The Savory Skillet — Restaurant in Fitchburg

Stopped in while we were at Great Wolf. This place is great. I don't believe I had anything bad. We had two big breakfasts (easy to sub out home fries with tator tots or if you wanted a Mickey pancake - great for kids!), tuna melt, beef stew, side of corned beef hash, a steak dish, and a chicken parm. Home fries in the breakfasts were great, cooked well, flavorful, with a crispy outside. The pancake was fluffy and big. Side of hash was canned (they have homemade too), but I love how they cooked it flat and crispy. Tuna melt was well dressed, not dry at all, with crispy buttered bread. The beef stew was delicious, not greasy, wonderfully thick. Coffee is light breakfast/diner coffee, but not acidic. Sometimes, you go someplace that's tart and acidic, which some people like, but I prefer balanced coffee, even if it's lighter.

Service was attentive. They were busy, but turnover was quick. Didn't really see people waiting too long. We were a big party, but they were so nice, and we never felt rushed. The big table near the bar seats is a bit tight when people are trying to get through, but overall a great place. No brainer brunch place if you're...

This place is really fantastic for your classic diner-style breakfast/brunch. They're popular, so there can be a wait sometimes, but the staff is great about managing tables and turn things over quickly. They've got huge coffee mugs now, and they circle regularly with warm-ups. They have specials written on the board which are usually terrific choices - they had an amazing grilled meatloaf and eggs breakfast special this past weekend that was almost as good as homemade. The only mediocre thing I ordered was the cheesy grits, which were a bit too thick, had a skin on them, and tasted of processed cheese, but that's what I get for ordering grits in New England hahaha - but seriously, everything else was fantastic. Portions are large - not ridiculous, but you won't go hungry....
