The service was quick initially, however it took a while to get refills for drinks. The food was pretty good, but nothing to bend over backwars for. The atmosphere definitely fits the 65+ community, but was welcoming. I would recommend, and if I'm ever back in town, I would come back. 👍

Big Skillet Restaurant & Pancake House is an experience that goes far beyond breakfast. From the moment you step in, the smell of sizzling batter, bacon, and fresh coffee hits(filling, warm, invigorating) and instantly sets the tone for the day. The staff greet you like old friends, remembering regulars and guiding newcomers through the menu with genuine enthusiasm.

Three times I came here for a pickup order something is missing. I'm from out of town so when I am here I usually come to this spot, it used to be really really good but now things are changing. It's turning into the gas station restaurant like they have down the street. Ill drive to the east side of town next time. This place might as well change the name, they are not the original big skillet.
