We arrived at Skillet for lunch and were quickly seated. The service was good and speedy while the atmosphere was typical of your New American cafe. The Cluck Chub 5/5 Let me start off by saying that this sandwich is absolutely massive and messy but also one of my favorite chicken sandwiches I've ever had. The patty was juicy and well-seasoned without being too salty. The other toppings like the bacon jam, bacon, lettuce, cheeses, etc complemented the sandwich well without overpowering anything. The grits were one of my favorites-- I can't seem to find lots of grits places in Seattle. With all of that being said, I will warn you that this sandwich is extremely messy so be prepared to clean up! Overall, the ambiance, food, and service was all very good but I will have to ding a star for the price. This sandwich was about $20 before tip which IMO is a bit on the pricy side for breakfast/lunch even in Seattle. I would probably still come back though :) read more

Skillet Diner - Seattle Stopped in while on vacation in Seattle, and wow Skillet Diner did not disappoint! I ordered the Cluck Chub and let me tell you, pictures don't do it justice. The portions were huge, and everything was packed with flavor. I also had the mac and cheese fire . The French toast and morning potatoes were hella good too. Service was on point our host was super helpful in recommending what to try, and everything hit the spot. When I'm back in Seattle, this place is a must. Highly recommend! read more

Skillet is tucked away on a corner on the edge of Capitol Hill in Central District, and as such, has wraparound outdoor seating in addition to indoor tables and booths. Arriving mid-morning on a weekday, they were already bustling. We were able to snag a table for two without a reservation on the outdoor patio. Our server was very friendly, welcoming, and chatty. He went the extra mile to make us feel right at home. Their vibe is down-home-cooking meets Seattle hipster. And it works! Cutlery and napkins are tucked into mason jars, and meals served in skillets are the main event. My chilaquiles were outstanding. I only wish some of the nachos weren't smothered in salsa just because I love to enjoy some when they are crispy. I ordered a small green salad, to offset all the carbohydrates. I found it to be overdressed and soggy. A lighter touch would have gone a long way. My spouse's breakfast skillet was a flavor bomb, bursting with fresh peppers and potatoes, with just the right amount of subtle heat from the chorizo. Even with his big appetite, he couldn't finish his plate. Dishes were priced on the high end for breakfast/brunch but the portions are immense. Sides are very reasonably priced, however, when ordering with a main dish. Next time, we'll split just one dish and order a few extra sides. There are lots of delicious sounding options to try! read more

This was a great stop this morning. Everything was on point. Food was great, beverages good, staff was good, and there was no wait at the time I went. I went with the Breakfast Burrito which was delicious. My son had the Chicken & Waffles, and our other friend went with the breakfast Sammy The donuts are addictive and a must have with the jam, and you will easily eat them all. This was overall a good stop and I will definitely be returning for another visit when in Seattle. Great job Skillet. read more

We had a reservation for a group of seven, six of us new to the restaurant. We were seated within a couple of minutes of arrival. It's a cute, open restaurant with a full bar. Once we were seated, our awebwe came to take our drink order and then our food order. The menu had a nice assortment and something for everyone. Once our food arrived, we never saw anyone again until it was time to pay. We all enjoyed our meals, but I would have loved a refill of water. Another issue I had was the added gratuity. The bottom of the menu states that gratuity will be added for parties of eight or more. Our party had seven and the server took the liberty of adding the gratuity. All in all a decent dining experience thanks to the good food. I'd pass on a return though given the experience with our server. read more

I've enjoyed Skillet since they opened. Portions are huge, service is always great, and this location in particular reminds me of the diversity of the hill and its changes. I often get nostalgic walking past Pretty Parlor, zig zag to hot mama's, walk by the old neighbors, Linda's, and up the hill by the old Globe restaurant to Skillet. It's a zig zag but I have lots of fond memories. My favorite dish is the chicken and waffles. It's a Seattle take which in my opinion I enjoy. The portions of chicken can feed two people or more since my appetite has shrunk and I love biting into the house made waffles. I love how the experience of sitting outside feels fresh and airy and it reminds me so much of Presse. This is a wonderful Seattle staple and I love coming here for celebrations and catching up with friends. read more

Came here in a Sunday morning! Place was pretty packed but they got us seating. There's some outdoor seating too which is accommodating of pets. Having a conversation is kind of hard since where we were seated, there were people directly to the left and right of us talking and it's hard not to hear everything. Service was pretty good and fast. Food was decent too. Kind of over-priced for the quality. We heard the chicken wasn't the best so we didn't order any chicken menu items. We got French toast, shareable Mac and cheese and the avocado breakfast burrito with fries. The French toast was ok. Lacking flavor or taste. The Mac and cheese was pretty good but bland and tasted a tiny bit watery. The best item we ordered, that I would order again, was the avocado breakfast burrito. Super tasty and fresh. The fries in the burrito paired nicely as well. read more

This feel like a very classic Seattle vibe. It's definitely a little more packed than I thought it would be, it's hard to have a more personal conversation, it feels like I'm a part of everyone else's conversation around me. Overall the food is pretty good. I can't say it's worth the price but I think it's pretty typically for Seattle. I would return if I find myself really wanting to feel like a typical seattleite at some point in the future. No parking lot, find street parking. read more

Skillet Diner in Capitol Hill is an absolute gem, and I have to start by saying how amazing the staff were. As a Florida boy visiting Seattle, I felt immediately welcomed by their friendliness and warmth. They made the whole experience even better. The food was incredible. I didn't have the biggest appetite that day and couldn't take leftovers with me, but I couldn't resist trying the Chicken Chub with bacon jam--it was *so* good. The flavors were out of this world. Also, finding grits that are actually well-prepared is a rare thing, but Skillet nailed it. Their grits were fantastic, and I found myself wishing I could finish every bite. The drinks were just as good, pairing perfectly with the cozy, beautiful decor. It all came together to make the whole dining experience feel special and laid-back at the same time. If you're in the area, Skillet Diner is definitely worth the visit. read more

My friends and I stumbled upon this restaurant while visiting Seattle. The staff was patient and kind. He guided us through the menu and suggested the popular dishes. We ordered the The Cluck Chub, Chicken Sammy and the Breakfast Skillet. The food looked and tasted amazing! The fried chicken in the sandwiches were tender and crispy, and the breakfast taters/fries were cooked perfectly. The skillet was amazing with the mix of fried chicken, breakfast taters, scrambled eggs, veggies and chorizo sauce! 10/10 recommend if you're in the area for some delicious breakfast food! read more

It's been a hot minute since I've been up to Seattle and visited my old fave Skillet. SO HAPPY to report this spot still slaps and the service was phenomenal. My friend got the hot honey biscuit and poutine *with breakfast potatoes and caramelized onions instead of fries* - the poutine was insanely good. I got the chicken chub sandwich with a kale Caesar, and it was a flavor bomb to the extreme. Coffee was strong! Vibes were good. It's good to be back. read more

Skillet Diner - Capitol Hill - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Seattle, Washington

We were looking for a sit down breakfast in the downtown core on a weekend. It took a long time to be acknowledged at the entrance, and even longer to be seated. It was odd because there were a lot of tables open and a lot of wait staff running around. It seemed that staff coverage (who was doing what) was a bit ad hoc. A lot of tables needed bussing. Once we were seated it took a long time for someone to come take our order. A very pleasant woman finally stopped and asked us if we'd been served (we hadn't) and once she took us on, things improved. Food was substantial in size. I think they could make portions smaller and no one would go hungry; I know that's the diner ethos but it seemed a bit much. My chilaquiles were huge (more like breakfast nachos); the over easy eggs were well done but the whole thing was a lot wetter (sauce + salsa) than I prefer. My guy liked his chicken and waffles well enough. I would come back to Skillet if I was absolutely famished and needed a lot of breakfast in a sit down environment. read more

I've been to skillet a few times and every time I leave full and satisfied. Their food is delicious for both brunch and dinner. I've tried their salmon sandwich, hot honey chicken sandwich (with an egg) and a breakfast plate containing: eggs, bacon, potatoes and a biscuit (the biscuit was wonderful). My bfs go to order is the chub with a side tomato bisque soup but last time we visited he loved my hot honey chicken sandwich so much he considered switching his future order . Tips / recommendations: fries over the breakfast potatoes (garlic fries were phenomenal) and make reservations if possible, especially during brunch. This place tends to get busy and there are usually people waiting to be seated. read more

I loved the ambiance and vibe of the place, the service is friendly. We got The Benny, and the Big Bear Breaky with bacon and French toast. The Benny was good, a little too much hollandaise sauce for me, tasted good. The Big Bear Breky was good. We loved the French Toast. The hot chocolate and Mocha were both good. read more

Walked in Friday morning with a party of 12, very accommodating to get us all seated. I started off the morning with a nice breakfast shot; loved it! The bourbon was nice and sweet like a syrup and paired so well with the OJ and bacon. For my entree, I did the avocado breakfast burrito with a side of taters. The burrito was ok, it was cooked very well and was fresh, but wasn't to my liking; it seemed a bit plain and as if it was missing something. Overall, tons of options to pick from and the place is pretty cute. The portions of food are a decent size too. read more

First time in Seattle and this was the spot we hit up for breakfast. To our surprise the place was pretty empty for the most part and they were able to accommodate my family of 12 easily. Staff were amazing , friendly and made sure to take care of us as soon as possible. We actually walked to this location because it was a couple blocks down from our Airbnb we were staying at. Best part is it is located just a 10 min walk from downtown ! Now as far as the food , it was pretty good, but I think I was expecting more as far as taste. Presentation was great and brought up the ratings but I would say it was a bit more drier than I thought. Drinks is where it had me. Had a breakfast shot and a fruity drink. I don't quite remember the name, but if you see a drink that has all the tropical drinks that's it ! Was so refreshing and hit the spot! read more

Amazing brunch spot with classic diner vibes! We showed up at 9am with no reservation with 10 people - probably a nightmare for most places for a Sunday brunch. They managed to accommodate us on their patio (had to take advantage of people being unwilling to sit outside when it was a bit chilly) and got our food and drinks out pretty quickly. It was so appreciated as we were coming from out of town and meeting up with people we haven't seen in a while. I ordered the chicken and waffles, which was delicious. The piece of chicken I got was massive and perfectly fried, and the waffle wasn't too sweet and held up well structurally. The food everyone else got looked great too. We'll definitely be back the next time we're craving brunch in Capitol Hill! read more

Skillet is a good and reliable breakfast meal if you enjoy Carbs, meats, and yummy mimosas options. If you are vegan or vegetarian, there is limited options, the Kale salad is great but you would ask for the fish to be left off. I came by early morning yesterday, 8:40am for a breakfast meeting and had a reservation that requested a quiet area for the working meeting. Customer service was friendly and welcoming but didn't look up my reservation when I gave info and was seated next to the bar tables in front of the two big screen TV's. The sound was low which helped. *We had the Robinson which sounds like a McDonald's McGriddle, a pancake sandwich. This was two large pancakes with one egg and bacon strips in between. Side of Kale Caesar salad. *The chicken and waffles with a side of grits. *Mimosa Flight (3). - (2)Apple mimosa and (1)pomegranate mimosa. Overall Americans eat too quickly given how heavy the sustenance is and given how the establishment wasn't busy nor full, I would suggest alternate locations for a breakfast meeting to not fell rushed to eat and go. Things to note: there's construction in the area that can impact your commute here and parking. The new G line is open and an easy walk here if you are taking mass transit. Noted on the menu is if you leave a 5 star review and show your server, you receive 10%. My review is not comped or impacted by their discount, nor did I receive one for this meal or review. read more

I've heard about this brunch place for a while now and finally decided to try it out. I went on a Saturday around 3pm and it wasn't too busy, with no wait time. As for the food, I got the avocado breakfast burrito with poutine and the cluck chub sandwich with morning taters to share. The burrito was pretty mild in flavor and I'd say it's a safe option. The chicken sandwich was yummy with the over easy egg running. The sides were quite salty though, the poutine more than the taters, which knocks it down a star for me. Both came with a side of ketchup. Overall, I really liked the atmosphere and would come again if I was in the area. Definitely a solid spot. read more

Had an itch for coffee and one of my guilty joys in life - pancakes. Skillet was recommended by a coworker as a must experience and I'll admit, it was a solid stop. I was able to snag easy parallel parking but obviously be aware - street parking. The inside had decent seating, felt small for a restaurant/bar, and we opted to eat at the bar based on how busy it was. Our server was awesome, he was super quick and courteous(to add, we were sat at the far side of the bar in what felt like a different room. There was a break in the bar counter and a second mini bar without a bar tender is what we sat in front of). I went with the griddle cakes which came out quick and were more than I could tackle solo. Mistakes were made . They had a wonderful flavor and moisture without the need of syrup, but, what monster doesn't pour syrup on pancakes. I also opted to have a side of bacon which I wish was cooked just a bit more (I prefer crisp over squiggly bacon) but the flavor was solid. My gf had the chub breakfast sandwich which I sampled and was also super tasty. Overall I thought it was a solid experience and would easily check them back out. read more

I highly recommend you check this place out for brunch if you're in the Seattle area. I do suggest that you make reservations as they can get busy and the food is THAT good! With so many great options... it was really hard to make a decision. Food is made fresh to order, and the portion sizes are HUGE! We tried the shrimp and grits and Mike's scramble. We just had to try the pancakes, and I wanted a side of grits. The food did NOT disappoint. You are able to order drinks, and the brunch punch and mimosas were delicious. This place gives you old school diner vibes with great customer service! I cannot stress to make reservations ahead of time! We tried to eat here back in February and had to wait over an hour, only to be told an additional 45 minutes. We were sooo disappointed . I made sure to make reservations, we ventured to Seattle back in May, and again, we visited in August. We're already talking about new dishes to try . read more

* Chicken and waffles 3.5/5 * Breakfast burrito 3/5 * Poutine fries 3/5 -chicken and waffles was just OK. It was slightly better than average, but the chicken was a little over cooked and dry. Very crispy tho -breakfast burrito my mom Pat was just OK as well. Good size portion in the potatoes went well with it. -poutine fries could've been very good, but were soggy and they put the gravy on too soon for how long it took to come out.

Skillet was definitely some good food. Slightly on the pricey side but it's Capitol Hill so it's expected. The only reason it's 4/5 was the service left a little to be desired. Other than that the place is very busy and bustling. If you don't get there early or have a reservation than good luck. I had the cluck chub sandwich with Mac and cheese and it was super rich but very good. They definitely do chicken right. My wife had the basic breakfast with a waffle and I gotta say that the waffle was amaaaaazing. Best waffle I have ever had out. read more

Traveling through Seattle and we needed some food. Decided to check out Skillet. It is the Pacific Northwest, so it's a little more expensive but oh so good. First off I love the support of Pride month :) all the banners outside to represent. My boyfriend and I got there just in time as it got a bit busy after we were seated. It I love the ambiance. How cute and bright it was. A simple yet fulfilling menu. My boyfriend ordered the griddle cakes (which were huge and delicious) and I ordered the chub. I also chose to have a vacation Bloody Mary. You can tell the Bloody Mary mix is homemade and I loved it! The sandwich was awesome and I could taste all the different aspects including the jalapeño aioli. Breakfast potatoes were HOT and big but also tasty. I was very full afterward. The staff was attentive and friendly and willing to answer questions. If I'm back in Seattle I would be more than happy to make another visit. read more

Probably one of the best, if not THE best, brunches I've ever had. The Chub sandwich was perfection and has inspired me to try making my own bacon jam. The donuts were also great and came piping hot with Nutella and raspberry jam for dipping. The bacon jam infused-vodka in the Bloody Mary was a nice touch and that was delicious, too. Making a reservation is a great idea and we were seated right away. Service was friendly and prompt. They also have a location at the airport, near the N gates, so I know for next time to show up hungry! read more

This place was all the rage a decade ago and I've tried it a couple of times, but I still don't get the hype. Granted, this last time I got my meal delivered, but I can't imagine anyone would be bowled over by the $17 "ultimate grilled cheese" in the photo in person or otherwise. I guess if you like giant bricks of bread with a tiny smattering of cheese, maybe it's good? Maybe it just didn't deliver well, but about 1/3 of it went in the trash. The Nashville chicken sammy was ok, but didn't taste like it was made by anyone who's ever had a real one. It was a decent piece of chicken, but the spices weren't right. I wouldn't get it again. The best part by far was the cup of tomato bisque - so good!! read more
