Egg white omelette was slimy and wet. In addition, it was way too SALTY. I couldn't even taste the egg. There was so much salt I didn't even finish it. The other person I was with also had an omelette with the same problem. I like that they carry local raised meats but they charged $50. For 1 egg white omelette with nothing else, 1 egg white omelette with cheese, and 3 local small breakfast sausages. Crazy.

Cinnamon roll and biscuits & gravy. Both were delicious!

Small but cute little brunch spot. You order everything through your phone or their iPad kiosk. I got the cinnamon roll with extra icing, as well as the biscuits & gravy. Both were delicious especially the biscuits & gravy.

I've been wanting to try this restaurant for a while now. And I finally made the time to do so. I didn't realize how small it was until I walked it. It was a quiet quaint restaurant. I ordered the bacon egg and cheese sandwich, with a side of hash browns . The sandwich was huge . It was pretty tasty. Also I ordered the oatmeal pie latte (cold) which was phenomenal. And I ordered the cheese blintzes which was tasty! I thought the overall experience was okay. I would rate the place at least a solid 7. I definitely would go back to try more menu options. The service was pretty good. Our waitress was very nice and attentive.

Skillet has been on our list of brunch places to try for quite some time. We finally gave it a go, and had heard that there is usually a wait because the inside is rather small. Well, that is a bit of an understatement -- the inside is very crammed, and there's only about 5 tables. They do have a tiny bar area, but they weren't letting any parties sit there. The wait time was only about 25 minutes when we went. They don't take call aheads or reservations -- just check in on an iPad when you arrive to join the waitlist. They have a rotating menu, and it's quite small -- not like your typical brunch place. They don't have physical menus, so make sure your phone is charged so you can scan the QR code. The online menu is a little goofy on the phone browser because you have to click on each item to read the description, then go back to the home page and select again. The prices are also quite a bit higher than you'll find at most places, which fits with the niche farm to table theme. But $5 for a simple cup of coffee? Hmmm. I guess they have to make up for only being open 3 days a week. We started with cheese blintz for the table -- crepes filled with sheep's milk ricotta and crème Anglaise, topped with blackberries. These were the (only) star of the show and definitely would recommend trying them. My SO tried the biscuits & gravy, touted on the menu as blackened chicken breasts in a peppery veloute over a griddled "cat's head" biscuit topped with scrambled eggs. I'm not sure if it was the veloute or what, but the chicken looked like it came straight from a can and should be served to a cat -- maybe that's how they decided on the "cat's head" biscuit? Do not recommend. I tried the farmhouse ranch cheese burger. It's comes with what appeared to be Lay's kettle chips. The ranch cheese was actually really good, but otherwise the burger was average and not worth the $23 price tag. The others at the table both got the breakfast sando, which had scrambled eggs and cheddar on griddled hot cross buns with a maple mustard. Want to add bacon? You can get 3 slices for $10. The service was a bit lackluster, which I didn't quite understand since they serve so few patrons at a given time. For example, we ordered coffees and had cream and sugar. We had no silverware or anything to mix the coffee with. Eventually, we asked for silverware but they didn't bring it out until we got our meals. Also, it was just all around slow. Lastly, the claustrophobic box of a restaurant had such poor air flow and it was so hot that everyone at our table was sweating by the time we got our food. In fact, it actually felt better outside the restaurant than inside. Overall, pretty disappointing experience at Skillet and definitely won't be back. The only thing salvaging this from a 1 star review are the cheese blintz, which I would get again in a heartbeat, but seeing as we won't be back, that doesn't really matter.

Delicious breakfast at this little hole in the wall located in German Village. Focused on fresh ingredients, the menu is constantly changing. Everything we had was delicious and the service was exceptional and friendly.

This is one of the best brunches I have had anywhere. Only open Fri / Sat / Sun from 8:30 - 1:30 on a first come first serve basis, the wait is definitely worth it and my wife and I always make a point to get our "Skillet fix" in whenever we are in town or passing through. Service staff are friendly and extremely well trained. Tiny but incredibly charming dining room. Highly recommend - and if the hamburger is on the menu, don't hesitate! It's one of the best anywhere!

Me enjoying my first time at Skillet

Hubby surprised me with brunch out at Skillet in the German Village on a recent Saturday morning - what a treat! There's no room for waiting in this tiny space, but you can go in to join the online waitlist via QR code. Then, you can walk around the neighborhood or wait in your warm car. The wait seemed to go fairly quickly. Skillet's space is quite small and has a rustic, urban feel with exposed brick and a view through to the kitchen. The amazing aroma of breakfast food permeated the space as well as the surrounding neighborhood for several blocks! My companion and I shared the cheesy potatoes. I was expecting crispy fried potatoes with cheese, but they were fingerlings with no crispy edges to be found. That said, they were delicious - the cheese mixture used was absolutely heavenly. We opted for a fried egg on top - a must-have! Our server told us the portions are generous, and boy was she right. Even with sharing a dish, we still brought some leftovers home. We also shared the Sticky Toffee Pudding cake which was scrumptious. The cake was a bit dry on the outside, but the inside was moist and flavorful. A very nice sweet treat for any time. Overall, we were impressed and will be back! I would love it if there was a way to join the waiting list without having to walk into the restaurant and subject diners to an icy blast of cold air, but spring will be coming again soon!

I was told to Get the Goetta skillet. Why?

Their Goetta is great! Goetta is a Cincinnati specific food. It's made with pork and Steele cut oats and made into a loaf. They slice it and grill it to brown it!

Several reviews talk about their Dinner experience. Have the hours changed staying open later than 2pm?

No they have not changed the hours.

Excellent spot for German flavored brunch. I had the corned beef hash skillet. Perfect meat…read more Taters were a little dry, but mix in the two large sunny side up eggs and it waa great. My wife had a veggie omelet add a bratwurst. So much for veggie. Lol Her omelet waa okay. More like a few eggs, folded over some veggies. Not mixed in. To some, this is a perfectly made omelet. The technique seemed correct, maybe fold the eggs over when they're still wet. Would have made all the difference. The bratwurst was excellent and my mustard hating wife loved the kitchen made mustard. So much so that we brought some home. She also had fresh squeezed OJ. Always a super sweet treat. The service waa excellent and more than made up for the minor challenges. Based on the bratwurst alone, the traditional dinner items have got to be incredible. When we're back that way we'll likely stop there again.

Valters a true and underrated spot in German Village. Really great brunch spot! The patio in warmer…read moremonths is so good. We were regulars here for a long time. Valter and his sister, both from Albania, own the restaurant and rent the building from the German Maennerchor choir. On Thursday nights they practice upstairs and you can hear their singing. Mostly all the food comes from Valters farm on the south side - true farm to table. I haven't been for dinner so I can only speak to their brunch - Get the French toast!!! It is not your typical and it's SO good. I had their eggs and potatoes- excellent Mimosa's are delicious The servers are usually always in good spirits as well as the bartenders. OH! And the desserts in the case, are home made... need I say more.
