“Will definitely come here again!“

“We were passing through town and stopped at Skillets Cafe for lunch. We had Katie as our server and she was fantastic! She was very knowledgeable about the menu, and made sure we had everything we need and more. The portions are very generous and every bit worth the money spent. Stop in and ask for Katie to be your server!!“

“The food was very good! Our server Gabe was awesome! He was very friendly and took good care of us“

“Food was great and reasonably priced from the appetizer to the main entree and drinks. It was all wonderful! Service was phenomenal!!! I highly recommend asking for Emily. She’s a great server! We are only sad we didn’t come sooner. We didn’t get a picture, but presentation is also excellent. Wait time wasn’t long for our food and zero wait time for a table. We will be back!!“

“There food is always good not once Bad and hot plus they get your food to you right as they pull it from the friers and other things they use to cook But if you go to the drive through expect around 30 minute wait give or take if there's only one car in front of you if there's more than that it's too long of a wait for it if you really don't want to eat inside the restaurant“

“My wife, friends and I had a great experience at Side Pockets in Blue Springs. They have great pool tables, super tasty jalapeño cheese bites and fun dart machines as well.

The only off-putting experience for me was when we were initially trying to play on the dart machines. A prompt popped up on the screen for some kind of registration process that could be bypassed but we weren’t sure how to do it. After a very polite employee tried to override it for several minutes and couldn’t figure it out, he called over another gentleman who asked/stated things like (paraphrased): “Who touched the buttons?” “I figured this out in 9 seconds.” “I blame the educational system.” Just some arguably degrading things. One of my friends had jokingly pointed at me when he asked who had touched the machine but I hadn’t actually been the one to mess with it and he still said those things.

I still want to leave five stars. After all, maybe I misread the situation. But it seemed like misplaced humor and slightly rude at the time. Especially when the other employee couldn’t seem to solve the problem either (he may have been intending to poke fun at his employee as opposed to us).

Regardless, it was a fun experience overall and I give a big thanks to the staff for being overwhelmingly helpful and inviting. The waitresses were very proactive in ensuring we were taken care of while we were there.“
