    I had a solid experience at Skillets Diner and would rate it 3.5 stars overall. The highlight of my visit was definitely the service. Our waiter was handling everything on her own and did an impressive job staying attentive, efficient, and friendly despite how busy it was--she deserves major recognition for her hard work. The food was good and satisfying, and the drinks were well-prepared .The atmosphere was decent, though fairly standard and not particularly memorable. Overall, a good spot with strong service and enjoyable menu options. With a bit more attention to ambiance, it could easily be an even better dining experience.

    Chorizo Queso Skillet
    Timmy S.

    I was visiting friends who live in Bakersfield and they suggested this place for breakfast. It's in a small plaza so there's plenty of parking. The interior is one huge room with a lack of decor. We came around 9am on a Sunday and only a handful of tables were taken but by 10 the crowds were coming through the doors, and soon there was a wait. Several of their breakfast dishes are served in a skillet so of course I had to order one of those. I chose the Chorizo Queso Skillet. Scrambled egg, chorizo, jack and cheddar cheese, diced tomato and onion were served over cubed potatoes. Sour cream and salsa were served on the side. It was a fantastic breakfast meal. Our waitress was very friendly and checked on us after our dishes arrived. I got a cup of coffee with my breakfast - pretty good for a diner - and would have gotten a refill if offered, but that offer never came (not sure if refills are given at no charge or not).

    I had very high hopes for this place but honestly both the service and food fell short. The restaurant wasn't busy during our time there, but somehow the service was considerably slow. Our food took a long time to come out and we had pretty much finished all our drinks by the time it came out. Then our server was hardly checking on us. We had to flag down a different server to grab us our check, to go boxes, etc. In regard to the food, it was alright but everything was very basic. Nothing special or flavorful. The restaurant itself looked like a typical diner and seemed clean.

    Good breakfast place with lots of options to choose from. Service is always good every time I have come here. I have never had to wait for an open table. The only complaint I have here is their To-go orders are always smaller than when ordering to dine in.

    Mimosa flight 2

    I will be leaving pictures of the food and I do want to add I came on Father's Day. I ordered their mimosa flight which took 15mins to get. They were semi watered down (I want to add I do like stronger drinks so it could've just been my preference) and they did NOT look like the flights posted on their IG. The first flight I ordered didn't have the garnishes like the second round. The food was mid but the music they had on was a vibe. So overall for a first impression I'd rate this place 3/5.

    Southern Skillet & Chocolate Chip Pancakes
    Gabby G.

    New to the area & finally tried this spot today. I ordered the southern skillet & my boyfriend ordered chocolate chip pancakes, we both really enjoyed our meal, the gravy was so good, the chicken fried steak was crispy & everything was seasoned well, I appreciate it not being too salty with everything that was in it. Our waitress was great & bonus points for them playing good music. We'll definitely be back for breakfast again & to try their lunch! forgot to mention the prices were great

    I hadn't been back here since the first few weeks they'd opened so I took my kids one morning on a whim. It is a pretty big restaurant with lots of seating for big parties. They have a nice menu with lots of options but nothing too fancy. I decided to try the veggie omelet with country potatoes. The omelet was stuffed full of veggies and was good. The country potatoes were just ok. My daughter got a chorizo burrito and said it was good and my other daughter went with the French toast and said it was delicious. The prices were decent so if you're looking for a nice breakfast spot, this is your place!

    California Omelette & Chili con Carne

    The omelette did not have too much flavour. The chilli con carne was very cold & tastes like it came from a can. The potatoes I can't complain about, very good The service was very friendly. And parking was amazing

NY steak was amazingly tender and cooked perfectly, the kind of steak that really does not need much done to it because the flavor already speaks for itself. They served it with chimichurri sauce, which just was not exactly my cup of tea, but once I added Worcestershire sauce, it really brought out the flavor of an already all-star steak. The Chicken Fried Steak 'n' Eggs with hash browns was also very tasty Steak even the batter had flavor and definitely worth it. The chicken fried steak had that good comfort food quality to it, with a crispy outside, tender bite, and a savory flavor that worked really well with the eggs. The hash browns helped round everything out nicely and even the biscuits and gravy which im generally not a fan of was very good. Service from Holly, and I hope I got that right, was amazing from start to finish. She was friendly, attentive, and made the visit feel easy and comfortable. Even the iced tea stood out to me because it tasted like the homemade sun tea I make every year by the pool, and that gave the whole meal an extra familiar touch. Overall, this was a very strong visit with a standout steak, a satisfying breakfast plate, and excellent service.

Service was fast, staff was pleasant so everything was fantastic! So far, food has been good and I definitely will come back. It's way on the other side of town for me, but it's nice seeing lots of brunch options in Bakersfield these days. Breakfast is my absolute favorite meal of the day, so it's nice to know I have another option. There's lots of parking which is a plus, the other places struggle with parking which makes it hard to visit. Restaurant looks clean, it looks family oriented and they have tons of options for the family. They have tons of tables too, so there's room for everyone. The place stays busy so you know the food is fresh and they keep your coffee cup filled.

Per their website, one of their specialties are the "fluffy pancakes". Omelette had decent amounts of diced ham, sausage and bacon. I found this to be an omelette large enough to share. Hash browns were standard. Pancake was okay but nothing truly spectacular, just average in taste. The pancake was oversized enough to share. Overall I gave this a 8/10 2. PAUL BUNYAN $21.99, two eggs, two bacon, two sausage, a 1/2 pound ham. Ordered with country potatoes and Rye toast. The bacon was amazing!! Thick cut bacon and cooked to perfection. Overall the breakfast was your standard breakfast and definitely large enough to share. 8/10 Restaurant was clean, tables were cleaned off as soon as customers left. And restrooms were clean and fully stocked. Plenty of free parking. Waitstaff were friendly and efficient. The ambiance is pretty laid back. They also have an ice cream bar with 26 gourmet ice cream flavors.
