For a truck stop, the food was fantastic. Large portions that reminds you of home. The waitress was also friendly and gave wonderful recommendations read more

I had bookmarked one of these on Indy's north side based on Ken's, Wanda's and Erin's reviews. But this one is located at the I-70 exit if you are going to the Exotic Feline Rescue Center in Centerpoint. We had visited that facility in the morning and we were ready for lunch. I was not prepared for what I thought was just going to be another "truck stop" restaurant. I don't know if all Iron Skillet's are this way but this one had a an awesome salad bar. So I ordered a one trip deal to complement my meal and regretted not getting the all you can eat because they also had a lot of other hot food buffet style that I could have easily filled up on. Plus there were small dessert options so you try different ones. The salad bar section had way more choices that what I am used to. The decor was updated and not worn out. The servers very friendly and helpful. So now I'm a new fan of Iron Skillet, particularly this one. read more

Ordered Nachos; restaurant was not very busy; took 30 minutes to receive the meal: arrived cold.

Staff were arguing food was cold dude was it like you we asked for staff not very friendly place is dirty and dusty.

The food is good, hashbrowns were super crispy which i liked. Chocolate milk was mix which isn't to good. sanitary wise it's about an 8/10 not to bad especially since the building seems older it's just dusty. great spot for truckers or travelers. service was quick, waitress was kind read more

I've never been impressed with the Iron Skillet. The food is always cold, no matter what you get or what time you come in. We decided to use the 25% off coupon we got in the mail. My husband ordered steak and eggs. I ordered an omelette and grits. Our total was $30 (before the coupon). All of our food was cold. My husband's steak was bloody. My omelette was really good... but it didn't have cheese in it. The server was very friendly. Just a warning to those who decide to eat here. read more

Over priced and service was horrible. Food was not good. Lame buffet. Seems like they hate being here.

My husband and I were traveling for work, necessary as truck drivers. We have learned that Iron Skillet is one of the better travel center chain restaurants. We pulled into this Petro in Brazil and went into the Iron Skillet. This was a visit that didn't disappoint. I had the chicken fried steak, it was accompanied by real mashed potatoes. The gravy was tasty. All of this along with the usually well turned out salad bar. My husband had the chicken fingers, he said the breading was excellent, light and not greasy. The waitress and hostess were both helpful and friendly! We are becoming frequent Skillet fliers, lol. Highly recommend the Brazil, IN location. read more

So far so good, the salad bar is limited but they have what I always get! The waitstaff are very lazy just like the lady who's supposed to be working the fuel desk, only problem is she and they will disappear for 10 to 20 minutes at a time not to be found anywhere! Found the fuel desk lady outside smoking, saw her peeking inside the window while I stood at the fuel desk before coming to the restaurant. The restaurant looks nice and clean, had to wait to get in, gaggle of waitstaff standing in the entrance talking to off duty waitstaff as they ate. read more

The food was amazing! Love the small town environment and how the waitresses don't over do it like most other restaurants. Very good food, normal acting but friendly staff, and hearty helpings at a good price read more

False advertisement for specials just to attract you in then give you a smaller amount. All the signage says King Size buy one for $1 get one free but was only allowed to buy regular size for a $1 and had to .49 in tax rip off read more

This restaurant has decent food quality is average prices are a little high. To me they are not the cleanest restaurant. They have good sweet tea. They have a good breakfast buffet. The regular buffet is good depending on the day you go. The Service is good. read more

Crap service...just waited at the counter to order my dinner and was simply ignored several times..another person who came in 5 minutes after me was given a menu and treated with Courtesy....I wonder why?..never mind I had been sitting for 10 minutes with a menu in my hand...bad service..will try the Family Table Restaurant across the street... read more

Carrots were a little mushy but the flavor was really good. The fish tasted great too but was kind of chewy. I attribute the textures being off due to my getting there late in the lunch rush. The freshly cooked chicken was perfect. Good food. Good service. A keeper. read more

Iron Skillet - Buffet offerings - American Near Me - Brazil, Indiana

First off it always fascinates me that when I get on these websites that many of the people on these websites just can't be pleased. Those are the ones that I just want to say stay home and cook for yourself. Now for my review of this establishment. It has always been clean every time that we have been in there. They do have a buffet that I feel is a bit overpriced for what is offered. The staff is not always the friendliest but then I think of what they have to deal with on a daily basis. Truckers these ladies are not your date and they are not there to be objectified by you. They are just trying to make a living here. Leave them alone. Now let me tell you what is awesome about this place. We get the same thing every time we go here. The hand breaded chicken tenders with the crinkle cut french fries. Always made to order and arrive at the table piping hot. The ranch they have I am not sure if it is homemade or not but it is delicious. You can get the basket which comes with 6 tenders, fries and garlic toast for $7.89 which is a great price or you can pay a couple dollars more and get a trip to the soup/salad bar with the meal. They have a pretty decent salad bar if you are one who likes salads. Last night we went and they were out of both of the main desserts which was depressing but maybe it was a sign that I didn't need it. Make sure you try the hand breaded chicken tenders you can't go wrong with them!! Pepsi products is always bonus points with me!! I will post a few pics shortly. We love this place and we live 16 miles away and still make the drive at least once a week. read more

I have to say the salad bar was the best, it had blueberries, strawberries and cantaloupe. The plates are either cold or warm, only thing they didnt have at the all you can eat salad bar was soft serve ice cream. Staff seemed really friendly, especially the one with the fake tan. read more

Truck stop cuisine....nuff said. 99% of Iron Skillets are the same. Get their food from the same vendors, prepared by SOP (standard operating procedures)....flavorless. read more

I didn't expect the food to taste good at the Iron Skillet, we have one of these back home in CA but never really tried it. I snagged the veggie omelette with hash browns instead of the country potatoes (server said they don't taste good) along with sour dough bread. The entire meal was delicious! Our server was kind and attentive, while I did find something gross I my drink, it did not ruin my experience here. read more

Iron Skillet - Veggie omelette with sour dough bread. - American Near Me - Brazil, Indiana

Well I'll start with the waitress, ok some what friendly. Now the food, Flys blowing all over the buffet, and salad bar. I order beef brisket tacos combo. The meat has no seasoning, taco shells were very grease, and the Spanish rice had no favor all. I think they should stick to what they do best. Getting hard to find a decent meal theses days. One more truck stop off my list to eat at. read more

Food is okay depends on who's cooking. Waitress staff is same way depends on who you get. But again don't trust the hours get there before 9:45 or your not eating and after 9:30 they will hurry you. read more

I'm a Canadian long-haul truck driver and most times on the road you don't get to eat healthy. Whenever I see an Iron Skillet close by I'll go there for a meal. They always have fresh salad and usually a tasty main or two. The ladies at this one were very nice and I had a pleasant meal. read more

The restaurant was so pretty. We stopped in to grab a bite to eat and I just have to say how amazing my waitress Kristy was. She was so helpful and was always there right when we needed her. Me and my husband have met many waitresses traveling but she had went above and beyond. She even left a cute sticker on our ticket. Will be returning next time we pass through read more

Found inside Petro Truck Stops, they have a variety of food to choose from. Good idea when youre on a long road trip like I usually am. Found this one while driving cross country. read more

I ordered the sirloin and couldn't eat it due to quality of meat. Server was very polite and tried to make me happy, but there was nothing on the salad bar that was worth eating. I guess the price was okay, $15 for me and my kid. Next time I will go down the road and try the other truck stop buffet. read more

Amazing breakfast in the middle of the afternoon for supper. Super great meal and super friendly staff :)

The service is kind of slow, and the food is good, however their are limited on their kids menu for the children, I cannot say whether or not I recommend this restaurant. read more

Reading the other reviews, maybe I just caught it on a bad night and close to closing (9:30pm). We ordered Chicken Fried Steak (CFS) for myself and Spaghetti for my wife. The CFS was huge and good. The Spaghetti not so. In fact, my wife slid the plate away after taking only one bite. I told her she should have brought the quality to the attention of the waitress, but she was reluctant to. She just compensated by taking advantage of the fruit/salad bar. My disappointment; however, was with the waitress (Lisa). For whatever reason she seemed to be in a very terse mood with multiple other customers, and her demeanor with us was anything but pleasant. She definitely had a difficult night from her tone of voice in all interactions. Hopefully, this was an exception. But, to the kitchen staff...may want to look into your pasta quality/taste. The Spaghetti just seemed so soggy as if it's been sitting in water for hours and hours. read more

Very friendly staff, the restaurant was very clean. We arrived for the breakfast buffet, which the waitress came and told us they were removing the breakfast and adding the lunch, and if we wanted another trip to the buffet for breakfast, or go for the lunch buffet, so we all had breakfast and lunch buffet for the price of the breakfast buffet, very good timing on our part. read more

Good food on the buffet. The selection is not the most vast, but the quality is better than average. For $12.99 per adult I felt like it was a good value. The atmosphere isnt the greatest, but you get a decent meal at a fair price. read more

We ordered the cinnamon roll French Toast, apparently they were out of it but they took it upon themselves to make their own substitute and serve it to us without us knowing. After asking if it was what we ordered (after eating some of it), the response was "I'll be honest, no it wasn't what you ordered, we tried to make something close." Pretty sure this is a heavy duty health violation! Scary. read more

If your going to splurge, I would recommend the iron skillet,. Their food there is amazing, their burgers are really tasty and have loads of flavor. Sometimes they can be really crowded and serve small portions but overall I would recommend this restaurant. read more

Got there at 10 am for the breakfast buffet and was told it closed at 11 am. After getting my children's plates, we were told that they're closing in 10 minutes and we needed to hurry up and get our food. All four members of our family (including a 2 year old) were asked 3 times to hurry up and get our food, which left us no room on the table. The food was good, but the morning staff could use some etiquette training. read more

my neighbor told me about this place and said they have a buffet . so we went on Christmas day to check it out, although a bit pricey we found it clean, friendly and inviting. the buffet was very fresh, and we'll stocked and tasteful. the employees were both helpful and friendly. I only gave it four stars because of the price. I do think however it was a great choice as we didn't have to cook nor clean up afterwards. I will return in the future to see what their normal buffet is like and am glad I was told about the iron skillet that not only offers a buffet ,but as well a menu to choose from. read more
