Once we sat down…read moreand opened the menu.. we should have left.. when there are too many items on a menu.. that's usually a bad sign. We stayed anyway and ordered a cheese burger because we were hungry and My personal rule of thumb is if they make a great hamburger then I would come back to try other food items. Ignoring my rule about too many menu items. It was a mistake.. sorry Skillet Diner.. your cook may need some more skills. It's not easy to prepare all the different types of meals on the menu.. My advice, cut back on the salt.. salty burger and the French fries.. wow!

We were in the care In 5 minutes headed to Renae's cafe. The food is consistently good. One of my friends did not eat meat, but she had lots to choose from. Service is above and beyond. We had Vanessa who is the best waitress in town. Never even got to half a cup of coffee and it was already filled back up. This place is very clean. It is very busy. Think neighborhood cafe busy. The staff keeps up. We even got to see Renea the owner . If you haven't been, what are you waiting for?? You will not regret coming. Go here now

Okay please don't come after me on this one. My hubby and I needed our calories back after our…read moremorning workout. It was my choice to come here based on the reviews but both of us were really disappointed. First of all some items are only available certain times of the month, which was a letdown because I really wanted to have something they didn't have that day. Walking in you have to write your name down on a sheet of paper for the wait list, then you are called and taken to you table. Service is Friendly, establishment is clean and spacious for a small place. The menu offers variety. The coffee is a solid 10/10 and so is the orange juice. The food- I had the country fried steak with over medium eggs, country potatoes and biscuits and gravy. My rating for my meal was a 4/10. There was no real flavor in the gravy & the sausage they used used as umph was just savorless meat. The biscuits were bulky, tough but fresh. The fried steak lacked so much seasoning, both meat and the coating/batter. The potatoes were not steaming hot and the steak was thin and tough. My baby had the chile verde skillet and he was SHOCKED the skillet wasn't even HOT. As you can cleary see in the pictures the cheese wasn't even melted ‍ and again the skillet was cool to the touch. Chile verde has good flavor but the ordering a skillet and it being cold threw the mind off lol. Omg the salsa that they offer just tasted like tomato water, no flavor and definitely no heat. No huevo rancheros and no open face sandwich was available the day we went. I'm sorry but Idk how people are giving this place such high reviews with the vapid food they are serving. Needless to say my hubby and I will not be returning. If you're wondering why hubby finished his food, it's because we really needed to get our calories back lol and we hate having to have our money go to waste.

The place looked clean and organized too. We ordered the following; - hot chocolate: tasted like a super watered down powdered nesquick. We took a sip and put it aside. - biscuits and gravy: the biscuits were soggy and crumbling. Gravy was bland too - monte cristo: had a very weird aftertaste. The ham did not taste good at all and it did not taste like any other monte cristos I've had before -pancake: it was mid. Nothing special The service was top tier but food was not it at all.

I had the General's Old Fashioned Ham. Three eggs cooked to your preference, hash browns or country style potatoes, one-pound of ham and your choice of toast, pancakes or biscuit. The ham piece is enormous and definitely enough for leftovers. 5/5 My friend ordered the tri-tip salad with Italian dressing. The meat was tender and greens consisting of chopped romaine lettuce. The salad was served with a side of garlic toast. 4/5 Service is always good and waitstaff come around frequently for beverage refills. The ambiance is very casual.

The Chile Verde was delicious, very flavorful and the eggs were well cooked, not overdone. My wife loved the pancakes, the cream cheese was a touch thick but she still enjoyed it.

Reasonably priced compared to similar businesses and it's very nice inside. Definitely recommend giving it a try if you haven't already.

I found this place and we had like 40 minutes to get there before they closed. As we started to drive there we were wondering if the GPS was taking us on a wild ride because we ended up driving on some rural roads and thought, there's no way there's a restaurant back here but a few minutes later we arrived to a cute rustic looking caboose looking café. The interior was authentic and rustic and even smelled like real food being cooked on a griddle smell. Our waitress came right over and welcomed us to sit wherever we want to. Their menu was homemade country filled items. I ordered the Club Sandwich which was their daily special and I went with their potatoe salad which is something I don't like to order because it's one of those items that I'm never really sure if its going to be homemade or store bought. My husband went with the cheeseburger and fries. It didn't take long for our meal to arrive. I loved how the plates didn't match, just like at home lol, and the potato salad was homemade and it was good. My Club Sandwich was good and the vegetables were California fresh. My husband said his cheeseburger was cooked right and tasted like it was cooked on a seasoned grill. I definitely know if when we are back in the area, we definitely will be coming back to this little spot.
