The award-winning Skillet Diner opened in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle in 2011. We’re a neighborhood joint doing our best to make the place feel relaxed, service attentive and easy; the food approachable yet focused. We use fresh, locally sourced ingredients. The style of food is similar to what we’re known for on the airstream …the difference? we have so much more room! Items range from our fennel-crusted fried chicken and waffle to our burger with bacon jam, arugula, and bleu cheese, to our legendary kale Caesar salad.

Seating policy: We require your whole party be present to be sat.

Went to Capital Hill Skillet because our usual anniversary dinner place, Luna Park Cafe, is now closed for dinner. Didn't know they closed at 7, and got there are 6:30. Never felt rushed. Food was great, as always! Burgers and poutine. Then the very sweet waitress brought us a dessert on the house to help us celebrate. Skillet never disappoints!

This is one of my favorite restaurants for early-morning meetings. It is spacious with great booths. Great light. They open at 7am! Centrally located. I can usually find parking within a block & public transit is pretty easy. The food has something for everyone. But the best is the STAFF because they're always friendly and kind no matter how busy they are.

Food was decent, not the best nor the worse. The baby green side was horrible though, lots of dressing. Overall overprice for what you get - toral check was about $120 for two person breakfast.

food was extremely mid, ordered my eggs medium/hard (mentioned not runny) and they were sent out over easy. sent them back and ordered the scramble w/ bacon… eggs came undercooked and I just ate the breakfast potatoes. My brother found two mustache hairs in his meal but didn’t want to send his order back since I already had an issue with mine. With drinks included the breakfast came to $90 before tip. My brother requested a receipt and they didn’t bring one. We got out of there. Never again! This is what I get for cheating on Glo’s 🫠

Brunch here is always good! The bacon is some of the best in Seattle. Portions are large...so plan accordingly. It's lively the way any good diner should be.
