    I always wanted to try this place as they seem busy all the time. We went for lunch and only waited for about 5 minutes. This is not a big space but there are so many tables there so it is not very cozy. The menu has so many items and fun to look at. I'm at Art's skillet, so might as well try a skillet. I tried Meat lover's skillet. Their food is priced very reasonably, compared to other breakfast/brunch spots I've been to, which is great! Food was great. It had a lot of ham and bacon. Will return but will try to be there off peak hours.

    Navy Seals Skillet with Wheat toast

    This not my first time here, but finally able to give this place its flowers! This time around it wasn't as busy as the first time, (jam packed). It's decent in size when not so busy, and definitely gives its true diner feel, was seated quickly near the bar top area, and Marcy was the server. She had the most interesting personality as you can see she was everywhere helping and knew just about everyone when customers came in. Noticed one particular worker on the floor when every time I looked up she was on her phone which shows to me that was more important then her job and mind you is unsanitary in a food establishment! I ordered the Navy Seals Skillet with wheat toast and a side of cheese grits. Mmmmmmm the skillet was delicious and had my taste buds jumping! Toast buttered well! Unfortunately the grits were watery and had clumps in it... but I feel that wouldn't stop me visiting another go around my next visit with family in Indiana! Thanks Art's skillet!

    Aug. 24, 2023. I've been to this specific location of Art's Skillet before and since this visit. I order one of the pancake dishes everytime and they're perfect! This time I got banana chocolate chip pancakes. Art's has a classic diner breakfast and lunch menu served with a smile. The restaurant is always clean and the entire staff is amazing. Around the walls are paintings by Art himself which is really cool! There has never been a wait time and we're always seated quickly. I visit this location with a regular customer and the entire staff knows them by name! They chat with us in a very friendly and warm manner. I'd definitely recommend stopping by here. You may even meet the owner of the chain himself (I have once while dining)!

    Cinnamon roll pancakes

    Love finding surprisingly good places in strip malls and Art's did not disappoint. Nice little diner vibe on the east side. Place was comfortably busy at 8:30 on a Saturday morning- no wait, but enough people it wasn't awkward. I had checked out the menu online ahead of time, but when I saw the real thing, it had so many more options! I ordered the cinnamon roll pancake combo and coffee. The portions were massive! The coffee was very fresh as well. Prices reasonable. Really great place to check out for your standard American breakfast fare.

Same great staff, same cool space, same open kitchen where a party of one like me can grab a counter seat and watch the chefs do their thing. I've honestly always enjoyed that part of the experience. Today I had the avocado toast with feta and an egg on top, and it totally hit the spot. Earlier this week I tried one of the newer menu items -- fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy, plus a sample of jalapeño cornbread and Asian slaw. Incredible comfort food. And as someone who normally isn't much of a slaw person, I was surprised by how much I loved it. They also tried to tempt me with the roast beef special, which honestly looked great, but at 10:30 in the morning I just couldn't fully commit to roast beef yet. Maybe next time. The new name is a nice tribute to the owner's mother, Arleen, but thankfully it still feels like the Milktooth so many of us have come to enjoy over the years. Definitely worth checking out if you haven't been in awhile.

The staff seemed a bit rundown and slap happy - not really attentive to the bar where I sat. I waited a bit long before I was greeted with a menu, waited awhile with an empty glass, waited with my food pushed away before it was cleared. No one asked if everything was okay even though most of my food was untouched. The food... my salad (house greens) was a great little salad! I say this despite finding a hair on the plate when I was about 2/3 through. My mussels and fries were not great. The fries were mid - they tasted kind of overdone or as if the oil were old. The mussels were actively bad. The portion (an app) was pretty small. There was hardly any broth/wine and they weren't piping hot. Also, they were actually not tasty and the texture was rubbery. They remained in front of me, uncleared, even after I closed my tab. They did not smell good. I don't anticipate being sick but I do anticipate being hungry.

We were greeted right away and looked over the menu a bit before ordering. My husband ordered the country breakfast with chicken (definitely the way to go) and I ordered the cheesy jalapeño grits with bacon. We each got a cup for water and I ordered a coffee, excited because I saw ahead of going that it was self-serve (like at Cafe Patachou where I can get as many coffees as I like without having to wait for our server to come check on us first). However, the self serve coffee excitement was short-lived after seeing that they only offered half and half as creamer (I'm lactose intolerant) and the two coffee carafes were not labeled for what was inside (decaf? medium roast? you'll never know!) and then one was completely empty and never refilled during our visit. The water station also was not ever refilled during our visit, so we were not able to get refills after filling up our cups the first time. It took a couple of tries to find a table we could sit at because you seat yourself, but several had not been cleaned after other guests left and had food and drinks spilled on them. There were definitely enough staff members there to be able to clean them in between customers, so we weren't sure why they were left that way. We ended up sitting in the middle of the room towards the front, across from the clown art wall, which made for interesting conversation as we looked through everything. When the food came out I was impressed with the portions, but I had no flavor whatsoever to my cheesy jalepeno grits. The egg and bacon were good, but not enough to make it a good dish and I would not order it again. And I love savory breakfast and grits in general, so it was a real bummer. My husband's dish was worth the visit though. It was a huge portion size and we honestly would just split it if we came back and ordered it. It was so savory, seasoned perfectly, and juicy. One of the best breakfast dishes I have tried recently! I really debated between 3-4 stars for this, but my dish was a flop, the lack of cleanliness for the seating area, the lackluster self-serve coffee station, and not refilling the beverages ultimately scored a 3 star review for me. I would come back and try something else though, or split the country chicken breakfast because it was really good. Hopefully next time the beverages won't be empty!
