    Diner

    Quick service, diner atmosphere, hot food. Stopped here with my mom for breakfast. I ordered a skillet and mom ordered the pancake platter special. The special comes with links and bacon. Mom asked for all bacon, server substitutes no problem. Food was served hot right off the grille, actual steam from the plate! My one and only problem was they had no sour cream :-/. Next time I visit my mom I'll go back!

    Love the welcoming touches like this cutest little bird!

    On our travels we stopped at this wonderful place to have breakfast!!! We were about an hour away when we picked a place to stop by: somewhere open, somewhere with breakfast and we licked out! I am doing a keto and sugar free diet and they didn't judge me at all when I brought my own sugar free creamer in. Super welcoming and friendly. PLUS delicious food! Highly recommend for fellow travelers! Very nice place and good vibes.

    Breakfast crepe was exceptional, crispy in all the right places. Fresh mushrooms! My diabetic dining partner did not have trouble finding a tasty meal. Coffee was good. Service was excellent. Our waitress was very sensitive to our needs, being right there when we needed her. Price was reasonable. We weren't sure about the ambiance when we walked in, but once seated if felt comfortable.

    Amazing food! Not the best coffee but everything else makes up for it. Friendly staff and not a long wait even though they're busy

    Carmen chided her aunt to see the dish as a whole rather than as a sum of parts of a pig.

    My girl & I met some friends for a lunch at the Hot Skillet. We hadn't been in the building since it housed Takokat, an interesting Mexican restaurant that closed probably during the early days of the pandemic. The interior of Hot Skillet seemed brighter, and the restaurant certainly was busier than expected. (Takokat and its predecessor in the building, Cafe 237, never seemed to acquire the type of following each deserved.) Even so, our server was attentive and took good care of us. My girl & the others ordered breakfast, while I checked out the establishment's Reuben sandwich & fries. Our friends ordered meat & potato breakfasts, and expressed contentment. My girl asked that eternal question, "Does your Eggs Benedict come with real Canadian bacon?" and the answer from the server was, "Yes." Real Canadian bacon comes from the lean eye of the pork loin and my girl, after tasting the protein sitting under the poached eggs & Hollandaise sauce, was unconvinced. On the other hand, the poached eggs were perfectly soft and the Hollandaise sauce was unbroken (personally, my biggest gripe about the dish in restaurants). My Reuben sandwich was grilled on a flattop and had ample protein & sauerkraut. The fries were tasty & were coated with something that wasn't objectionable. My coffee was yummy & hot. The prices were typical of what is seen now in these post pandemic times for breakfast & lunch dishes. If in Paw Paw, we'd eat here again.

    This review is based on one of the concerts held in the summer, not the winery itself…read more For the price, this trip wasn't as good as expected. We "bought" a table-4 seats, blocked by the stage. That was pricey enough. Don't come hungry! What you're looking at here are two of the things offered on their menu. Tasty to be sure, and prices reflect what we've come to expect from the Warner concert series. The least expensive food was a hot dog ($9). My biggest concern was the way waitstaff carries their beverages. No tray, and there could be one. Cupped beverages were carried by the lip. A standard paperboard carrier would handle 4. Our waitstaff carried the two canned beverages we ordered in his pockets. Clever, yes-but the poor guy was sweaty and it wasn't appealing to drink something that had been in anyone's pockets! I think Warners could do better by their employees and patrons for the prices charged.

    Disappointed to have to give 3 stars because this venue has such potential to be a great music…read morescene. Unfortunately, we arrived hungry, expecting the table service that was said to be included in our seat selection but were immediately told the kitchen was too behind on tickets to accept any orders--told us 15 tickets behind. Nicole also told us that the kitchen was not allowing any new orders. We ordered drinks and were giving it some time for them to clear tickets before checking back to order. Next time we asked about ordering, she told us the kitchen was behind 50 tickets and we could not order food. Irritating but whatever, we got permission to order DoorDash--that didn't come either but that's a whole thing in itself. So we drank on empty stomachs which is not the best idea and enjoyed Guster. Some time passes and she returns to tell us she's leaving for the night and Caleb would come take care of us. We never met Caleb. So we go to get our own drinks from the walk up bar and surprise! They had food options! We ask if we can order something annnnd the kitchen was now closed. Guster was amazing as usual but the venue has work to do. Paying for a seat that includes table service and barely getting service is unacceptable. If they expect to charge the prices they do, they're going to have to step it up. Check em out, beautiful venue--but I wouldn't recommend coming hungry!

    We stopped in on jan. 1st at the Paw Paw location (in the strip mall with the auto parts store and…read morebuffalo bills tobacco shop) around lunch time- and were greeted with superb customer service. There were two ladies in working at that time and the front one working the sandwich area at that time was amazing. A young woman, who had darker hair and (a nose ring, I believe-whose name I did not catch, unfortunately) went ABOVE and BEYOND! I had 2 small kids with me and we had a bit of an accidental water spill. This woman noticed that we had a spill (we tried to clean it up ourselves) and she noticed and came in with the mop to help clean it up (although we had mostly cleaned it), she put up the wet floor sign even though we were the only ones in the restaurant (to warn possible incoming patrons about the slippery floor). She also offered to trim down my kids' straws since they had a small cup and the straw was WAAAY too long. ALL of this was just the "little" extra things that were not at all LITTLE nor did they go unnoticed. The BIGGEST point I came here to say, though, was that she KNOWS how to make a sandwich!!! I order a Very FULL sandwich, and to start- She placed the meat correctly so that when it is folded- the sandwich actually closes, she also used the knife to help her assist in folding the sandwich closed- which helps in not losing any of the toppings. I also ask for A LOT of lettuce, she put on the RIGHT amount the FIRST time out (most other sandwich artists I have to ask them to add "more" 3 times and even then, usually it is still not enough lettuce). She also used her "common sense" when adding the ingredients to my sandwich- the cucumbers' freshness was Questionable, so she DUG down towards the bottom of the bin to get a colder, fresher batch of cucumbers. I do not live in or near town- so when I need a sandwich I have at least a 25 minute commute, that being said, I can choose any of the surrounding towns to go to. There are three other towns that I could choose to go to which are closer or the same distance as The Paw Paw Subway location, but I will choose to go to the Paw Paw location much more often now, knowing that this lady works here. Hoping this review finds her because she needs to know how awesome she is! (yes I wrote this 24 days later, thats how GREAT she is!!)

    In times like these, even a cheezburger can be a nice reminder that no matter how dark it gets,…read morewe're all in this together- that even with everything going on, we at least can go out and get a bagful of beefy, cheesy goodness. So off we went to McDonalds today, to get ourselves a little emotional pick-me-up (and to take advantage of some of the coupons on the app). I mean, let's face it- you can cook at home, but sometimes you need a little emotional love from some fast food, because it just takes you back mentally, you know? Some people say that no matter where you are in the world, McDonald's food will always taste the same no matter what- but you know what? It reminds me of my childhood, and with all the bad news, sometimes I like to go back to thinking of the days I got Happy Meals with a toy and realized no matter what that everything was going to be all right. I will add in one caveat to this McDonalds, though- before you pull away, check your bags to make sure you got everything you ordered. We've been past this location a few times and somehow something always seemed to be forgotten in our order- hamburgers, Quarter Pounders, ten piece nuggets, fries- I really wish they'd at least look in the bag before they hand it over, because it's a pain in the behind to have to sit there with whoever is out there handing us the stuff because we won't leave until we get what we ordered, and it's happened enough times that maybe the manager ought to say something about it. But still, at the end of the day, this is still McDonalds, and I'm looking forward to trying some of the new menu hack burgers they're pushing now- I've heard of the Land, Sea, and Air, but I never, ever thought of trying one...

    I really hate to do this, especially to a local business, but the reviews are accurate…read more Outrageous wait times.
