Waited for 60 minutes for table for Saturday Brunch....watched several larger groupsget seated and when we checked in with hostess she kept saying it'd be a few more minutes. Then the waiter lied and said he'd already called our name. Poor service,food unknown.

Really great fries, really great burgers. Really high prices. And room temp water lol. I'm not much into organic food, I'm fine with your average gmo whatever burger. Good food though...

This was my first restaurant visit after early March. I fealt very comfortable and safe. The staff was courteous and friendly. Had their Masks on. The food was well prepared and served in a safest of manner. A safe and a good experience.

If you want a cinnamon roll...split it with someone, or take a nap halfway through. Excellent though. Service was prompt, even during a brunch rush. Ps...Add bacon to the avocado burrito.

Wildly overrated. I don't really understand the hype at all. Glo's cafe is cheaper, tastier, and had a more authentic atmosphere. Chicken and waffles were not great, nor was the the breakfast burrito.

The food is okay but the prices are too high and the serving sizies are terrible. Mixed drinks aren't good and expensive. If you want Street kart qoverpriced foods, then this is the place to go to. There better places for better prices on The Hill than here.

Nice menu for brunch. The brunch's timings are also suitable. Apart from that, their taste is also very good. This place has won the title by my family of their often to visit place. It will be recommended by me to everyone who loves brunch.

Amazing breakfast drinks and breakfast fare. They are currently reservation only on OpenTable so be sure to do that before you arrive. I recommend the Bellini, the drink flight, the breakfast burrito and the mimosas!

Skillet is great for brunch and lunch, making a mean Bacon Bloody Mary!
On my last visit I had the Kale Ceasar with friend Chicken thighs. It was garlicky, tangy and great.
Definitely worth a visit!

Haven't been in a while cuz it's always line-out-the door, but happened by at the perfect time on a Sunday and enjoyed a wonderful (and substantial) meal with excellent service.

Our amazing server even brought us our Farmers Market mushrooms we left behind, tho we had walked up the block a little bit. Major , didn't catch his name.

We went here for dinner on a Saturday night in Seattle. This place was not busy and we received remarkably excellent service. I had the Cobb salad (very substaintial) and my boyfriend had the bacon mac and cheese which was super rich. This was a perfect place to grab an easy delicious dinner, without worrying about the weekend Dinner Fuss.

Requires reservations in advance due to Covid. I arrived at 7:30am and the restaurant was virtually empty. Was told I could reserve at 8am. I understand capacity is limited due to covid restrictions. However, the place was empty and I'm sure they could have fit me in. I ended up taking my business elsewhere due to being super hungry.

Attempted to go here to be informed we needed to have reservations at 8 in the morning. When no one customer was present in the restaurant.

Definitely understand restrictions due to covid. But if no one is in the restaurant, it is a silly to not want paying customers inside.

Considering never coming back to this location, when I have seen other Skillet's operate normally. Their loss I suppose.

I haven't been here in forever, since bacon jam craze! I revisited this weekend for brunch and my family is not foodies and picky, but tried the biscuits and sage gravy, and it was a hit at our table. We had the cinnamon roll and I'd suggest getting one as a share, it was delicious and fresh! Service was normal on hill service and was ok. Their brunch cocktail menu was on point!

Holy cow! Best fried chicken I've ever had!!! All the food was amazing and Jae took such good care of us. Their safety protocols made us feel safe. I WILL be coming back, next time I'm in Seattle!

I still rate this location as the best. It is the original and still by far the best. All the food is good but Brunch is the best time to visit, especially on Saturday and Sunday. The Cinnamon Roll is the best i have ever had and the kicker is the warm cream cheese frosting. Always make sure that if you do order one, ask for extra frosting, you won't regret it.

I ordered their french toast, which they talk up on the menu. It was burnt, and cutting into the bread, the custard hadn't penetrated it at all. They clearly slapped the bread in for a second before putting it on the griddle. None of the advertised molasses custard flavor or texture. I basically spent $15 on four pieces of lightly burned toast, a small slice of ham, and two over-medium eggs when I ordered over-easy.

My friend got the chicken and waffles. The chicken was over-fried to a dark brown, like two little turds. The waffle was tasteless. He sent his back and ordered something else, which came with potatoes that had been seasoned before frying (what?!) and we're the same shade of "oops" dark brown the chicken had been.

All in all, dining here was an expensive mistake.

The coffee and service were great, but Skillet needs to fix its kitchen.

I came here for breakfast with my girlfriend and had a blast. I got the waffles and substituted the pork belly for fried chicken and it was the best decision of my life. The fried chicken was amazing and perfectly seasoned. My only regret is not coming back for dinner!

While I enjoyed the diner atmosphere, the food I had was a bit par, I had came in, in the middle of a rush, and being food service myself I understand that they were trying to get food out to customers as quickly as possible, but once I started to reach the bottom of my bowl, I had a pool of oil, not grease, but the oil that my food was cooked in, leaving my meal tasting bland and soggy. Speed of service should never interfere with quality of food. Good food is worth waiting for.

Highly recommend for breakfast! I got Mike's scramble of the day and it was soo good. Partner got the breakfast burrito which he also enjoyed. Large portions. Good coffee, GREAT Bloody Mary's. Quick and efficient service.

We were there for our reservation on time. The waiter said he needs to get our table ready and that there are still people sitting at the table but it will be ready for us soon and he will tell me. We waited outside because it was very crowded inside. 20 minutes later, we still haven't heard from him so I went back inside and he didn't even recognize me. We were then seated very quickly. The food was great as well as the service once we were seated. But waiting 20 minutes even with a reservation and the need to make myself noticed was very unpleasant.

My first time here I was hung over and the greasy/gourmet/diner food hit the spot. I was so excited to see such good diner food I never really paid attention to the price. First time around I ordered the PB & J with bananas AND the grilled cheese sandwich with a side of poutine. I know i'm fat. don't judge. Paid the bill and didn't think anything of it.

The second time I came, I had the pork belly. And the third time I brought my gf and I had the mac n cheese and she had a salad and a milk shake.

It wasn't til the 3rd time I came here did I notice the prices. I realized then I paid $10 for a PB & J, $9 for a grilled cheese... sheesh... pricey... I don't remember the pork belly price because I was shocked that a salad, milk shake, and mac n cheese costed my $52.

Is the food good? Yes, it was all very delicious... is it worth the price tag? hardly so. For that kind of money I would rather have a fancy dinner... not have just fancy diner.

Great service, great food--had a reservation for Saturday morning breakfast. Everything was tasty from the breakfast sammy to yogurt and granola. Only drawback, a little expensive but probably normal for the area.

I saw this place online and it seemed like it had lots of options, but as soon as we got there the menu was very limited. I understand that due to Covid many places are now being limited to their menus, but it would have been nice to know prior. I am giving a 3 star because even though we had no reservation( which I was not aware that we had to reserve as it was never mentioned online) they were still able to accommodate us.

Amazing breakfast served in a casual atmosphere. There are long wait times on the weekend and the service can be slow but is worth the time spent. We really enjoyed the fried chicken egg sandwich
