Skillet Restaurant

I got the breakfast special #1. The eggs was good. But the served me cold grits with cheese on the top and it never melted like it should have. My cinnamon and sugar toast was burnt. My waitress really didn’t have time to be a waitress. That’s what I got from her. It’s a nice little spot. It’s small with heavy traffic.

A local favorite that is for sure. Especially for Sunday brunch. Food was served hot and the staff is experienced and friendly. When we arrived there was quite a queue which heightened our expectations of a unique culinary experience. we waited about 20 minutes as we needed a table for our party of 3. While the menu was creative and the food was prepared as ordered in the end it was fairly ordinary. It must be that there simply are not an abundance of choices for brunch in this area. I would certainly go again but if there was a long queue again I would seek to try other options.

I've been going to The Skillet since I could walk. Every time I go I get blueberry pancakes sprinkled with powdered sugar, and in my younger years I requested they be made in "mickey mouse" shape, to which the cook so kindly agreed. We got to know a cook named Leroy who I always looked forward to seeing. When I was about 8, Leroy went to an adjacent drug store and got me toys on his break. He is one of the kindest fellows I have ever known. Leroy has seen me grow up and go through many different hair colors, a boyfriend or two, and still he seems so excited to catch up with me when I sit down to order. Every friend I've held close to me has been with me to The Skillet. It's become almost a right of passage. This place really is a landmark in my life. They serve the only coffee I've been able to drink black. I can't wait to come back for a breakfast or brunch when I visit from college. I know my blueberry pancakes will be waiting for me.

What can I say...best breakfast in town!! I love going here for the food, but also for the wonderful staff too! It feels like family when you go in! Yes, it gets crowded at times and you may have to wait...shows you how good it is!! People don't crowd bad places! And it is always worth the wait!

Great food. I can't believe I've never been here before. The place was packed. Sat at the bar with strangers. If you don't like meeting new folks it's not for you. They do have tables. But it was just me. The menu is good size. Staff is friendly and efficient. The chicken and gravy was delicious. The pancakes look really good. This place is a must try!

Found the staff to be very unfriendly. They had us standing at the door for a while before someone said "find a seat", like we were bothering them. The waitress came over and when I ordered a burger, I said "just like it comes with everything". She said I had to tell her exactly what I wanted because she would only put on it what I told her. There was no mention of mayo and it was not listed on the menu but it was all over the burger. She came back once and grabbed my glass as she walked by, putting it back the same way, without a word. She never asked how the food was or if we needed anything the whole time. Just average food and unpleasant staff. Easy to find somewhere else where they care about the customers.
