This place is great if you like good music and racing to the toilet before paying your overpriced bill. This is my 4th morning in a row dining here (only because there is literally no other option within a 3 mile, walking radius) and dis gurl gets da shizziez EVERY TIME! I always enjoy having a morning run…unless it's in the bathroom.
I know I'm not alone in this predicament because while I'm in there, at least two or three other gals always come a runnin' making the unmistakable, universal sound. Alas, at least this place is good for the laughs.
This morning, my guest had the same issue, and the only menu item we shared in common was the coffee… So maybe it's the water or maybe it's the creamers… who knows? But it's definitely something!
Might I suggest a bathroom vending machine stocked with baby wipes and air freshener?
I always order the eggs over-easy. They are pretty good. However, the hashbrowns are hit-or-miss, and I'm an expert. The waffles are average at best, and the French toast is nothing to write home about. As for the "famous scones"...meh.
The only thing more disappointing than the food is the service. I've had a variety of the servers here, and nearly all of them, with the exception of a few, have a permanent expression of aggravation. At SKILLETS the guests have to work to earn the servers smiles. I tipped 25% - 30% each visit, so I don't get it. Maybe it's possible to special-order a smile, but I didn't see it on the menu.
In a train wreck such as Bonita Beach SKILLETS, the only one to blame is the conductor. The owners & management should take responsibility for the lack of standards and the poor training. Also consider adding turkey bacon to the menu…duh.
Finally, If I could recommend one thing it would be to put speakers in the bathroom because SKILLETS plays a great mix of music and also it would drown out the other disquieting sounds.
Alas, until there's another breakfast place nearby, I guess I'll be coming back and rolling the dice, or maybe I'll be fasting. I just hope next time, I remember to...
Read moreI called in my order today and this was my first and last time visiting this establishment. The first red flag was the person answering the phone holding conversations with other guests while trying to take my order. She cut me off each time I spoke. When I was sure I had her attention, I specifically advised her that I could not have tomatoes with my dish due to allergies. I also requested rye toast. When I arrived to pick up my order, they decided to not only cover my dish in tomatoes, but went the extra mile to add extra tomatoes. When I called back and spoke with the same person, she reviewed the ticket and confirmed they made a mistake and offered to remake it. Of course I declined, as they also gave me the wrong toast. If employees can't read and follow their own instructions, obviously I'm not patronizing their establishment. She offered to refund it off of my ticket, which I agreed to, and while I was waiting for clarification, she hung up the phone. So if incompetence and rudeness sounds like the perfect Sunday morning experience, by all means, Skillets is the place for you. If not, I'd suggest finding another place to enjoy a...
Read moreWorse experience ever!! When we were seated the server avoided us the whole time; we did not get offered any water or coffee but everyone else were served immediately. Apparently and very obviously the server Rebecca had our table but never did she come to our table. Another waitress who was outright rude to us as she clearly stated that Rebecca is our server and did not want to assist us at all. We had to plea and beg the other server for at least some coffee and water. When she returned with the waters/coffee we begged for her to take our order. After the horrendous attitude from the server we kept asking for the manager to no avail until we stood at the front counter and asked for the manager quite a few more times at that point we were met with indifference and again more rudeness from management . I see were the employees learn how to act- the...
