What Kelsi O'Hara doesn't like about Iron Skillet Restaurant:
We have been coming here for about 15 years. Always loved the food and service. We hadn't been there for awhile but wow, what a change. They have changed the salad dressing... so bitter and the gravy was terrible. The lady waitress that has been there for several years had the dirtiest apron dress on!! Green beans, corn and chicken were still great. So disappointed to see it go downhill. View all feedback. What A L likes about Iron Skillet Restaurant:
Celebrated my mom's birthday at The Iron Skillet this month. The food and atmosphere were excellent. They even have a secret vegetarian entrée! The staff were wonderful and attentive. The portions are large so be prepared to eat alot or have lots of tasty leftovers! View all feedback.

Had about 20-25 people seated in a room way too small… for my dad’s 70th birthday. Food is always excellent.

My second time here. They make you feel like royalty here. Food was delicious. It's old school but good school.

The Iron Skillet is a long-standing favorite for many, offering traditional style dining with a cozy atmosphere. Guests rave about the variety of appetizers, dinners, and desserts included in the experience, with standout dishes like apple sauce, onion soup, and homemade rolls. The Sunday brunch here is described as elegantly delicious, with pickled beets, fried chicken, and other favorites impressing diners. The restaurant is also praised for its accommodating service, especially for large groups. Regulars appreciate the excellent food, quaint atmosphere, and top-notch service, making it the perfect spot for a family-style meal. Overall, The Iron Skillet is highly recommended for its superb fried chicken, family-style sides, and classic American comfort food.
