We ate off the lunch buffet, the food was good as was the service and the price was reasonable. The atmosphere and scenery is awesome!

The service staff are very friendly and attentive. The main dining room has a beautiful cathedral ceiling. Relics from decades past decorate the dining room. The dinner buffet on this particular night included sliced roast beef, hamburger steak, teriyaki chicken with rice, bbq chicken wings, mashed potatoes, fried sweet potatoes, fried potatoes, corn, turnip greens, brown gravy, and baked cabbage wedges. Yeast rolls and cornbread were available as well as a salad bar. This restaurant offers real butter in little sealer cups for customers' use. IMO this puts them a step above many other restaurants that use margarine instead of butter. Desserts included some kind of cobbler and a pudding parfait. Their iced tea is fresh brewed. Although the buffet isn't a large buffet, the selection of meats and vegetables are ample for a pleasant meal reminiscent of grandma's southern home cooking.

Stopped by after some fun over at the sylmore shooting range, just after 12:30 pm, no wait at a beautiful place, had the catfish and it was as good or better than I have had at other places around. Highly recommend.

We ate here for Blue Grass and Fried Chicken. The food was pretty good for a buffet. The people working here are very friendly and it's got a nice southern feel.

The Skillet has great views from the windows; we enjoyed watching a dozen squirrels, one groundhog, and myriad birds busying themselves on the beautiful grounds outside! The staff is also fantastic; easily 5 out of 5 stars on service! (They pulled this review up from 2-stars to 3.) Alas; the food was disappointing. My Skillet Chicken Pot Pie looked great - but had such a rubbery crust that I could barely cut it. Frankly, it was hard to choke down. The small Salad Bar had old items on it, and I struggled to fund edible items. Credit where due; my wife got Fried Chicken Strips w Beans, and they were both fresh & good. Both of our desserts were lacking. My Lemon Tart was tiny & bland, and my wife didn't eat much of her S'Mores - even though dessert is normally her favorite part of any meal.

Semantics or lies? Let's begin with the "stir fry." The "stir fry" is described as having "seasonal vegetables," but it was not stirred, nor fried. It was pre-cooked wild rice with a frozen vegetable blend, heated loosely in a skillet. The "seasonal vegetables" were the kind you buy at Wal-Mart with the giant soggy carrot rounds and broccoli and whatnot. "Seasonal" translates to "current" for most folks, so when we were presented with off brand Uncle Bens and Wally's frozen veggies, we felt duped. I guess the vegetables were grown in A season, and then packed, frozen and freezer burnt in A season. But not necessarily THIS season. To add insult, we ordered the "stir fry" sans meat, and it was still $11.00. Totally understand food inflation, but at least pitch us some extra carrot sponges. We appreciated the option to have something that was gluten free and vegan, but lordy, just call it what it is. Like "Wild rice bowl with vegetables." For other orders, the Caesar salad was tiny and the dressing was like a balsamic version of Caesar. Not awful, but not really great either. At least the tiny salmon filet was reported to be good. Somebody else in our party ordered a sandwich. It was okay. Another person ordered the veggie burger, which, interestingly, was probably the best entree at our table and the most reasonably priced. And finally there was an order of fried jalapeños. It was good, priced well, and the only thing served in a skillet at a place called "The Skillet." We'll skip it next time.

The Skillet was right beside the Folk Center, so we walked over to enjoy some home style cooking. The atmosphere was wonderful. Almost every seat had a view of wildlife out the big picture windows. The service was friendly and fast. The food was delicious. It's just a touch on the slightly more expensive side, but worth it for us.
