It's been a hot minute since I've been up to Seattle and visited my old fave Skillet. SO HAPPY to report this spot still slaps and the service was phenomenal. My friend got the hot honey biscuit and poutine *with breakfast potatoes and caramelized onions instead of fries* - the poutine was insanely good. I got the chicken chub sandwich with a kale Caesar, and it was a flavor bomb to the extreme. Coffee was strong! Vibes were good. It's good to be back.

Came here in a Sunday morning! Place was pretty packed but they got us seating. There's some outdoor seating too which is accommodating of pets. Having a conversation is kind of hard since where we were seated, there were people directly to the left and right of us talking and it's hard not to hear everything. Service was pretty good and fast. Food was decent too. Kind of over-priced for the quality. We heard the chicken wasn't the best so we didn't order any chicken menu items. We got French toast, shareable Mac and cheese and the avocado breakfast burrito with fries. The French toast was ok. Lacking flavor or taste. The Mac and cheese was pretty good but bland and tasted a tiny bit watery. The best item we ordered, that I would order again, was the avocado breakfast burrito. Super tasty and fresh. The fries in the burrito paired nicely as well.

This feel like a very classic Seattle vibe. It's definitely a little more packed than I thought it would be, it's hard to have a more personal conversation, it feels like I'm a part of everyone else's conversation around me. Overall the food is pretty good. I can't say it's worth the price but I think it's pretty typically for Seattle. I would return if I find myself really wanting to feel like a typical seattleite at some point in the future. No parking lot, find street parking.

Skillet Diner in Capitol Hill is an absolute gem, and I have to start by saying how amazing the staff were. As a Florida boy visiting Seattle, I felt immediately welcomed by their friendliness and warmth. They made the whole experience even better. The food was incredible. I didn't have the biggest appetite that day and couldn't take leftovers with me, but I couldn't resist trying the Chicken Chub with bacon jam--it was *so* good. The flavors were out of this world. Also, finding grits that are actually well-prepared is a rare thing, but Skillet nailed it. Their grits were fantastic, and I found myself wishing I could finish every bite. The drinks were just as good, pairing perfectly with the cozy, beautiful decor. It all came together to make the whole dining experience feel special and laid-back at the same time. If you're in the area, Skillet Diner is definitely worth the visit.

My friends and I stumbled upon this restaurant while visiting Seattle. The staff was patient and kind. He guided us through the menu and suggested the popular dishes. We ordered the The Cluck Chub, Chicken Sammy and the Breakfast Skillet. The food looked and tasted amazing! The fried chicken in the sandwiches were tender and crispy, and the breakfast taters/fries were cooked perfectly. The skillet was amazing with the mix of fried chicken, breakfast taters, scrambled eggs, veggies and chorizo sauce! 10/10 recommend if you're in the area for some delicious breakfast food!
