We hadn't eaten at the Dublin Skillet in over 30 years. The restaurant was clean and bright. The service was good. Our waitress brought us water quickly and gave us time to peruse the menu. Our food was delivered quickly and she checked back to see how we were doing. I had the fish and chips. The fish batter was crispy and the fish was moist and flakey. There was a large portion of crinkle cut fries and sautéed vegetables. It included a salad which was made with fresh iceberg lettuce, chunks of carrots and a couple slices of tomato. The portion size was more than enough for me. My husband had the patty melt. The burger was juicy. It was topped with grilled onions and America cheese. It also had a generous portion of fries. Hopefully we will be back in less than 30 years. read more

More home-y feeling than an IHOP, but similar types of offerings. Large list of omelet options, breakfast skillets, waffles, and eggs. Attentive service, friendly, and even during a busy Sunday morning, our food came out quickly. Large portions, crispy bacon and hashbrowns on request. Casual atmosphere, small booths and ones that can accommodate large parties read more

Excellent and quick service, about the best biscuits and gravy I've had locally- the gravy was a bit watery, but the biscuits were great, sausage patties were okay and egg was cooked perfectly. Haven't been here since they changed names, but I'm sure I'll be back. Oh, and I ALMOST dined and dashed!! New pay app, didn't complete transaction even though I heard a 'ding'. Cashier stopped me in the lot- MY BAD! read more

Dublin Skillet Restaurant - Biscuits and gravy, sausage and over easy egg - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Dublin, California

This is a nice little old school diner. No muss no fuss. We got the chicken fried steak and eggs and corned beef hash. You can tell this was previously frozen or out of a can, which was expected. Prices were fair for the portion sizes, except beverages were all like 5 bucks, for a coffee or a soda. Waitress was nice but wasn't around much and it was pretty empty. They offer dinner menu items but close at 2, thought that was a bit odd. Food tasted pretty good though for what it was. read more

Dublin Skillet Restaurant - This is the original Copper Skillet breakfast, excellent (name recently changed) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Dublin, California

My first time here. I was sort of craving chicken fried steak. I usually like to try the gravy first but I thought I would just go right in and get the steak itself. Not really very good. Taste like a Frozen steak you get at the 99 cent store. Kind of grizzly. Batter was okay. The steak itself was not very appetizing. I should have got the bacon and eggs. I ended up asking for two strips of bacon which were adequate but not as good as I expected. I don't know how you screw up bacon but I guess you can Potatoes were okay in fact they were actually pretty good so are the eggs the toast was nice. Coffee was good. Service and waitress was very friendly very professional. I just didn't care for the steak. Place seem pretty popular. The parking lot was crowded. It must be regulars there a lot. Prices were all right as far as everything else is concerned. Almost $30 for breakfast. But that's typical now isn't it. read more

For breakfast, I tend to get a fairly heavy meal which usually country fried steak with plenty of gravy. Seeing the menu that includes country steak and waffle, I get savory and sweet. So that a compelling dish to try. Literally, I had no idea, it was simply, two separate dishes that came as is. One place with the country fried steak and another with a large waffle with butter and syrup. No more, no less. They looked lonely on the two plates. The country fried steak tasted as it should. Whereas the waffle was perfectly formed but lacked the crunchy crispness of a waffle. It was on the soft side. I liked the combination but overall felt it lacked the presentation and the waffle needed the crunch although the butter and syrup would eventually soften it. I would try a different breakfast dish next time or stick with the usual country fried steak with eggs and hash browns. Service was good. read more

Sorry but I'm done with Dublin Skillet. My family and I would come here on a semi regular basis and I'm just tired of getting nickeled and dimed. When you think omelet, you would assume that it automatically comes with cheese right? NOPE, its an $2.40 add on for a slice of cheese. Make sure you review your check before paying and if you're paying by credit card, they tack on an additional 4% for processing. Yes, I understand its expensive to run a business but price your dishes accordingly where your customer leave feeling charged for every little thing. Please train your wait staff to inform your customers that the omelets do not come with cheese and will cost an additional $2.40. Country waffles down the street includes cheese in their omelets (with out an up charge) and its about $2 cheaper for the dish and just as good if not better! Skip Dublin Skillet, there are better options with in a 1 mile radius. read more

Overall a solid 4.5 out of 5, rounded up to 5. Slight knock on the seating accommodations due to my mom being in a wheelchair. Was able to seat my mom and her wheelchair in one of the booths, but it was alittle awkward getting in to seat myself afterwards. The waitress was very friendly and polite and soft spoken. The menu has an about the same general feel and look versus its copper skillet days, the one things that I didn't see at least for this first visit was the breakfast burrito. The prices are surprisingly decent and within range of today's prices when compared to other similar places or offers. I dare say that they might have a bigger proportion when compared to its price point versus other restaurants. For me, I order the gold special since they did have sugar free syrup and I was in the mood for some pancakes. The pancakes were very bountiful and by the time I was hitting the fourth pancakes, I was actually getting sort of full. By the 6th I was done and my craving for pancakes was fulfilled. The eggs were cooked to order and the bacon was crispy enough. For my mom, I ordered her the biscuit and gravy, the biscuits were decent size, black bear has a much bigger version, but the gravy was spot on. And their sausage patty was very good and flavorful. Anyways, look forward to stopping by every so often to try their other offerings. read more

Awesome server and fast service! Friendly staff. Chicken fried steak was bland, everything was great breakfast! Pineapple Mimosa was huge and delicious, so refreshing!

My son took me to this restaurant Sunday morning for our first time. Not being from Dublin decided to try it out for breakfast. We were the 7th customer since opening that Sunday morning and by the time we finished the place had very few vacant tables. He ordered an omelet, rye bread and a side of pork sausage; I ordered the eggs benedict with coffee. While waiting for our food I took a sip of the coffee and told my son if the food is like their coffee, it is going to be good. I am accused of being a bit of a coffee snob and nothing turns me off than a poor cup of coffee. The coffee was dark and delicious. Then our food arrived, hot and delicious. The portions were large, enough for two meals, and the food did not disappoint!! Not only was the restaurant clean, but the staff very courteous and attentive checking on not only us, but the other customers as well. AND they kept my coffee flowing!! When you find a gem like Dublin Skillet you want to acknowledge it. Keep the food good, the great staff and that coffee, we will definitely return when in Dublin. read more

The food is great. Some special requests were accommodated. Great options especially for breakfast. The staff is welcoming and kind. We ended up staying later than closing and not realizing but they never once pushed us out. They patiently waited for us to finish. The ambiance is a cute quaint restaurant feel, intimate but also very kid-friendly. It is under-rated in my opinion. read more

Food and service need improvement. We have family over for the holidays! We wanted to find a delicious breakfast spot to go to with our family. We found Dublin Skillet through Google. Photos of the food looked so good and we were so excited to eat! We ordered the waffle and chicken strips, French dip sandwich, turkey club sandwich, eggs benadict, and country fried steak with country potatoes. We were highly dissatisfied. The French dip didn't have any condiments or melted cheese, the beef was highly proceed deli meat. It was disgusting. The turkey club was good. The waffles were hard and didn't taste right. The eggs benedict (cold was hard like a hard boiled egg). The country potatoes had no flavor and were also a bit tough. Despite the quality of the food, we were still trying to enjoy our breakfast and company of family. We weren't being rude or extremely loud, yet a waitress came over and told us to be quiet because there were other guests. We found this strange but respected her wishes, both neighboring tables made comments that we weren't loud at all and that that was rude of the waitress. The ambiance was meh! As we came in, there were 2 waitresses at the front, not one smiled or greeted us. I had to make contact first. There were also flies flying around the restaurant. We won't be returning. read more

Two stars because the service was good and the staff were all very friendly. Unfortunately that's where it ends. Everything was very greasy. The hash browns so much so they weren't edible. To top it off it was $64. before tip, for three people to eat basic breakfast. I really wanted to love this place but unfortunately you can't have high prices and bad food. read more

I was in the area doing my laundry at Ducky Wash and Dry and got hungry after I was done. I always drive by this place and yesterday decided to try it out. I wasn't planning on dining in, but after reading reviews and seeing pictures, I wanted to see if the reviews are indicative of the service and food quality. And, I wanted to see my food on a big skillet. When walking in, you'll find a homey and comfy atmosphere, and a welcoming server. I ordered the chicken fried steak dish that is served on a skillet, probably to provide room for the big portions. It comes with the chicken fried steak, 3 eggs done in your choosing, country potatoes (cubed potatoes), and your choice of toast (I chose sourdough toast). I felt more than satisfied during and after the meal and do recommend eating at Dublin Skillet. read more

This is now the Dublin Skillet I have been coming here for years when it was the Copper Skillet. I have given it a try several times since the change and it just doesn't have the same attributes that kept me coming back for all this time. 2 things in particular. Atmosphere is no longer a homey country kitchen feel it now feels cold and systematic with rushed service and 2 overworked waitresses( one of which said she was the owner) Portions, a big favorite was the portion size and how the meal came in particular I always order the fried chicken meal or the steak ..which come with super salad toast, mashed potatoes and vegetables and you can sub things around if you choose I.e fries instead of potatoes) the meal now comes with all items minus the bread price point is still the same $20 but the actual size of the items is significantly smaller and the salad had many pieces of wilted lettuce and stay away from the bleu cheese dressing. At this point Dennys is a better option, I won't return. read more

Horrible service . I've never in my whole life have experienced what I did today . Took one bite of my food and waited for 20 minutes for orange juice , she walked by me 3 times asking why I wasn't eating and I said I am waiting for OJ . I finally said can I have the check and she did why didn't you eat ? She brought the check actually and charged me for the whole meal which I took one bite of and she never apologized . By the way she said she didn't charge me for the orange juice . By the way there was 2 people in restaurant she was not busy at all read more

Until earlier this year this was part of the Copper Skillet family, a small chain of eateries that didn't feel like a chain. As Copper Skillet I've dined in Dublin many times. In the last two years I've met with my friend Rick at the Martinez location. Very difficult ambience but the same very good quality of food and service. Several weeks after the Dublin location was sold a friend and I went there for a late breakfast, early lunch. It still said Copper Skillet but the menu was different...the people working were different and it was evident this restaurant had changed hands. At the end of the meal we just didn't have the same satisfying feeling as with visits aup to a couple years before. I don't see myself returning to the now 'Dublin Skillet' any time soon... or later. read more

Dublin Skillet Restaurant - Chorizo plate and steak and eggs plate - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Dublin, California

I have passed this place many times and have gone into a few of the businesses in this plaza but have overlooked Dublin Skillet, most likely because the place is more of a breakfast spot and closes early. My daughter and I had breakfast here and it is cozy inside with large U booths and smaller tables that sat 2. The coffee wasn't great, however I do enjoy diner coffee in that white mug and will drink it. I had eggs with a meat patty and toast. My daughter had a Belgian waffle. It was kind of expensive - $36 for both items and my coffee. Service was great and attentive but it seemed like what we got and the price we paid sort of didn't match. I would still come back and try other entrees. read more

Food and service were disappointing during our visit to Dublin, Ca this past weekend. In addition to the mediocre food and poor service, the prices were outrageously high. The old copper skillet with previous owners was much better on food quality , price and customer service. I grew up in Dublin and have been going to this restaurant since the Early 80's. Sad to see it go go down hill!!! read more

Father's Day breakfast with my parents and sister. I opted for ham and cheese scramble, crispy hash browns and wheat toast extra butter. Excellent meal, huge serving, ample leftover for the following day. Mom had Kaihlee's scramble, dad had eggs and sausage links, sister had bacon and eggs with fruit. We also got a Belgium waffle to share. All generous portions, fresh food. Excellent table service, prompt and attentive staff members. Place has newer owners, interior looks like fresh paint and the place is clean including bathrooms, Food is consistent with the 20+ times I've eaten here, very good! Great customer service. read more

I've been here many times and the food and service are always good Here are some notes on the food... Breakfast Notes: Cornbeef with eggs, and a side order of biscuit and gravy. Both were great! The cornbeef was from the can, but I like the can version, I guess it brings me back to when mom made it. I love pouring the green Tabasco on the eggs and cornbeef, it seems to be tangier than original red. Chicken fried Steak Breakfast Special (2 eggs, hashbrowns, toast) Everything was awesome! The chicken fried steak was the right size, not too large, the right amount of gravey was added to the top, not covering the whole think so some parts stay really crispy. Gravy was really good. Hash browns were crispy on the outside and creaming on the inside, just the right amount of thickness. Eggs Rancho was very good, came with lots of chips and chess like nachos Dinner Notes: Chicken Fried Steak with mash potatoes, country gravy and veggies. Almost as good as Austin's in Incline. Vegi were fresh and gravy was good and creamy Soft roll with whipped butter was really good, nice touch! Jagerschizel, was very good but it was chicken fried steak. not pork. The mushroom gravy was very good. Baked potato was good, came with sour cream and whipped butter. Split pea soup: nothing special, just ok, no big Ham pieces, had to add salt and pepper. About the same a canned soup. Fried Chicken Dinner, nothing special, baked potatoes, nothing special Lunch Notes: Reuben, marble rye, cornbeef, very good Clam chowder, very good, nice and thick read more
