Food was just okay wings needed more sauce was fried way too hard restaurant was quiet not many customers mostly take out. Great customer service
I honestly would have never found this little gem if I hadn't needed to get gas in the neighborhood. This has obviously changed hands and is now a taqueria. The standalone building is conveniently located near the airport. The restaurant was clean and ample. There is plenty of seating. The food was delicious. The counter service was fast. I definitely recommend.
Skinny's has changed owners. (and it's just as good.) There was a food/taco truck on Virginia Avenue just down from Skinny's and they have taken over ownership. So the big change is Skinny's is now Chilos Taqueria (but the signs haven't changed). The former owners were Korean (and that was featured on the menu). The new owners have kept some of the more popular Korean dishes, wings and burgers. Moreover, they have added numerous Mexican street foods. I had 3 of the tacos plus a horchata. All very good. I recommend it for anyone. Nice presentation with sliced cucumber and radishes.
10/10 I definitely recommend!! My mom and I love carnitas tacos and this place didn't offer them when we first started coming. But the persistence my mom showed always asking Angel (the owner or manager I'm unsure of his title) he put it on the menu! That says a lot right there about the type of place this is! Those pork tacos are soooooo freaking good I could've kissed him right on the forehead lol. Food: 10/10 everything is bomb Service: 10/10 everyone is super sweet Ambience:10/10 very clean establishment
Skinny's used to be my favorite restaurant to go to, but since falling under new ownership, I won't be going back. I tried giving them a chance twice, but the food just isn't the same level of quality it was under the previous owners. I used to get the Bibimbap all of the time and it was always extremely tasteful and perfectly cooked, but now it is over seasoned and the rice isn't properly cooked. I will miss the warm and memorable service once provided, but also the extremely delicious food.
TL;DR: Great lunch portions for a great price. Surpring menu options! ARRIVAL: It's a small parking lot in front with about 6 spots, so hopefully you get lucky around lunchtime. AMBIANCE: It's a quiet restaurant with a only-diner-in-the-middle-of-nowhere-while-on-a-roadtrip vibes. The atmosphere is a bit empty and cold, but not sterile. You order at the front and they'll call out your name/order when it's ready! There were a few other tables with people dining in pairs or groups. It looks and feels like a place that survives off one-time customers, but I can tell they definitely have small family business vibes and have their regulars. MENU: The lunch menu has great small portion options for about $5! The standard menu is also available with a drink. FOOD: I got the 1/2 philly cheesesteak with tots. The tots aren't seasoned so i dashed some seasoning salt (on the table next to the register), but they were super crispy (just the way I like them). The sandwich was about 3 inches (a half for lunch), but was a bit smaller than i had expected. They don't skimp on the fillings and fill it up the way it would be if it was a full sandwich just cut in half. SERVICE: The staff was very friendly and had conversation with me when I ordered (i think this is standard Southern but I don't usually get it when i'm ordering at the register!). I only saw a team of 2 when I was there. One working the front and maybe something in the kitchen and on dedicated cook. There's a sign that says they're working on getting orders completed quickly to accommodate people on lunch breaks, so that's nice! We opted to dine in when we came, so we weren't in a rush and i didn't pay attention to how long it took, but it wasn't long at all. EXPERIENCE: I'm not super keen on the atmosphere inside as it's just not very welcoming so I may opt for take out the next time I go, but it's close to work and the food and people were nice, so I will definitely be back for lunch! PRICE: Great for a lunch in the area! OVERALL: Really like the lunch portion and prices as I don't always eat lunch early enough and want to be too full! I like that I can eat it all and not have to worry about taking a few bites of leftovers home. A little worried about parking here for lunch, but i can also walk!
Small hole in the wall restaurant with an interesting menu. They have everything from egg rolls/Bibimbap to hot dogs/hamburgers and Philly cheesesteaks. Neither the exterior or interior are impressive. The parking lot is a nightmare but most customers walk over from Deltas HQ. The staff is friendly and the food was ready rather quickly. I ordered the Bibimbap with an egg roll. The Bibimbap was very good except the egg was overcooked for this type of dish. The best part is breaking the yolk into the fried rice, but it was cooked beyond that. I wish it came with more kimchi as well. My colleague has a cheesesteak and was also impressed. Overall, the menu is a somewhat strange and they offer a little bit of everything. As most people know, this isn't a great area and they don't shy away with their gun hanging above the cashiers head.
Let's just say that we definitely have drove by this place a ton of times and NEVER realized that it was such a gem.. today while driving through I decided to just take a chance on a place that had good reviews from my fellow yelpers and I am glad I did. As soon as we walked in we were greeted and our order was taken.. we got a chopped cheesesteak & fries, a cheeseburger & fries and lemon pepper wings with chicken fried rice.. Less than 10 minutes later our orders were ready and the lovely lady who made them came and brought them to the table. She also cut my daughter's cheeseburger in half for her. That was a definite mom move and I really appreciated her for it... We loved our food and will be back for sure, my chicken fried rice was so fresh and although my wings were not humongous they were delicious, my daughter finished all of her food and my husband's bread was so soft on his cheesesteak it felt like a pillow..on our way out the owner told me bye using my name another personable touch that I honestly think made my day..
Not often do i get caught off guard by "Good" Reviews. Now by all means, this rating currently could change. I'm willing to give it a 2nd (or 3rd chance) because maybe it was just one bad experience. If so, no biggie. Persuaded by the good reviews on Yelp, I definitely wanted to try this place since i frequent this area especially across the street from one of my favorite BBQ spots in all of Atlanta. Had the Korean Tacos, Wings and Fries. I have to admit, it was average at best. And that's saying it nicely. I expected more flavor or something to make it stand out. I am willing to try this again or something with a little twist. Not impressed. The Fries were average at best. Arguably the best item i had and that's not saying much. But the wings. My god, these midget, itzy bitzy tiny wings . Paid $6 plus for some smallest wings ive ever seen and not being cliche about it either. Again, will try this again and Yelp , will try again and hopefully the experience will be better. Grade: C
Awesome lunch joint. For what it is it's perfect. Want bougie, move on. Great comfort food. Good selection of Korean and American!
Reviews are generally positive. People highlight the friendly staff, quick service, fresh and tasty food, and clean, ample space.

Spacious and Clean space for dining in! The food is always fresh and tasty. We are big fans of the "Campechana" and the Asada tacos. The beans and rice are solid. I do wish they didn't charge for chips and salsa. Speaking of salsa, the creamy green salsa is something special! read more

Yes this is a dive and yes it does have a tv playing Korean Shows (maybe others, but that was what was on at the time). Bim Bim Bop (Chicken) was DELICIOUS and huge portion for $8.50 and they were SO NICE!! Plenty of parking in the front and right off the highway if coming from the airport. This is a local goody so don't be scared and come on it. I can't wait to come back and try other things! read more

It's a hole in the wall, but so delicious. The food quality is great and the prices are very affordable. I called my order in ahead of time and had no issues. It's an awesome fusion of classic American and Korean cuisine. read more

A great Philly without the frill. If I came again, I would definitely order the tots instead of the fries. The aesthetics are awful but the menu is on point. Close to the airport and worth the trip. read more

Was looking for some Asian-ish food - saw that Skinny's was a Korean-Fusion place and went to check it out. Not much parking out front. Place is clean. Service is prompt and friendly. I tried their Korean-ish dishes. Was more American tasting than Korean to be honest. I probably wouldn't get it next time. Maybe their Western food is tastier? I did however really like their tater-tots. read more

Bibimbap was pretty good served with a egg over medium. The portion was large and filling. No complaints and will order again. On a previous visit, I had the beef hot dog which is big and filling. Skinny cooks everything to order, which means there's a wait but the reward is hot food. The staff and service is good and the food is affordable. read more

Harlem's take on Philadelphia's Cheesesteak has landed in Hapeville. I've never had a chopped cheese but i've had several Cheesesteaks all over Philadelphia. I definitely want to try an original chopped cheese from a Harlem bodega with hopes that it can hold up against an Philadelphia Cheesesteaks. I can't go higher or lower than a 3 on Skinny's chopped cheese until I try an original chopped cheese from Harlem. If I had to rate it against a Philadelphia Cheesesteaks I would give it a 2 or 2.5 at best. read more

A reason to come to the airport. Doesn't have to be fancy to be freakin' good, and this is one of those spots. Well prepared with fresh ingredients. Will be back without a doubt. Did I mention, yummy!!! read more
I recently stayed in the area for business and Skinny's was my favorite place to eat! The chicken wings and fried rice combo was consistently on point. Generous portions and very affordable. The son of the owner who runs the register was always super cool and greeted me by name every time I went in. When I go back for business, you know Skinny's is on my food map! read more

Great service, lots of seating, and quality food at an affordable price. I've had the bibimbap (variety of veggies and meat with rice), teriyaki chicken, and buffalo chicken salad for lunch. The portions are really large and filling. A super big plus is they always make an effort to try and get to know you. Definitely worth a shot if you're in the area and it's open. Parking can be cramped but you can do it across the street in the grassy field. read more

Great lunch spot, the house fried rice will definitely be enough to keep you coming back for more! The customer service here is awesome too, I really haven't experienced anything negative here. read more
I read the reviews and thought, hum can't be too bad. So I decided to give it a try. Not bad. I ordered the bibimpap chicken. Didn't know what that was but it's fried rice with chicken and an egg basically. They serve it in a big bowl. Hope your hungry. It's allot of food. My buddy ordered the fried rice and wings. Wings were small but I didn't hear any complaints. So,I guess I'll give this place a good rating. Food, good. Service, good. Price, real good. Great for lunch, absolutely. I recommend. read more
