Excellent service and food. Especially the Thursday special, Chicken and Dumplings. Breakfast also great.

We really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. It felt cozy, and the staff was very friendly. The food was good and filling. Great portions. Would definately come here again. Only gave 4 star cause my son doesn't don't like his potatoes. read more

Food was good. American, something for everyone. Extensive menu. We were disappointed because we had company from out of town and wanted a on the water restaurant, but failed. read more

I just went in for a simple breakfast of grits, coffee and orange juice with a friend. Amazing grits! But the service was exceptional. Thank you! Clean, quaint restaurant. Very welcoming as soon a we stepped in read more

I haven't had anything that I did not enjoy! Service is always great. My favorite is a spinach omelet with feta or gyro. When craving fish, I go on Fridays for the seafood lunch special. Yummy!! read more

You need to be in a Galveston frame of mind (at least a little inebriated, close your eyes to local corruption, cross fingers that local inspector actually enforced the codes), in order to enjoy these establishments. The meal was good, I didn't have food poisoning, and the drinks ok. Ambience is what you might expect on a weeknight, as you can tell, I'm not my vibe. Although we're sitting at the bar, difficult to be served, maybe they're shorthanded. read more

Food Service Ambiance All amazing been going here for years. Always been top notch read more

The best down home diner-style breakfast, brunch, and lunch place in the area with decent portions and decent prices. The shrimp poboy and fries came out piping hot. The shrimp poboy came with a tangy aioli instead of tartar sauce. The biscuits are larger than the size of your fist and perfectly fluffy and browned at the same time. The onion rings are also ginormous. They don't have sweet tea, you order the iced tea and add sugar yourself. The only really downside is they're not open for supper. read more

Time and again, Skipper's faces hurricane after hurricane, yet it stands strong and continues to be a beacon of resilience. This place is truly remarkable, serving incredible Greek food that warms the heart. After more than 30 years, Skipper has never disappointed with a meal. It's not just a restaurant; it's an institution in the Clear Lake area, a true classic that represents comfort and familiarity. The good food, friendly waitresses, and welcoming local atmosphere all contribute to a sense of happiness when dining here. I find eating at Skipper's to be an uplifting experience. Their brunch is exceptional--especially that Greek omelet, which is simply out of this world! It's a treasure worth celebrating! read more

Great place for breakfast. Friendly staff and relaxing atmosphere. Ordered the chopped steak and eggs along with grits, biscuits, and Greek coffee. Food is delicious, and biscuit is huge. Greek coffee is similar to Greek coffee. It is guaranteed to wake you up. I finished all of it except biscuit and grits. Also, I ordered a cheesecake. Did not get to finish it, and it is phenomenal. Plenty of parking. Place is generally packed all the time. Cannot wait to return. read more

Dropped in to Skippers Cafe for a quick breakfast. Ambiance super laid back, nice flow of people coming in/out...didn't wait long at all sat ourselves down when we arrived. We ordered some mimosas, coffee, tea...all very good. For breakfast/lunch we ordered the mushroom omelette. It was very good, lots of mushrooms and I added cheese. Ordered home fries and toast. Really good breakfast. My son had the hamburger patty and eggs, ordered his with grits...wasn't sure what to expect but he really enjoyed his dish. Dad orders the BLT and fries. Bacon was crispy, veggies were fresh. Fries were tasty. Also ordered the western omelette, home fries and biscuit...wasn't sure very good. Think they forgot the cheese in this one but gave us a side of salsa and we were good! Biscuit was big and fluffy...so much food though. Service was great, everyone was very friendly and hospitable. Also saw some of the staff sitting down and enjoying meals themselves...always a good sign to see employees eating at their own establishment enjoying their food. I am so sad I didn't get any pictures, but just gives us a reason to visit again! We will definitely be in soon to try some other tasty dishes when we are in the area. read more

The diversity of the menu will appeal to any palate. The food was as fresh as I have had in a while, especially where breakfast items are concerned. The service was impeccable with coffee refills ar every half cup. Although there was a line, it moved quickly and we were seated within 15 minure read more

Take out orders are not their favorite. I order 2 lunches . it should've came with the choice baked potatoes or mashed potatoes. Plus a salad.. They didn't ask which one I wanted and no salad included.. they just hung up. I think the mashed potatoes were instant it had no flavor.. The worst service and dull food ever. Never going back. It was drowned in gravy. read more

I went here breakfast the other day. Ordered the Cakes, Eggs n Meat option. Eggs were over-easy-Check. Slice of ham-Check. Pancakes-had a doughy and soft cosistency that soaked up syrup and made it dissappear into nothingness. It ended up dry almost even after adding more and more syrup. Good coffee and service. Waitress was nice and on top of her tables. read more

Not bad. Food quality is good and the service is great. The atmosphere is lacking but it is clean! Will be back, especially for breakfast.

To get eggs, bacon and a biscuit with gravy, plain gravy, not sausage gravy plain gravy is over $20 after tax. That's not even including the drink. This place is outrageous. The staff is always super friendly and the food is good but it's not worth 20 freaking dollars. read more

We are always on the search from great breakfast/brunch places & Skippers hit the spot. Our server Russell was great & was a fun start to the day. My husband Russ & he cracked me up with a story about a painting on the wall. I had 2 eggs with toast & bacon & of course I had to try the cottage cheese which was yummy. I am kind of picky about my cottage cheese & the last 2 places I had it was really good. My husband had a 2 eggs sandwich with bacon & grits. If I'm ever in the area again we will definitely go bacon& asl for Russell. read more

Breakfast this morning, I'm in Texas so I keep ordering chicken fried steak, and I continue to be underwhelmed with the gravy. Honestly, making a simple white gravy from scratch isn't that difficult, but unfortunately this place seems to be among the many that use canned gravy, or if not, undercooked rue. The gravy was bland, and floury.. which makes everything else bland. Eggs and hash browns were good, service was great, Allie took good care of us, even offered a fresh drink to go. I guess I need to lower my expectations for a good Texas chicken fried steak breakfast. read more

Warning: Skipper's uses styrofoam to go containers. Coffee is pretty bitter but service is prompt. Good local dive. The omelettes are pretty burnt - $12 without any cheese on the inside feels like I'm being overcharged. Good sized servings - 2 people could split one omelette plate easily. Ambiance feels like you're on a boat. The restaurant is clean with lots of parking. read more

This is a wonderful place, busy the entire time I was there. Very friendly Staff and I met and spoke with Skipper himself. My Breakfast was gerrrrrrrrate! Looking forward to going back. read more

Not only is the food bland and under seasoned, but these people basically have a Trump shrine in their restaurant. I got biscuits and sausage gravy which I had to pour salt, pepper, and hot sauce all over just to make edible. Idk how you manage to mess up pancakes but even they had little to no flavor. And to top it all off they have Trump dollars taped to the wall, bottles of Trump wine, and Let's go Brandon crap all behind the cash register. I see that their taste buds are about as refined as their critical thinking skills. read more

Excellent food!! After a hard night of living it up, we nestled in and found ourselves craving food! Staff is very friendly and on top of it! Everyone in our party loved what they got and no one is walking away not stuffed! I got the chicken fried steak with eggs! If there were more, I'd eat it!! Thanks for the awesome food and happy new year to you reading this!! 2024!! read more

Skipper's is a reliable breakfast place in my community. It's endured several major storms and floods (and renovations) since my family moved to League City in the early 90s. It's a solid, solid local restaurant. I had a long lunch break from work, so I met my husband there on a Friday afternoon. The restaurant was busy, but they still had tables open. I ordered the chicken-fried steak and eggs, and my husband got pancakes and bacon. The food came out quickly and it tasted good. The bacon they use is a thick cut, so your mileage may vary on that. The chicken-fried steak is very similar to Denny's. Again, the food isn't fancy, but it's solid. read more

Great way to start the day. FRESH , HOT COFFEE to go with bacon,eggs and toast . All cooked to perfection and served with a smile

Great breakfast place. Clean the waitress there when needed and the owner was watching over everything. Not my first time there.

Skippers Cafe is my Favorite and go to place for all my breakfast needs. I really enjoy coming here and I do make this my meet up place for business too. John, the owner, is so great. So nice and very welcoming. He keeps Al good staff and is always checking up on us. The Food is amazing. Never have had a bad meal here. Ambience is nice and welcoming. Always plenty of room to dine. I like that Skippers has a bar area too. Good food and good people. Forks up for Skippers!! read more

The place has a nostalgic diner vibe which I dig. The service was amazing. The food was ok on our first visit. I wasn't certain what I wanted so I was suggested to try the combo plate of French toast with eggs and a meat. Bacon was good, eggs were fine, needed seasoning, but the French toast was good yet sad. It was merely two slices of regular white bread cut diagonally and coated and cooked. I was hoping for at least Texas toast or maybe another piece making the dish complete versus a sampler for the price I paid. The small or half order of biscuit and gravy was monstrous. The gravy was a total let down. Not much flavor besides chicken stock. There were chucks of sausage in there but you can tell it was an after thought. Sometimes when you make better gravy it's just hard to find a comparable. read more

A little local, non chain restaurant you must visit. The staff was friendly and the food is delicious.

First off I ordered a Diet Coke and they only had Pepsi, so I said iced tea and all they had was unsweetened. So I said just a water is fine. I ordered off the breakfast menu, a cheese omelette with home fries and toast. Cheese omelette had like velvetta cheese that was not melted and consistency of mayonnaise. Toast wasn't buttered and we had to open these little butter packets along with jelly packets. It's a Greek diner so I ordered a baklava to go. The to go container was so lite I opened it in the car and for 3.95 a piece this is what it looks like. Usually Baklava resembles a triangle like an apple turnover. Anyway this is my review. I won't be going back. read more

Awfully or better to say no service.. I came in and stood waiting to be seated for a while another couple came in also and after a little longer hostice came and sat them and never even acknowledged I was there. .. the couple being seated recognized error and tried to get attention of hostice but she just walked away. I know I was a single and bill would not have been as large as a group but WTH. Last day of vacation and I was not going to ruin it by causing a seen. So I left but this is unexceptable . read more

Isn't the best greasy spoon on the planet but it is always packed and has good service. Another breakfast place that is hard to beat but it is hard to mess up breakfast read more

Food was ok -- not awful, not wonderful. No ambiance. But the service was excellent once they finally got around to me. And they're real proud of their so-so food: $17 and some change for an omelette and some not-quite-warm potatoes and a cup of coffee. I can't imagine I'll ever go back. read more

The food is delicious. The service is great. And the ambiance is fitting for the cafe. Will go back. Love the Greek wine! read more

Great service and good. Family of 7 and it was great service! Thank you for the pictures in the kids cup. My children loved it!

Great Home Cooking. Lunch Specials are awesome. Especially love the Friday night Leg of Lamb. If you want good home cooking this place is for you. read more

I really wanted to like it. But it was decent. I had some egg shells in my omelette and I just couldn't stomach it after that. I didn't mention it, because it totally happens, and I really wasn't liking the flavor of the eggs, so didn't want to get anything else. My husband also got an omelette and said it was "OK." He got a side of pancakes, and although they were huge and looked good, they were pretty bland and a tad bit chewy. I will say that my son's biscuits and gravy were pretty good! They were HUGE and that flavor ans sausage was spot on. It was a good alternative to IHOP, since we had gone for breakfast there the day previously, and wanted something different, but next time we will just do IHOP every morning. read more
