Changes the menu everyday?! This quaint but very pleasing restaurant offered us a nice breakfast this morning. Wondering how well they do on a daily basis, I was impressed with my biscuits and gravy and the French toast. The French toast was plentiful big and fluffy paired with a whipped butter and maple syrup. The biscuits were just as big in size and I'm glad I settled with only one instead of two! The chicken gravy was so flavorful and had a beautiful color. Seriously delicious. All of it! The cinnamon roll coffee was not to sweet but also not over bearing in coffee or espresso taste, just executed nicely. I love I got to see them purchasing local, they have an Amish van pull up front with a delivery of their fresh quality ingredients like eggs and bread! I have to return soon to try more dishes, I'm impressed.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
Location; Trip to Ohio, I was told to try this place it is small and cozy, with limited seating. No large parties, make sure to put your name early may be a wait. On this trip just had a small wait. Only reason received the rating as once we were seated, we were informed the ordered system crashed and we needed to order on the to-go app, which make sure you order everything you want initially it was a bit hectic with the ordering system. Food; the food was really delicious, for this I will go back to try again. Once we sat we were asked if we wanted anything to drink, we both ordered coffee with cream and sugar, we did get the coffee swiftly which was really good along with the cream, but no sugar or anything to stir it with. We tried to get someone's attention for some sugar and a stir stick sadly. The food; I ordered the Cheese Blintz, a small order and it was delicious so yummy with a side of bacon which was crisp and heavenly. Who I was with ordered the Biscuit & Gravy, holy goodness it had the best taste with a spicy sausage gravy that was so good. Aduly Beverage, I did order the Watermelon Rise, the food came out and still had not received my beverage I did ask if I paid since now I am confused with ordering online which I did order. The Watermelon Rise, which if maybe received prior to the meal it would have been better, but sadly was disappointed and could not taste any Tequila I am thinking mistake and it was just watermelon juice. Service; Everyone was super friendly, just seemed a bit hectic from the servers and kitchen.

I have been trying to get in this place for ages! I'm happy to report that I was finally able to see what the hype was about , and on my birthday weekend!! Woot woot! The place is quaint and cozy. The food was amazing! I enjoy local spots, and Farm to table places have come to be my fave. Oh how deprived I've been all these years of eating quick meals! You can appreciate the fresh veggies, herbs, and fruits. My go to at many eateries is shrimp and grits, if they have it on the menu...and they did! But, the shrimp comes shelled (thank you to the server for the heads up). Although I enjoy playing with my food as much as the next person, I didn't want to risk it. I ordered the hash instead. That hash? Oh you HASH to try it! It was maybe in the top 5 of the best I've had...and I've HASHED a lot in my day. If you are in the area, and have a couple of hours to spare, you definitely have to try this local gem. I say a couple of hours because you'll most likely have to wait. Trust me, it's worth it! Did I mention they change the menu daily? Never the same place twice! read more

A very cozy, clean restaurant/cafe in heart of German Village to sit and enjoy good food. We had our brunch there during covid- despite our own fear we had to but inside as there is not outdoor sitting but the two waiters were very health conscious- and that put us in peace. The food was very delicious and the coffee amazing. They have an in house hot sauce made with Chilli that was just perfect read more

Best.Omelette.Ever. While in Columbus, do Skillet. When we pulled up, we were met with a bunch of people waiting outside. We were told 6 parties were in front of us but not quoted a time. We decided to grin & bear it - And I'm so glad we grizzlied it out! We ended up waiting about 45 minutes for our table but Skillet has Cafe Brioso coffee outside for patrons waiting. I don't know I have ever seen a restaurant do something of this nature and it was such a sweet, much appreciated extra touch. Just one example of Skillet going the extra mile in customer satisfaction! The only thing to keep in mind is you will be waiting outside, so heed with caution depending on the weather. Once we were called and walked in, I could see why the wait builds up as Skillet is a fairly small spot. Maybe about 15 tables? It's a packed small space but you don't feel like you are smashed with strangers or anything of that nature. I found it cozy, welcoming and an overall chill and inviting atmosphere vibe. The food focus is farm to fork which for me is always an appreciated concept. Who would scoff at eating fresh, locally sustainable ingredients and the restaurant they are dining in being friendly with local farms?! I tried the Corned Beef Hash ($14) which was served in a warm skillet and quite tasty. The real winner for me was my Farmstead Cheese Omelette ($12) - Laurel Valley Creamery Harvester, Gruyere, and white cheddar folded into a Copia Farm four egg omelette, topped with some greens. The different cheeses melded so well into each other and the omelette was slathered in butter. On my first cut into the omelette I could quickly see it was the smoothest omelette I'd ever had. I have never had such a perfectly cooked omelette that was so simple yet delicious. I've been daydreaming about the milky egg delight since I had it. As delicious as all the carb heavy starters sounded, I felt a bit better I couldn't eat them (healthy living yo) when I heard most were not baked in house. Service was superb! Our server was personable, funny, seemed to be genuinely happy to be there and attentive. What more could we ask for? Brunch is served Wednesday thru Sunday from 8am to 2pm and it's a must do in Columbus! On the weekend, you're going to wait for a table but it's WELL worth it. Trust. Excellent service, delicious food and overall fabulous experience! read more

2 stars are only because I liked the decor and this little, tiny restaurant is cute. Also our waitress was sweet and helpful. I came here excited to try something delicious and I have been thinking about brunch here for a long time. My bf and I waited outside huddled under the overhang from the rain for almost 30 minutes even though it was 1:30 and they close at 2. The inside is homey, little and just adorable. Like a dining room of a bed and breakfast. The cute/little factor ended up being a dud because the waitress bumped into me almost every time she walked by. It was not her fault, there is barely enough room to turn around. If your are claustrophobic I would not suggest coming here as it is a tight fit. We got the cheesy omelet with pea shoots, chicken with biscuits and gravy and the maple sausage. All were subpar. The cheesy omelette was not "fluffy" and the cheese was kind of gross. Biscuits and gravy was underwhelming with my bf refusing to finish it, the chicken chunks were bland. In addition that meal just looked wildly unappetizing. At the end of all that the bill was over $35.....Honestly I don't even want to go back to see if this place can redeem itself. read more

"Be careful. A little goes a long way..." Our server warned us as she handed my dining companion and me the mega-sized squeeze bottle of Skillet's signature hot sauce. The housemade hot sauce* had a nicely complex, flavorful backbone...and a mere dab of it onto my scrambled eggs was definitely a kick to the head. I would definitely recommend asking for it if you're here for breakfast or brunch. The seasonal farm-to-table menu offers plenty of breakfast entrees, plus many more "brunch" items if you arrive after 11am. For breakfast today I had the tomato pie which had a robust flavor from two types of tomatoes and a delicately flaky and buttery crust. The somewhat small slice of pie came with soft, folded scrambled egg and was topped with lightly dressed arugula. My dining companion had a salmon omelet. I saw a ton of neighboring tables order the biscuits and gravy which was massive. The dining room is tiny (ten tables?), so usually there is quite a wait! *Their popular hot sauce sells for $18 per jug at Skillet. read more
Skillet serves up my favorite breakfast in Columbus. It may actually be one of the best breakfasts i've ever had. While I hate to build up people's expectations and set the bar unrealistically high, I believe Skillet deserves its hype and the food does not disappoint. My buddy and I got there at 9:30AM on Sunday morning. We still waited 10 minutes, so getting there early is a good idea. The restaurant itself is relatively small, with seating for about 20 people. The interior is pretty no frills. It's clean, contemporary and casual without being particularly upscale or ornamental. The waitstaff was quick and attentive. They got our orders in promptly and the food came out just as fast. Our coffees and waters were routinely refilled. I was impressed by the quick turnover and by the efficiency of the staff. We shared a cinnamon crumb cake which was decadent. Crisp on first bite, yet soft and melt in your mouth afterwards. I don't have a huge sweet tooth, but this had the perfect amount of sweetness without being too overbearing. We also shared the Pig and Grits, which happened to be my favorite dish that day. The succulent porchetta, smooth polenta combined with tangy tomato gravy topped with a poached egg was pure perfection. The amount of sour, saltiness and savoriness was just right. This dish pretty much encapsulates my ideal breakfast. If ordered alone, it would be a light but satisfying breakfast. Finally, we each ordered the smoked chicken & andouille gravy and biscuits. In hindsight we should have shared one order, but our male egos refused to share and we ordered one each. The plate was HUGE! It consisted of 2 large biscuits and at least 4-5 scrambled eggs. The biscuits were moist and soft without being soggy from the gravy. The gravy itself was flavorful without being too heavy or salty. The one thing that threw me off was the use of scrambled eggs. The eggs were pillowy soft, but did not add any new textures to the dish. Asking for a runny sunny side or poached egg instead may be an idea. Maybe a smaller portion of eggs would be better or if they served it on the side. However since they were on top of the biscuits, I felt like it took away from the dish. It should be called biscuits, eggs and gravy instead of just biscuits and gravy. Despite being super picky about the scrambled eggs, I loved all the dishes at Skillet. They are popular for a reason and I will definitely be back soon. One of the best breakfasts in Columbus, check this place out! read more
I hate leaving one star reviews, but this was not a great experience for us as we did not have much as far as menu choices went. The menu was very limited and we were not offered any options not on the menu. We went on a Wednesday morning because we both had heard great things about this place and figured a Wednesday was a great day to try it because there wouldn't be the long lines like on the weekends. We got right in and we're shocked at the VERY LIMITED menu. We ended up getting a cinnamon roll and splitting it and my wife got a coffee that ended up being $3.50 alone. Our total bill was almost $12 for a water , coffee and cinnamon roll. Not sure what the Hype is all about if this is their normal menu as the menu we had was VERY LIMITED. Neither of us could find anything on the menu that sounded good to us. We saw several items on the yelp page that looked good to us but when we went none of these items were on the menu we were given. Again we were not told of any "off menu" items that may be available that day. read more
While visiting Columbus, a friend who lives here said if we got brunch with her, we MUST go to Skillet. She called in and put our names down at 11:18am and they said it was an hour to an hour and a half wait for Sunday brunch. Fine, we toured German Village for a bit. At 11:40am they called saying our table will soon be ready so we ventured to the restaurant. The line to get in is quite long but what's nice is the water and free coffee you can help yourself to while waiting. Too bad they never refilled the coffee because during our 20minutes outside, we remained uncaffeinated. The inside is tiny, less than 10 tables for sure, which explains the wait. By the time the waiter came by to take our order, they were already out of three of their main dishes, one of which was the reason for our visit - the hash. SAD. Wanting meat, we got the turkey sausage with eggs and biscuits. It was good, very peppery, and you can taste the quality. We also shared a blueberry scone which was a nice addition. If you come here, come early. read more

I love this place more than I love my mom's home cooking--which is really tough to beat. This place is well deserving of 5 stars. Every little detail is spot on from the moment your Skillet experience begins to the time you leave. I've been a couple of times now and am still loving it, so I thought it about time to rave about it on Yelp and not just to my friends. If you can, get Nathan as your server. He created the most delightful dining experience I have ever had in Columbus. He was kind, funny, prompt with refills, and he was honest. In short, service was top notch. I'd be remised of I didn't mention the coffee cups. I covet a delightful drinking experience. A perfect drinking vessel can make all the difference in the world. Skillet's coffee cups are square like and rather small. When you drink from the mug it hugs your lips and feeds you liquid gold in a heaven-sent experience. Food = 5 stars. I LOVE their biscuits and gravy. They are my everything. It is a subtly spicy dish with deep flavor baked into every bite. They come with scrambled eggs sitting atop fluffy and yet crispy biscuits. The andouille sausage is what gives it a little kick. If you like biscuits and gravy I challenge you to put these against the best biscuits and gravy you have ever had. Yup, that good. I have also had their burger. It's not the best I've ever had, but I would def. order it again. Their sweet potato and sausage omelette is delicious. It was the perfect combination of sweet and salty. The omelette was cooked to perfection. Final note: get the cinnamon roll and share it with someone. It is deliciousness and you will both thank me later. read more
I went to brunch with my cousins a while back, while visiting them in Columbus from Chicago. We gave this place a shot at my cousin's suggestion. I ordered a simple salad. They had beautiful salads on the menu with tons of ingredients but I just wanted something more basic. When I asked our server if I could just get some greens with tomatoes she told me no it was not allowed. I told her I understood it wasn't on the menu and I would pay whatever the cost would be. She told me it wasn't possible because the tomatoes they had were for other dishes. I asked her to ask her Manager or the Chef to see if they could manage my request - which I thought was pretty basic. She came back and begrudgingly said it would be ok. I told her I appreciated it and if they could just slice up a few tomatoes for my greens I would love it. That's when she said the Chef cannot slice the tomatoes because the knives were for other items. OK...WHAT?!?! My cousins and I started laughing and thought we were being pranked. I told told her I'd take whatever I could get. Well... my plate arrived with a few greens and the most gorgeous array of about 25 unsliced tomatoes!! I shared my tomatoes with my family and we all loved them as we laughed our entire brunch. It's been quite a while since this brunch visit and we still laugh about my tomato salad! The bottom line is: The cuisine is fantastic. I might suggest a bit of training on customer service and working with customer requests. read more

Brunch was excellent! My steak and egg (yep, just one) was very tasty and my friend's omelette was delicious (but very rich). My Bloody Mary would have been just ok, but I was given house made hot sauce on the side to put in it and the drink was incredibly tasty after that! The only reason I couldn't give 5 stars was the seating...it is SO tight in there! I mean, hard to walk between tables, no place for your phone or wallet tight. But I'd definitely go back. read more

So this is no ordinary pancakes, bacon and eggs joint. This is a culinary exploration of farm to table fresh food, imaginative talent from the kitchen and the sweetest servers ever! I walked in to friendly faces and smiles needing coffee... and then food. In that order. Scanned the menu and couldn't decide.. Pulled chicken/andouille sausage gravy n biscuits... Berkshire pork loin over cheese jalapeño grits tucked under a soft poached egg... Fresh scones... I could go on and on. I settled on the pork loin over cheddar grits. (See pics below) Sourdough toast and fresh butter/preserves. DELICOUS!!!!! Grand slam! So freaking good! Support this place guys! The staff here is so wonderful. I visit a lot of restaurants coast to coast and this one goes with no hesitation to the top of the pile. Thank you Skillet for a wonderful breakfast experience! read more

Came here after hearing a lot of great reviews and I was actually underwhelmed. The atmosphere is adorable and the staff were friendly and quick, however I didn't find something I loved on the menu. It's my understanding that the menu rotates so I'll be giving it another shot based on the fan frenzy this place has. read more
So, I had to make sure to come back to my previous review. After becoming a repeat customer, I have decided that this place deserves 5 stars. I like it more the more I go. One thing I love the most is how their menu basically changes every day. It makes it there is more variety every time you go. And if you get there too late in the day you risk the chance of them running out of certain items. Which is cool because you know everything must be fresh. They also post their menu everyday so you can see what they are making. Their food is very good, and one of the reasons I like it more every time. Last time I got these cheese potatoes and Pimento cheese omelet. Let me tell you. These were fire. One of the best omelets that I have had in a loooong time. And it was stuffed! And the potatoes had like pockets of cheese throughout. It was just crazy good. I'm sorry I can't remember the exact names of these dishes, but believe me, if you see something similar on the menu, make sure to grab it. The interior also has had an upgrade. They have places a bar inside. Which I would have thought as impossible because of the small size of this place. However, it fits, and I like it. The bartender that was working when I as there, was super friendly and had very good customer service. I gave it 4 stars before because I didn't really like the cinnamon roll and I didn't think the food was spectacular. Also, I came late last time so some items that I wanted were sold out. But after going more and trying more items. I've declared that this place is great. The Food is great, the customer service is great, and I like the environment. I am forced to give it 5 stars like it truly deserves. read more

This place is amazingly delicious! I wish it was closer to cleveland. They are located in Schumacher Place near German Village. This place is small but has a super cute and hipster vibe. They promote farm to table comfort classics. 110% you NEED to order the cheese blintz!! It's soo yummy, so good. All the coffee items were delicious and you could order a mix drink at brunch as well. Everyone at my table loved what they ordered. I got the egg, biscuit and gravy- it was filling almost to the point where I should not have eaten the whole thing but it was so good that I didn't want to leave it behind or eat it as a leftover. There are only about 5-6 tables so probably no large groups! 4 was perfect. Free street parking. We waited about an hour for a table for 4 around 1100am. All staff was friendly and I will definitely be back! Hot spot for sure. read more
This restaurant reminds me of my favorite breakfast spot in Providence. The restaurant is tiny and seats no more than 20(?) at a time. The decor is rustic chic. The owner (and frankly the whole staff) is super friendly. I read reviews earlier and knew to come early. We walked along the River and got here around 9:30 am. We waited about fifteen minutes before we were seated. If you plan on coming during brunch times, I would suggest grabbing a coffee while you wait. There isn't much within walking distance to see. so even if they call you, you probably will just be walking along the residential side walk. Everything we had was amazing. We weren't planning to drink that early in the morning but boy were we not disappointed. Their cocktails were so delicious. My favorite dish was the mushroom grits. Their house made hot sauce is also delicious and I dipped my kitchen sink sausage in that happily. I'm sad they don't have any place similar in Cleveland but my waistline isn't! read more
What a great local restaurant, I really like how they use local source ingredients. Started out for with the griddled cinnamon roll, oh my it's warm and went so well with coffee. The potatoes were so cheesy, and the portion is shareable. ( the hot sauce is made in house outstanding) main dish was a fried chicken breast on top of grits with thus gravy that I couldn't get enough of! So if your wanting to go call ahead put your name on waiting list. They will let you do thus 30 minutes in advance. If you don't you wait outside, no indoor waiting space. Your in your call they will call you once you check in. Food is worth the wait! read more

Bumping rating up to 4 stars. I came by here for dinner with my gf around 7pm Friday night. The place looks exactly the same as the last time, nearly a year ago. 1. Smoked turkey, fig, and arugala sandwich, 13 http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/o7TX0QYPTUvc0lz-nP7RPQ?select=4Yr3gnTTp4tQh5leWBWR7A Really good. I was worried that just having turkey would be pretty boring, until I bit into the fig compote. The figs complemented the turkey perfectly, and the bread was toasted just right. The small salad side was also really good. 2. Three cheese omelette, 11 http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/o7TX0QYPTUvc0lz-nP7RPQ?select=-H_QjKXqCsIscVfv-rBEmQ Okay. Omelette was cooked perfectly, but it's still a cheese omelette at the end of the day. Service was good. Craig, one of the servers, recognized me, and we chatted a bit. read more

Upscale brunch with an urban twist! Wow, words can't express the food I just ate. Quaint location in German village with limited parking locations and limited seating. The service was top notch and the food quality blew me away. Small portions with a sizable price tag. I had the huevos rancheros. Two large crispy, fried corn tortillas with black beans, corn, pork shoulder and two eggs are the highlight of this dish. Ask for their homemade hot sauce made with habanero peppers. Smoky and savory kicked up a notch. My husband had the pork belly skillet hash with fingerling potatoes. The pork set it off. The tender pork along with the semi firm potatoes along with two eggs over medium made this dish amazing. So glad we experienced this restaurant and can't wait to come back! read more

Skillet exceeded expectations!! When we got there, we were told we'd have to wait about 10 minutes. It's a cute little place with only about five tables. We chose to wait. They told us to look at the menu. When we sat down to eat we ordered Waters to drink that came with a carafe. When we ordered, we ordered the cheesy taters and the grits with mushrooms and biscuits. I only tried the grits because it was one of the few vegetarian items on there. I do not regret it at all!!!!! That was one of the best breakfast dishes that I have ever eaten. The corn grits were the best!!! It was all delicious and our server was so nice and conversational and patient. We will definitely be back!! read more

Skillet is one of my favorite places to check out for brunch, and has always been consistently delicious for me! From the adorable little skillet used as the door handle, to the ever changing rustic menu, every touch here is truly a delight. If you're worried about parking there is not a parking lot but there is plenty of free street parking on the road. You could also park at Giant Eagle just a ways up. I recently came here with a couple of friends around 11:30AM on a Saturday which is one of their busier times. Despite the place being very small and cozy on the inside we only had about a 10 minute wait. The downside is that you have to wait outside since there isn't room indoors (so weather wise this could turn into a problem), but the plus side is they had a free coffee stand outside for you to help yourself! Nice touch. After a small cup of coffee we were seated at a smaller table outside. Our waitress came shortly after and she was super nice and helpful (we even joked about being Yelpers!) and allowed us enough time to peruse the menu. We all ended up ordering the same thing, the Chicken and Andouille Gravy & Biscuits, and some Cheese Taters for the table. The Chicken and Andouille Gravy and Biscuit was absolutely delicious and quiet hearty. Definitely enough to fill up and still have enough to take home! The Cheese Taters were gooey and delicious and had a nice kick with the fresh chunks of jalapeño! I've also had the Griddled Cinnamon Roll here in the past which is a large cinnamon roll cut in half and warmed up on the grill with syrup and powdered sugar on top! It's a MUST try, but I would recommend splitting it with at least one other person as it is quite indulgent and sugary for the morning. If you haven't been to Skillet, it's definitely worth checking out! read more

We like to explore Columbus for new brunch and coffee spots and came across Skillet. I had the cinnamon roll latte - it was decent. Both my husband and I had the duck confit hash. Unfortunately, the duck was over cooked and the dish was underwhelming. Also, the ambiance and seating was just less to be desired. This was definitely one of those "we came, we saw, we won't be returning" experiences. I understand Covid has affected many businesses, but many have found effective ways to mitigate the problem, I think they could use some help in that area. I am not one to wait for long periods of time in lines (pandemic or not). We had to wait outside in the freezing cold rain until one of the (5 available) tables became empty. Not good. read more
I give 5 stars sparingly but this fine little gem certainly deserves all five! Nestled in a quaint area this little place has big character and a great staff. I had the turkey and bean soup, one of the best I've ever tasted and the omelette that was equally amazing. My friend had the scallops and grits that was truly yummy. For dessert we had a cinnamon roll that will make you drool. Don't miss this place. There may be a short wait for a table depending on the day and time but believe me it's worth it! read more
Skillet is a quaint restaurant with simple yet elegant American food. I visited for Saturday brunch. I got the Piemento burger, recommended by our server, and my girlfriend got the Russian hash. We split the cheese taters. Despite Skillet not being a burger joint, the Piemento burger was one of the best burgers I've had. The medium rare patty, the toasted buns, and the creamy spread along with fresh vegetables combined for an exquisite taste. It was a little difficult to eat due to its size, but I was able to manage (definitely not a first date meal). The Russian hash and the cheese taters were also excellent. I didn't feel like any of the items were unique or rare, but they all seemed to hit the foundations well. This is a great place for anyone looking for a luxurious American brunch. read more
I have to say this little gem gets 5 stars!! You will not be disappointed; if you see a line wait. It will be worth it. The service was on point; very knowledgeable and attentive to everyone's needs. The chef has a passion for food which touches your palette with each bite. read more

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.
