Skillet Junction — Restaurant in Jackson

As we entered on a Thursday Morning at about 8:15 AM There were already a few tables there. The place has a real nice vibe very retro great music and you can small the biscuits coming out of the oven. WE were greeted quickly, the hostess had a great smile and she was very welcoming.

We ordered a Mimosa and a Espresso Martini and later I had a Spicy Bloody Mary, all three were great and served promptly by Aryan our server. Our server Aryan was wonderful

I ordered the Traditional Eggs Benedict of which I tend to be very critical of. The Hollandaise was perfect, the poached egg was also perfect, The Canadian bacon was sliced thick but not so thick you struggle to cut it. My English Muffin was nicely toasted. I also ordered Pancakes of which I am a expert of sorts after being a RVP for IHOP they were fluffy thick and beautifully grilled.

Pam ordered the King Benedict but because she has Celiac she asked for hash browns instead of a muffin. Again the Hollandaise, poached egg were great. The Avocado was mostly black and mushy, it was obviously cut the day before or it was a bit old to start with. The hash browns were oily and were littered with black carbon specs from the grill. So all she ate was the poached eggs, Hollandaise and a bit of the crab. We informed our server of the issue and she was very apologetic (She is also the Owner/Reginia/Chefs daughter.

When we received the check we asked for the manager and Reginia Owner/Chef came to the table. I first told her that my meal was wonderful. At this point I was still considering 4 Stars. She then proceeded to try to convince me that the Avocado was black and mushy because of the hot egg. When I brought up the hash browns she told me that she can not be responsible for the quality of the food when people ask for a substitution. I asked how does that explain the specs of black carbon through the hash brown and the oil in the plate that you could soak up with a towel. She did all this with a smile. At this point I am a bit peeved and calmly told her we would have no problem paying half of that one dish as half was inedible. She refused and walked away with a smile. This made me sad as this would have been a great weekend spot for us to hang out in,

Warning be carful when asking for substitutions in...

⭐️⭐️⭐️ | Mixed Experience at The Skillet Junction

While visiting Jackson, Tennessee for the first time, my sister, our two little girls (ages 3 and 4), and I decided to try The Skillet Junction based on several recommendations. Unfortunately, our experience was a mix of highs and lows.

Let’s start with the good: Our server was kind, professional, and very helpful throughout our visit. The traditional Benedict was delicious—flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and a definite highlight. The grits were wonderfully creamy, and the coffee was exceptional—smooth, rich, and honestly one of the best parts of the meal. The bathroom was also impressively clean and cozy, and the plants in the tub? Adorable and relaxing. The vintage style of the whole house adds charm, and the hostess was lovely as well.

Now for the not-so-great: I ordered the veggie omelet and was extremely disappointed. It was way overcooked, dry beyond saving, and had that unfortunate “egg stuck to the skillet” smell. I couldn't get past the first bite without feeling nauseous. They did offer to make another, which I appreciated, but I declined. With their no refund and no exchange policy, I was stuck paying for something I physically couldn’t eat or even take home. If this is the standard for omelets, I understand the policy—it must come up often.

The kids had pancakes and sausage, which were fine, but I was disappointed that the $2 fruit cup side was clearly not fresh-cut fruit—just the pre-packaged kind. For a place with a strong reputation, that felt like a corner cut. The beignets we ordered as an appetizer were another letdown: undercooked, tough, and lacking flavor.

Next time, I’ll be ordering a couple of mimosas to help drown out the taste. 🤣🪣

I won’t say this will be my last time visiting—because I did enjoy parts of the experience—but I will be giving my friends a heads-up about what to look out for. Some things shine, and others just fall flat. It’s worth a visit if you know what to order—and maybe...

Skillet Junction – Where Breakfast Truly Meets Soul

If you're anywhere near The Neely House, do yourself a favor and carve out time for a visit to Skillet Junction. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by a warm, modern atmosphere that perfectly balances Southern charm with contemporary flair. The service? Impeccable—friendly, attentive, and welcoming without being overbearing.

Now let’s talk food—because every single bite was absolutely delicious.

The brisket was melt-in-your-mouth tender, with just the right amount of smoky char that let you know it was slow-cooked with love. It paired perfectly with sunny-side-up eggs and a golden, fluffy biscuit that tasted like it came straight from a Southern grandma’s kitchen.

One of the standouts? The pancakes with rum syrup. That syrup is a showstopper—rich, warm, and laced with just enough spiced sweetness to elevate the dish without overpowering it. A true game-changer! Just go ahead and dip your waffle too!

Now, let’s talk about the hashbrown casserole. Don’t expect the usual griddle-style potatoes—this was a creamy, cheesy bake with onions, no peppers needed. It was remarkable, warm, and satisfying in every bite.

We also sampled a hearty breakfast plate with scrambled eggs, sausage, cheesy hash brown casserole, a biscuit, and a pancake that was golden and fluffy—comfort food at its best.

To top it off, the cocktail menu offered great brunch options. The drink I tried (from the photos, it looks like the Watermelon Lemon Drop or Peach Manhattan) was refreshing and well-balanced—strong, yet smooth.

Final Thoughts: Skillet Junction nails it on all fronts—flavor, hospitality, presentation, and atmosphere. Whether you're craving soulful brunch classics or looking to treat yourself to something memorable, this spot should be high on your list. I’ll...
