On a long road trip, you get to a point where any restaurant will do as long as you can get a cup of coffee, and a bite to eat. I wasn't expecting much and this restaurant surprisingly was a great find!
I wish their signs were a little easier to see coming North bound on I-5. My hubby just pulled over guessing where he remembered it to be, and he was right! But I think it would help if they had better signage on the road. Iron Skillet is a food restaurant offered inside Petro. Don't ask me why it's like that but you'll see the words, "Petro" long before you notice the sign for Iron Skillet. I think Petro is also the name of the gas station next to it. They offer a gift shop inside the bldg. before entering the restaurant. A lot like Split Pea Anderson's for those of you familiar traveling South bound on I-5.
Anyways, the food was good! We both had soup and salad Buffett. It was great variety, and I felt comfortable with their cleanliness. I liked it way better than any fast food joints around. It's not fine dining, but really good for a pit stop on your way to somewhere else.
