Visited Skid's during COVID time so I placed an order curbside and took lunch to go. The woman who took my order was friendly and the food was ready quickly. The menu is large but I knew what I was there for. I ordered a hot dog with chili, slaw, and mustard and an order of tater tots. The hot dog was good the chili was a little sweet which I liked. The tater tots were great. Very crispy. All in all, very good. I look forward to returning. It's an easy visit off the highway for those passing through Burlington on 40.
It was pretty confusing. I went up the counter and told them I was dining in and wanted to see the menu. There's one old one taped to the pay table. Several minutes later I'm told to take a seat and someone would take my order. Several minutes pass and I see all sorts of people passing by. None said a word to me. Then a lady asks if I'm waiting to pick up and I told her I was dining in. The menu itself is pretty basic. I def misread some things. I told her I wanted a cheese steak and she said they have cheese steak hoagies. I also ordered a plain burger. Can't expect much for $2.35 so I was going with the flow to see if the specialty burgers would be worth ordering. The food came and I was not impressed. I got a very tiny burger and a pretty basic store-bought bun. The cheese steak was a smash burger with American cheese. It was not a classic cheesesteak but a steakish burger with cheese. It came with a plate full of fries. Everything came out pretty lukewarm and without any type of seasoning so I doused my food in catch-up and hot sauce. I was starving this point, so I ate when I could and pretty much left the buns. The tea was super strong. I would go for a soda next time. I got unsweetened, so it seemed more like an afterthought drink than something freshly prepared. I was not expecting a lot based on the prices, but it's not anywhere I would go again. Service was pretty much not there. The server spent more time with other customers. I did not even get as much as a smile from her. It was hard to distinguish, who was working and who was a customer because everyone was walking back-and-forth. The man at the register seemed friendly enough. Not once was I asked how the meal was. I don't think I would go back. There was nothing special about the food or ambiance. Had the service been good then I might have tried again. The place wasn't exactly clean but it wasn't terrible. People were standing are around and could have tied it up in between customers instead of playing on their phones. The ice machine had a big sign on it that said keep closed, but it was open right by a door. You can see the ice melting. Not a place for me. The search for a good cheesesteak and burger continues
This place has been around forever, it seems, started by the Skidmore Family back in the 50's, I guess. Nothing fancy here, just a Hot Dog/Hamburger joint with a few plates, a variety of sandwiches, salads, and even Spaghetti. The interior is worn and tired looking, but the place is clean. I'd stick to the sandwiches - they are generally good, generally a nice value. The Cheeseburger ($2.20) is a very good cafe style burger, meaning it is smaller than some burger. The taste of the one here is nice. The Hot Dog is really, really good here, and a real bargin at $1.69. This is a classic Southern Chili Dog, with a red weiner, great tasting chili, and a gooey bun. The Chopped BBQ Sandwich ($3.50) is nice, though definitely not cooked in house. It probably is Hursey BBQ's commercial product - ironic, since Hursey's Restaurant is right across th street, literally. The Fish Sandwich ($2.99) is not a memorable taste of the ocean,and I'd pass. Most of their sandwches are offered in a basket, which simply adds FFs. I'd pass on those as well, they are pretty bad. The single Hot Dog Basket goes for $2.69, which means you're paying a $1 for some really bad fries. The Grilled Cheese ($1.95) is good, but then again, it is hard to screw that sandwich up. We'll stop in again.
3 ate for $29.72 before tip. The "Skids Special Cheeseburger" plate ALL THE WAY is what you need to order. Great service and we all left stuffed.
2 dog All the Way (ATW) basket today which is all I come here for. The dogs are red and and the toppings are appropriate and as expected. They are portioned just right not to make a mess. The bun is very softy (steamed) and the slaw has a little sweetness to it that goes well with the bite of the onions. The Pepsi is served on the crumbled style ice which is best to me over cubes (wow, I reviewed on ice ) in styrofoam cups :( I am a fan of crinkle cut fries since my parents raised me in a bowling alley. But I have to say that these fries are pretty crappy; meaty, yes as they should be, but mushy as they should not be. I load them with ketchup to ease the pain. I think it's $6 well spent. The decor is dated, in this case that's cool. Some music instead of the 19" tv filling my ear with talk shows would be much better. This is a place that I like even with its shortcomings. I will always come back.

We have to frequent this location and go out of our way to eat at this specific one. When you walk into the building, it is extremely small and sometimes we need to wait for a table if we come during a busy lunchtime so I always try to get there a little before 12 o'clock to make sure that we have our favorite Boothe on the left-hand side. We will only eat on the left-hand side as that is our favorite waiter most of the time he is there during the day and honestly just knows what we want what we're going to order what we drink and what sauces we want with our food. Sometimes the waiter is hoping in the kitchen so we have to have a different waitress And that's OK. As long as he is there I know we are gonna have a great experience. The food is always good and my son absolutely has to order the mozzarella cheese sticks every time we go for the epic cheese pulls!! The reason why I gave this location three stars is because of the appearance of the building itself, and it is very old very outdated and a lot of things are very sticky and dirty. The bathroom is outside and the location of pulling in and out of this parking lot is not ideal. Besides those minor things if you're not looking for pretty this is your place to go good quick fast, yummy food and service. There's no doubt you won't be back if you try them. read more

A great "mom and pop" establishment that has been around for over 30 years. This place has a great local community environment, it keeps things simple and runs like a finely tuned engine. The staff works together like family and the customers that I observed, seemed to really appreciate that. The menu is outstanding and reflects prices from the "80's". The food is made with quality, care and precision, who could ask for more... read more
