This is place hit or miss! I went recently and it was a hit. We got the fried chicken and waffle combo. The fried chicken was good and some pieces like the dark meat was quite juicy which I love. Some of the pieces were quite dry. The waffle was solidly delicious. When drenched in syrup, the waffle was amazing. The cornbread was averagely OK. I feel like it wasn't the highlight of the meal. The other sides like fries and the mac and cheese were also decently average. The highlight definitely was the waffle. Then, the fried chicken comes second. The service was good. The food came out fast and the servers were fine. They were kinda busy though so it was a bit hard to flag the server down. For example we wanted to get ketchup but we waited for a good few minutes for a server to come. The ambiance is amazing. I feel like this place could be a good gathering place for after work events since it feels like a sports bar but a more casual version of it. This place is great to grab a quick bite and it's close to the Caltrain! read more

Little Skillet - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Francisco, California

Why settle for anything less than the works? Two waffles, two pieces of fried chicken, and a side. The waffles were soft, eggy, and airy. You can choose what types of chicken pieces so I asked for one light and one dark piece. The coating was crispy (and didn't taste too oily) and the chicken was moist and tender inside. I'm not a big fried chicken person but this was good! Definitely needs a little hot sauce (on the table) for flavor though. As a side I got biscuits because I had to judge them on their biscuit quality. While they weren't individually formed cakes, the biscuits were formed better than just a slice of "cake" and were buttery with a little tang. What really takes the cake was the honey butter and either clove-y or allspice-y maple syrup as toppings. So unique and delicious! They also included the cutest tiny jalepeno cornbread muffin and slice of watermelon as toppings. Im slathering to go back. Logistics: - Indoor and outdoor seating, but there's a fly problem outdoors so I'd recommend indoors - Limited street parking nearby but walking distance from Caltrain, the T muni line, and many buses - We went for a weekday corporate lunch and there was only one poor server who was doing the service and bartending so it was a bit slow. Hire more staff to give the poor girl a break! read more

Little Skillet - The Works (2 Chx, 2 Waffles, Muffin, & Side) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Francisco, California

The food was okay, nothing special in my opinion. I had the combo with the 2pc chicken and waffles. The chicken was very crunchy, but there wasn't much seasoning. The mac and cheese had a good taste but it was a bit too liquidy for my preference. The catfish taco was decent. Our waitress was kind, but it took a bit of time to get her attention. I think she was the only one working so that isn't on her. I wouldn't go out of my way to come back honestly, but if you're in the area it's not bad. read more

Service was awesome! When we went on a weekday during lunch and it wasn't too busy. Food came out quick. Fries are delicious, shrimp and grits are decent, I would skip the chicken wing appetizer. read more

Too Good To Go order. About $6. Order ahead of time for pickup next door at Victory Hall between 8:45-9pm. As with mst Too Good To Go orders, what you get tends to be a surprise. Arrived and was greeted by a friendly bartender and I think the manager. Informed them I was picking up for Too Good To Go, which they also already guessed. Took a seat for a few minutes while they packed up the order. The order I believe I got was the BBQ pulled pork bowl. Retails $15 so basically half off. Came in a to go container that was hefty. 60% grits, 40% slow roasted BBQ pulled pork so a really solid ratio. Flavorful grits and I really liked the rich flavorful of the BBQ sauce. For only about $6, definitely worth it read more

Amazing service, food was a 10/10 our server was super nice, food was nice and hot, chicken was crispy and not dry, we also ordered there red velvet cupcakes were moist, would definitely recommend this place! read more

Fried chicken and waffles here just hits the spot. On a Saturday afternoon for brunch after the Giants fanfest, we swung by for a late lunch at 2pm. Service was fast and food was delicious. They even had a live DJ spinning music. Good vibes, but they didn't have a lot of draft beers on tap. read more

I'm rounding up on this one - truly want to support a little local-owned joint, but the service was slow and the food could've been better. In particular, I ordered the: "Fried Chicken Bowl $15.00 Deliciously Crispy Fried Chicken over your choice of hot stone-ground grits or creamy mashed potatoes." I asked the server what chicken to get, and she said the boneless breast so I went with that, and asked for half grits and half mashed. I also added a side of mushroom gravy for $1.50. Yes, I'm a little high maintenance apparently. The mushroom gravy was the highlight here - SO GOOD. The grits were also fabulous, and the mash was good too. The chicken however, was so thin and dried out and chewy. Boo. :( read more

Little Skillet is tucked away inside an alley, so it's definitely one of those "if you know, you know" spots. It's easy to miss if you aren't looking for it, but once you step inside, the space is actually quite nice and spacious with a full bar. You can order via a QR code at the table or with the server, but we chose to order with our server and she was friendly. I ordered the blackened shrimp bowl with sides of mac n cheese and sweet potato fries. The shrimp were seasoned well and came with a generous amount. read more

Little Skillet - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Francisco, California

The food came out lukewarm warm and partly tasted good party tasted bad. The mac n cheese was good but was almost cold. The coleslaw was some of the worst I had. No flavor like come I can do better at home. The fish po boy was ok but smelled of cleaning products and tasted bland needed hot sauce , seasoning & some aioli or something to round it out. Was super bummed. The blackened shrimp were good had some nice char/ season in them but again were barely warm. Could not believe we paid 65$ for this meal. I will not recommend or return based on food. The service was absent since they had an private party they were attending to that and the bar. She did bring us hot sauce thankfully.The vibe was not bad it was basically a bar. read more

It's a very charming venue (really you could believe you're in New Orleans) and has a giant menu. There is likely something here you want to eat if you are a fan of southern food (which I am!) Parking can be dicey but it's at least possible. The T-line might be a good option though.... I got a huge portion of mashed potatoes with corn and pulled pork and a side of tiny corn muffins. It was easily enough for two. I would have given 5 stars except that the pork was a bit too salty for me...and I like salt. I have not eaten here enough to know if that's an aberration but I'm assuming that's atypical. I'll be back. I'm going to have a po'boy next time! read more

Walking back to our car after Opening Day, we stumbled onto this spot by pure luck -- and it ended up being exactly what we didn't know we needed. From the second you walk in, it's a full-on vibe. The music is loud, people are dancing, drinks are flowing -- it feels like the after-party to the game. We had a pretty large group, but our server handled it with patience and ease, which made the experience even better. My husband and I kept it simple and shared the boneless wings and mac and cheese, and both absolutely delivered. Comfort food at its best -- hot, flavorful, and exactly what you want after a long day (and a few drinks) at the ballpark. It's the kind of place you could easily miss if you didn't know it was there, but once you find it, you'll want to come back. Perfect post-game spot, great energy, and definitely worth the stop. read more

I'm still on my hunt for the best chicken and waffles. On a Sunday mid-afternoon, I went across town to little skillet. The parking was nearly a nightmare but with some patience, I found something a few streets over. I was confused at first and thought it was closed, but the location next door has the entrance in. I was greeted by a sweet individual Robbie. Robbie answered some questions I had and welcomed me in a warm way. I got the cheek and waffles of course and otpes out for a side, but later went back and asked for some collard greens. One thing I noted was they actually asked which type of meat I wanted, no extra charge. The outside was quite nice, given it's an alleyway. I quite enjoyed looking at the brick wall, it reminded me of home. And it was quite nice with oneself, on a quiet day, rather than be distracted by a bunch of activity. The presentation was lovely-- two watermelon slices, a mini corn muffin, a crispy breast and thigh, and some well-done waffles with powdered sugar-- and Robbie let me know the collard greens were on the house-- a small gesture, not asked for, not needed, but given anyhow. I personally enjoy the waffles more dense and well cooked as opposed to floopy waffles (lol, floopy). The syrup is quite natural tasting, light, but has rich flavor. Don't just toss away the sprig of thyme, take those leaves off and sprinkle them about-- it's a nice little flavor twist. Given Robbie's grace, the bill was only $19.67 for what you see in the pictures. Will be back again for sure. Thanks for the great experience, Robbie. Give him a raise. read more

On a cold Saturday morning, we walked into Little Skillet. We haven't been here since the remodel, so we noticed that there's a new wall and now people don't walk up counter. I ordered the 2pc. Chicken and waffles, the veggie plate and French fries. Today must have been an off day because my chicken was dry and tiny, and the waffles were not tasty. My daughter loved her veggie plate and would love to eat it again. I ate a solid 3 star plate but my daughter's 5 star plate evens out the score. read more

Little Skillet came highly recommended as a place to eat before we watched the Giants game. This place did not live up to the hype. I ordered the 2pc Fried Chicken Combo with one side. I got the cornbread, but I could have picked a different side since it already came with a piece of cornbread. I didn't see that on the menu. I will chalk it up as my bad on that one. The two pieces I got were the two smallest thighs that I have ever had. That was a real bummer. For a fried chicken spot, they can't tiny pieces of chicken. The fry had a good crunch, but zero flavor. Thank goodness for the hot sauce they gave us. The mac and cheese balls appetizer was pretty dry inside. My two stars is for the good service we had and the restaurant had a cool chill vibe. read more

We were a group that came every third Tuesday and had arranged this with the owner. We've been doing it for almost a year. She'd let me know there could be buyouts and I said, just let me know in advance. Well, she didn't... so our group of 45 - 50 people were turned away at the door. She was like, oh I'm so sorry, we did think about you guys. And then she laughed a nervous laugh and blamed her bar managers for not getting in touch with me. Terrible way to do business. read more

Way down a side street DEFINITELY off the beaten path is a destination Restaurant and Bar that isn't considered to be SF Elite, but sure as hell qualifies on all the boxes that need to be ticked. ** super cool weird, Old Timey looking Machinery, Period Equipment and Memorabilia, some of it turned into seating. You need to see it to believe it. ** Genuine, driven music. Peeking out defiantly from the background and scratching at that something in your sole that makes you go, Who is this? ** Fried Chicken like nobody else quite makes it. Lighter, milder-tasting, great crunch but somehow.... Somehow.... different than anybody else's. Blackened Catfish filet just a hair not spicy enough to be the best I've had. ** Cajuny/ Soul Food type sides that are fully legit. Collards are long cook, with personality. And that vegetarian liquor they get when you do em right. And grits. I've only ever had grits in SF from a pair of faux Cajun joints called Hard Knox. It's not good They pile on a *shitload* of cheese. It's some "I don't know JACK about Creole or Cajun Food" Cook's idea of how to amp up white people rendition to imitate real deal. Well guess what. Bring a salt shaker with you or just request one from the waitress. Because it's the ONLY thing missing from the best creamy with just a perfect hint of exterior crust grits I've had anywhere in San Francisco. And the takeaway cookies - one w chocolate chips and the other without disappeared under our smiles as we took the N line to Iracle Park to watch our G-men get owned by the Padres 10-5. It'll take more than your best IPA to wash that nasty flavor out of my mouth. read more

I have eaaten there twice. The beer is great and the food is pretty good. The servers are friendly, but the one we had tonight was slow. The biggest problem was they allowed 3 pet dogs to come in and sit inside the restaurant. The dogs barked and got into a fight at one point. One of the dogs was even sitting on the beach seat next to us. Pretty nasty and a CA code violation. read more

Great place with unexpectedly good food on an unexpected side street. We were looking for a dog friendly spot and this place was super dog and human friendly. Service was stellar so obviously based on other reviews either something ir someone changed? The collard greens were awesome. Fried chicken both with and without bone was given good reviews on the flavor and moist and crispy factors. My blackened catfish was good not great. I like way more blackened I guess. read more

horrible service and they stop serving breakfast at 10 wich was so disappointing because that wasn't conveyed properly on there online site!

Chicken and waffles are great, nothing wrong with the classic (both those with me actually ordered the iconic dish and LOVED it), but I'm a catfish guy. The catfish plate comes with a couple sides and the Mac & cheese was very good, but not amazing, though the catfish itself and the biscuit were top notch. That smell of fried chicken that permeates the whole place will bring me back to try that, especially since my friends both loved the chicken and are still raving about it. The folks next to us got po boys and they looked impressive as well, so there's no doubt I will be back here to dig deeper into the menu. read more

Came here for lunch on a weekday at 11am. It was empty except for us for about 30 minutes until closer to 12. Our waiter was friendly and attentive and answered questions we had on the menu. I went with the two piece chicken with a side, chose Mac and cheese and added collard greens. The chicken was really good! And so were the collard greens. The Mac and cheese was also pretty tasty, although maybe a little runnier than I would normally prefer. The plate also came with a small cornbread muffin and a slice of lemon. The food was good overall and I really enjoyed the chicken, so I would return in future! read more

Little Skillet - Sunday, sweet potato kale skillet - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Francisco, California

Hmm... first the food chicken was warm to cold but the flavor was ok it had that sitting in the window texture. The Mac again was ok I think San Franciscans when they think of mac & cheese on the soul food side need to get out of that thought process of creamy mac & cheese. Paper wise it was OK when I ordered it again not. I order it again to see what high and crispy Soulfood chicken taste like from a restaurant in San Francisco. Service was good. I went for a brunch. I got there around about 1 o'clock bar service hmmm felt like the focus was on cleaning and straightening for the rush-hour crowd after the game not friendly just blah. I was there with the party yeah atmosphere was OK. I seem to see it. Get pumped up as the game crowd started to come in. Music could've been a little lower so you can hear each other. Talk not try to talk over the music, I'm gonna give it another try to see what the experience will be like and try something different. read more

Cute hidden gem in an alley and a great place to go after a ball game. I love that it's also Filipino owned too! The place is huge with booths and a full bar in the front and more large tables in the back. There are 2 different QR codes for cocktails and food. I like the efficiency of paying per order so you don't have to wait for a bill at the end; however, I do wish the receipt was emailed to me like how Square does it. The menu is variety of amount of chicken and sides you want. We ordered "The Works" 2 pieces of chicken and mac n cheese. It was not enough. The 8 pc between 3 people is a good amount. The collard greens and mac n cheese are good sides. The grits are TERRIBLE. I also appreciate that they give you a choice of what kind of meat you want without extra costs! The waffles are crisped nicely too. Their syrup has a nice kick to it, kind of like a hot honey. Definitely a great spot to revisit when in the area. read more

I had this food last weekend and it was a good amount that pretty much equaled the price of what I paid, since it has pretty large servings and was something good to have during an outdoor block party. I was amazingly full and had leftovers to take home. It was that good. I had the Chic-n-Waffle Benedict and side of Mac & Cheese. I had been craving Mac and cheese forever and it was creamy and warm. The eggs benedict was really good too (the sweetness and flavor was perfectly tart the way I like it) and it was surprisingly suoee filling with chicken and waffles. It also had potatoes on the side and was simply delicious comfort food. Ambiance Indoors there's nice decor, big TV screens and soft seats, and of course the music was great since I was out there to support and event with DJs. Service I also got to meet the owner, Deana (not sure if I spelled that right sorry!), who was super nice. I came back a few days later when I thought I had left my shirt there and the staff was helpful in checking their lost and found. The music and vibes was good then too. Verdict ‍ I definitely would come here again for food and drinks with friends. read more

Little Skillet - Chic-n-Waffle Benedict and side of Mac & Cheese - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Francisco, California

A hole in the wall restaurant close to the ballpark. Came on a weekday and evening and there were plenty of seats. Ordering was done online via QR code. I ordered a plate with bone-in fried chicken, jalapeño kale slaw, and mac and cheese. The plate also came with a mini jalapeño corn muffin. While the food was good, nothing was particularly memorable or spectacular. My friend got the fried catfish, cajun fries, and waffles. The waffles paired nicely with our fried chicken and catfish. My friend's order came out incorrectly at first (chicken instead of catfish) but it was a little difficult to track down a waiter since we had ordered through the QR code. Eventually we were able to track the waiter down when they came to serve food at the table next to us. Felt a little pricy to have the default tip percentage set to 20% despite the minimal service. Overall, decent place for a casual weekday dinner, but nothing that really blew my mind here in terms of taste, service, or vibes. read more

Just so you guys know I'm not a hater. The ambiance was intriguing, so we thought it was going to be a good place but the food was pretty mid. I ordered a bowl and the mashed potatoes were cold, as well as some of the sides we bought. The corn was bitter and the grits had no flavor the kale salad was a d.i.y as well. The catfish and biscuits were good but are they even homemade.....? The "Cajun fries" were basically just thick, soggy fries with seasoning sprinkled on top. The mac and cheese also had a gritty texture which was sad because that's what we were most excited for. Overall I'd say trust them reviews I wouldn't recommend this place if you're looking for authentic soul food. read more
