No Mo' Cash
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.

    food was extremely mid, ordered my eggs medium/hard (mentioned not runny) and they were sent out over easy. sent them back and ordered the scramble w/ bacon… eggs came undercooked and I just ate the breakfast potatoes. My brother found two mustache hairs in his meal but didn’t want to send his order back since I already had an issue with mine. With drinks included the breakfast came to $90 before tip. My brother requested a receipt and they didn’t bring one. We got out of there. Never again! This is what I get for cheating on Glo’s 🫠

    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!
