This was my first time returning to Skipjack in 10 years. It's a good sign that it must be doing well if it's still here. We wanted to sit at the bar, which was pretty crowded, but we were able to get seats. Shelby, the bartender, was friendly, and we started with crispy Brussels sprouts, which were tasty with a chipotle dipping sauce. We also ordered the pork tenderloin and a grouper special served on grilled watermelon, which of course, I had to try. The food was creative, original, and delicious. We definitely want to try the brunch menu.

Was in the neighborhood for the afternoon only, never been here before. I went solely on the reviews for this restaurant. And they are 100% correct.
I got the crab cake entree...other reviewers on here say it's full of crab meat, which is true, but they forgot to mention that it is filled with HUGE delicious chunks of crab meat.
So hard to find good crab cakes these days. I hope I pass through here again I will definitely be coming back.
And the wait staff was excellent as well.... very attentive and very nice.

Went for dinner after a date day at Winterthur. It was only a 20 min drive or so. The dining room is very elegant and nicely decorated with the marine theme… linen on the tables and cloth napkins. (Also eco-friendly.) We walked in at 6 pm on a Saturday and were seated immediately. Food came out very quickly, so quickly that she told us to let us know when we were ready for our entrees bc she didn’t want to bombard us.
We got turnip and parsnip bisque (SO delicious), and for appetizers the Brussels sprouts and calamari. I typically don’t like marinara on my calamari, but I have absolutely no notes on the calamari (and I’m admittedly a bit of a calamari snob). My husband got the sirloin and I got the roast chicken. The sirloin was actually cooked rare, and it was done incredibly well (just not well done). Everything was positively delicious and amazing. At first, we thought the portion size for dinner was kinda small, but honestly it was just the right size, and I didn’t even finish all of my risotto.
The only thing I was sad about… they were out of the crème brûlée, and it was the only dessert either of us wanted.
The menu isn’t extensive, but I always think of what Gordon Ramsay would say in that restaurant show… “Jack of all trades, master of none.” It’s not a bloated menu, and the quality of the food shows.
Don’t get me wrong, sometimes I want garbage, mediocre, American diner food. This place is NOT that, and it won’t break the bank. (Only $100 for two people with two entrees, two appetizers AND soup, and WAYYYY better quality than any chain restaurant.) Next time, I probably won’t wear jeans and a hoodie though, heh.

We prefer to sit at the bar, but sometimes it fills up fast- thats the only downfall! The food ia always good. The owner likes to spruce up the menu with interesting and new stuff, the drinks are great, and service is always good and friendly

I went inside for takeout and the food was excellent. The barmaid was extremely friendly. However it's my go to restaurant on my day off. I truly enjoyed the atmosphere. The friendliness that I was shown i give it over 10. I love the crab sandwich with the sweet potato fries. And the Brussels sprouts were exactly what I wanted. The you Skipjack dinning

The food was good and we enjoyed it very much. Service was excellent.
This is a really nice place, We enjoy sitting at the bar. Shelby and Colleen are top notch barmaids, but they will lose a star if they take Guinness off tap! The food is very good, just go, you will have a good experience.

I met a group of friends on a week day for lunch. Most of us ordered from the special summer lunch menu. I think everyone enjoyed their lunch. I was recovering from a very bad IBS flare up so. I wanted something simple. I had a very nice green salad with roasted chicken breast. It was a little more salty than I like but otherwise excellent and perfectly portioned. Highly recommend Skipjack's for lunch.
