Two words: bacon jam . That's the condiment served on the burger at food truck and now brick-and-mortar Diner . Allecia Vermillion of Seattle Met magazine says it has "become a local classic."

Robert Radich

They got a large brunch menu that makes it difficult for you to decide on one thing only. Go with a group and try different things off the menu . They also have these sliding doors to open up the patio

Crist Jarrett

Came for the chicken and waffles , indulged in the serious toast . Holy crap was that meal amazing. Service was great. Sit at the bar , start a conversation, become a regular. This place is the greatest.

Chris Petescia

Ultimate Grilled Cheese w fried chicken thigh AND bacon jam ... Delicious but a LOT for one person. Prob healthiest for longevity to share with someone. But so, so good.

Nick G

You need to try the mac and cheese (definitely add the bacon jam ), the grilled cheese (with the bacon jam ), and the fried chicken sandwich .

Tucker Burns

Comfort food at its best and breakfast food served all day...aside from clogging your arteries there isn't a bad thing about skillet. The bacon fat fried waffle desert is unreal

Connie Lu

Love the fact that there's breakfast all day! The Daily Specials are awesome, so make sure to give them a good look over. They know how to do Spaghetti and Meatballs right. Simple, but so tasty.

Kaitlin Martineau

Cornmeal crusted fish & cheesy grits with kale and chipotle mayo . The fish was outstanding and had a great crunch, but the grits needed some love

Anastasia Thompson

The grilled cheese with bacon jam is so unique and delicious! The special fries are a treat. Friendly atmosphere and cozy decor .

Tanya Pham

Love this little diner ! The Poutine is he best I've had and will feed four as an app. Great fried chicken and corn meal waffles . Scrambles here are always delicious. Fabulous Bloody Mary's .

Serious Eats

Open daily for breakfast , lunch , and dinner . The Skillet Burger and the Fried Chicken Sammy are classics, and the Ebelskivers are specific to this location.

Kaede Balazs

Be prepared for a line , but the food is worth the wait. I had the pork belly and waffle ... Like a more sophisticated version of chicken and waffles ! ;) mmm

Ben Gasparini

The wait can be loooong. But they have free coffee at the door and the food is amazing. Try the breakfast sandwiches on their pancakes instead of the normal bread .

Matt Affolter

Wow. The biscuit and gravy was incredible. Fluffy yet crispy , great taste, nothing overdone. Music was good too!

Mario Chapela

Great place for breakfast ; had the chicken & waffles plus fried eggs ; the bacon is excellent

John L.

My brother in law says if they serve your coffee with a spoon in it, you’ll have a great breakfast . He’s right...

Brian Rivera

Belgian Waffle with Pork Belly , OverEasy Egg and Fried Chicken , with just a touch of maple syrup , is an absolutely glorious meal. Best sweet and savory combo ever.

Manny Baez

Fantastic food. For a drink get the Root & Rocks. For food the Cornmeal Waffle w/ Porkbelly.

Bradley Denherder

Honestly, any of the variations of the peanut butter and fluff / jam and the eggs are delicious and the mixed drinks ... Have them all!!!

Nathan Hartmann

Anything on the breakfast menu is good! Believe me... because we definitely ate there more than once

Allen

The Chub is one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've had. Great Bloody Mary's too. The deconstructed hash is also a winner.

Rashaad Balbale

Basic burger and fried chicken Sammy were awesome! Fast / friendly service , chill outdoor seating .

Jun D

Try the Munster Mac n cheese ! It's delish! Fried chicken is good but batter is on the sweeter side. Pan seared salmon is recommended as well !

michelle

Get mike's scramble- it changes daily, but it's served w/balsamic dressed fresh salad , and the scramble is served on brioche toast . Thumbs up!

Bill Wu

Try the fried chicken sammy or the burger (to die for). My fav place for quick soul food . Also great for brunch

Nikki Page

Sooooo good! My friends and I shared a smörgasbord of yummy food. The beets were a great start. Awesome service!

Leah Candelaria-Tyler

Meh. Grits and poached eggs were too vinegary. And Biscuit Bitch has way better gravy ...and biscuits ...and grits . Coffee is fantastic. So is the service. Kale salad looks amazing!

Lauren Melcher

The Hustle skillet (spoon bread with chorizo and pepper hash ) with a side of caramelized grapefruit

Tana Babcock

The fish & grits is beyond delicious. I also highly recommend the fried chicken and adding the waffle .

Jenny H

The Little Rob was heaven in my mouth! Fruit instead of greens was a great choice. The berry mix was fresh and delicious.

Jane Hudson

I've never had a tastier salmon sandwich ! Also, if you sometimes crave the amazing Fried Chicken Sandwich at Bake Sale Betty's in Oakland I dare say Skillet Diner 's is actually better!

Elizabeth

This diner was so delicious. From the cocktails to their poutine and kale Cesar. Perfect

Barry Hott

Extremely gluttonous breakfast and lunch options. Everything is creative and delicious.

Parker Kuivila

They have bacon jam and it's delicious. Get it on your grilled cheese

Daniel L.

Simply speaking, just make sure to eat everything on the menu before you die. Especially the chicken Sammy, lamby joes, and chicken & waffles .

Chris Petescia

Try the chub! Delicious and not overwhelming. Plus greens for conscious.

Jeanette Sherman

Toast , eggs and bacon are great! Atmosphere was nice too.

Jorge Vargas

"The Chub" was an amazing brunch option. The jalapeño aioli is to die for. Great place!!

Jennifer Hough

Service is amazing! If you're weekend bunching, make a reservation ! The food is wonderful

Aveena Mathew

Chicken and cornbread waffle with 2 over easy eggs = life changed

Chris Petescia

Get the donuts for dessert - worth saving room for ????????

Natasha Tonsfeldt

To die for food! So flavorful and delicious! Had the deconstructed corned beef hash - perfectly cooked and awesome!

Jack Reeves

The breakfast shot comes with a slice of bacon . What else do you need to know?

Alexander Kovalev

Perfect for breakfast . French toast is a champion!

Steph Sia

Little Tokyo cocktail is amazing as well as their chicken fried steak . PS. Wifi is Baconjam with a capital "B"!

Jeff P

The bacon infused bloody and fried chicken sammy make for an excellent meal! Seriously delicious.

Denille G.

Chicken & Waffles . Biscuits & Gravy with a side of over easy eggs . Fruit crisp baked in a cast iron skillet & a la mode = worth every penny and calorie.

Dr. Bowtie Witte

Some gluten free options , but they are limited... The 'scramble' was made with a gluten meatloaf and GF alternative was available. ????

Larissa Vidal

Polenta fries with carmelized grapefruit = The Best Breakfast in the History of the World.

Scott Barron

Fantastic food and service! Loved the Cobb salad and waffles !
