No Mo' CashHeads up! In order to provide the safest work environment possible for the team we will no longer accept cash. We gladly take Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and other forms of touchless payment. 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.

    We literally had the BEST experience dining here. Our waitress was new to the restaurant and to the PNW; I think it was her 5th day working there. She is originally from Florida. She gave us the BEST service. She was super personable and relatable. She consistently checked in on our, filled our water and other drinks. She was super eager to please and gave me the best waitress service I’ve ever had. I can’t remember her name but she speaks Spanish which was helpful because we had a native Spanish speaker at the table. She deserves to be recognized for her excellent service. The whole restaurant just worked in sync with eachother and the food was absolutely amazing not to mention the ambiance and views. We will be back!

    Great food, nice staff, only two small complaints would be that we were seated in a noisy area when other spots were available & I’d also say that the portion size for the avocado smoked salmon toast was a little smaller than what I’d expect for the price.

    Great time all around. It’s worth visiting for the cassoulet. Steak frites and roasted chicken were also excellent. Entree prices are high - $60 for steak frites is about $15 more than our last visit. It doesn’t take away from it being very good, but do expect to spend a bit.
