Skippers is great for bar food. Also for bar drinks. ITS A BAR. I come here for a quick bite or a quick beer. It can be chaotic at times, but I always get friendly and fast service here. read more

Hungry and pressed for time so we stopped in for lunch today. It was exactly what I expected for a campus eatery. Be sure to grab change for the metered parking (unless you live on/near campus to just walk)! He ordered the gyro platter which included your classic gyro with a side and a drink. I ordered the chicken Gyro. Once we ordered and made our way down the counter to pay, a very confused young lady finished up our order. After minutes of confirming our order, she stated the Tuesday special included a side and drink with a gyro purchase anyway. They have waffle fries that were seasoned and taste really good! If you're thirsty they have Coke products. Indoor/outdoor seating available. Overall the food was pretty good, inexpensive and filling. I wouldn't mind going back for lunch in the future. read more

Eating gyros before an icehockey game, another first for me, new to the States... I was excited about going to a Miami icehockey game as my colleagues had told me how amazing the rink is and how well the team plays. Turns out that the whole experience before and after the game was as interesting as seeing the icehockey itself. We drove up to Oxford on a Friday evening after work and arrived quite early in Skipper's. This pub is a favorite spot for my colleagues because it reminds them of their Miami U years. And as I stepped inside, I understood why. This is not a fancy bar, but it has a lot of advantages: you can arrange the tables as you wish, stay as long as you want without being disturbed, play games, drink beers, as many as you want, eat gyros (delicious! -- but greasy --), drink another beer... A perfect spot for a pre-game time! If I ever come up again for another icehockey game, I definitely would stop at Skipper's again! ps: I don't like beer so the woodchuck hard cider did the job for me! read more

Great food, great beer towers. The outdoor seating is amazing, nice and shaded by the 100 year old tree. all employees are always busy and super helpful to help you decide on what to get if you just don't know. read more

I love Skippers. The food, drinks, workers, and vibe. This place passes my vibe check so hard. It'll be a shame that I won't be able to come to it for 5 months due to the pandemic. Skippers will always have my heart. read more

This is such a great place in town where you can sit and relax and get to know your friends a little bit better, even meet a few people. They play some music and if you really feel it, the upstairs area is a little bit louder. But anyways, the restaurant is great. Good mac 'n cheese bites and beer. Check out their specials and if you are feeling adventurous, take a chance with the beer tower! read more

They have beer towers and waffle fries - need I say more? Best bar/pub food in Ox. Everything here is fried and delicious. Highly recommend waffle fries, chicken tenders, mozzarella sticks, or jalapeno poppers and you will be the happiest person, guaranteed. read more

What a great pub and top deck. If you are in oxford on a Wednesday make sure you stop at top deck for an amazing time at trivia. Food and atmosphere is great. Prices are pretty reasonable. The chicken Philly dipped in bbq sauce is amazing. The food comes fresh and piping hot!! It can be a bit of a wait for the food, only because it is a popular place to eat. Definitely a great recommendation to anyone. read more

One of the best spots in Oxford! Service is always speedy, and the staff are friendly. A must-visit spot if you're in the #1 college town in America! read more

Skippers is a lovely bar and they have friendly staff. My co-workers and I went there for happy hour and we had an amazing time. A friend ordered mozzarella sticks and they were they came out quickly. I definitely would recommend checking out this place if you are in town, go RedHawks! read more

This is the best bar in Ohio -- by far. Every time I've been to Skipper's, it has been the new best day of my life. I see the world differently because of my time at Skipper's. It is a portal into a better world and a better life. read more

This hole in the wall is a phenominal showing of oxford culture. Lots of beer and Great late night food. The gyros are the specialties and get a chicken salad if you want one. read more

Skipper's is another traditional bar in Oxford. It's pretty bland inside, nothing special. The food has always been good there. It's not very big inside at all. The drinks are affordable. They only have one bar inside, so it can be hard to get a drink here. My favorite drink here is called the Slayer. You won't regret it. They have a decent sized patio outside, which is nice to hang out during the summer. read more

Picnic tables and rude students, followed by lousy food for the whole family. Cold fries, burned burger, a salad with more onions than lettuce... Acceptable if you are starving, but not the place to go for a nice last meal when dropping off your student. Disappointed because it was highly acclaimed by the Miami Facebook Parent group. read more

Skipper's pub is the perfect place to grab some food and a beer on a nice warm day because they have a great front patio/seating area. It's actually a great place to eat year round because if its cold outside they serve some great hot dishes and you can cozy up inside and watch one of their TVs on the wall that is always playing. If you get a burger or sandwich or hot dog, you can complimentary fries. Hands down go for the criss-cut fries. Chipotle mayo, ranch, honey mustard, you name it for dipping sauces. All good choices below Cheeseburgers Grilled chicken sandwich Gyros Criss-cut fries Chicken salad sandwich Jalapeno poppers (creamcheese/cheddar) (side salad is not good) The bar itself has a pretty low key scene on the weekends but if you go upstairs to Topdeck you will see people generally trying to get as hammed as possible. On another note the owner is a huge Chicago fan and has numerous memorabilia hanging from his walls. If you are from Chicago and visiting def. talk to this guy, he is the man. read more

Another Oxford original. It's packed during the school year--the beer towers are always a huge hit. Always a little dirty and a lot greasy, don't expect anything gourmet here. But if you're in the mood for great gyros, the best seasoned waffle fries, and cheap beer, you can't really beat it. Head's up, service is at the counter--no servers here. If you want things quick, come on their off hours during the day or in the summer. read more

Do you ever have the urge for the pirate life but realize you are a landlocked, country folk? Then skippers is the place for you! This nautical pleasure in classy Oxford, Ohio combines the inside of a ship with the saltiness of the sea. From the lobster cakes to the crab legs, Skippers manages to catch the freshest selections east of the Mississippi. Have a family? Bring em aboard matey! The sea hardened crew is always looking to serve up the finest aquatic grub. Would go back. read more

Cool college hangout! Good food; the waffle fries were amazing. You can sit on the patio or indoors and enjoy a game. If you don't know what you want people were willing to help out. It was busy, but the food came out quickly. read more

I was in the mood for a tasty yet quick bite to eat, and Skipper's did not disappoint. The mac and cheese bites were very good, and the double cheeseburger was the best cheeseburger I've had in quite some time. The gyros came highly recommended - I'll have to try one the next time I eat here (and there definitely will be a next time). read more

Skippers has the best waffle fries, burger, AND Mac and cheese bites in Oxford. Also, their bathrooms are pretty clean, and its owners are great. Their gyros and salads are amazing too. Their outside seating is also so fun with a beer tower! read more

Gyros are the best and if you want Chicago style hot dogs then you are in the right place. Great Pub Grub - interior could use work but who really cares when the food and prices are so good. read more

Best place in Oxford to grab a beer tower and hAng out on the patio (if it's not too crowded). Skippers has solid food and fast service. The bar is great too. Another plus is that if you don't want to go to the restaurant they offer free delivery. read more

Not worth the price. Gyros were just blah and very dry even with the tzatziki sauce. Burger had no flavor and did not taste fresh. Bummed this place did it live up to the reviews, especially since they just reopened! read more

Skippers is one of my favorite bars to go to when the weather is nice. The outdoor seating is clutch and the drinks are cheap. Also when you're there during the day (or at night), make sure to grab some food. There food is cheap, good, and hot. Perfectly paired with a beer. read more

get drinks outside right next to begal shop. mediocre bar food. packed most nights and can get overwhelming but usually an ok crowd. read more

A place you must visit! Neighborhood bar where the owner to all the tenders were absolutely the nicest friendliest I've seen!

My favorite burger in Oxford. Chicken parm sandwich was pretty good the one time I had it. Not to mention they have amazing sides like waffle fries and Mac n' cheese bites. Open late on the weekends, they deliver food, and you can get beer towers inside or outside. This will be the place I miss most when I leave Oxford. read more

I have been here a few times. If you want everything to go quickly don't go when students are there because it is so packed all the time. Even when the students are there, it's always fun to be around a ton of people. I enjoyed the food I had and I loved the area outside. read more

Timeless. Same great food and non pretentious atmosphere as when I was a student here 20+ years ago. Criss cut fries and burgers are still as excellent as ever. Gyros and much more. Great pub food. read more

Great food, great place to get drunk. The owners are OGs. Love this place, get a gyro.

It gets 5 starts because it is a college bar that has a fun feel to it - and the owner is right there and working the business. BUT - if you are there during peak periods, be prepared to be handled abruptly and have your act together before you order or else you ill be yelled at. That grows old very quickly. Food is good. read more

It's alright for the trashy place on a college campus. If you're not buying beer, don't waste your time.

After spending most nights at Skippers when I was in college, I could not fathom the rude and ridiculous treatment that I received upon returning for a visit. Our friends asked if we could bring in bagels from next door to eat while we had drinks, and the manager very rudely told us "only if you spend more money here," despite the fact that there were no other customers in the restaurant at the time. We incorrectly interpreted this comment as a joke, and after spending roughly $40 in drinks, the manager got extremely aggressive and loud in telling us that "the one stipulation that I said before you brought those bagels in was that you had to spend more money here than you did on bagels." We spent roughly $45 on bagels, and quite frankly it may be representative of the manager's business capabilities if $5 will ruin the business. In the manager's aggressive rant, he also told us "$15 that you spent were before you brought the bagels in, that doesn't count." He then pressured us into buying more drinks just to appease him. This entire experience was completely inappropriate and unacceptable as a paying customer. Quite frankly, Skippers should be ashamed and should take swift and aggressive action to reprimand this manager that clearly does not have any interest in customer service. In all of my encounters with customer service representatives, I have never faced such an absurd and ridiculous degree of aggression and inappropriate behavior. This establishment should rethink its practices, because it is not fiscally responsible to attack and effectively prevent repeat business, especially when the afternoon is slow and there are no other patrons off of whom to profit. read more

Great service, good bar good, fun college atmosphere.

As a very recent Miami grad, I dream of Skipper's. They had a great reputation during all four of my undergrad years for having the best "regulars," cheap drinks and great drunk food. If you really want to hate yourself in the morning, get your Bagel & Deli and stop into Skippers for a side of Jalapeno Poppers. Why go for the Freshman 15 when you can get the Freshman 30? read more

I met my wife here. 5 stars. The food is great. The beer is cold. The atmosphere is electric. read more

We were here for a college football game and stopped by. Decided on the gyros because it was lamb from the bone instead of microwaved or frozen. it was a great choice. The gyros are a good size and you get waffle fries as the side and the fries are delicious. The gyro was absolutely delicious. read more

Skippers has the second best cheese burgers I have ever had...I go there at least once every two weeks to have one. They are known for their burgers and gyros (which are pretty phenomenal as well). It has a great college town atmosphere and it is often so busy you can't even get in the door. read more

Definitely a great place to go for a drink and some food after an afternoon class. My dad LOVES their gyros, and he's super picky, so that's saying a lot for a small town bar. read more

On graduation weekend we ordered their wings and they were outstanding. I also had to add onto our order at the last minute, and their management was great and said no problem. Managers were awesome to work with and had our large order ready on time. Thanks Skippers read more
