| - We tried Skillets on a Sunday morning, about 8:30 AM. This was our second time here. The decor is very nice, and the location is great for us. I would love for this to be a go-to local breakfast place for us. But I am just not sure.
The menu is extensive, and everything sounds very good. But on this trip we had trouble with the food and the service. First with the service. The host was great and sat us quickly at a good table for the 5 of us. Server arrived promptly. She did however, mess up our order. Two of our meals arrived wrong. More on that later. When we asked for ketchup, she forgot to bring it until we asked again. Never offered to bring us anything. Coffee, she poured the first cup then left the carafe. But never checked the carafe, which was empty quickly.
The food. One meal came wrong, we asked for fruit and not toast. The meal came with toast. My meal was a Philly Cheese Steak skillet. The meat was sirloin, not ribeye and kind of flavourless. Just a few peppers and onions in it. Not enough in my opinion. And it was served over grits! I had asked for grits on the side and for the skillet to have the potatoes. When I mentioned it they brought a side of the "skillets potatoes" These are more like a potato/cheese casserole and they wouldn't work well in the skillet anyway. I ordered my eggs over medium and they came over easy - if that.
Great location, friendly staff, but perhaps a little absent minded. The food quality could be better. I will give them another chance......
