Heads up!
In order to provide the safest work environment possible for the team we will no longer accept cash. We gladly take Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and other forms of touchless payment.

The award-winning Skillet Diner opened in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle in 2011. We’re a neighborhood joint doing our best to make the place feel relaxed, service attentive and easy; the food approachable yet focused. We use fresh, locally sourced ingredients. The style of food is similar to what we’re known for on the airstream …the difference? we have so much more room! Items range from our fennel-crusted fried chicken and waffle to our burger with bacon jam, arugula, and bleu cheese, to our legendary kale Caesar salad.

Seating policy: We require your whole party be present to be sat.

    Brunch here is always good! The bacon is some of the best in Seattle. Portions are large...so plan accordingly. It's lively the way any good diner should be.

    The staff here is totally outstanding and caring... really wonderful. The food is always delicious. I always appreciate being able to make a reservation using Open Table. I would eat here every meal every day IF I could !!! But, I live 25 miles away and so I meet a special friend here for a special treat. Thank you for providing such a comforting and welcoming dining venue for two long time friends to gather and catch up while dining on delicious and well prepared food. We will return !!!

    We were disappointed that their Monkey Bread isn't actually Monkey Bread, and more like a very dry cinnamon roll with frosting. Other than that, everything else was great!

    Waffles weren’t cooked due to a broken machine, and when we asked for a different item they really wanted us to have the waffles still? We did but they still weren’t very good. They comped a plate of waffles but I wish they had just had us order something else as soon as there was a problem.
