Reviews for Skillets Cafe & Grill in Hilton Head Island, SC

Service was ok, but the food made up for it. We started out with fried green tomatoes and calamari. The fried green tomatoes... have a pimento cheese spread on top which was delightful. They complimented each other very well. The calamari was extremelytender, and not rubbery at all. It came with a marinara sauce and buffalo ranch dip. The buffalo ranch dip was amazing andlight. For the main course, I had the cheese steak, and my wife had the fish and chips. The fish was beautifully fried andwasn't greasy. It was a lovely piece of cod. It came with a homemade coleslaw, which is the best I've ever had. The cheese steakwas wonderful. The bread was very soft and filling. The peppers, onions, and mushrooms were fresh, and not canned or frozen. Myfries were cold, but the rest of the meal more than made up for it. Slight oversight, no big deal. I give the overall experiencea 4.5/5. You will not be disappointed eating here. Read more

It was great food! My husband loved the jambalaya and my gluten free burger was great. We also loved the popcorn shrimp (also... gluten free). Even though there was a sign on the door that alerted us to the fact that they were short staffed, our orderarrived quickly and our server was kind. Read more

Excellent customer service especially the lady working the hostess stand this morning. When we got there, we were told that it... would be a 15 minute wait. So I have the hostess my cell number to text me when our table is ready. My family and I went to sitback in the car. In the meantime, my cellphone service was out for 20 minutes and I didn?t realize it. My husband called therestaurant to see if anyone tried to contact me. The hostess said yes that she tried calling me too. She said that we can stillbe seated once we walk back in. Which we were. Delicious food and fast service! Read more

I typically do not write reviews, but I felt I needed to share my experience and save other?s from over paying for Mediocre food... and service. We arrived about 9am on a weekday. It was pretty slow during this time. I ordered the California Benedict. It waspresented and plated beautifully, unfortunately it went downhill from there. The eggs had shells in them. Not just one butmultiple. The avocado was very hard, not ripe at all. And the tomato was past it?s prime. They were very mushy and had that oddtexture of when they are overly ripened and about to go bad. And the bowl of fruit it came with was fine tasting, but theblueberries were wrinkled and the strawberries were mushy. I asked my server for a new avocado since it was hard. He brought meback a few pieces of a small avocado. And it was not fully ripened either. But it was better than the first. When were were topay the bill I asked if I could talk to the manager about quality control in the kitchen. When I showed her my avocado, tomatoand shells she just looked at me like I had three heads and just apologized. And walked away. We waited there for a WHILE beforeour server came back and was confused why we were still there. He asked if his manager had taken care of us and we said no, shejust left. He came back with the bill and took off 10% for all of that . We were very disappointed with our experience and wenever return. Read more

Short staffed but you won't mind because the food is amazing! I had the crab cake Benedict it was the best crab cake I've ever... tasted! We spoke to the owners father who is 88 years old and was hustling back and forth seating customers bringing out coffeeand just a real gem. They have the best coffee too. Very worth the wait and experience. Oh very good bloody Mary's too???? Read more

We arrived for a really late breakfast (also known as lunch time). But thankfully they serve breakfast until 3pm. We were quoted... a 30 minute wait for a party of 4 which was very reasonable. The restaurant is large between the indoor space and outdoorwrap-around patio. But there were signs posted that they were short-staffed. They use a text-message service to alert you whenyour table is ready. Ours was ready in about 20 minutes which was a pleasant surprise. We chose a seat outside on thepatio. Service was a little on the slow side. But that could have been attributed to the staffing issues. But once the foodarrived, all was well. Everything was good, although the skillets were definitely the star. They do have a number of gluten-freeoptions. If you are staying at a Marriott property, they still offer a 10% discount if you show your room key. Read more

Nice cafe. We were seated right away. Service was great. We had the Monte Cristo and Avocado toast.Food was very good except... for the fries. They had been sitting for awhile and were soggy. Other than that we had a very nice lunch. Read more

I loved it. It's dog friendly and offers a dog menu! Went during off-season and during Covid protocols so it wasn't packed. We... chose to eat out on the patio- which had. Some nice scenery and we recieved our food promptly. It's located in Coligony HiltonHead Island- walkable from the beach. Food was tasty good and I left satisfied. The breakfast menu looks delicious- will have totry next time around. :) Read more
