    The November season at the Skillet.
    Al M.

    This is Indiana...unvarnished and unpretentious...offering honest, hearty, down-home food just steps off the interstate. Stopped in at the Skillet for a quick lunch while traveling on business in the Hoosier state. Once seated, my co-worker and I were welcomed by the manager with a genuinely warm Indiana greeting and smile. Very nice touch! Other restaurants would be well served to take a page out of the Iron Skillet's book. Nice people here in the Heartland. My co-worker and I decided to jump for the bountifully stocked salad bar and lunch buffet as soon as we saw the roasted chicken and real mashed potatoes. Serving ourselves on pewter skillets doubling as plates, we loaded up for what promised to be a lunch that delivered big on both food and service...well in excess of Yelp's paltry 2.5 composite rating when we walked through the door (based on just 3 Reviews). It is satisfying knowing that as I post this 4-star review, the Skillet's overall Yelp rating will climb to a solid 3 stars. To me, the Skillet was nothing less than a 4-star experience all day long.

    Salad bar and buffet is pitiful, food was dry and stale. Order of the menu and stay away from the buffet.

    Thanks to the dishwasher we were welcomed and provided with glasses of ice water long before our…read moreserver appeared and our drink orders were taken. Kudos to him for observing and responding to the fact that we were seated and not yet greeted by our server. And yet, his attention to the situation is a check in the plus column for a decent restaurant that was unfortunately, seriously under staffed when we stopped by for dinner recently. It seems that the owner or manager was essentially handing ALL of the front of the house duties, as well as tending the bar -- greeting, seating, waiting on the table, making and serving drinks, running food, and handing payment at the end of the night. A child, apparently the owner/manager's daughter occasionally bussed some tables and strutted around wielding a fly swatter (though fortunately I didn't see any flies--but there was outdoor seating). I could only see one person in the kitchen (there could have been another but I'm not sure). All in all it meant everything was S-L-O-W. That said, we were the perfect group for the situation--a bunch of Boomer college friends fully engaged in conversation and reminiscing about the good old days -- which compensated -- to some degree -- the time we waited for service. Well, eventually things got rolling. Our drink order was taken along with an appetizer for the table. The drinks arrived after a reasonable amount of time. I ordered the house version of an old fashioned made with a bourbon distilled at a local/regional distillery. Tasty -- my only nitpick -- such drinks should be served with a LARGE chunk of ice, not a scoop of cubes from the ice machine. The appetizer for the table was the house crab dip -- an excellent choice for sharing and the flavor was spot on. For my entree I chose the lamb "lollipops." The three or four lamb chops were perfectly cooked, juicy, tender and unctuous -- really unctuous since the fat cap was not trimmed -- but as a great food critic once said, "meat without fat is dead protein -- so in short, the meat was bursting with flavor. The asparagus were nicely roasted. The sauce was rich and garlicky (thanks to confit cloves of garlic). It complemented the gaminess of the lamb perfectly, but the amount of sauce a bit more than necessary for a truly balanced composed dish. I still enjoyed it immensely and would order it again. (By the way, I was able to sample my wife's tuna. The 3/16 of an inch sear on the tuna was perfect and the rare interior was exactly how tuna should be cooked.) The owner/manager was appropriately apologetic about the pace of service and I will say that she, and the kitchen, did their best under the circumstances. As I mentioned, we were a good group because our goal was time together, not precisely timed service. I would hope another couple of employees could rectify the slow service and build their clientele because the food is quite good, the location is excellent and I loved the decor, especially the vintage outboard motors including one or two designed by the great industrial designer Brooks Stevens from Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

    The service, atmosphere, cocktails and food was absolutely fantastic. We were looking for a…read morewaterfront restaurant in the area and were so happy to find this place. The salad was amazing and best ranch I've ever had. I would drive from where I live in south east Michigan to have the side salad, I also had the lobster tail and asparagus. Both cooked to perfection with so much flavor! My friend had the salmon and coleslaw and loved everything. I can't wait to visit again!
