Swung by Sunday afternoon for an early dinner. Atmosphere is diner, and the restaurant is attached to a gas station and quick mart. I ordered the fish & chips, and got just that: three good sized pieces of fish, fried golden, and a bunch of crinkle fries (which could have used some more salt, IMHO.) Waitress was friendly and accommodating, but was sometimes hard to get hold of. read more

This is a wonder establishment to meet your next wife. Stop in and get the delicious breakfast. Honk your air breaks and stink up the bathroom. The waitresses are divine, top notch. read more

We had a delightful experience at the Iron Skillet. I didn't know what to expect when we first walked in- the atmosphere is very unassuming, a small town diner feel. We were greeted promptly and cheerfully. The owner (or manager, I'm not sure which) was very friendly- gave our kiddo a balloon and made an origami frog that could leap! He also greeted locals by name and knew their usual order- this to me shows a great sense of community and care. The waitress was sweet- she typically worked night shift- but I'm glad she was there for our meal- her service and attention to detail was outstanding. The wait for the food was reasonable for what we ordered, and the food came out hot and perfectly cooked. The portion sizes were very generous. My husband and son got the French toast breakfast. We brought 8 slices of French toast home with us. I'm also a crispy bacon lover, so asking for it extra crispy and getting extra crispy bacon was a huge bonus. Let's not forget the coffee was hot and fresh! The cleanliness was top notch. We used the bathrooms in the attached Petrol station next door. Everything smelled clean, and looking at corners and baseboards, they were actually kept tidy and maintained. I was able to use one of the bathrooms that are typically reserved for traveling truckers- it was very nice. The building is an older style, but it is well preserved- I can tell the owners take pride in the place. The had some neat pictures of local cattle and two metal horse sculptures that brought the local charm into the place. Adding this to my list of places that I will stop at again! read more

First time here and we'll be back! They offer all day breakfast and traditional lunches and dinners. The best part is the people, though. The manager was great and Dara was great: so friendly, quick and the food was delicious. No more Cracker Barrel for us. You can tell they take pride in their work. Refreshing! read more

Walked in not sure what to expect and was immediately greeted by Samm. I sat, she brought a menu and got my coffee order which was delivered quickly and hot. I had breakfast and it was honestly 1 of the best cooked breakfasts I've had. The eggs and everything was perfect. Everyone was friendly and it seemed appreciative that I was there. A FABULOUS EXPERIENCE. 10/10 read more

Great service- friendly and professional staff - make you feel at home...excellent choices on menu - we did brunch and loved it!

Located in the Petro station, it is actually a full restaurant with table/booth seating. Reminds me a little of Denny's or Huddle House. Menu has some light lunch or breakfast options as well as comfort foods. Hubs ordered the onion rings for a starter. Didn't appear hand cut or battered but were still decent. Looks like many people order online for pick up as it got pretty busy with people were coming in for orders but the seating area wasn't busy. All servers were knowledgeable of the menu and interactive. Leisha was amazing and had been here 25 years. Moms rarely get to eat first and when she brought out the food she made sure I was served first. Food was outstanding and exceeded my expectations on all levels--flavor, presentation and temperature. The restaurant was clean and the gas station was clean. Since it is inside a truck stop setup you could do some laundry real quick if needed. I certainly would stop here again for a rest break, have dinner/lunch or fill up on road food/supplies. read more

Iron Skillet - Southwestern Breaded Chicken Sandwich - American Near Me - Reddick, Florida

This little unassuming joint off I-75 is wonderful! The manager is on the ball! The servers are attentive and professional. The food - there are so many options! My husband got a fried chicken sandwich with a special sauce - he said he enjoyed it! (It was all gone!) I am on a special eating plan - they even had something for me! Egg white veggie omelette. I even asked for an extra egg white - no charge. My son ate chicken Parmesan- he loved it! My daughter got spaghetti and meatballs! It was gone! Fast eating experience for sit-down. They offer a military discount. I n PE it's inside a Petro station, but you NEED to try it! read more

Expensive for what you get. $9 for roughly 9 cheese curds & beverages are $4 each. Food came out hot but kitchen staff was blowing up the bathroom, with her apron on. Lost my appetite after that. I was hoping to make this our go to spot but that won't be happening. read more

server was nice but the food is mad overpriced and they dont tell you about half of the added charges, 25 bucks for a halfway decent burger and a 12 oz drink Atmosphere is fine, feels like a diner read more

Pleasantly surprised with this Dinner located inside a truck stop! Food was tasty and served rather quickly. Server was so pleasant and returned often to keep our drinks full! Great place to meet in the middle with some of my Orlando area friends! read more

Stopped thru on way from south Florida to ATL. Wanted to go somewhere different......both sandwiches were very good. A little overpriced but at same time it is a sit down restaurant not necessarily a fast food. Chicken sandwich was especially good! Waitress was very kind and quick! Would definitely stop again as we drive past. read more

The waitress was nice. The spaghetti meatballs we ordered was the worst pasta dish we ever had. The pasta was overcooked and the dish came soaking in water. The sauce was so bland. You get salad with it. The salad was ok. Please don't order this pasta dish! You will regret it. If you're really hungry, wait for the next exit and find a better place. read more

This is a hidden gem in Florida! We stopped here after my wife found it on Yelp. The food was fantastic, the service by Lesia was excellent, and the vibe was great! If I ever come this way again, me and my family are coming back! read more

Came here on a road trip and made a quick stop for lunch. The fried chicken sandwich was amazing! The service from the waitress and manager was stellar. And we loved the home cooked feel! Was super convenient with the shop attached as well. Would definitely come again. read more

Been a few years since I was here and they updated their menu and looks like they got rid of their soup and salad bar. (Thanks, Plandemic) But we met my son here for lunch and the food is still solid. My favorite items used to be the french toast and pancakes, but I seem to have developed a wheat allergy over the years, so I went with corned beef hash with Sunnyside eggs and hash browns. Delicious. I think they added onion powder to the hasbrowns. Pretty good! Hubby and son both got burgers and were very satisfied. Given this place is about 2 hours(ish) north of Tampa and about 2 hours (ish) away from Jacksonville, we will be meeting up for lunch often. I'm looking forward to it and to exploring their new menu further. read more

Well, I cannot believe we stopped here again! As soon as we got in the door I remembered my experience last year... Sad to say there was zero improvement. I ordered the " ultimate nachos" She did add fresh jaleoeno at my request. Good thing, bc the chicken was terrible! Wayyyy dried out. One tiny tomatoes slice and a small bit of onion. I should just have ordered chips and queso. The hubs got the fish and onion rings- that was hot and decent. Next year I'm going to take my own advice and keep on rolling past this truck stop. read more

Disgusting , low quality not even mid. This place is not worth the stop please do your health and money a favor by moving on.

They double charged me on biscuits and gravy paid almost $30 just for myself with biscuits and gravy a side of bacon and a sweet tea poor quality food and service and they don't have the true price listed on the menu. read more

Was passing through on my way to Atlanta so I swung in for breakfast. I am glad I did. Ordered the new corned beef hash item on the menu. Came with generous helping of corned beef hash, well cooked scrambled eggs, hash browns and an English muffin, all cooked just right. The manager, Scott, came up and chatted with me for a bit. I watched him work the room like a pro. You don't find too many well managed grill-type restaraunts anymore but this is that unicorn. The service from the waitress was spot on a well. So all in all, if you're in the area and looking to grab a bit while travelling, this is a good spot to do it. Oh, and a side note...it seems to be a truckers spot so the bathrooms were very clean and they have a shop next door if you want to pick up a few items to take on the road. Good job team Iron Skillet! read more

Meh! Nothing to write home to mama about. The breakfast buffet bar was lacking food, it was dirty, and unattended. The server did not keep it stocked with fresh food as most buffet offerings looked stale and old. I typically take a couple of trips to a buffet but one was more than enough. The restaurant was moderately busy, not extremely busy so I couldn't understand the negligence. I just didn't enjoy it at all. I'm sure we may have come on a bad day because my husband always speaks highly of Iron Skillets when he's on the road. Perhaps l'll order from the menu next time. read more

Iron Skillet - American Near Me - Reddick, Florida

We stopped here for lunch and the food was really delicious. I had the chicken with special sauce sandwich without the bun by choice and fries. He had biscuits and gravy , eggs and a side of bacon. His bacon was too hot to take the first bite and a nice amount of sausage in the gravy. My fries were very hot too, just like I like them. Service was really good and prices were comparable with the highway chain restaurants. His coffee stayed full. Will recommend and return again when passing through the area. read more

Would be an incredible road side dinner, but the chili is Hormel from a can, the queso and chips were good, and fries and fish as good as any fast food dive. But. 50.00 dinner for two apps and a pc of fried fish and some fries, served up with a truly shit attitude, and not just our waitress, the one at the counter looked as though she'd rather spit on you then wait on you. NOT recommended!!! read more

Food was mediocre. Service was good. It was not what I expected. I ordered a salad and it was 'lettuce from a bag'. I wouldn't stop here again read more

This place used to be Awsome before they took out the salad bar and all you can eat stations. Post Covid they made a lot of changes. They do however have the best chicken fried steak on the planet! To bad they were out when we went :( read more

Friendly service, fast and the food is always good. They have eat in or take out and a large variety menu. Not gourmet but good everyday fare. read more

First visit of many to come. Went with a group of seven and were easily accommodated. The waitstaff is very friendly and helpful. Service was quick. The atmosphere is clean and comfortable with local horsey decor. Conveniently just off I-75 between Ocala and Gainesville. Menu is country style comfort food and very reasonably priced for the quality of the food served. All the entrees we tried were delicious and well prepared home style cooking. No complaints from anyone in our group and all are eager to return. FYI, it's part of a large truck stop with convenience items and has a nice gift shop to wander through. read more

First -the staff both management and wait are terrific!! On top of their game. The food is plenty full and excellent. Operation is super clean. Come every chance we get. read more

On our way back home on the interstate and not a Waffle House in sight. Thanks to Yelp, we found breakfast! Located at the end of a small truck stop plaza called Petro. The entrance to the diner is also the entrance to the shop. It's a commercial type diner so the food is your typical type of commercial restaurant foods (ex: Denny's, IHOP, Perkins, etc.). But, what I really want to spotlight is the service! I'm not sure if he owns or manages but he is a great guy. His name is Scott. He always made sure our table was doing well and has great sense of humor. His interacting with the regulars and us, complete strangers, made us feel very welcomed. You can tell he really cares for the place and not just that, people. read more

Stopped on our way home from Florida. Great breakfast! Loved the pancakes. Bacon was perfect. Clean and friendly service. Will definitely return. read more

Iron Skillet - Egg skillet combo with hot cakes. - American Near Me - Reddick, Florida

I had been a customer of Iron Skillet a very long time ago but had since forgot about it. Fellow Yelper Francisco paid them a visit a couple of times and raved to me how incredible the food and service was so of course I had to recheck them out. So I went to pay them a visit and then I came back - again, again and again. Yes it had become that good! Interior: The theme of the restaurant is birds and fish all in inviting pastel colors. The seating has several different options. Counter service for those that may want a faster and more casual service. Usually this is popular for truck drivers that want to grab something quicker. A lrge dining room comprised of attractive, comfortable booths. In the back is a secondary dining room that can be used for large parties or overflow of customers. Food: The menu is primarily southern comfort food as well as some standards. No doubt there is something for everyone. Their breakfast items are available all day. Sometimes they have a second menu which is always sort of a specialty limited time menu. Aside from the menus there is always a buffet available. One for breakfast that ends at 11:00 am. After that it's a dinner buffet for the rest of the day. The hot buffet specializes in one type of food daily. I.e. BBQ. roast beef, seafood, etc. Of course there are a variety of sides to choose from. With the hot buffet comes the salad bar with all types of salads on it. Included are two soups and a dessert bar. Every holiday there is an appropriate special meal. Service/Management: All of the servers are local down home gals. They're kind, knowledgeable and are always checking to see how you're doing. I have never received poor service. The management are a special kind of folk. GM Scott is always visiting the tables, loves fawning over the babies and playing with the children. He is always hustling non stop at multi tasking. He's helping out on the buffet and cleaning when needed. Asst. Mgr. Matt is also helpful by visiting the tables. I've probably eaten 2/3 of the menu and everything has been spectacular with the exception of a couple of hiccups. Most impressive is the buffet which starts at 12.99. As the pans of food on the buffet run low, they do not add to that older food a most places do but rather switch out the entire pan with new food. The 60's music they play really gives out the good feeling vibes. Seniors always receive a discount and they offer a punch card system for your meals You really cannot go wrong! read more

Was really looking forward to greasy truck stop chicken fried steak. It did not live up to my hopes.

The food here is amazing when it is cooked by the right person. They have gotten a lot better over the past few months, but as with any restaurant it is hard to keep good help. read more
