Skillet & Grill Restaurant, Arlington, Texas Restaurant Details

Food:

Old little breakfast spot with genuinely nice employees. The food is plentiful, especially considering the great prices. The place turns tables quickly so there's never a wait but it is always busy.

Food:

You will not find a better breakfast/lunch place to eat at in the Arlington area. The food is good and the prices are very reasonable. The waiters have always been very friendly and helpful. My favorite is their Country Fried Steak & Eggs. They serve it up with generous portions, so bring an appetite. Also, it's family owned, and I appreciate that.

The Sunday that just passed (2/28/16) I was leaving church in Fort Worth to come back to Arlington. I take Division St. On occasion and have always wanted to try this place. It was even in my bookmark for restaurants I wanted to try. As my stomach was touching my spine I so happened to pass Skillet N Grill. Wanting to try a place I've never tried before I did a complete U turn just to try this little shack out.

I parked, looked around, then got out of the car. I walked into the restaurant and the very first thing I noticed was "the smell"; it smelled like pure mildew. It was super strong. I tried to ignore it, but it was in the back of my mind the 5 min I was there. The second thing I noticed was the carpet; which is where the smell originates from I'm sure of it. It was really dirty, I'm so sure they've never cleaned the carpet from the first day they opened. I walked behind a customer- first of all, the front layout is really confusing, there are no signs directing customers where to go or anything. So I stood behind this man who was ordering, probably to-go now that I think about it. It was my first time there so I'm not too sure. As soon as I stepped behind him, this Vanilla Ice wanna-be with vibrant blue basketball shorts and messy hair hopped his way up to the front and stared at me for a good second then looked away. No greeting, no can I help you? NOTHING! Not much later a couple walked in and they definitely got the greeting I apparently wasn't worthy of receiving!

As he was about to DIRECT them to a table I let him know that I definitely came in before them, and he says "oh just sit anywhere" nonchalantly, but still directed them to a table. It pissed me off so much, but I guess because it was a Sunday I was going to let it slide. I then walked myself to a random/weird side of the restaurant and sat down. I looked at the table and it looked like ceiling particles had fallen ALL OVER THE TABLE. So in other words, the table was dirty just like the carpet, just like the smell, just like the WHOLE restaurant. I looked over the table wondering what these random particles were for enough time for someone to bring me a menu and ACTUALLY GREET ME. No. One. Came. I hopped up walked out of that dirty/smelly place to never return.

I called the restaurant after I drove off to ask to speak with the manager. No wonder why her employees are terrible, so is she. I gave her a synopsis of my brief interaction with her restaurant and she had this nonchalant tone like Vanilla Ice did. I can tell she didn't give a rat's you know what, and because of that I became infuriated. Then she goes, "Well I don't know what you want me to do! Have a good day!" *CLICK* I called back and asked to speak to her again and her employee asked me "who's calling?" Like the manager personally knows me or something. I asked for a corporate #, and she stated there is none the manager owns it.

So in conclusion I will not be back to this raggedy restaurant. And I will also be calling the health department. Have a good day!

My wife and I had breakfast for the first time at Skillet and Grill today since moving to Mansfield a few weeks ago. The service was great and the coffee was excellent. The pancakes were also delicious. However, we didn't find anything that was so exceptional to make us return. I would give it 5 stars in value as you get huge portions at a very reasonable price. Everything was fine just not worth the drive.

Food:

This is our go to place! The breakfast is better here than anywhere for miles. It blows ihop and Dennys out of the water, and the prices are better too. The service is great! We've been coming here for years, and we've told our whole family and now they come here too.
