Art's Skillet - Art's skillet with French toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Very affordable prices, good portions and friendly staff! We came in at 9am on a Sunday and our party of 6 was able to get seated right away. By the time we left around 10:30 they were packed! The staff was attentive and kind and you could tell that's always the expectation. I had cinnamon roll pancakes and a scrambler. I had enough food to share and take some home! My daughter had the kids quesadillas and they were packed with cheese! She loved it! And for 8$ for a kids meal and drink, we'll definitely be back. My son had the kids chocolate chip pancakes. He's 10 and growing so I'd opt for a full order of pancakes the next time we go for him instead of the kids meal, but he thought it was delicious. My husband had the Art Sampler with eggs, pancakes, potatoes and bacon. Didn't leave a crumb! read more

Went here for Sunday morning breakfast with the family. Had a skillet, nothing special, kinda bland. Pancakes were pancakes... again nothing special. Food was not cold but definitely not hot. It was busy of corse, being Sunday morning. Our server was nice, treated us well. Everyone was very polite happy and helpful. The prices and the food is pretty standard. I have nothing particularly good or bad to say. read more

went to eat at Art's skillet restaurant on Pendleton Pike and noticed after I consumed my food 3 fly strips hanging between each ceiling light above the counter seating area...OMG!!!! very disgusting to see this...I went to look further to even see some dead flies still attached to the strips while customers were eating their food... maybe the customers did not notice but I did. could the restaurant be more courteous by concealing this bothersome fly problem? Yes... buy some Zebo plug in fly traps. read more

This place is always on my mind when I think of breakfast. One of the first places I really liked when I moved here 5 years ago. It almost always packed and the French toast lives rent-free in my brain. The ambiance is great. Nice folks running a nice place to grab food. read more

For Starters I'm giving the 1 star for not waiting for my food. The wait time was very unexpected! It's probably because the food was very cold! But.... Then it was unreal as to what happened next! A waitress was braiding the hair of another waitress, right in the dining area where customers were eating!!!! Seriously! What a way to get the board of health to close your business!!! Very unprofessional and unsanitary!!! Maybe some common sense should be used in running a restaurant! Just saying! My first time here, My last time here! If you want to eat in a one stop hair shop. This is the place! SMH read more

We were in from out of town and wanted something local before we moved on, and arts fit the bill. I consider myself somewhat of a Reuben snob- I've had some really great ones, and a lot of really terrible ones. Im glad to say Art's didn't disappoint- the Reuben was exactly what you should expect from a Reuben- the corned beef was actually juicy and tender, the dressing and kraut were balanced also- puts it in the top 5 I've ever had. Give it a try! read more

Art is a very small little diner, and it was packed when I went in. I really like the diner vibe and the waitress was very helpful with telling me recommendations. I ordered one of the skillets and I have to say I didn't like it. I am sure somebody else would like it, but it had too much stuff on it and it was a little bit greasy, but I also ordered half a waffle and it was delicious. The waitress was very kind and attentive so although I didn't enjoy the skillet that I had I am sure I would enjoy other things so I may be back. Give it a try if you're ever in Lawrence. read more

This is a gem located in the East side of Indianapolis. They have got a lot of varieties on the menu and quite a few vegetarian options as well. Their customer service was good. Their ambience is good and they are very busy on a Sunday morning. They have a huge parking space outside where this restaurant is located. They have outdoor seating too. There is dine in option which is business casual and family friendly. The banana oatmeal was delish!!!! Definitely a must try place. read more

Wow! I was so impressed with the quality of service and food here. It is a quaint little stand alone building that will not disappoint! I normally get a basic breakfast when dining out and play it safe with an egg and cheese sandwich, but decided to venture out with the turkey skillet. Every flavor worked flawlessly together! The broccoli was charred perfectly, the mushrooms had the perfect umami balance, and the almonds were toasted to perfection! My friend opted for the biscuits and gravy and said the gravy was salted perfectly and the biscuits were the best he has had in a long time. When we left he said... "any time you want to come back, call me. I'll be here." We look forward to returning! read more

Always looking for a diner for breakfast when I travel. Arts definitely fit the Bill. This is a neat little diner with a small bar area. It wasn't very busy the day myself and a colleague stopped in. We were waited on right away. I will say the coffee is pretty darn good. I had a Mexican breakfast bowl with chorizo and jalapeños. Extremely tasty. My colleague chose an omelette, which was also very good. We were here pretty early and a few other local started coming in before we left. I would definitely come back to art. It was actually pretty good overall. read more

We were running errands and stopped in Art's skillet by chance. We are glad we did. Several people were seated but when walked in and we were immediately greeted and taken to a booth. The restaurant was clean and nicely decorated. Even the menu was clean and showed no finger prints. I ordered Chiliquailles with medium eggs. Eggs were perfect. I haven't had anything this good since Mexico. My husband ordered waffles with chicken. The chicken was 1/2 of chicken and the waffles were Belgian. My husband really liked it. Our waitress was friendly, outgoing and very attentive. Often times people overlook restaurants on Pendleton Pike. This restaurant should not be passed by! Not one complaint start to finish. Will we go back? You betcha! read more

Not many places have surprised me so much. I stopped by on my lunch break and was sat immediately. Had my food in front of me in less than 20 minutes. (Peep the photo) Gotta be the best fries I've had in the area and the chicken sandwich was fire. The cheese was completely melted and bacon was perfectly crisp. Best of all the total was $12 dollars I mean wow! The place was moderately full with families, retirees, and people on their lunch break. Lots of interesting artwork on the wall too. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Honestly would be a top ten recommendation for me in the Indianapolis area read more

When in need of comfort food, Art's is the place to go!! My heart was heavy and my soul needed nourishment so we searched the internet for the right place and found Art's! It was meant to be! We were greeted and sat right away although they were very busy! Plenty of friendly staff always around though, we never wanted for anything. Our service was super friendly with a genuine smile and obvious concern for our experience. And yes, the food is as good as the service! We started with the nice warm cinnamon roll to put a smile on my face and start the healing process! It hit the spot!! My ultimate comfort food is country fried steak and eggs so of course that;s what I ordered! To my delight, the gravy is actually sausage gravy, not that stuff out of a packet or can!! Everything was perfect, absolutely perfect! Hubby got a skillet and couldn't even finish it they are so big and filling! I must say, probably the best breakfast I've ever had, it was really that good! Very highly recommend! read more

rude customer service. first time on this earth apparently. food is always good but i'd avoid going inside. doordash it.

Very welcoming, nice environment, clean, food is always excellent, coffee is always hot and delicious. Ownership is absolutely superb!

Art's Skillet is a great place to have breakfast, the waitresses are polite and do a great job. The food is made to order and the service is quick, We have been eating there for over 3 years and never had one complaint about anything. The pricing is below all the big name breakfast places. read more

I'm not impressed!! I pull up in the parking lot to meet friends from work this morning for breakfast and the lot has empty plastic bottle trash everywhere! I get that we had high winds last night but thats no excuse! Send someone out with a pick up the trash with a pickup tool! and clean up that trash! I did go to the bathroom so I can't say but the building needs paint and some up grading like 5 yrs ago! It's a dump! And the food isn't amazing and he has 2 restaurants! A waffle and hash browns was all I had nothing to drink. I don't have to go to Arts again. read more

Yesterday, I went to brunch with my twin brother and husband. We wanted to check out something near my Twin's neighborhood and Art's Skillet is just a hop, skip, and, a jump from him. We walked in about 12 noon, had a slow start to my morning and didn't get out the door as quickly as planned, and when I arrived I was literally starving, only drank my hot tea all morning no food yet. We walked inside and were seated right away, when I tell you we weren't even standing up front for one minute, I'm not exaggerating. But that didn't mean their weren't customers, this place was full and busy. Didn't feel cramped or anything like that. Plenty of seating for our small party or a family if you want to bring your entire crew. Our waiter was a true gentleman, he was funny and super efficient. This is a Latin-owned restaurant I believe, so our waiter spoke English and Spanish. I took Spanish a good chunk of my grade school and secondary school so it's always refreshing to catch up on some of that in the community. Our drinks and orders came out in less than 5 minutes when I tell you they were on it, they were ON IT! This was perfect for me since I decided not to eat all morning. I ordered the Art's Combo Platter which is basically a 2x2x2 style breakfast platter. The pancakes were just ok (they didn't taste very pillowy or soft, and were a bit grainy), but the scrambled eggs were cooked well, and the bacon strips were crispy. I ordered potatoes with my platter, and they were fried, but I could tell they added salt and that was honestly too much. My advice, ask them to hold the extra salt on the potatoes. Everything eaten together tasted like your typical diner breakfast, and it was hot and ready. Enough food to take some home if you would like and you cannot beat the prices! Very good prices for the amount of food you actually get. Oh and did I mention the MENU! They have one of the largest selections for a menu I have ever seen! Enough options, for the picky eaters, regular eaters, heavy eaters, and light eaters. Their menu spans the entire spectrum of breakfast and lunch offerings, and they also serve Fajitas! I would give the actual food a 3.5 star rating overall, and I gave the overall experience a 4 star rating because their service was truly superb! It's loud in this restaurant so if you are looking for a quiet spot this isn't the place. It's nice to gather for another meal with my twin brother, and we agreed this restaurant is now a staple for us! 03/19/22 - Jackie M. read more

The restaurant was pretty empty, and We were immediately seated upon arrival. Our server was nice and personable. We started with the fried biscuits and they were hot and delicious. The service (food prep) was slow. I ordered the meat lovers skillet with French toast. The skillet was delicious, but Almost cold. The French toast was just awful. I hope that it was just a bad day, because I should've asked for a refund. The French toast tasted like cooked bread, without any flavor. I had my husband take a taste as well, and he was shocked and felt the same way . My husband ordered the same (meat lovers) skillet but with scrambled eggs, and pancakes. He wasn't a fan of the pancakes, but enjoyed the skillet. Overall, I'd try this out place again, just for the fried biscuits and possibly the skillet. Again, we had a very friendly server! 5 stars for the server! read more

Stopped in for brunch today with a friend. It was a very popular place just by the parking lot. They also seem to do a lot of takeout. We were seated quickly and the server was efficient and kind. The menu has plenty of variety. Do note that the prices in the menu are not accurate. It was a bit confusing and the only negative. Inside of the restaurant is small so be prepared for a wait. We both ordered the meat lovers skillet. I really enjoyed mine. The food came out pretty quick and tasted hot and fresh. I would definitely return again. read more

I feel like this is an undiscovered East side gem. Although their seating protocol seems odd (20 minute wait to sit at the same table outside that had been empty the whole time we were waiting) once we were seated the food was worth the wait. We started with the fried biscuits. Delicious. Tons of powdered sugar and the orange marmalade cinnamon syrup is so good! Crazy bad for you but so delicious! The Navy Seal skillet was amazing. Needed some ketchup and hot sauce to cut through the cheesy potatoey richness. The sourdough was perfectly toasted and buttered. Strawberry jam (and an orange marmalade) option topped it perfectly. The chicken fried steak was well seasoned, maybe a tad heavy on the breading- but it was cooked great. The hash browns were fairly standard (I wish we had tried the skillet potatoes- they looked great!) and the egg was just fine. The side of French toast was so delicious and well seasoned. Plenty of close parking and the service was excellent! First time- but not the last! read more

We were in the area for errands and saw great reviews for Art's. The space inside seemed small so we asked to sit outside. Our server was with us pretty quickly to get our drinks. Our food did take some time to be ready but it was busy. I ordered the bohemian skillet which had mushrooms, onions, ham. The food was hot and good. I got a side of toast as well. There was a slight mixup with my check but they handled it quickly. Overall I would suggest coming here! read more

My wife and I went to this restaurant. The coffee was OK. The food was tasty flavorful however, some of the staff members were less than courteous. One of them was ready to fight for the tables that they were going to serve. I understand that they may get money off the tables that they serve in the tips that they make. However, there are other customers there that felt very uncomfortable, and I felt that it was beginning to be kind of ghetto as my wife when I were prepared to leave over I was a nice experience except for hearing F bombs while trying to eat my plate read more

A gem of a Diner, Art's Skillet boasts a diverse menu that will keep you interested for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. I was visiting the area and decided to stop in for lunch. The restaurant was busy but not crowded. I tried the MYO omelet ( chorizo, cream cheese, and avocado) with hash browns and pancakes. It was delicious. My server Carlos did a great job. The restaurant is nothing fancy but appears to appeal to a broad range of customers. If I am ever in the area again, I will stop in to try out something else on the menu. Thanks for the great meal! read more

I came early around 6:40 on a Monday morning and it was almost empty except for a few groups dining in. As soon as we walked in, the lady ushered us to a booth by a window. It was clean inside. Organized and spotless. The TV was showing the local news. It was rainy that morning too. Not sure how busy they get, but there were plenty of parking spots by the building. I ordered the surfer skillet, which was potatoes, eggs, avocado, sundried tomatoes, basil, cheddar and jack cheese. So so good! And filling! The potatoes were cut up into slightly large chunks. I must've eaten a whole potato! It comes with a side of either pancakes or toast. I chose the pancakes and they gave me two. How generous! I don't see pancakes as a side often. And all for $7.99! What a steal!! My sister got Arts Combo Platter. It had a choice of either pancakes or French toast, of which she got the French toast, two eggs, bacon or sausage, of which she got bacon. She enjoyed it as well! And also a good price at $7.29! Not bad at all! A few more people came into the diner around 7, but of course, it didn't get all that busy. It was still so early. You pay over by the door. The lady was super nice and made conversation with us. I really enjoyed my time here. I wouldn't mind coming again. Their menu is so extensive! I'm sure you'd be able to feed all kinds of people, even the pickiest eater you know will leave pleased! read more
