Skillet Restaurant

I'm a biscuits and gravy fiend, and this place helps me get my fix. Any time I get the hankering for breakfast while I'm working in Baxter/Brainerd, The Skillet is at the top of my list. It's family run and the waitresses are always very friendly. Typical diner is on the menu but is done well. There is limited seating and sometimes can be very crowded, but service is quick. Plenty of parking can be found behind the building.

Excellent food, generous portions, excellent friendly service!!

It does take a while for your meal to come, but we expect that, and it's always worth the wait. Exceptionally friendly service. This is as down home as it gets. Highly recommend the breakfast fare. Appreciate that they have so many menu choices for smaller appetites! Their omelets are GREAT.

Great breakfast. Atmosphere is not fancy by any means, but if you are looking for the small town, breakfast joint feel, this is your place to go. Affordable, good tasting food with staff that do an awesome job at service.

Small, quaint, unassuming breakfast cafe that happens to have some of the best breakfast food in the area. The skillets are HUGE, big enough to feed the hungriest. The diner is small and it does take a bit for your food to come out when they are fully seated. But, the wait is worth it! Prices are fair.

Absolutely loved my visit here! Brought the family here for breakfast and gosh was it all delicious. The strawberry and cream cheese french toast is a must try!!!! Highly recommend giving this place a try! The staff is super friendly!!!

You CAN NOT GO WRONG eating here! The all day breakfast was phenomenal my husband and I were in heaven we both

EVER❤💖 Our server Megan was AMAZING and totally friendly we were treated so kindly we will definitely be back❣
Thank you The Skillet

Very tasty! I had the Biscuits n Gravy because I heard it was good. And it was! It was delicious!

You also pick your side potatoes, there are three choices: Hashbrowns, Red potatoes or Tots.

I was recommended the Red potatoes by our wonderful server, Megan. They were very tasty! I recommend them now too.

This place is a neat hidden little gem.

Great service and food received here today. I tried the Wildrice Omelette and it was delicious. This is a family owned business and several family member were working this Saturday morning. We will definitely be back next time we are in town.

The Skillet has made an amazing comeback since the early peak of covid. Breakfast is great and the service is very good. They only lack in seating capacity.

Was a great little place. Limited seating so prepare for a wait on busy days. Food was good and reasonably priced.

Great place to get some breakfast. Food is always good and the service is next level. Fast, friendly, and served with a smile. If you haven't tried it yet, you should.

We have eaten here a few times and are very pleased with the food, service and the family atmosphere. I highly recommend this place to eat at if you are in the Brainerd area.

Talk about good food!! This is the place! Waitress was friendly, good service!! I recommend this place!! They were full!! We grabbed the only table left!! We can't wait to go back!!

We went for breakfast during a super busy day (BIR Nationals weekend) and had to wait 20 minutes to be seated. It was well worth it. The food was delicious! The wait staff were friendly and engaging. I got the corned beef omelet with hash browns and strawberry cream cheese French toast. My Daughter also got the Smore's French toast.

Very good food for a very fair price. Great service and family owned place.

The Skillet is your classic, early morning breakfast cafe with the BEST Biscuits and Gravy for miles around!

Great small town cafe vibe. It is locally owned by a former server. She really puts the focus on customer service and delicious food. Not a lot of seating and the place can get quite busy. Worth waiting for a bit though.

Very good food, excellent service, with a great atmosphere.

Portions were generous, food tasted wonderful, the service was excellent and prices were fair! This will be our new go to for breakfast 😋
