Used to come here for special brunch when we lived in Columbus. We brought every guest here and it was always delicious. Came in for brunch on a random Friday. Still amazing and without a crazy long line. I strongly suggest the biscuits and gravy, and their black iced coffee is the best I’ve ever had.

The food is beyond delicious. It always has been and I am happy to report that even in a paper to go container the flavor and quality are still there. Sadly, though, the rest of the restaurant experience is gone. We hadn’t been in awhile since we don’t live in Columbus anymore, but finding ourselves in German village we were excited to get back there…..And then we walked in the front door. The tables were covered in piles of take out trash, and I soon saw why, the new self service ordering system! Had I known about the changes I would have ordered take out to then take back to our Airbnb to plate and eat, but since we were there, we tried it. The ordering system is slow and clunky, I had to pass my phone around to others to add to the order, and then pay in entirety before submitting the order. I would have had another drink, but it was too much of a hassle to go through the ordering system again, we couldn’t get coffee refilled, no water was offered and in fact tap water was a menu item for $1.50, your food is unceremoniously plopped down in front of you with a plastic tray and your food truck paper containers, all at once. There’s no more slowly savoring your scone and coffee while you’re waiting on your main. It’s “here you go, now eat and go” I hope they can figure this out because the food is DIVINE and I don’t want this food to not exist in this world, but the experience was really not lovely. I will 10000% come back and revise this review if they go back to using dishes and servers.

I’m going to have to add on to the recent reviews. Skillet has been a wonderful place to visit since I moved to Columbus. The food is top notch. Pricey, yes. But it was a splurge I figured was worth it. Recently, it’s a serve yourself setup. My omelette comes in a cardboard food truck container that completely takes away from the experience. Before, it was plated nice, perfectly folded over omelette with micro greens on top. Now? It’s just thrown into a to go container. Serve yourself water is the same size as Dixie cups you use for mouthwash. And a $8 coffee which is the cinnamon roll latte (usually to die for) is served in a GFS paper cup now. Not sure we will be going back based on these new changes. Hopefully this feedback finds its way to create change again.

Changes the menu everyday?! This quaint but very pleasing restaurant offered us a nice breakfast this morning. Wondering how well they do on a daily basis, I was impressed with my biscuits and gravy and the French toast. The French toast was plentiful big and fluffy paired with a whipped butter and maple syrup. The biscuits were just as big in size and I'm glad I settled with only one instead of two! The chicken gravy was so flavorful and had a beautiful color. Seriously delicious. All of it! The cinnamon roll coffee was not to sweet but also not over bearing in coffee or espresso taste, just executed nicely. I love I got to see them purchasing local, they have an Amish van pull up front with a delivery of their fresh quality ingredients like eggs and bread! I have to return soon to try more dishes, I'm impressed.

We just ate at Skillet for the first time and loved it! Owner is super nice, and the restaurant is small, intimate and charming. Coffees are super good (Cinnamon Bun Latte - hot, Cold Brew with Maple honey to sweeten). My wife and I both ordered the Pimento Omelet, and it was very delicious; our daughter had the Cheesy Hashbrowns - also very delicious. I must comment that the plates of other food coming out of the kitchen looked soooo delicious! Will definitely be back here MUCH more. 😃👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
