The Skillet — Restaurant in Mountain View

I won't give this restaurant the worse rating but not far from it. My husband and I ate there twice dirdur a recent visit to Mt View. I ordered the "award-winning" stir-fry vegetables. The vegs were over-cooked and would have been tasteless if the waiter had not brought the soy sauce I thought was going to be added by the cook. The rice was gummy. I also had the beef tips, which were tough and tasteless. The sauce that the menu implied would have helped had I had any. The "steamed rice" was a rice pilaf leftover from the day before - very gummy again. My husband had the open roast beef sandwich, which he said was tough.

Our waiter at lunch didn't tell us about the lunch specials and our dinner waitress forgot to bring extra napkins we asked for. This restaurant, in our opinion, is way over-priced for the...

I ate here yesterday with some family members. Most of us ordered the 2 piece catfish plate. There was so much food, and the catfish was the biggest pieces of catfish I’ve ever gotten at a restaurant!

I highly recommend this place for the food, staff,...

Great little salad bar. Super fresh and homemade items. I had the chicken fried chicken with mashed potatoes and white gravy. I enjoyed it. Another person at our table ordered the hamburger steak with brown gravy and fries and enjoyed it. Another friend ordered the "World Famous Stir-fry ". She said it was awful. It looked totally over cooked to me. Our server was very nice about it and offered to bring her something else. Blackberry Cobbler and ice cream was her choice!😄 And she really enjoyed that! They did not charge her for her meal. It's a lovely room to sit in with windows all around. There are multiple squirrel feeders outside the window that were entertaining to watch while we ate. The employees were super nice and were...
