Solid 4 stars.
The other reviews are quite interesting...I suspect that several are fake.
Yeah, and I'd pay little attention to the (unintentionally funny) most recent 1 star reviews. "Dog shit...fitting for Toledo?"
Fitting for Toledo? Fitting for Toledo??Dude...fuck you and your single Mickey Mouse review consisting of 1 short paragraph. And, fuck your GF who wrote the other horse shit review on the same day. Alrighty then...
One of other one star reviews focuses on rude service. The guy that wrote it? 7 out of his 8 reviews are 1 star...all based on poor service. Hey, I get it though. Could be a legit gripe. But, I didn't see any of that. For us, the service was accurate, very fast and very friendly. One caveat...we got there just before a flood of customers. If we'd gotten there 20 minutes later, I suspect we'd have had to wait.
Atmosphere. Clean, comfortable. Yeah, the decorations, especially the wall decorations are, uh, predictable but eclectic. Farmhouse style signs, signed pics of athletes, Toledo street scenes from across the decades, UT stuff, etc. but like I said, clean and comfortable.
The food rates a solid 4 stars. This rating also takes into account the massive menu. Lots of options. The smothered and covered hash browns were great. My son enjoyed the country fried steak, and said that it stacks up favorably to others in town. His eggs needed pepper and salt. My Denver omelet? Excellent. The coffee did NOT taste like dishwater...it tasted like diner coffee. Would I come here for coffee only? Nope.
Location: On Bancroft near the 7/11. Very convenient for hung over UT students. This place has been a black hole for diners ever since Rick moved out to Monroe street. Hopefully Steven's Skillet will be around for a while.
