This is probably one of the most low class restaurants in Elgin. The prices are super cheap because the quality of the food is cheap which is not always bad. Me and my family used to eat there for years until we found a large roach by the window. Even though we decided to give the place another shot, we found another one climbing up the wall right next to my husbands shoulder. When I brought it up to the owner he acted like he didn’t care and just told us our food was free and just went back to the kitchen. Besides the bug infestation, it gets super hot to where family and I started sweating While we were eating which was super uncomfortable to the point where I wanted to just take my food to go. I don’t know if there was a problem with the AC unit but weeks later my friend went to eat there and had the same problem. And to top it off, when I ordered my scrambled eggs with cheese they didn’t even bother mixing the cheese in OR melting it they just put it on top... I also asked for my hashbrowns to be crispy and they were barely even cooked. I then complained about the hash rows and then they sent back burnt hashbrowns. It’s like they didn’t care if we were satisfied with our meal or not. The wait staff is friendly but they’re always on their phones which is not ok especially when your table needs something like I waited about 5 min to ask for my food to be fixed. Unfortunately won’t be going back. It just doesn’t taste the...

No matter how you order your eggs they are fried, to the point that it makes the egg rubbery, enjoy. Burnt hashbrowns with cold centers allows you to really taste that fresh freezer burn. As you enjoy breakfast feel free to glance about. Pay paticular attention to pealing paint by the windows and wonder how in this day in age did they manage to find lead paint. Debris from lack of cleaning has kept it for the most part together so take care not to touch. Follow the stained floor to the one and only restroom that right off the main dining area, it so convenient. As you ask your fellow patrons to allow passage to the facility, remember the walls are thin, so no #2. The staff is really friendly so don't take it out on them, they're doing the best with...

Old fashion diner. Great american food. Update 10-05-24 I came back after some time absence from dining here. I was surprised on how food quality has degraded overtime. I’ve ordered biscuits and gravy and the taste was somewhat rancid. Also the coffee was watery and insipid. Will give a a second try sometime in the near future.

The service was friendly and fast. The food was very good. I had the Southern Benedict. The tomatoes made it. The eggs were poached perfectly. My lovely other half had the cinnamon french toast with scrambled eggs and crispy bacon. The French toast was delicious, and the bacon was crispy. Definitely come in for great meal.

The food is really solid, not out of this world but far from bad. But what makes Golden Skillet special is the fact that you feel at home walking into it. All the workers are so kind and caring, they always make sure that your drinks are full and that your food is made well. The prices are such a good deal.
