Skillet Counter @ Seattle Center

What kind of breakfast place doesn't open till 11

Prices were astronomical but the breakfast burrito, bacon jam burger were amazing. Kids soup and grilled cheese and mac and cheese were ok. Easy walk from the science center so convenient and great service

Went for the first time with a friend yesterday. They had a GF bun which I was excited about, and waitress was nice when greeting us.

It’s pretty expensive, even for Seattle - over $45 for a burger and margarita.

However, I got my burger and the meat tasted so off… I couldn’t even stomach more than a few bites. The smell of it was just terrible.

I went back to the counter to politely let her know, apologizing even, and the waitress then proceeded to tell me that maybe something was off with my senses. She suggested I might have allergies and my taste buds may not be working properly. She told me they use the highest quality beef, and customers love it, and that no one has complained yet today so it must be me…

I was truly shocked lol

She agreed to replace it, luckily, and I got a grilled chicken sandwich instead. It was good, but the chicken came chopped up in a bunch of small pieces which I thought was odd for a sandwich. I ended up eating it with a fork lol

For what it’s worth my friend got the fried chicken sandwich and loved it 🤷‍♀️

I should maybe rate zero stars if there is the option I usually love the food here but today I witnessed the lady giving the food from behind the counter coming to the garbage pushing the garbage with her hands to compress the items inside the garbage and then dragging the bin bringing another bin and then without washing or changing her gloves she handed out the food. also how can you serve me a kale salad without croutons when that's all the dish is kale and croutons you could at least tell me you're out of croutons.

Good food and good service!

Food was AMAZING as always

The environment was clean and staff were polite. The Jam burger was such a unique burger but so good. We had a great time.

Everything we ordered was delicious, such well thought out flavors and good portion sizes. The garlic fries are soooo garlicky

Kids chicken strips are dark meat! They had too much breading on them as well and they looked kind of burnt. My kid didn’t like it. I said it can’t be that bad, then I tried it and it was gross. Fatty and gross dark meat. Unless you like that sort of thing. Then I got my chicken sandwich. It was only the same gross, dark meat chicken strip on a bun. Lots of fat and gristle. Terrible sandwich. Service was good, the food was not. At least the chicken strips and chicken sandwich were anyway. Fries were good. Kids burger was good. Soup and grilled cheese was good. Bacon jam burger was good. And the kale Caesar salad was basic but good. Nothing note worthy about it though. Mainly disappointed in the chicken.

Expensive, $23 for a basic sandwich, but reflected in the quality. The cashier today (01/04/25 afternoon) was extremely warm and accommodating, laid back but professional, great energy to everyone in line. Left a tip which I almost never do even when not paying so much!

Chicken & crisp were perfect! But the Nashville hot sandwich was more “hot” than “Nashville”- needs more flavor in the marinade if you’re going to douse it in sauce

Seating structure & layout was awkward, we sat somewhere else. Will try again!

Try the Good Burger!

Great customer service. Everyone was friendly with a smile. Food portions (especially kids) were beyond generous!!! Super tasty!!

Visiting from Canada, Alex has been the best server we’ve has since we’ve arrived, great food and vibrant exclusive atmosphere. Lovely place!

Great atmosphere and food options. Staff were friendly and did their jobs well. Food was great, and for a good price (for being in the Armory).
