"Head to Little Skillet for a hearty, if not exactly healthy, dose of Southern comfort food. Originally just an alleyway take-out window, Little Skillet now slings neo-soul food within the neighboring bar, Victory Hall & Parlor. Along with it’s famed fried chicken and Belgian waffles, the menu also includes catfish po’boys, seafood gumbo, biscuits and gravy, and, of course, sides of collard greens, skillet mac and cheese, and cheddar grits." - Airbnb
"The fried chicken at this SoMa bar and restaurant is a blank canvas. Each well-fried piece on its own could use some more seasoning, but it takes well to a generous amount of syrup (to go along with your waffles) or a heavy glug of hot sauce that’s stationed on every table. Our favorite thing to do is to get a crew together on a game day, order an eight-piece, and joust for the drumsticks." - julia chen 1, patrick wong
"The soul food staples from Little Skillet are a solid option if you want something to fill you up for the next dozen or so hours of a transatlantic flight. They do everything from housemade cornbread and Cobb salads to Southern fried chicken with fries and coleslaw. It’s not the best fried chicken you’ll ever have, but it beats a sad plastic-wrapped sandwich any day." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez
"Walking Time To The Chase Center: 18 minutes The big reason we keep coming back to Little Skillet is their perfectly golden-brown chicken and waffles. But the spacious restaurant that's just three blocks from Oracle Park has a ton of other soul food dishes to get to know, too, like a po’boy spilling over with juicy pulled pork, shrimp and grits, and a fried chicken combo called The Works, which comes with a mini jalapeño corn muffin and a side of your choice. There's also a huge bar and TVs to watch the pregame show before you head out." - lani conway, julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
