It's always so good here! Service is so friendly and excellent! The food is super creative and flavorful! The fresh squeezed orange juice always hits right! The steak and eggs were on point! Didn't want anything fancy today! Just wanted tasty protein and fruit! Their milkshakes and lattes were catching my eye, but I had to discipline myself today! There's always next time! I'll be back for sure! This is the spot!
Sooooo I haven't been to this place in 7 years and I now know why lol. Now let me just say the place is a vibe, the decorations are engaging and fun. The Iced Coffee with Caramel was the star for me! Ironically I said the same thing about their milkshake 7 years ago....they know how to craft a delicious beverage yummy!!! That said, the food is just meh. Ordered the French toast again and yeah....it was alright but lacked flavor? Idk maybe they need to add a lil cinnamon or something. My omelette was okie dokie, the bacon instead could've been better cooked, I found myself eating around it. The potatoes were good tho. All in all, I'm dropping my rating down to 3 stars because I need the food to be on par with the drinks. Not terrible but have had better At least customer service was amazing! Waitress was very attentive :-)
Came here because my baby said he seen this place online and said we must try it! So on a Saturday morning we made our way here, our lil morning date! I loveee the atmosphere here so much funny pictures on the wall! We were seated and given our menus. I got a hot chocolate of course with my whip cream and my baby got an iced mocha latte. I ordered the chief special and my baby ordered the omelette, he loves his eggs lol. Food was really delicious! I will definitely will stop by here again with my in-laws.
I really hate to leave a less then positive review for a small business, but I was genuinely not too happy with our experience. I had brunch with my girlfriends here a few months ago. Being a busy Sunday, we did have to wait about 20 minutes (for our party of 5) which was fine. They did allow one of us to put down our name, but we all had to arrive to be seated. Parking was easy and plentiful in the nearby lot. We are seated at a 4 top which is completely workable however, a bigger table opens up and we asked to move to that table and our request was denied. Then, to add insult to injury, a party of 3 are seated at the larger table! Even though, the food was delicious, and the portions were super generous, we were crowded and uncomfortable. Our server was missing most of the time and our requests for coffee refills were ignored. My girlfriends and I did have an enjoyable meal because we hadn't seen each other in a while and had fun catching up. Aside from the good company, our experience was far from ideal. Because of that reason, I do not think I will be returning.
Haven't been to Skillet'z in a few years. Went with a friend after a funeral service and I will say their portions are huge. So much I had to take more then half of it home. Can't eat like I use to. The food was delicious and the service was quick and friendly. They had this giant tv in the front where we were sitting. The vibe feels like a tourist spot where if you were on a roadtrip swinging through and want to leave something there to be remembered by. Love the small trinkets and paper trail they have in the table that we sat at. I kept looking at it because it basically took up the entire wall. Great spot for lunch, hopefully I will swing by again sooner than a few years.
Came here with three other friends on the weekend around 11 AM and it was very busy, but the system they have is so efficient that it didn't even feel like a long wait. They take your party name and your order outside, so by the time you're seated, your food comes out almost instantly. Everything felt super fast even though there was a wait. As soon as I walked in, I loved the vibe. The tables are see-through and filled with little momentos, which was really fun to look through while sitting there. There's also a lot of art on the walls, making the whole place feel very lively. One small touch that stood out to me was a wall dedicated to loved ones and pets -- it was really touching and added such a positive feel to the space. The restaurant is a good medium size, with a few small tables outside if you want to sit out there. There's also a parking lot off to the side with plenty of spaces for the strip, so parking wasn't an issue. The food was very good -- tasty and flavorful. Even though I'm giving this place 5 stars because I genuinely loved everything about it, we did find a hair in one of my friend's meals. However, they immediately handled it and replaced her entire dish with no issues, which is exactly how it should be handled. Mistakes happen, but they took care of it right away. Overall, great experience and I would definitely come back.
As much as I love this local spot I would not return. When we walked in there was a very off putting smell that me and my sister both noticed. Service is great they constantly checked in and served more water. I noticed my cup was dirty which was unappetizing. The food is good yes and on the affordable side but I wouldn't come back.
We came here for brunch on the weekend and it was popping! Our friend got here 10 minutes before us to get a table. We parked a block or two away. It was super sunny and the sidewalk was full of people waiting to get in. They had menus for people to look at while they waited. I think it might have been another 30 minutes for us to be seated, this place is popular! My partner had the turkey club and I got the breakfast burrito. We didn't wind up finishing our food because the portions are huge. We took them home as leftovers. Everything tasted good and service was friendly and quick. Would come again, though maybe at a less crowded time. Decor was cool, dog themed where we were sitting.
I recently went to Skillet'z Cafe for a weekend brunch with my girlies. The cafe is located in Niles Town, this area have its own old historical vibe, lowkey felt like I was time traveled to old Hollywood. We arrived around noon and waited about 10-15 minutes for a table on the outdoor patio, not bad at all for peak brunch time. Once seated, the service was incredibly fast and friendly. Their menu got sooo many options + daily specials, so there's something for everyone. There was 3 of us but we ordered 4 plates (as we should lol). We got the classic scramble eggs with hashbrown and bacon, an omelette with spinach and mushroom (also hashbrown ofc), and I got the steak with roasted potato, scramble eggs, and english muffin. For dessert, we got the Sweet Ethan pancake to share because... priorities. My girls also got orange juice and a mocha coffee for their drinks. The portion here is HUGE huge. Everything tasted like it was made with love and care, we were hungry and tried our best to finish the food but still had leftovers... I wasn't hungry again till late dinner time... Overall such a good time, good food, good vibes. Definitely recommend if you in the area. Just be ready to be in a food coma, but you can always walk it off around the town to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
This restaurant is always so busy, and there's a reason for it. Once again, had a great experience here. Staff and Service: - We made a reservation ahead of time, which helped - Decide what you want to eat outside, place your order with the person outside, and your order will come to you when you sit down Food and Drinks: - Banana matcha: so good! I w deciding between this and the strawberry matcha, but do not regret my decision (cannot substitute for non-dairy milk) - Mexican scramble: such big portions! This was delicious and filling - Chilaquiles: also delicious and filling with big portions. The carne asada comes in big pieces (just FYI) Miscellaneous: - Parking is available via a parking lot next to the restaurant, as well as street parking - Good for small and large groups (there was a group of 8 or so in front of us)
This place is great! From the location to the service and of course the food! I came here with my boyfriend a couple years ago and we've been coming back since! My whole family enjoys this cafe so much and we celebrate a lot of birthdays here! They have an outdoor patio area for seating that's very cute and perfect for sunny days! It's covered so you won't get burnt by the sun!! The service is absolutely amazing, you order before sitting down so that by the time you get sat, your foods practically ready! I love the system they have and it seems to work very well for them! The food is delicious as well as their drink options! This time I decided to order their strawberry matcha and it was soooo yummy! My niece ordered their banana matcha and that was just as good!!! The food always tastes fresh and homemade. It's like you can taste the love they add into their food! Everyone I love adores this place and we'll continue to come and enjoy their delicious food, outstanding service and fun atmosphere!
Skillet'z remains as one of my favorite breakfast spots. The service is quick and friendly every time I go. I like that they take your order ahead of time so the food comes out quickly after being seated. It makes things go a lot smoother. I've eaten here 3x in the last 4 months and my new fave is the Hella Bay breakfast sammich. Sourdough bread, hamburger patty, American cheese and Denver omelette eggs. Hella Bay is hella good!
Busy in morning Went there at 1 pm I barely ordered my food and 5 min later they brought all of it tasty flvorable and big portions now I have lunch for tomorrow will go again they also serve lunch Amazing busy and worth it
I wanted to love this restaurant, I truly did. First things first, the vibe is very cute. I like the urban hella Bay meets small historic town theme of it. Unfortunately, I was seated towards the back, on the side with the restrooms and all I could smell was the plumbing; it was nasty. I know it's an old building, I've been into places where they get that kind of musty smell, this permeated the whole meal. Occasionally, a cheap candle burning to the left of me (probably to mask the smell) would waft over, and that was almost as gross as the plumbing scent. The server was very friendly once she greeted me, and I really liked her, with one suggestion: she needs to learn not to lean her bottom on the tables while taking orders from other patrons. I was seated at the table. My breakfast arrived. I looked to my right and she's got her cheeks on my table. I questioned whether it was just the spacing, or maybe her hoodie, but she straightened up and then sat them back again. Enough about the ambience. The food: I ordered the skilletz special with French toast, eggs over medium, bacon, and country potatoes - I asked for Extra crispy. The food arrived quickly, maybe too quickly. It looked beautiful, but went south quickly from there. The moment I popped into the yolk it was completely overrun by wet egg white, which makes me nauseous. I hate slimy whites, hence the request for over-medium. I ate maybe 3 bites around the edge and tried to get to some yolk but I was gonna be sick with the river of whites. The bacon was good and crispy. My country potatoes tasted like they'd been scooped out of a bin that had been sitting and steaming for a long while. There was zero crisp to a single bite of it. They had not even warmed them up again. Unfortunately, same goes for the French toast. I can live with the sandwich bread French toast if it has some moisture and flavor. I know some restaurants use plain white bread, but it was cold and dry - not like cooled down because it sat there for a minute; remember, the food came out quickly. If it had been freshly made, it should've been piping hot, but it wasn't even lukewarm - the whipped butter didn't even melt a little (see the pic). In fact, parts of it tasted cold like they make the French toast and potatoes in bulk in the morning and then keep them in a bin and throw some onto a grill to warm up but they didn't warm mine up. The hottest thing out of all of my food was the syrup. I had to douse the toast in syrup to try to warm it up a little bit. Again, maybe 3 bites and done. All in all, I'm sad. It was a real disappointment. The tab was $27+6 for tip.... I expect freshly prepared food at that price. It does look to do good business. read more

We came here for breakfast as we were passing through Fremont and I love the Niles area. The drinks we were got were good but a little too sweet for me. My boyfriend got the fried chicken steak plate and it was good and a really big portion. I got the spicy chicken melt and it was really good and tasty plus really big portion. We also shared the beignets that come in different flavors and they were fluffy and really good. Altogether a solid breakfast spot. read more

Hi Zem, thank you so much for the kind review! We’re glad you came by…
Skillet'z is a fun, lively stop for breakfast. Thanks Check, Please! Bay Area for the tip. I made a reservation via Yelp, anticipating a crowd on a Saturday morning. When we got there, around 9 a.m., there were still open tables, so the reservation felt unnecessary at that hour. There was, however, a line by the time we left. The food options are so numerous that it took a bit of thought to decide what to get. Many of the dishes are meat heavy and creatively combine recurring ingredients. Service was pleasant, efficient and extremely fast. Different staff are assigned to bringing water, filling coffee, taking orders, delivering food and dropping off the check, so we felt well taken care of. We had a few special requests for our food and the server and kitchen filled our order perfectly. Know that the portions are extremely large, so bring your appetite or consider splitting an entrée. You definitely will not be hungry shortly after this meal. Customers slip pictures, business cards, stickers and the like under the clear dining table protector, making it a community bulletin board of sorts. Make a mental note to bring something of your own to add if you like. The location is in a historic and walkable shopping area, perfect for a stroll after your meal. Since I had never been to this neighborhood before, exploring felt like a brief staycation. Don't miss the Niles Fremont Farmers' Market down the street if you stop by on a Saturday morning. read more

Chicken and Waffles (8/10): This meal was so filling and definitely worth the price. The waffles had almost a vanilla-cake mix flavor which was super different from any other waffle I've had!! The chicken was a bit salty for me but pairing it with the waffles makes it perfect. The mac n cheese was a bit cold when it came out, but tastes just fine. Hash brown was crispy on the top and soft in the middle. Service was really quick! We went at around 1:30pm, so it was too busy. Waitress was friendly, and the restaurant itself felt very homey. It's one of those restaurants that you must try if you go to Niles. read more

2.5 stars. The service sucked so bad. We ordered outside and then got seated inside. It was fast but not once did they come by and when we were about done we had the bill thrown on one of the plates. Food- was mediocre. We ordered the decoto loaded hash browns, I felt like I had to drown it in Cholula and salt to add flavor and then it started tasting okay. The hash browns were mushy. We also ordered the strawberry Nutella French toast and it was just okay. Cool interior and table concept, and only memorable thing for me was the orange juice. read more

Such a nostalgic spot for me! I grew up in the area and have gone here since being in HS. When I have guest in town, this is one of the first places I think of taking them. The food portions are HUGE and the cost isn't too bad either. We all got scrambles / omelets and they really don't hold back. The quality is still amazing and all my friends loved it. The service was quick and there wasn't a wait on a Friday morning. read more

Been coming to Skillet'z for years and it will always remain a nostalgic brunch spot for me! Located in the charming Niles area, parking is nearby with a lot. Lines form on the weekends but it moves fast. They take your order outside so that the food comes out soon after being seated which is nice and efficient. The inside is cozy and decorated throughout with the tables scattered with business cards, photos, and more that are placed by patrons which is a nice touch to make the experience more casual and family-like. The food always hits with generous portions and great service. Definitely a charming and go-to spot for me that I highly recommend! read more
This place was so mid. Yes they're fast but that doesn't make up for their lack of good customer service. We weren't checked up on once, asked for a small plate when the food was dropped off and never got it. The bill was thrown on one of the plates that still clearly had food on it. We got a decoto scramble and had to had more salt and cholula to make it good. The French toast wasn't anything special. The best thing we had was the fresh OJ. Cool interior of the restaurant, people put their business cards in the tables. read more
HUGE portions! I got the Mexican fried steak which had cheese and chorizo atop the fried steak. It came with a good portion of hash browns and two over easy eggs. I upgraded my bread to a biscuit with gravy, which had two! Surprisingly, everything by itself (even the side of salsa) was bland. The three different hot sauces at the side of the table helped liven things up a bit. Reservations accepted on weekdays, which were easy to make on Yelp a day prior for an impromptu breakfast meetup with a couple of friends. Good service. Overall, a solid 3.5 stars. read more
Popular breakfast spot in Niles, but nothing to write home about and I probably won't be back. Large portions, but nothing special about each of the dishes. Service on a weekday morning took awhile to place our order, but once we ordered, food -Corned Beef Hash and Eggs (3/5) - the corned beef was tasteful and I got it with onions and peppers, which added more flavor. The house potatoes were cooked well, but not too crispy. -Banana pancake (3/5) - good for a banana pancake. Pancakes here are LARGE, but I felt like it was just alright. read more
My friends and I have been meeting here for brunch for years and it is still our favorite spot! Theres always been a wait when I go no matter what day it is, but they are very fast with taking orders and getting food out once seated. They have a big indoor seating area as well as an outdoor patio in the back. I've tried many items but my recent favorite is the patty melt! Love their pancakes and drinks too. My friends usually get a scramble and they are always satisfied! read more
5 stars all around!! Food is comforting, delicious and has a large variety! The service is so EFFICIENT!!! Before you're seated, they take your order. Once you're seated, your food is basically already being delivered to you!! A+ service for real!! We sat in the back patio which is covered and super cute! They were playing an old school throwbacks radio station and the vibes were perfect for a chill brunch day with husband, baby and dog. Love love love this local spot and will for sure be back! read more

My favorite breakfast spot! I love the Skillet Special! Added hash browns this time which was amazing, nice crisp and just enough salt. Pancakes were huge and so soft! The service as always is quick for quick turnover, especially on a Sunday Morning. read more
Ordered the deluxe chicken fried steak and eggs, and the Monte Cristo sandwich. Been here a couple times, definitely my favorite brunch/breakfast foods place. They give you huge portions, so there are always leftovers, but the food itself is always so well seasoned and satisfying. There are a lot of Mexican inspired menu items that are quite unique to this place, hard to go wrong with any of the menu items here! read more
The wait on Saturday morning wasn't too bad about 15-20 minutes for 4. They take your order while you're waiting. When ordering the short stack pancakes. The lady asked what fruit wanted but didn't say it wasn't included until the bill came extra $3 bucks. The food came out pretty quickly within 10 minutes but no utensils. We had to flag someone down for utensils. No jam on table either for all the toast. The other server went to check on table next to us but our girl never came back after taking order. As far as the food, it was good. The service could be better all around. read more

Came in on a Monday morning while running errands. They have their own private lot so parking is easy to come by. Service was good and food came out really quick. Portions size for the price is absolutely worth it. I don't often take left overs home, but my omelette plus has browns and toast was easily split into two meals. The only part was that service started to lack toward the end as we were waiting a while for someone to come by and take my card. Easily forgivable due to great service and great food overall. read more
Come here on Sunday for their Fremont Restaurant week. Is crowded but the servers are a very efficient. Order while waiting so the food came not long after you sit down. The restaurant week special is the breakfast special with eggs, sausage or bacon with Oreo pancakes and Oreo milk shake. The portion is high, food is so yummy. ambiance is cute, old school style. read more
It feels good coming back here! There were many people in line. The first time I came here, there wasn't because I came earlier. They have us fill in our names and times we come here and then seated us based on the party. Luckily for me since I'm the only one dining here, I was the first one to be called in. They make us order before we get seated depending on the party size. I heard that they have a patio section, but unsure where it is because I've never seen it. I heard that we have to walk around the restaurant and it's all the way at the back. The restaurant is small and makes me wonder how can they fit a lot of people inside. The corned beef is different compared to other breakfast restaurants. It's mushier and they served us salsa, but that's probably for the potatoes. For the hot coffee, they gave me a large cup. Usually, restaurants serve us small ones. I made my promise to come back here but it's been almost two years now. I'll try to come here a little more often. read more
Skillet'z is a cute brunch spot in the heart of the historic Niles district. My bf and I arrived here around 10:30 on Memorial Day and there were already a lot of people waiting out front. There is a decent sized parking lot adjacent to the cafe but it quickly filled up as soon as we left. There is also street parking available. We wrote our name down on a clipboard out in front of the restaurant. There was an employee that went down the wait list and took people's orders, which I found quite efficient. While you wait, I suggest perusing the menu and deciding what to order. We got really lucky and only had to wait around 10-15 minutes to get seated. Since we had already placed our orders while waiting outside, we didn't have to wait too long until our food arrived once we were seated. I ordered the Decoto Loaded Hash Browns with a side of wheat toast. The portions were huge but I was surprisingly able to finish the majority of it. The loaded hash browns came with sauteed veggies, sliced avocado, a spicy pepper and two eggs cooked to your preference. The side of salsa paired well with the dish and I liked how the toast was already buttered. My bf ordered Charlie's burrito with chorizo. It looked like a hefty and filling burrito. I took a bite of it and wished there was more chorizo than potato in the burrito. It also came with a side of sliced jalapenos and salsa. We also shared their drink of the day which was an oreo matcha. It was basically a shake and really good! Once you're done, take your receipt to the counter and pay for your meal. Overall, a decent brunch spot with big portions. read more

My friends and I came here for brunch, and we were blown away by the service and food. The hostess was incredibly friendly and patient with our group, even though I was running a little late, she didn't seem bothered at all. As soon as I arrived, my friend let her know our full party was there, and while we waited for our table, we were able to place our order. The efficiency here is impressive. One of our friends was visiting for the first time, and he couldn't believe how quickly our food came out, it was ready within minutes of us sitting down! The food was absolutely delicious. We all ordered different dishes, and everything was spot on. I always get the Rosa Bravo, it's my go-to and paired it with an iced caramel latte, which was perfect. A special shoutout for the hash browns: I always ask for them extra crispy, and most places don't get it right, but they nailed it here! One friend ordered the Oreo milkshake. We were a little unsure if it was supposed to have bananas in it, but he still really enjoyed it. The decor was super cute, and all the servers were warm and welcoming. We're already looking forward to coming back! read more

Passed by Skillet'z in Niles and randomly stopped in for brunch--so glad I did! Everything we ordered was actually really good and hit the spot. The Bravo omelet was super soft and fluffy, loaded with mushrooms, tomatoes, avocado, and bacon--really fresh and not heavy at all. The New York steak sandwich was super satisfying, with big chunky pieces of steak and avocado that made it extra good. And the coulotte steak was cooked perfectly--tender, flavorful, and just really well done overall. Definitely a great little brunch spot if you're in the area. read more

How many eggs are in their omelette and scrambled egg dishes?
Between Saturday or Sunday, which day is the easiest for parking? Do they have a private lot to park?
Sunday is slightly easier for parking. There is a weekly Saturday Farmer's Market that is down the street which draws in large crowds.. The two parking lots in Niles are public parking, and there's usually plenty of street parking as well on the…
What is the average wait for a party of 4 for breakfast on a Saturday morning?
The couple of times I went on a Saturday it was no more than a 15-20min wait. While you're waiting they take your order. When they do seat you, they're bringing you your food.
What are the vegan options? This place is tagged as having vegan options, but I don't see anything on the menu photos, and no menu on the website ;(
I'd call to find out. The menu is large so I'm sure you can either custom make something or it is there, and you are not seeing it. Sorry I could not be of more assistance.
How long are the waits Sunday morning?
My experience is that there is always a wait time on weekends. But they do. Good job at expediting as much as possible. Food is worth it too.
How is parking in this area?
There is also a good amount of street parking available. Saturday mornings are the busiest in this area since they also have a small farmer's market then.
Did you guys reopen for outdoor dining again? My friends and I are planning on having breakfast there this coming Sunday the 21st. Pls respond when you can. thank you
They were open a few weeks ago so I suppose they still are. There were many parties waiting. I'd text the number since they seem to prefer that for ordering just to confirm with them.
Anyone know if they take reservations now with the limited outdoor tables?
They do not take reservations, its a first come first serve basis. But they are super fast.
Can they accommodate a group of 25-30 on a Saturday late morning?
I would call them and see. Saturday's are extremely busy there because it's so good!
Do they have gluten free options?
I'm not sure, but I'm sure you can ask for substitutions
Are they dog friendly? (I searched "dog friendly restaurants", and they came up but I don't see any pics or info)
They're totally dog friendly. The owner LOVES dogs. There are water bowls out front at all times. Dogs are allowed through the back entrance on the lovely back patio and are…
Are they open a Christmas Day 2017?
Yes, they were. If you went on Google, it said so.
