Not Great.
Great Corner. Sitting outside is a pleasure. Vibe is good for what it is. Food barely passable.

Plastic Solo cups served with my dine-in meal...on my plate no less is unforgivable even for a pub.

Ordered a steak medium rare I got it well done. I paid 33 for it, I should get what I ordered for at that price.

Don’t go there for the food! -Ordered the vegan burger and a friend the Shepards pie. To be brief-bland, dry and no flavor in anything. The burger had no sauce and literally nothing but dry almost burned-It was so bad that I took the time to write this. The fries were the frozen Macdonald’s thin one minus the crispy, the warmth and the flavor. The pie- was hamburger meat in a sauce with some veggies-again no flavor. Disappointed!

If you want the " flair" of a Manhattan restaurant without the " hustle and bustle", try this great venue in Sunnyside, New York. They prepare great drinks, that'll get you primed up for some good eating! And you'll love the service and the prices!!!

Service was slow and the burger was not cooked to the temperature I requested (it was well done, but I requested medium).

Nice neighborhood bar and grill. Reasonable value and good food. Worth a stop if you are looking for a bar and grill in Sunnyside but not worth a trip to Sunnyside to visit.

I wanted to like The Skillman, the space is very cute and it has great outdoor sitting. However, there's a few things that leave me short from even liking it. Been here for brunch on a Saturday and 2pm on a weekday. The menu is different, their brunch didn't include many vegetarian options. There's no coffee or non-alcoholic section in the menu for the lunch menu in the weekday menu. The website's menu is misleading than the one they have in the place.
I will say the staff has always been nice and I do like the space, as well as the music, yet not been able to order consistently, and having low options for vegetarian's is not enough for me to come a third time.

I specifically gave instructions for a burger cooked well-done because I am pregnant and pregnant women cannot eat undercooked meat. The burger arrived red inside, visibly very undercooked. I called the restaurant to explain and the woman on the phone was EXTREMELY RUDE. She told me, “I’m sure the burger was cooked well-done.” This was literally after I explained to her it was not. Well, look at the photo, since you don’t believe me. Instead of apologizing to a customer and trying to rectify the situation, you chose to gaslight me. TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE.

In October of 2023, we had my daughter's wedding reception at The Skillman. From the start, the owner Gary couldn't have been more receptive. He was patient as he answered all of my questions and concerns as we began the planning process from a distance, as I live in Florida but my daughter and her husband live in Queens. He was up front about pricing because he didn't know what the market would be when the time came to prepare food but gave me an estimate which was spot on. We personally met Gary about 5 months before the wedding and he was was warm and gracious. On the day of the wedding Gary was available to us and couldn't do enough for us. The food served was delicious and his staff was gracious and couldn't do enough for us and our guests. The ambiance that The Skillman provided us was bar none. It was a very special evening that my family and our guests still talk about to this day.When we are back in town, we will make sure to stop in The Skillman. Thank you Gary for your exemplary hospitality.
