Country Skillet is a medium sized place that serves all day breakfast and lunch everyday except Wed (when it’s closed) and offers dinner on Thursday and Friday till 8 pm.  They do have daily specials and lots of baked goods.  The main room has a few tables but mostly has counter seating and the service area.  A second room had more tables and the corridor to the bathrooms.  New owners took over in 2023 and have worked to update the place, food and staff.  They did pretty well in my opinion.  Service was a bit slow but it was pretty crowded and only one server seemed to be taking orders, delivering food and cleaning tables – so with that in mind service was good.  She was very pleasant and efficient.   The walls have lots of signs with cute sayings and one TV was above the bar but it was muted.  The food was good enough that I look forward to going back and trying more options and maybe a baked item.  Let me know what you think if you get there.

Set-Up

Food

The Triple Decker Turkey BLT sandwich is made with turkey, bacon, lettuce, tomato and mayo on your choice of bread.  It comes with fries or soup and we chose fries.  The sandwich was packed with ingredients.  The turkey was in large pieces and tasty enough.  I would have put more mayo on but that’s a personal preference.  The bacon was tasty and stayed nicely crisp and the bread was toasted to a good crisp too.  The fries were dusted with a seasoned salt that was fun.  They were fairly crisp with tender insides in a narrow cut that was not coated.  Pickle slices were on the side and they were dill not bread and butter.

The Patty Melt is made with a 1/2 pound burger, grilled onions and American cheese on grilled marble rye bread.  It also comes with fries of soup for which I chose the former.  I requested that they try and keep the burger on the rare side and they did just that.  It was a drippy thick cut of good beef.  The rye was nicely toasted and the onions were good, but I would have liked more.  There was a bunch of cheese on both sides of the patty which was a tasty touch.  It was the better of the 2 sandwiches and one I’d get again.   Fries and pickle slices were the same as above.
