I love Skips, the food is always phenomenal and the service (most nights) is great. Unfortunately, my most recent visit on 10/15/25 was unprofessional and disappointing to say the least. After a long and stressful day, my date and I walked in and immediately sat at the bar for dinner. Our server, Alicia took our drink order fairly quickly considering she had two other couples at the bar eating. After some time passed we were ready to order, however she refused to take our order and demanded my date (who is a regular customer and big spender) “marinate” longer before she would take our order. This banter quickly escalated to name calling. In front of me and the other patrons sitting at the bar, she called my date a “ Misogynist.” When I attempted to order on our behalf, I was ignored. When my date tried to order again, he was ignored. When she was finally willing to take our order, we ordered our appetizers and entrees at the same time to avoid further delays. While we were eating, our server then began to whisper in my dates ear, gossiping about an employee who was recently terminated and the reason for her termination. I immediately advocated for this employee by calling her out, followed by explaining the legal repercussions her statements could potentially have to the restaurant owner. Her unprofessional behavior didn’t stop there. Alicia began speaking poorly about my date to the couple on the other end of the bar who just paid and were getting ready to leave. Then she grabs her phone and shows the couple a picture of her and my date taken at Skips last month during the time my date and his friends were there. She proceeded to share the selfie photo with me by putting her phone directly in my face while I was trying to eat. I respectfully responded by telling her to stop and allow me to enjoy my meal.The unprofessional service and odd behavior continued with her grilling me on where, when, and how long ago I had met my date. She continued to insult my date and express her love for the “F Word” in front of me AND the remaining couple seated at the bar. The situation was so gross and uncomfortable for both me and my date, so much so, I went outside to wait while he settled our bill.

Loved the food, the service was great, but we could not even have a normal conversation due to the loud table next to us.

I saw this place has over 1,000 reviews and it had almost 5 stars so we were very excited to try. Unfortunately we will not be back. The atmosphere is crammed, you are one foot away from the table next to you, and it is insanely dark in there. It took us 10 minutes to even get waters and our server was annoyed when we asked for straws. We ordered the spinach artichoke dip and it was good, but was 99% garlic and took over 30 minutes to get. I ordered the walleye and you would have thought it came out a freezer box. The breading was not great and soggy and the fish was super thin. The fries and salad were good, but we did have to ask for the salad because only one was brought to the table with dinner instead of two so the server had to reorder it because only one was placed. Overall pretty disappointed about the experience

Food was a bit salty for our taste, the room was very loud. Even the staff had to raise their voice to be heard, but the service was great.

The dining experience was neutral overall. Nothing was wrong, but nothing stood out either. The food was ordinary, and the service was average. A fine spot for a simple meal.

Wow, great place! Out of towners here- loved the atmosphere but Lexi and Alicia at the bar made our visit extra special. Not only was the food delicious (spinach & artichoke dip & Blackened salmon pasta) but the service was amazing. Happy to reccomend this place!
Top notch everything!
