    Fish and chips
    Paulette C.

    I wanted to get fish and chips so I made my way to this restaurant. For airport food, it turned out to be OK. As usual airport food is very pricey so it was worth a little splurge.

    No matter if your flight is on time or you're waiting for a delayed flight, Skillet delivers on both comfort and taste. Thankfully our trip thru the TSA lines went quicker than expected so we had some time to get a bite before our flight. Thankfully we came across Skillet near our gate and there was ample space to be seated quickly. The service was okay as they always seemed rushed but it might be a result of the environment being at an airport. However I felt that it didn't detract from the experience because we were seated at a table. If you have time I would recommend getting a table so that you don't get caught up in that rushed feeling at the bar seating. Table seating offered QR code ordering so you can keep at your pace if you don't want to wait for a server to help. The food was absolutely fantastic. I chose "The Scramble" and was pleasantly surprised at how delicious it was. The eggs and taters were done right and full of flavor. I only wish they had more hot sauce options for a place that serves eggs and burritos. Sriracha and Tobasco just doesn't cut it to be your only options in my opinion. My partner had the "Bacon Cheddar Breakfast Burrito" with an arugula salad. The burrito was a good but standard breakfast burrito but the salad was actually the star. I know others complain about the price but what you're getting here is more than a simple grab and go that you normally get at the airport. You won't get the standard sit down experience like at a normal restaurant so I feel like it can't be judged the same but I wasn't disappointed. If you're looking for a good meal while still being able to make your flight, I would recommend this place with the right expectations as the pace is quick but the food is still quality.

    Early morning airport dining is usually a gamble, but Skillet makes it feel a little more intentional than your typical grab-and-go chaos. I stopped by around 8am before a flight, and the place was buzzing. Open seating with a full view of the tarmac and steady foot traffic made it prime people-watching territory. As a solo traveler, I actually loved that. There's something grounding about watching strangers rush to their gates while you sit there with coffee (well, water in my case) and your thoughts, realizing everyone's the main character in their own story. I ordered the Club Chub, and when it came out... I genuinely paused. The fried chicken was massive, like palm-of-my-hand massive. Slightly on the drier side, but still flavorful enough that I didn't leave a bite behind. Food came out fast too, which matters when you're watching boarding time creep closer. Service was efficient but stretched thin. It took a few minutes to get my order in, and I noticed a couple seated after me got their coffee first, while we all got water at the same time. Not a huge deal, just noticeable. One egg was missing from my plate, but when I mentioned it, my server brought it out right away and even added an extra, which I appreciated. At about $27, it's definitely airport pricing, but the portion size helps justify it. Pro tip: Come hungry and give yourself a little buffer time. This isn't a rushed meal, but it is a memorable one. Would I come back? Yeah. Next time, I might just pace myself... or bring a bigger appetite.

    Blackened Salmon Salad & Bacon Jam Burger

    Delicious! I don't know if I was hungry or the food was just that good but that salad was demolished within minutes of it being placed in front of me. You wait to get seated then order (& pay) from a QR code. Even with that, the food came out quickly and the servers still checked on us periodically. Prices at airport prices so this (plus a lemonade & tip) was $81.

    Avacado Burrito & salad
    Kristen B.

    Breakfast & lunch options, along with a full bar. Food was prepared for ME, and greens were fresh. I enjoyed the avocado burrito-minus the fries.... Side of salad. Food was quick and service efficient & friendly. They were happy to take my order, but you can also use QR code.

    Unfortunately The skillet at the airport does not resemble what I've had in Seattle. I ordered chilaquiles... it was chips and salsa. Hardly in salsa either. Chips were crunchy, no soft chips, definitely not simmered in sauce. Hardly any flavor at all. I feel like I paid for chips and salsa with an egg on top. Bloody Mary was basic... Service, I sat at the bar he was pretty busy but took 10 minutes just to place order and get water. Maybe just an off day I don't know.

    When in SEA-TAC, get the coffee.

    Not sure why this spot gets the low reviews, but our experience was pretty great. It wasn't the *best breakfast ever* but it was darn good when we needed it most (following a four-hour jaunt). You have to wait to be seated, but the wait is minimal. The serving staff busts their tails clearing tables, serving weary travelers, and enduring crabby airport types. From the time we were seated to food service was maybe 10-12 minutes and Jocelyn was so friendly and welcoming. Dishes came out well-prepared and the portion sizes are beyond ample. I recommend the granola, a mixed fruit version with Greek yogurt and fresh fruit slices. Sweet, lots of whole oats, and a very satisfying breakfast. My lovely wife opted for the 'Scramble', which was a mélange of scrambled eggs, kale, & bacon atop a slab of whole wheat toast. Not sure how Skillet came upon their fried breakfast potato 'recipe' but they are FIRE. Throw in a hot cuppa Cafe Vita coffee and you have yourself a great breakfast. Pricing is airport-style, so quit yer whinin' and pony up. Seating can get a bit cramped because pretty much everyone has their luggage about them. But solo travelers can always find room at the bar & sample from a strong beer menu, wine selection, & more. It's a good spot if you have the time and opportunity while in SeaTac.

    Decent food and great service, just overpriced (even for airport food). It's kind of cool that you order on you phone and they just bring it out without having to wait to order... but no huger should be over $20.

    Your way
    Jinny C.

    Had a great experience at Skillet thanks to the amazing service. It was early morning and I was in a little bit of a rush, but my server was friendly, attentive, and quick. I got the Your Way breakfast and it was a solid breakfast option. Both table and bar seating and to-go counter available.

    Salmon Sandwich ($23.99) with Avocado ($2.99)
    Wendi K.

    I don't get why this spot has such bad reviews. It's got cozy booths and plentiful tables to chill at while you wait for your flight. The food is amazing. The grilled salmon burger ($23.99) with avocado ($2.99) was really delicious - fresh, succulent salmon perfectly grilled on a fluffy brioche bun and a generous mound of sliced avocado. The tomato bisque that you can pick for a side is creamy, flavorful, and delicious. The ordering system is super easy - they even have a QR code option you can scan to order and pay. The staff are polite and the food comes out quickly. Overall the perfect stop to grab some food before my flight!

    Colleen M.

    Food was cold. Burritos full of cold greasy French fries, served cold with a side of overcooked potatoes. Using fresh ingredients would be a start.

    Fish and Chips
    Sean H.

    As someone who spends a lot of time in airports, I try to find a spot where I can actually sit down and enjoy a meal, and Skillet looked promising. The space is bright with ramp views and TVs, but I sat for about 10 minutes before anyone came over, while three servers stood at the bar talking, and the online ordering system wasn't working either. I ordered fish and chips expecting a solid Pacific Northwest option, but the fish was oily and heavily battered, the fries were a bit soggy, and it just didn't match the $20+ price. Overall, this one's a pass.

The pork chop was tender, and went well with the homemade vinegar & garlic sauce. The long lumpia shanghai was GBD, and also went well with the sauce. The longanisa had a texture that reminded me of childhood, and the Ilocos sausage (that is less fatty), was a nice contrast. Lastly, the savory corned beef was a good way to finish the big portion of garlic rice. I def needed a nap after this meal. Regarding the ambiance, its a small, casual place that holds 50. You order at the front, and your food is brought to you quickly. There were a lot of Flip clients, but there were also a fair number of non-Flip clients. Many of the clients looked like regulars. The staff is super nice, and they play Hawaiian reggae in the background. All in all, an awesome experience in DT Seattle. There's a reason Ludi's is on Yelp's Top 100 list. I have a trip booked in Oct to SEA, and I'm glad my hotel is very close to Ludi's.

To be fair, it was SUPER busy; like at least 100 people in the dining room. I had one of their seasonal specials, the peaches and cream Swedish pancakes. It was a generous portion included with a trip to the berry bar. The berry bar was very fresh and well maintained as far as cleanliness. It was also in a prime location, near the tables but not too close and not in the way of the walking path. The peaches were juicy and sweet and the cream cheese frosting was a decadent topping. I added some berries which made it extra special. I liked the caramel shards, but they were a little on the thick side for my liking and were a bit tough to eat. However, I really enjoyed the dish overall! I also got a side of peppered bacon which was well-cooked, crispy, and extra peppery. My friend got the classic French toast and a side of potatoes. She loved the French toast with the included berry bar trip! However, the potatoes were cut into HUGE pieces which were difficult to eat even though they were cooked through.
