GET THE BREAKFAST BURRITO. Was in town for a wedding. Stayed at the hotel a few blocks away and walked here Saturday. It was busy, looked like a popular local place. Got the breakfast burrito and it was 10/10. So good I came back the next morning hung over after the wedding, got the burrito again, and it was even better. I've had a lot of breast burritos in my life. This is way up there. Go here, get the burrito, make your life better. read more

Our waitress was fabulous. Even though this restaurant allows you to give a tip of 5 percent, she was tipped 20-25 percent for the fine service. He didn't enjoy his French toast with eggs and sausages and said the food was bland. However, I had the best Mexican omelette ever. It was my first Mexican omelette to be honest but I didn't know that a good one tasted like a cheeseburger wrapped in eggs and topped with pickled jalapenos, tons of guacamole and diced tomato. The hash brown was bland but I would eat their Mexican omelette every week if I lived in Windsor. Great breakfast place. Definitely recommend the Mexican omelette! read more

I've eaten several breakfasts. Every breakfast was served as ordered. I enjoyed every breakfast. Very tasty.

I had the breakfast tacos. They came with an excellent salsa and avocado crema. The food was excellent and our waitress was personable and attentive. The overall experience was great! read more

Service was great but definitely do not recommend going outside of breakfast hours, the use of old food is definitely encouraged by the workers and put people at risk. I have gone to eat here outside of breakfast hours and found myself getting incredibly sick with a high fever and felt terrible. These breakfast burritos are usually so good. so sad to see you guys disappoint. read more

We walked in wanting breakfast on a Monday morning, and they were busy as always we have been there before. We asked the waitress how long the wait is and she goes "Oh, let me just ask everyone for you hahaha". She then proceeded to give us dirty looks as we waited. She made a table for two when a couple walked in- these are my regulars!! Then we left, We will not be back here according to the rude staff and the attitude we got just asking. Go to Adele's everyone! Better staff, customer service and friendly atmosphere. read more

I absolutely love this place. We have stopped here many times when traveling through. And we are always pleased with the food but I want to especially highlight the workers they are all unbelievably friendly literally they should teach customer service classes. It's rare to find that great of service these days and that is my favorite part. Also fast service thank you all for your exceptional service and delicious perfect food. HIGHLY RECOMMEND read more

Just today 8/13/25: I hadn't been to Skillets in awhile and decided it was a good place to take to take my dad and husband for brunch. I remember the food being really good so I was happy to check it out again. Service was great and very friendly and attentive. The place is relaxing and roomy enough for a wheelchair. We received our food timely, however, mid-way through my food, I took a bite of my spinach and mushroom omelet and I felt sickened as it went down. I wasn't sure what happened or why, just that it made me sick. I couldn't eat anymore of it. Now, hours later, I'm still feeling nauseous. I'm hoping it won't get worse. I'm truly disappointed. Maybe it was just a fluke, but I do wonder what the heck was in that omelet. The bad thing is, I may not be able to go back, which makes me more disappointed. My husband's and dad's food was fine, so they probably would have rated it a 4 or 5. read more

Service was great, sweet blond waitress was outstanding. This is definitely a place where locals come. Breakfast was delicious. read more

'Tinkerbell' was great and accommodating. It is a smaller place but still comfortable. There were four of us and 3 of us got different skillets and enjoyed and the other got one of the Benedicts. Good portions and good flavor. read more

Excellent service and food! Clean and pleasant atmosphere! Love the little sign on the bathroom doors...Absolutely will recommend this place! read more

I ordered corned beef hash, two eggs over easy, country potatoes and Rye toast. The food was wonderfully cooked. Service was great. I have also had their patty melt for lunch and it was very good. The ambiance is very cozy! I recommend this diner! read more

Decided to come here and help local businesses and staff during the somewhat reopen on restaurants. Walked in with my two boys, and girlfriend. We were emediatly sat down at a booth, with plexi glass barriers between booths. The place was clean and the staff was very friendly and busy at the time. Now for the food, I ordered the southern skillet and an Ice tea for my drink. My girlfriend decided on the eggs Benedict. When my plate arrived I was blown away by the size, and after my first bite the flavor did not disappoint as well. It was pretty much chicken fried steak cut up, with all the fixings you would get at a restaurant when ordering chicken fried steak meal. Except all I'd a skillet, the green onions were a well welcomed addition. The ice tea was just how I like mine when making it at home, a good ice tea seems hard to come by these days. I had to taste the eggs Benedict and it too was delicious. Easy to say I will be back to Skillets many times as it is now definitely in my top five breakfast spots. read more

Skillets was an UNCOMFORTABLE experience that felt discriminatory and questionable thanks to Pam. Ambiance: I came to Skillets with the expectation of good food and service. I called ahead of time as it was New Year's Eve and they said that it was a small wait. When I came to the restaurant the servers glared at me and even gave me a look of what do I want. I said I needed a table and she said it would be a moment. I waited a few minutes and then the server said just sit there. She didn't motion to a table just said to sit there. It was clean and the booth chair has seen better days as it caved in. Service I ordered a hot chocolate and she basically tossed it to me. Three tables sat after me and they all ordered and it wasn't until I started pointing at the other tables that a server came over. The people working there continued to stare, glare, and act unkind and unapproachable. I watched as they checked on table after table making conversation. It was an uncomfortable experience. Food I ordered a side of country potatoes, pancakes, eggs, and toast and waited over 15 minutes. The country potatoes were bland and needed salt and pepper. Honestly a McDonalds hash brown would have been a better option. The toast was toast and you can't really go wrong with it. The pancakes were very basic and bisquick would be a tastier and cheaper option if that. I questioned the total because before taxes it was $35 and my total was $47. There was no point to argue as she input her own undeserved tip. You're welcome Pam, and thank you for exposing your establishment as greedy and unwelcoming. I was hoping for an experience and it turns out it that would have been better served at home. read more

Great food and service. Prepared breakfast exactly as expected. Easy access from freeway for trailer. Parked in bank lot.

Great, Fast Service. Honest, hearty food. Friendly staff. YUM! Good coffee! Clean and bright.

How is it that it took me so long to eat here???? The food here is amazing!...to start with, the waitstaff is super friendly. It looks like they are enjoying their job and actually want to make the diners experience a great one. The menu is your typical breakfast menu of eggs, omelets, pancakes, French toast, Sandos...all with a touch a Skillets to it (Which btw, they have skillets entrees). I had a turkey sandwich which sounds simple but man did it have major flavor! The bread is not just toasted, but coated in a garlic, Parmesan and butter which is toasted to a nice crisp. The avocado was slightly warmed in the middle and to my surprise, I really enjoyed it! I also had a chowder soup which was absolutely delicious and paired well with the sandwich. I can't wait to go back and try more of their delicious menu items. read more

I had the chicken fried streak, one of my favorite breakfasts. It was bland, all I could taste was pepper. The gravy was watery and not flavorful, tasted like emulsified instant power. The service was good! The waitress was sweet and kept the coffee coming. It definitely is a sit down restaurant. Has nice out door seating. read more

Had the Skillet Melt. Perfectly delicious ham and good turkey together melts perfectly on the grilled toast. The pancakes are great too. They do that little trick to make them better than usual. The big downer is the hash browns like most places. They went with over cooked instead of undercooked which is good. Don't know why people cook them too fast, they are potatoes. read more

The service was so good - friendly, engaging, fast! The food left me bummed and I won't be rushing to return. Two omelettes, two coffees, $40. Eggs were WAY overdone and dry. No fluffy texture. Fries and hash browns were crisp and tasty. Coffee was flowing. I'm hoping I just came on a bad day. This little local shop has a lot of love from Windsor! read more

This place is in a small strip mall, and looks like just any other small cafe. Not all breakfast places are created equally especially the small diner type restaurants. There's the typical chains that serve breakfast and their breakfasts are just mediocre and overpriced. Then there's the next level where the service, food, and prices are great! Skillets Cafe is at this level. The staff was all very friendly and you can tell that they have built relationships with their regulars. They have a lot of variety of their breakfast and lunch foods. The quality of the breakfast tastes fresh and not overly greasy. The omelet I had was so tasty, my hubby loved his French toast and even my kiddo finished the whole plate which says a lot. All this and the price is right. We recently went to a place where all their breakfasts were priced at $19 a plate. Like who charges $20 a plate for breakfast???!?! When we are back in this area, you bet we will be coming back. read more

Twas in the mood for breakfast at lunch time so stopped in at Skillets with my buddy. The wait was less than 5 minutes if we wanted to sit outside so that's where we went. When you're hungry time is everything! Skillets' menu had plenty to choose from for breakfast or lunch. Since I was feeling breakfast I went with the Mushroom Omelette with hash browns & toast. No complaints from me as serving size was quite filling and tasty. Service was also very good as our server periodically checked on us to see how we were doing. Loved the food and service so I'll definitely be back! read more

Hashed browns consistently overdone, but everything else was good: omelette, skillet, French Toast. I had the bacon spinach omelette. It was delicious! I'm sorry I had to keep sending my burnt hash browns back, as it Disturbed my palette. When I was able to focus on my omelette however, the flavor kept me coming back! If it had not been for me tasting all of my friends dishes oh, I would have finished my delicious omelette. However, I tried the French toast that our server raved about. It was regular. I was expecting something spectacular her with a spiced when she talked about it. I also tried the skillet. The only difference is the potatoes versus hash browns on an omelette plate. Overall, our food was delicious. The Establishment was busy. The service was exceptional. read more

An awesome diner with great portion sizes and quality of food. We got the country skillet, quesadilla, and chili cheese fries. We definitely over ordered since we didn't expect so much food. The fries were crisp in the chili cheese fries which is rare, and it was tasty! The country skillet was also done well, and the quesadilla was very unique and enjoyable! read more

Came during lunch to check things out. Seating seems somewhat limited, but it wasn't busy at all when I came in. The service checked in frequently and water refills were on point. I had gotten the veggie omelette with avocado added and sourdough toast. The omelette was good, and the avocado added plentiful. I'd say I just wanted more veggies in it. The hashbrowns were decently crispy. Clean and simple, nothing wrong with it. Not much of a wow factor on that end though so it depends on what you're looking for. I'd come by again if looking to grab breakfast for lunch considering it is closeby. read more

A no frills, focus on quality food, breakfast spot convenient located off the highway in Windsor. As their namesake, they have a whole section of the menu just for skillets which look super tasty and come served in a colorful skillet pan. My husband decided to go with their benedict skillet and he was very happy with how everything came out. The hollandaise was nice and creamy, the potatoes were perfectly cooked, and you get four pieces of toast on the side. On my end, I decided to go with their breakfast quesadilla. The quesadilla was loaded with eggs, ham, and cheese and came with a delicious salsa on the side as well as a full serving of hash browns. The flavors went together well, although the tortilla was a little soggy due to how much food was stuffed inside of it - not that big of a deal though. read more

I haven't been there recently, but in the past, this place reminded me of a neighborhood cafe! Super breakfasts! Love the eggs, bacon, pancakes etc! They give you so much! However, my favorite is their burgers! Huge is all I can say! Delicious, tender, juicy beef! Huge, huge! Enough for two days! Oh, and it comes with a mountain of crispy fries. The worker bees are amazing! Friendly, and very helpful when ordering! Of course we can't leave out the chefs! Fast as lightning! Top notch food! Check out their menu. Give them a try. read more

Quaint, lil breakfast spot near Healdsburg. It's in a strip mall, next to a grocery store, with plenty of parking. Service was great. We were sat immediately upon arriving. Our server was super sweet and took good care of us from start to finish. My southern skillet was pretty good. The chicken fried steak was crispy, the potatoes could've been crispier, tho. I had the eggs over easy, versus scrambled in, it was bomb. Topped with a biscuit and some gravy, bacon and green onions, okurrrrrr. Also had the banana and cream waffle to share with the table. It was delish, but the middle of the waffle was soggy by the time we ate it, so maybe don't wait for it to be dessert, or get the cream on the side. All was good. I'd come back for next year's river trip. read more

Decent quick fix breakfast. Nothing special to be honest. Convenient parking. Market pricing.

Veggie omelette with . Very devious. First time having breakfast here. Waitress Heidi was an awesome waitress.

Great diner. My son's favorite. Roll up to the counter and take a seat. They will acknowledge you immediately. The servers have been there forever so they know the repeat customers. Good eggs, hot food,fast service. Our neighborhood favorite. read more

A great little diner that's actually affordable. They have a nice outdoor seating area, and plenty of room inside. My wife and I went for brunch on a Wednesday and there was no wait. We were seated in a booth right away. I ordered a buffalo chicken wrap. The wrap was huge and came with fries. My wife got corned beef hash with toast. She said it was the best corned beef hash around. We both split a pancake because they were huge. The pancakes here are amazing! Shout out to our server Shay, she was a great waitress. Very funny and polite. She is the reason this review went from a 4 to a 5. This is now our new breakfast spot. read more

We had brunch here and the food was great! I loved the recommendations that were made. The eggs Benedict and breakfast tacos were both so delicious. The eggs were cooked perfectly in both. I loved the diner vibe and the staff were really fun and friendly. Their sarcastic banter made me crack up. I would hang out here next time we're back in town. read more

This place was packed! I get it that it was a Sunday morning, however, the food and service did not warrant a 45 min wait. For all you out of towners just looking for a decent breakfast, keep driving or be prepared to wait 45 minutes. The food was definitely OKAY, but that's just it, I can get okay food at a chain restaurant in 15 minutes. I had a garden skillet w/ one blueberry pancake. The blueberries were whole blueberries just thrown into regular pancake batter so just eh. The syrup did not taste like blueberry syrup. I left half of the skillet as it didn't have much flavor. The veggies were cut really big and thrown in raw. It would've been nice if they had sautéed all the veggies first then added the eggs. I felt like I was eating big chunks of mushrooms right out of the container. The hometown potatoes were good. read more

Excellent food and staff. They even attract great customers. Highly suggest trying one of their skillet breakfasts. My wife generally has lots of criticisms of food and today she had zero complaints, just praise for the amazing waitress Jamie!! Drop in you won't be disappointed. read more

Killer diner. If your in the mood for hash browns omelette or any breakfast diner food and in Windsor. This is your spot. Joe's San Francisco Special was insane! I ate it too fast to get a picture. 5 plus stars! Irish Benedict incredible. 5 stars. Mexican skillet very good. 4+ stars. VERY BUSY for brunch on the weekends. We stood outside for about 20 minutes but it was totally worth the wait. Great friendly service. On the Irish Bene my wife substituted tomatoes for English Muffins and spinach for the hash browns. Server didn't blink and the cooks made everything perfectly. Thank you!!! read more
