I went in tonight for dinner food was great and I've never had better service. Brenda was an amazing waitress she was very attentive and was very helpful. I will defenitly be coming back.!! Thank you brenda.! read more

Hadn't been here in years, won't bother going back. Went mid-afternoon after a lot of shopping. Surroundings appeared clean and wait staff was very friendly and attentive. All of the hot food on the buffet was old, dried out, had "skins" on it, was picked over and looked very unappealing. The fried chicken was bland and dry as sand. The fried fish was hard as a rock. My husband said the brisket tasted ok, however, it was dry and unseasoned. Mashed potatoes and mac and cheese were tasteless and you could tell had been on the hot table for a long, long time. The salad bar looked better, however, it was evident that pretty much everything was out of a can or a bag. The pasta and potato salads were bland and had "skins" from not being maintained. The cucumber slices, sliced olives, chopped celery and others were actually frozen to the bottom of the buffet serving dish and looked disgusting, again because they had not been maintained. The dessert options left much to be desired. There was a passable chocolate mousse with whipped topping, which, sadly, was served at room temperature and not kept chilled. Also offered were three cakes, a yellow, a chocolate and some sort of yellow cake with a cinnamon sugar topping. I chose this as it looked like it might have more to offer than the standard cake options. My square of cinnamon cake was so hard and dry I could pound it with my knife and not dent it. What a waste. Happily, the iced tea tasted fresh and was strong and very refreshing. Actually, the tea was the best part of the entire meal, so there was some redeeming factor in the experience. Overall, we were greatly disappointed. read more

I came in with my Mom, late morning, she had one of the local coupon books. The waitress quickly knew what it was and started talking about it being BOGO on the buffet, unfortunately I have Celiac which means wheat, barley and rye acts like rat poison to me and too much cross contamination possible on a buffet and not possible for me to enjoy. Once explained and hadn't looked at the coupon, just knew it was there she quickly brought out menus to order off of. I has asked about if one of the specialty drinks had barley. She had to check and came back to say it didnt specify and with 'flavors' she didnt want to risk it. I appreciated that she didnt want to give me something that she wasnt sure would be safe for me. The bad part was that it was switchover from breakfast to lunch, we waited for a long time for our meals to come. It would have been like it if the waitress had told us that it was going on and would be a wait for our omelets. Once received they were wonderful, nice and fluffy, full of fillings. read more

Food is Mediocre at best! Service was slam bam thank you, ma'am, without the thank you! I would have thought the servers would be bending over backward for their guests, seeing how since the freeway ramp was relocated and they do not get very much business! I was wrong! I waited 7 minutes to pay my tab and was given real attitude about how busy they were! There were 2 servers and perhaps 3 customers in the place! I used to enjoy the place but with those attitudes, I will be spending my money elsewhere! read more

As one of the only restaurants in the area open after 8pm you can't really complain that the food wasn't great. Equivalent to something I could drunkenly make in the microwave it's probably better when you're sauced. Perhaps better in the daytime? read more

Love this place. On my way to Seattle, saw this place and had the country fried chicken steak,mom had the meat lovers omelet with sausage gravy. OMG if u live big portions this is the spot for u. read more

Went there two times and the food was disgusting both times service was poor and the atmosphere is noisy and discussing and if you like dining with your local drug attics this is the place with for you read more

Had the buffet and there was only a small selection. What they did have wasn't fresh nor very appealing. The French toast and biscuits were hard as rocks. Not to mention the waitress was very rude and provided us poor service. read more

After a long day at Crater National Park, we stopped by this restaurant at 1 AM in the night. And these guys were amazing. Our waitress was incredibly friendly and the food was perfect. It was nothing like what you'd expect so late in the night. Would definitely go here if I'm ever near the area again! read more

Great restaurant! Affordable and clean. I love that it is 24 hrs. It does not serve alcohol. :( Maybe that is best for a truck stop though. Has a tv room, full salad bar and buffet. It was recently decorated. Go check it out! read more

They have an interesting concept that all the food is served in skillet plates. The breakfast buffet has a good selection with standard choices like scrambled eggs, French toast, bacon, ham etc. then there is also a few really nice choices on the buffet like southwestern salmon Benedict. The fruit selection was good too. The hamburgers on the other hand leave a lot to be desired. They were the standard pre formed frozen patty that after cooking barely makes it to edge of the bun and is really thin with no flavor. Service was excellent and they even suggested a dish to not order, which was greatly appreciated. read more

Truck stop food. About as cheap and nasty as it gets. Often the food here is scary! Beware!

Mmmmm I love this place. My grandparents always took us here when our family made our semi-annual trips to Costco. I think the little iron skillets they serve the food on are ADORABLE. I love their pancakes and the light whipped butter they provide for them. I also had their biscuits and gravy... Oh soooooo good and it stuffs you. Its been a while since I have been there though so I would like to go back next chance I get. read more

What a pleasant surprise! Free meal for Veterans on the 4th of July!! Best pancakes, great veggie omelet --good food and excellent service from Rhonda! We'll be back! read more

Waited 5 or more minutes for a menu. 5 more minutes for drinks. Watched our server serve others including people that came in after us. Food is so so. Cheap ingredients. Decor and cleanliness are okay. read more

If I could give this place less stars I would. The place was a disaster. Tables were not cleared, we ended up busing the table ourselves. The wait staff was inept to say the least. I went to the soup and salad bar to find brown lettuce and near empty bowls of additional ingredients for a salad. Decided to try the soup, nope, soup was empty. I informed the wait staff about the soup and sat down to wait for my dinner. The four of us waited over 45 minutes for our food, which came cold. My med/rare steak was well done and had some kind of smoke flavoring that was really nasty. Meanwhile, I was still waiting for them to refill the soup. I asked again and the waitress was downright rude. I will never eat there again. The management needs to fire everyone and start over. read more

Pleasantly surprised. My wife and I decided to eat here for breakfast. Staff was friendly and prompt. They have a breakfast buffet that was nice and hot. Staff was constantly attending and ensuring the hot dishes were fresh. Salad bar was well stocked and fresh. Some of the desserts seemed old maybe they had been sitting out. The doughnuts were good. We didn't order off the menu. Very clean restaurant. They leave a coffee pot at the table! Cute country store as well. We will be back. read more

If you order a ready made salad better bring your own dressing for it, they don't offer any. Just for an added touch the cashier throws your change on the counter instead of handing it to you. read more

I know this is a truck stop, but something edible would have been nice. The soup was too salty to eat. The steak was so fatty that literally every bite had unchewable fat on it. I only had several bites from the whole steak. So I looked forward to dessert, since I was still hungry. I received a stale, dried out piece of pie. The whole meal was just gross. I'm not even that picky and I just wanted a simple meal! read more

Great food and friendly service. Good selections on the menu. Love the glass enclosed section on a spring day.

I'm a commercial driver myself, I'm not going to bash on the place I like The Iron Skillet, first visit here at this location was great, older gentleman was helpful, friendly, got my food and left. Now, I do only get 30 minutes before hitting the road again so time is crucial. I visited this same location again tonight 3/18/16 at about 10:15pm or so with the hopes of another great meal again, but instead the employees I do see working seem as if they don't want to be there and we (customers) are a burden, not a single greet, there was this slender short haired lady in the back area no one at counter, I called for her she comes around and simply said "what do you need" asked her if orders are still being taken to go, me not knowing it's 24 hrs from what I just saw on here, she said yes, asked if I knew what I wanted told her not yet, looked at the menu for me to get, she said "I'll give you a minute" and simply walked away, 5 go by, by the 10th minute I walked around saw a guy taking dishes to the back called for him just to see if he could call the lady again who had completely disappeared, not to my surprise by now he ignored me, so I just left considering I do only have 30 minutes before having to hit the road again, so I settled for 2 sandwiches from the mini convenient store in the same lot, not what I expected as a meal for me to enjoy after putting hours in of driving, I did like this location until tonight. read more

OK, this place is a truck stop, but when you are hauling a large 5th wheel trailer, the options are limited. I was pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. There was an issue with the restrooms and shower rooms had been opened to the public to use during renovations and it is a bit tired. On the way to the table, we walked by the breakfast buffet. My husband thought it looked good, I didn't. (Breakfast is not my favorite meal.) He had the buffet and enjoyed it. I had the opened faced sirloin steak sandwich on garlic toast with coleslaw. The steak sandwich was perfect! Although the coleslaw was a little wet for my personal taste, it was very good. Our waitress was outstanding! When we got ready to leave, she asked if I wanted a to-go cup for my iced tea (which was served, in addition to a full glass, with a small pitcher). If we are up there way, we will go back. read more

We ate there last night, the service was great, the food also was very good. We actually had breakfast for dinner. I had a veggie omlt. Husband has chick fried steak. Huge portions and reasonably priced. We went there 15 years ago and it wasn't that great, we were leery to go but very glad we did. They also have a bakery with fresh breads and desserts. Didn't try that we were too full from our meal. We will be back. read more

Will not come here again. I ate during their Buffett and the food was cold and tasted as if they cooked it two days before. The sevice was good but the food needs some work. The cost was just not worth it as well. read more

The iron skillet is a truck stop restaurant, so as expected you get good portions for fairly cheap. Have buffets most of the hours. Chicken fried chicken was juicy and good. Club was a basic home made sandwich, they didn't have avocado to add to it. Staff was all friendly. Ran out of water, never got more. They have sugary bakery products we took back to our room. Fudge was ok, nothing great. Staff did tell me not to purchase the one fudge flavor because it was dried out today, I appreciate the honesty and caring. Giant cinnamon roll was good. Ate half and gave myself a stomach ache. Little store has your basic needs, as well as some country themed gift shop items. Breakfast buffet was very good, and well priced. They dropped off a thermos of coffee for the table, so I didn't have to wait for them to refill. Found an entire mini cup of half and half in the bottom of my coffee. Seems it's had turned and jelled or something. They also donate yesterday's bakery foods to the Phoenix food bank. read more

I gave them a 5 base on everything. Everyone was nice and the food was satisfying... I ordered steak and eggs skillet with a biscuit... Nice and full.. After a 8 hour drive, great to be around good energy. Every passing through, you should give them a try! read more

This was possibly the worst meal we have eaten here. Most of the food put out for the supper buffet was dried out and long past bring eatable. The wait staff is very nice but that alone won't have us returning any time soon. It is off our "go to" list. read more

Went to have Corned Beef and Cabbage for St. Patrick's Day...ugh! Never again. This was on the Buffet and I spent $13.99 for garbage. Both the Corned Beef and the Cabbage were very, very overcooked. Absolutely no flavor. The Corned Beef was nothing but shreds, short shoe strings. The Cabbage was falling apart, it was so overcooked. Presentation on the Buffet, there was none. Thrown, literally, in the pan with lots of mushy, boiled Red Potatoes. I had to dig thru the Potatoes for the Corned Beef. When I asked for more, they brought more over cooked shreds, which the Busser called Corned Beef Hash. He needs some training, definitely, along with the Tall, Blonde Waitress who thought that the Pork Roast was Corned Beef. Something has happened to the quality of the food and service at the Iron Skillet. It will be a long, long time before I give them my money and my time again! read more
