This was our first time coming to Skipjack and went for brunch on Sunday 2/2/2025. Our waitress was excellent her name is Tina she greated us with a smile and made sure we were doing fine. I had there special omelet and my boyfriend had there Chesapeake Benedict both breakfasts were excellent. Plus for drinks I had a mimosa and he had the bloody mary both were excellent. The place was highly recommended from a great friend and We were glad we tried the restaurant. We will definitely be back. We highly recommend this place. Xoxo Melissa Greto Pete Kane.

Great stop for some seafood. The swordfish was absolutely delicious. I did also try their apple pie skillet but I didn't think that was very good. Nice local spot for a good bite to eat and a drink.

A comfortable atmosphere for a more-than-casual dining experience. Delicious food and quality service.
Parking: The configuration of the parking lot is odd.

Taste of food was very good and nice selection, although it was a bit cold getting to the table. Service was so-so, long gaps checking on the table and forgetting to bring things requested. All in all, I would try again and hope that I caught them on a short staffed evening.

This was our 3rd time there but don’t plan on going back. Service and atmosphere was excellent. However, even though many folks love the menu, we didnt find it that appealing. I really needed a hacksaw to cut into the antelope ribs and the crab cakes were smothered with so much other stuff they were hardly recognizable. The bill was $240 for 4 and we don’t drink. Probably should have had a few martinis to reconcile to the bill. 😩

Great food and service. Makes you feel very comfortable. Highly recommend!!
I don't usually leave restaurant reviews, but felt compelled to do it this time. The 1st time we ate here, the food was average, but we wanted to give it a 2nd chance. Unfortunately, we will not be back. We had dinner reservations on a Sunday night and were seated right away. The restaurant was 3/4 empty, so we assumed the service would be prompt. We sat at our table for about 15 minutes until a server approached us. She gave us 2 waters, that were actually glasses of weird tasting flat club soda that came from a pitcher she thought was water. Anyway, after that was rectified, we ordered our dinner. My wife ordered a salad with a salmon topper. She said it was ok, but the portion was very small for the price. I ordered appetizers for my dinner - sea-cuterie, crispy brussels sprouts and crispy buttermilk calamari. The sea-cuterie was advertised as BBQ oysters, shrimp cocktail, seafood cake, and prosciutto-wrapped scallops. What I actually received were 2 scallops that were NOT wrapped with anything, shrimp cocktail consisting of 3 medium sized shrimp with weird tasting cocktail sauce, 3 tiny baby crab claws smothered in white aioli that I needed to rub off to get to the miniscule meat, and an inedible dry and black charcoal burned seafood cake shaped like a meatball. My guess is that they ran out of BBQ oysters and chose to substitute them with the tiny crab claws. I asked the waitress if she could get me an unburned seafood cake, which she did without question after looking at what I had in my plate. She came back with another seafood meatball that looked good from the outside, but was cold, hard as a rock, and dry as sand on the inside - again inedible. I gave up at this point on this plate, which was way over priced at $25 for the quality I received. My other 2 appetizers tasted good, but the crispy brussels sprouts were not crispy and they were swimming in loads of oil. The crispy buttermilk calamari tasted good, but was more mushy than crispy and many pieces were fused together. When the check came, the waitress offered to replace my clearly uneaten seafood meatball for another order of shrimp (3) cocktail, so kudos to Crystal! So clearly not a good dining experience. Come on Skipjack Dining, you should and NEED to do better than this.

The service was wonderful. Despite being by a couple who were leaving, that service was awful. It wasn't. We had a fantastic waitress and a great ambience. My problem was the limited menu. I found a pasta dish I liked but if you're looking for menu variety you might not like this too much.
