Tasty breakfast! I was lucky to get a table at Country Skillets on a packed Sunday morning. All but two tables were taken. They offer a wide variety of country/old-fashioned breakfast and lunch items. I ordered the Denver omelet with hashbrowns and a biscuit with gravy. The omelet came out piping hot with perfectly diced and crunchy bell peppers. The ham had a nice flavor and crispness. I really enjoyed the flavor of the gravy. It had the perfect amount of pepper in it and wasn't overly runny. The biscuits however were a bit hard, almost as if they had come out of a can. The hashbrowns were mushy to me. The coffee also came out warm at best. They were not crispy and were slightly soggy. The food is a little pricy but the portions are large. Country Skillets is decorated like a Hobby Lobby. It is super cute and pretty intimate. It is definitely loud and a tad crowded. Our server was nice and brought out food out very quickly despite it being busy. She came by frequently to offer refills and bring napkins. After you receive your bill at the table, you pay at the front counter. I love restaurants like this because it definitely saves time! I would definitely come back and try some more of their menu! read more

Always a good stop. Prices went up but fair. (We can thank Joe Biden for that). Food is good. Customer service is always excellent read more

The food is amazing, the service was wonderful and the price is affordable, I loved the fresh home made strawberry jam with my sourdough toast, I would highly recommend this breakfast spot. My food was cooked perfectly as I requested. I'll be coming here more often! read more

When I get to go out to Breakfast(which is not a lot) this is where i go. I have never been disappointed with the food and service. One of the few places you can get linguica, which is excellent. The Country Potatoes are my favorite from any restaurant and the pancakes are large and fluffy. I cant think of anything that wasnt fresh and good tasting read more

Amazing food and service! What a surprise that this cozy place was right in the corner of a shopping complex that I pass all the time. We have need 2 weeks in a row for brunch on Saturday so that says a lot! No photos as the food didn't last long enough co capture it lol. read more

Every time we eat there our food is never the same. The first time we got Chicken fried steak and eggs. We were amazed on how big the chicken fried steak was. The second time we ate there, the steak wasn't as big. We ate there on 3/21 and the steak was half the size it was from the first time. We also got over charged on 2 orders. I went in to fix it and the manager was not nice, never apologized and quite frankly, was really rude. She inidicated it was my fault and that basically I wasn't listening. She kept asking me what do I want her to do, not very nice like and then also kept saying she couldn't fix my bill? I was confused as to what she wanted me to say. At the end she gave me not quite the difference and said she would never do it again. We will never go back, regardless of how good the food was, she ruined it for us. We also drove 13 miles to eat there because we were told how good the food was, so coming back to fix our bill and not getting back what we really were charged, wasn't worth it. read more

This is a great breakfast joint if you live or visit the Ripon area. The interior has a homely vibe to it. They have bathrooms for men & women. They are open daily from 530am-230pm. Every time I have visited, I have been immediately greeted and seated. The wait staff in my experience has been great. It doesn't take long for someone to come by to introduce themselves and offer beverages while browsing the menu. The service has always been great from beginning to end. I typically order an omelette when I visit, but they have all the foods you would come to expect from places like this. There are a bunch of photos on yelp depicting the different foods and menu options. My opinion is their pricing is pretty fair for the quality of food. For the seniors (55 and up), they have a senior section in the menu with slightly discounted pricing. In my humble opinion, this is a great breakfast place that offers quality service, good tasting food and fair prices. read more

I love this place! Everytime we are in town, we tend to swing by here. They are locally owned, have great customer service, and the food is delicious! I'm a brunch kind of gal, so they have my kind of menu! I would highly recommend stopping by. read more

Living down the street from this location I am a frequent customer. Came in last weekend for the last time. You can ascertain based on the sign on the window that they are hiring year round. I would guess that is because no one wants to work with the older server. Walked in and the restaurant was busy but not packed. We were not acknowledged or told to sign our names on anything. The server who is always there walks past us multiple times with no direction although there are many open tables. My wife finally walks up to the server with tattoos that ends up letting us know we can have a seat. Waited there for a while and could see other customers visibly irritated. We're then asked to move which is no problem at all. The other server consistently gave us dirty looks and I could hear her yelling at her coworker about our table specifically and how we sat down without being on the list. Obviously with a tone and volume meant for us to hear. She is always rude and uninviting. To be clear the younger lady with tattoos who took our table was fantastic. Service from her was on point and the food was delicious. Won't be returning because of the disrespectful and poor service provided by the other server. read more

Exactly what I expected from a "country diner" type of restaurant. Lots of picnic table outdoor seating on patio. I can say our service for party of 6 was 5 star! Coffees & waters refilled. Food was typical fare. Large portions, nothing special but senior meal for over 55 was couple bucks cheaper & included a drink so that was a good value. Overall the other meals weren't exactly cheap $13.99 for eggs benedict. read more

Arrived around noon. Waited 15 long minutes to place our order after being seated. The restaurant was not very busy. Waitresses were chatting and restocking. The country potatoes were room temperature and the egg of my omelet was over cooked and there was very little cheese. I was disappointed. read more

The best breakfast I have had in a while! The portions were not only generous, the food was soo delicious I was tempted to eat it all! Definitely coming back for breakfast! read more

Stop by this place today because I was in the neighborhood and was very disappointed. Ordered food saw people coming after us got their food and was almost done . mention it to the waitress. She forgot to turn the ticket and started bringing us the wrong food . Ended leaving and going to the usual velvet creamery where you can't go wrong. read more

Crowded! Several groups, so noisy my ears are ringing. Friendly fast moving servers, large menu and good food. Weekends are a mob scene. We have been here several times, and always enjoyed the food. Well cooked, big portions, nicely done. read more

This place is super legit!! Great food and the service is absolutely the best. I'll be back 100%.

First time here and i will say it's definitely cute and service is great but the food is terrible.Just really bland in my opinion but its seems that a lot of people do enjoy coming here. Just not my cup of tea. read more

This place is so gross. Picked up food for my husband and I this morning. Over cooked and bland but we were still willing to eat it since we paid 40 for the French dip and steak sandwich. Well my husband found mold on his bread. So gross!! I will not be going back to this place ever again. read more

Place was only half full and no one ever came to get our order. I made eye contact with multiple waitresses they ignored me. One walked by and I asked if she could take our order she told my she just switched us with someone else and they would be there right away. Waited another five minutes no one came. Just left read more

Excellent service with nothing but smiles and politeness. Food was AWSOME and so was quickness by the cooks. Would highly recommend and advise to get there early. Could be a short wait because of popularity. read more

Yummy comfort food. Best biscuits and gravy! My daughter had chicken fried steak that was breaded and seasoned to perfection. Would definitely recommend this place. read more

We live about an hour away and we're in town for baseball purposes for our son and we decided to try this place out. The ladies all greeted us and we're very friendly as soon as we came in, they were attentive through the whole meal which I appreciated. The food was amazing! The gravy on the country skillet had me in love and the potatoes were cooked and seasoned perfectly, My son had the French toast and eat every bite. They are very giving on portion sizes. It was a Nice atmosphere and just overall we really enjoyed ourselves. We will definitely be back when we're in town again. read more

Omg she dropped the menu on the ground and then picked it up and layed it on the table. I said no don't put on the table and she let me know she mopped yesterday, the floors are pretty clean. Ummm but those shoes are filthy dirty walking all your clean floors making them dirty. Sat for a minute and decided to leave. read more

Visited Country Skillets for the first time. I will say that my family and I will return should we be in the area. The food had good flavor. The biscuit under the gravy was a bit over cooked. The heat of the gravy did soften the middle portion of the biscuit, but both the top and bottom crust were tough to cut. The French Toast was delicious, light and fluffy. It was a good compliment to the savory flavors from the Portuguese Skillet. There were no complaints from the BLTA (Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato and Avocado) or the Breakfast Burger. I could not in good conscience score a 5th star solely based on the service. The restaurant was neither overly packed, nor short staffed. The level of attention paid to the Customers could have been better. My Son was originally brought the wrong order. In all fairness the waitress did rush the correct order so that his meal was not too far behind my wife's and my meal. I hope that our next visit will be better. If so I will revise my review. read more

Nice place. Good Breakfast at fair price. Wait staff is very cordial. Looking forward to my next visit! read more

Do not recommend. Bad customer service. Walked in to talk to friends after just getting a Dutch brothers coffee and the waitress was rude in telling me no food or drink since there was a sign on the door. No exceptions. Choose your battles. If the owner wants that to be a hard a fast rule that's fine. I'll take my business elsewhere. Over a coffee, Really! read more

This is a small restaurant but if they are busy the wait has always been 2-5 minutes. We have never been disappointed in the service or food. I would recommend them....coffee cup will not run out read more

Reminds me of the breakfasts my grandma used to make on Sunday mornings. Yum! Small but cozy, staff was attentive and helpful in recommendations. We will definitely be back! read more

I love coming to this place! They have the best breakfast food & the best staff, Karen & Liz! Karen is the sweetest, most polite & kindest server! And Liz is the joyful & friendliest server! Thank you for everything you both do & for taking care of us! We enjoy our meal because of people like you two! God bless you both! read more

Breakfast. It's still the most important meal of the day. And the name of this new restaurant alone, Country Skillets, gave me a hankering for some home cookin' griddle fare. The good... 1. It's a new business, so the space is uber clean. 2. They got my custom omelet order correct. 3. They have biscuits. The bad... 1. My custom omelet (bacon, cheddar, onion) was greasy. 2. The home fries were flavorless. Unseasoned potatoes are not appetizing. 3. The coffee. If you are a coffee lover, you'll want to skip it. The promising... 1. Portions are generous. But what good are generous portions if they are going to be greasy & bland? 2. Service was attentive. The server offered to refill my coffee twice. If it had been good coffee, I would have let her. 2 stars. read more

Place is clean and service staff is friendly. I'd have to come back and order something different. I got eggs Benedict and I really didn't like it. Sauce was slightly gritty and way too much of it, it was poured all over. Not much flavor and made everything soggy. I'm sure other food is good but I wouldn't order this again. read more

Owner wasn't concerned about food quality or service. If you lead by example you can't expect a whole lot. Server wasn't attentive, no checking back to our table, not once. Ice tea taste like coffee grounds. Biscuits were heavy and doughy, lettuce was rusted. Burger Bun was over grilled and served dry. No condiments were offered. Prices don't reflect food quality or service. Patronize at your own risk!!! read more

They have excellent service, their staff work nonstop, and attend your table every five minutes. The food has great presentation, and most importantly, it tastes great. The steak and eggs were perfect. Country fried steak was also great. And the ham and eggs were also perfect. read more

First time at this location, excellent service, food and atmosphere, will definitely be back

Thought we'd try again today. Female server working today at around 10:00, short, olive complexion, dark hair, was rude and had an attitude problem while taking my order. Perhaps she woke up on the wrong side of the bed but don't take it out on customers. Walked out and went across the parking lot to Esmeralda for breakfast. Esmeralda employees are ALWAYS warm, welcoming, and genuine. Bottom line- food here is ok, a little better than Denny's but service sucks! read more

Drove up from Modesto to give this place a try. I saw lots of beautiful pictures of all the different dishes. I've never been here before so this was my first time. I ordered the country skillet as seen in some of the pictures. However mine did not come on a skillet. At Best, this is what I call mediocre cafeteria food. The biscuits and gravy did not have the flavor that you would expect. The potatoes that's another story. The sausage taste is it been frozen and quickly thawed out. The portion sizes are fabulous! They are huge! No complaints there. The server did not come to ask me how things were with my meal. They didn't offer to refill my coffee until I was done eating. The place was not packed at all. I was so disappointed. I look at pictures first before I go places that gives me an idea of having a good culinary experience. When I go to a place, I want to leave four or five stars. I understand that this is peoples livelihoods. Customer service is huge as is providing good quality food. read more

Food is good, service has suffered over time. The manager needs to motivate servers to focus on the customer and not give the feeling "customers are lucky to be waited on". We understand the impact of COVID but it is time to function as a restaurant focused on quality and service. read more

One of the newest spots I've tried. Decided to venture out and find a good brunch spot and came across this hidden gem. The service is excellent and they are taking great precautions for Covid. Everything I've tried here is amazing so anything that sounds good you should try. Haven't been disappointed here and the portions are great. One of my go to brunch spots from now on. read more

We were in Ripon for my son's soccer tournament and had a free morning to grab some breakfast. I Yelped (of course) and found this place. Yay!!! We were seated quickly and our beverages were brought out to us just as fast. Between all of us we ordered a hamburger and fries, pancakes, an omelette, and french toast. OMG. OMG.OMG. Everything, and I mean everything was delicious. Wish we lived closer but we'll leave this breakfast gem as a yearly treat when we're here for soccer. Lucky those who live in Ripon! read more
