    Chili, slaw, and mustard
    John C.

    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

    Part of the interior

    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.

    The place!

    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.

    This is the first time I've been here and I love this place. I was running errands getting ready…read morefor our granddaughter's birthday so I needed to come here and go to the oven by Lyn (see my review). I stopped here because I was hungry and wanted to take a break from all the running around. Plus I could have a cheeseburger and a beer, but of course that had nothing to do with it. There were two gentlemen working at the time both very polite. Asked if I could have chili on a double cheeseburger and I was told I absolutely could and asked what else I wanted. So I got my cheeseburger with fries and a beer. I was the only person in there but it was also a weekday in the middle of the day. They brought my food to me and I got to sit down and enjoy it while watching the Addams family on television. It was pretty relaxing actually. The place is spotless, brightly lit, and the tables have lots of space between them which is really nice. The classic TV was also nice. I'm really glad they didn't have news or sports on. Lurch and Thing are a lot more entertaining. Anytime I'm in this area I'm going to look for a reason to stop here. I highly recommend this place.

This time I decided to keep things a little more Atkins/keto friendly and ordered a grilled chicken salad and a cup of chili. The total came to just over $26, with the salad alone costing almost $17. I understand prices have gone up everywhere. I can accept that. What I can't accept is paying premium prices while the overall experience falls short. The first issue started before I even got inside. The restaurant was packed, and customers were parked all along the curb directly in front of the designated to go pickup area. That completely blocked access. It took me nearly ten minutes of circling the parking lot, backing up near the dumpster, moving again, and eventually squeezing my truck into a parking space (in the "to-go" pick up area where I'm supposed to be anyway) just to pick up my order. When you're that busy, parking becomes part of the customer experience. At some point management needs to step in and help keep traffic moving instead of allowing the pickup area to become unusable (don't tell me I'm wrong because I'll tell you what not only did. I have to navigate that situation due to cars being along the curb in front of the to go area, but two other vehicles that were parked in the to go spaces had nobody in them and I was there for 10 minutes waiting for my food so those people were inside eating in the restaurant I presume-given that I observed their empty vehicles for a total of 20 minutes). To be fair, the employee who brought my order out was excellent. She greeted me with a smile, was friendly, professional, and was easily the brightest part of the entire experience. Then I got home and opened the salad. For $17, this was honestly disappointing. The chicken, bacon, and toppings had simply been simply tossed in there, while the rest was mostly plain, sad looking lettuce. It looked rushed and careless, especially considering the price. The first of several photos are exactly how the salad looked the moment I opened the container on my kitchen counter. I hadn't touched it or moved anything around. The last photo, however, my awesome lady was able to turn that same salad into something amazing in just a couple of minutes. SHE chopped up some pepperoni that we already had in the refrigerator, diced a little Colby Jack cheese, added tomatoes, mixed everything together, and finished it with ranch dressing and a level 10 appearance on the plate. She didn't have to cook anything. She simply took the time to prepare it the way a $17 salad probably should have looked when it left the restaurant. The chili was good, and I'll absolutely give credit where it's due. Drake's still has menu items I enjoy, and I've had plenty of good meals there over the years. But when you're charging premium prices, customers deserve the same level of quality whether the restaurant is half full or packed to the walls. Being busy explains delays. It doesn't excuse lowering the standard. I genuinely hope Drake's takes this as constructive feedback because I know they can do better. I've seen them do better!
