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.

Overall, really good experience. Our waitress was funny and engaging. I forget her name but we talked about New Jersey. 5 stars for her all the way. The food was really good but I can't give it a five just because of the waffle. It tasted like it had been sitting around and not hot out of the waffle iron. The eggs (scramble) was really good but the waffle was just missing the mark. I would definitely go back though and try them again.

Great atmosphere! Food was good. A bit disappointed that I got slices of avocado vs mashed avocado on my avocado toast. Portions were extremely generous. Service was excellent. Only drawback is if you drive it’s difficult to find street parking nearby.

Always a great experience. Had brunch before a Sunday Mariners game. Seated us right away with no wait with our reservation. As always excellent food and mimosas.

Best brunch in Seattle! The bacon jam in some of the dishes is incredible, but you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. I recommend Skillet to anyone!
