Skillet Diner @ Post Alley

I had The Cluck Chub. UNREAL SOOO GOOD. Chicken was fried perfectly. Bacon jam was amazing with the jalapeño aioli and the combo of cheese was definitely awesome. Got the Mac & cheese side also really good. Our waitress Jackie was great ! We basically let her order for us and she did not disappoint. Thanks so much for the GREAT food. We’ll definitely be back

A Refreshing Breakfast Stop in a Great Location We had a great experience at Skillet Diner @ Post Alley. Our server, Jackie R., was absolutely wonderful — friendly, attentive, and eager to explain the menu with a smile. The food was a refreshingly unique spin on classic breakfast sandwiches — familiar yet creative and flavorful. The diner itself was spotless, with plenty of comfortable seating and a stylish, vintage yet modern vibe. Its location in Harbor Steps Staircase Plaza is both beautiful and convenient, making it a great stop whether you're starting your day or just exploring downtown Seattle. Highly recommended!

The kindest staff around! Have come here a few times and am always treated with smiling faces from the waitstaff and kitchen staff. Plus, the foods delicious! The french toast is A++ 👌 Good music, good food, good service. You can’t go wrong!

Great breakfast spot in Seattle. Clean, so inviting, everyone welcomed with charm and kindness. Food was good. I had the skillet with fried chicken. The jalapeño Aioli was a nice touch. Orlando was our server and he was a great host. I highly recommend. Oh and I enjoyed the Drunken Monkey coffee cocktail and it was delish! Skillet Diner was everything I needed to get this day started. Cheers!

Great find, we were going to just hit up the breakfast at our hotel and were told to just head towards Pikes and we’d find something, we did. Had mimosas and a bloody marry, delicious. Couple of skillets with different toppings, chicken and waffles and the your way, it was all amazing. Recommend!

Great breakfast. Decided to try something new and I wasn’t disappointed. Orange juice was fresh squeezed and tasty.

I was greeted with kindness from the moment I stepped in. I was hesitant as to which dish to get and my waiter - Juan - helped me sort it out. I ended up getting the shrimp & grits which did not disappoint. The sauce is SO TASTY, I would 100% have it again. I also got a chai latte which was just the perfect level of sweet for my taste. Great spot! Staff is very attentive and welcoming.

Very clean! Our server is very kind and helped me navigate the food due to my gluten allergy! I forgot he name but she's super cool. My food is delicious breakfast sandwich with GF bread. My husband had breakfast burrito!

Decent American food with a price that matches the quality & location. All staff seemed happy to help & assist, while our waitress was busy.

Fantastic location, awesome food, great price. Made a new memory here with my daughter before dropping her off at the airport, and Skillet didn't disappoint. She ordered the French Toast with side of crispy bacon. Perfection! The homemade syrup was a hit as well. I ordered the Mix Skillet with potatoes and chorizo with a sunny side egg on top. Loved it! My daughter shared her last slice of bacon and it was spot on crispy! Highly recommend Skillet. Our server, Jackie, knows hospitality and gave first class service.

A really good ass brunch!! I loved my dish the breakfast skillet; fried chicken, and jalapeño aioli with a side of the chorizo gravy. It was really good to me, my friend got the whiskey shrimp and grits which was really good too! The drink was nice, enjoyed the lavender buzz a lot. A drink that would pair well at a bbq/backyard cookout. Service was good too and intentional, our server was kind and fast with us. Easy splitting the bill and made sure we were taken care of. Loved, loved the interior design of the restaurant. It felt like an old 50s kitchen/diner. And I had been wearing my varsity jacket so I was already matching the feel of the place lol. I'd for sure recommend eating here for brunch or lunch.

Maybe I ordered the wrong thing but for $20 I just expected more? Better presentation? More fries? I don't know. The biscuit of the chicken biscuit was good but overall the sandwich was really spicy, almost more like a Nashville hot rather than hot honey. Service was also super rushed. Too rushed to take our order, then never checked on us and we had to flag down a different server to pay the bill. The bathroom was also out of toilet paper.

We came for lunch and had a fantastic time! Jill our server was incredible! She was so welcoming, funny, friendly, and makes a delicious espresso "brew-tini" martini. We tried the blackened salmon sammy and the kale ceaser salad with their 24 hour brined fried chicken. This is our new spot every time we're in town now. Thanks Jill! You are awesome !!

The location and walkability was amazing. From being greeted at the door in a timely manner, to the welcoming atmosphere to begin with was inviting. Now for the food. It was soooo gooood. Would definitely return to try some more of the menu items. We ordered the breakfast burrito and the Breakfast Sammy!

Our server was very attentive and courteous! Never ran out of something to drink and the coffee was delicious! We came here by recommendation of the front desk from Hotel 1000. So good! Recommend!

Almost 4 stars. We were seated right away, interior is nice like a retro diner. The kids breakfast was enormous. I believe it was called the "Lil Rob". It came with a large size apple juice that turned out to be quality cider. The host was very charming however our waitress was drear and dispirited to our family but she was smiling, joking and warm when speaking behind the counter to the co-workers. My spouse and I ordered "The Benny" which we liked the toasted croissant as a base but each of our eggs was overcooked. Like all the way cooked, no jam or oozy yolk at all. Bacon was half crispy and half wobbly. All in all an okay breakfast but a bit forgettable besides the charm of being located in a historic location.

We visited with a group of 4 on a busy weekend. It seemed we missed most of the busy time, but the staff seemed still occupied as our service was on the slower side. I ordered the Kale Caesar and it was really really filling, good flavor in the caesar dressing and I would recommend. The salmon wasn't my favorite but was good protein. I opted for the Paloma to imbibe, and it was delicious. Nice tart flavor and it packed a good punch. Friends ordered the Hot Tennessee Chicken sandwich, and it indeed lived up to it's name...emphasis on the HOT. We enjoyed our meal, it was good (vs great). It's worth giving it a try!

First place we visited on our trip in Seattle.they also have multiple locations. Customer service was great, food was delicious.. the restaurant is super cute and ready. The star.... The star is the homemade maple syrup!!!!! Just thinking about it now makes my mouth drool. There was a server who also gave us great recommendations to get some crab. I would absolutely come back here on my next visit!!

The hot honey chicken Sammy was indeed hot, evident spice that is more than a slight kick but not uncomfortably spicy. Found it a little too sweet for my liking. The chicken had a crispy batter. The bottom biscuit ended up soaking up all the oil and sauce. The biscuit overall was okay, had the buttery slight crunch exterior texture without butter flavor, kind of crumbly. Greens was doused in a really sweet and sour dressing. Enjoyed the earthiness brought from the kale in the chicken Sammy, and the fluffy brioche bun. For both sandwiches the chicken was pretty dry and some parts were tough/hard to chew. Which was unfortunate considering chicken was the main part of both our dishes. The fries had a crisp exterior and pillowy soft interior, little over salted but better oversalted than under salted! Service was fast, straight to the point. No small talks or anything just order and check ins.

Great location, vibes and view. Ordered the fried chicken breakfast burrito and the chicken portions were generous. Bottomless drip coffee completed the meal. Unfortunately our server, Juan, didn't seem very interested in being there. We didn't think our requests were out of the ordinary (splitting checks, creamer refill, etc.) yet his demeanor came off as annoyed with minimal responsiveness. What a shame since the host who sat us seemed more welcoming than our actual server.

Food was very mediocre, not terrible but not good either. Only thing my group of 5 had that we enjoyed were the French donuts (not traditional beignets, but decent). Service was good and quick and ambiance was good, but food is the most important part and Skillet missed the mark.

Went here for breakfast and the food and atmosphere was great. Staff was super friendly. Highly recommend!

I love the aesthetics. The clean diner feels. The sign out said reopening so I think they may have recently renovated The server was really nice and I over heard her talking to her regulars she takes good care of them. I was sad they were out of tators The garlic fries coffee with real garlic!!!! The brunch 75 is absolutely delicious if you like grapefruit.

This is a great breakfast option if you are staying downtown Seattle. Everything had great flavor, especially the Chilaquiles. Of course we were in Seattle so the coffee was pretty good as well. Fresh, Clean, lots of seating, food and service was TOP level!

Fresh flavors and good ambiance. I had the breakfast burrito and could only eat half. The people I were with liked the potatoes and the maple flavor in the French toast. Coffee was strong and flowing!

The service and ambiance was pretty okay. Unfortunately the food was lacking, especially for the price. Nice location, but there are better breakfast places in the same area.

We stopped by here on our way to the airport. Neither of us were super hungry, so we thought we'd share a breakfast. We got the 'Your Way' and it was HUGE! I don't think we'd need to order separately anyways, lol. Food was tasty, our waitress was very friendly. I'd recommend!

It was a great little place for us to enjoy as a group from out of town. Inclusive atmosphere for all and friendly staff.

This place is fantastic. Came in here on a whim on our way to the market while on vacation and it was perfect. My daughter had the French toast and I had the breakfast burrito and it hit the spot. Service was very attentive, the place was clean and bright, and the food was great. A+ would eat again!

Great food. Great service. See Reilly at the bar. Cool guy. Great attitude and great service. Another lovely young lady was working today. I'm sorry I do not remember her name, but she had a beautiful smile and was so very friendly with me. She seemed to be bar backing and working her tail off. I highly recommend this restaurant on all levels. TVs are available for sports. Great beers on tap and craft drinks. Great location. Clean atmosphere. Comfortable boots seating at the bar. And very busy with Happy.

Definitely my favorite location out of all the Skillets there are, well this is only the second diner location. It is just so big and spacious and the interior is so cute. Skillet is always super consistent with the quality of food and service so when I visited it did not disappoint. We tried some things we haven't had before and man, that kale caesar is probably my favorite caesar salad I have EVER had wow. And the jam burger so juicy and the softest bun. The cluck chub is also so good and the mixture f salty and sweet and the crunch, so delish The mac and cheese is eh, nothing special but still good Definitely visit them when the reopen!!

Stumbled across Skillet Diner and man I'm glad I did. The staff was nice and helped out with every question our party had. I had a breakfast sandwich with sausage, egg cooked to your choice, with cheese on a croissant. Also a side of their potatoes. Which came with fried onions on top. Kinda threw me off but they went well with the sandwich. The sandwich was super delicious, the sausage was bigger than the croissant. It was delicious definitely recommend skillet Diner

The food was so yummy here. We had seven people and the food came out in fifteen to twenty minutes. This place is family friendly and has a coloring paper for the kids. It was not crowded if you go earlier and the place is cozy. Wait staff was good

We came here for breakfast on our way to the Steelers vs. Seahawks game. It was a short walk from our downtown hotel & being able to put our name on the waitlist through their website before getting there really cut down our wait time. I had the avocado breakfast burrito plus bacon and it was really good. The "morning taters" were fine but pretty plain. My partner got the breakfast sammy and said there was way too much of the jalapeño aioli on it. The mimosa pitcher was a good deal, we actually struggled to finish it though with how much orange juice they put in it. They were out of cold brew so the server offered iced coffee as a replacement. It was definitely just hot coffee poured over ice so it came out extremely watered down. They were very busy and seemed a little understaffed, so service was fine but not stellar. Our food did come out pretty fast which was a plus. Overall, I'd come back if we're ever in Seattle again.

Disappointing. Went during a quiet time with only two tables of guests. Despite the rest of the place being empty I was told it would be 10-15 minutes wait for a table. Seeing two barmen behind the bar I asked could I get a drink whilst waiting. Again, refusal to even serve a drink. I walked away frustrated and found much better service across the stairs.

We had a decent time at Skillet. They were admittedly under staffed so we waited a little less than 20 minutes for our table. The restaurant was very cold. I know the weather was supposed to be warm and sunny, but we didn't like the air conditioning blowing directly on us and our food. There were a lot of menu items that looked very appetizing, and we ended up ordering a mix of food. Pancakes and a side of bacon: came with 4 large pancakes that were pretty dry but tasty. Chorizo biscuits and gravy: pretty yummy! A very salty dish. There was too much gravy for the 2 small biscuits in the order so there was a lot of gravy wasted. This was pretty pricey for the amount that was wasted. Fried donuts: DO NOT ORDER THIS. They were completely raw in the middle and inedible. We had to ask for them to be removed from our bill. And the fruit sauce they served on the side was frozen in the middle. Overall, we would probably try this place again but would ask to sit outside and would order different food.

I live in the building this Skillet is in. I have been going there since it opened. This morning I went down for breakfast. I asked to sit at the counter and the hostess said fine. I sat down at 8:30 and one of the regular chefs said hi. I sat there until 8:45, never being acknowledged by the many servers that walked by, so I left and went back upstairs to my apartment. Jackie would never have let this happen during the week. Not sure why it happened today. I guess I will have to find another place to eat breakfast. Sad but I hate having to make my presence known when I was passed over by at least 5 servers. Even the chef that said hi kept looking at everyone as I believe she realized I was being ignored.

Loved this place. The Grits were THE MOST delicious I have ever tasted, and in Seattle no less! Friendly service, great coffee (ahem...it's Seattle).

Ate breakfast here. Food and home made extras were very tasty. Service was top notch. Rachel the manager was very friendly and her recommendations were delicious.

Good food, great service, large portions and a lot of cheese. Me and my boyfriend came here looking for a getaway from the bustling crowds of Seattle, it was quiet, peaceful, and had only 3 other people there on a busy weekend. The food was great but insanely cheesy so only get these items if you looove cheese, our server was super friendly and kept checking on us and refilling drinks throughout our stay. I also got an iced chai tea, it was one of the best chai teas I've ever had so if this review didnt convince you to stop by, let the chai tea be your reason. Thanks for a good meal Skillet!

Food was great, service was even better. They're cash free so make sure you have a card on you (or tap to pay)

Stopped back but to check this place out again. Definitely a huge change since the last visit. Greeted promptly upon arrival and was able to sit quickly. Opted in for the counter again and they added the rail for your feet which made the chairs comfortable to sit in. The service was spot on throughout the meal. The place was busy and there was lively chatter in this chic decorated restaurant. For the food, opted in for the Chilaquiles and the Honey Hot Chicken Sandwich which added an egg to and had grits as a side. The Chilaquiles were very flavorful and filling. However the sauce made the chips soggy quickly but overall it was still good. The chicken sandwich was fantastic and had a great flavor. The chicken was crispy and adding an egg really made it a great sandwich. For the drinks, they were perfectly crafted. The Cardi Bee was my favorite as it had champagne and the Aperol spritz was light and refreshing. Both paired well with breakfast/brunch. Overall it was a great experience and looking forward to trying more dishes and drinks here soon!

This place is clean and there's plenty of seating. Our server, Richard was so sweet! Great menu options. I had the Chilaquiles; it was good, not great. My husband had breakfast sammy. He gave it 4/5 stars.

We came in for lunch and had an alright experience. The service was completely fine but the food wasn't my favorite. My girlfriend and I shared the Bacon Jam burger and the chicken tenders off the happy hour menu. For the price I would say it was worth it other than the $8 draft, again just not the best. Also the chicken tenders were kinda weird, not what I would call chicken tenders.

Offffffff the hooooookkkkkkkk must gooooo love it. It will knock the socks off. If you're hungry and you need a good place to go this is a must and it's right by the water and pikes place walking distance with everything downtown Seattle.

Food was too salty to enjoy for my taste. We got the jam burger (85), garlic fries (60), and the breakfast skillet with fried chicken and chorizo gravy (30). The chicken felt recycled and I couldn't find the gravy- I think it turned into oil (see pic). Inside is nice and bright but feels like a cross between a 1950s diner and a 1950s hospital.

After an early morning exploring at the Aquarium we walked over to have breakfast at the newest Skillet Diner location. We were greeted and seated promptly. Our server was really kind and yielded great suggestions for our particular toddlers. Each item we ordered was really good, and portioned perfectly. The overall atmosphere is very open, it's a great escape from the crowds all of the downtown attractions yield. We would definitely return, and recommend!

Like a true tourist, down I go to Pike Place Market. But, like a true snowflake I want to eat somewhere that seems homey. We tripped over Skillet. The place looks clean and inviting. It wipes away any gloom that Seattle has attracted. The server was extremely friendly. I ordered French toast (made out of brioche slices). They add a lemon zest butter to the dish. Oh boy! Heaven in the PNW. My best half had "The Benny" with morning taters. She happy. Me happy when she happy. We happy. You try.

We got there before the breakfast rush so the wait wasn't long. The poutine & fried chicken were good and good portions.

Hearty breakfast in the downtown area near the bay in an area called Post Alley. Very generous servings, lots of options, and very clean atmosphere. Wait staff very friendly and helpful. Would recommend! We're out of towners and appreciate spots like this for meals along the way of sightseeing.

First time ever here and the service was incredible and quick! The food came out perfectly cooked. I'm far from home but the hot honey chicken sandwich made it feel like a slice of home.

Food was AMAZING! The Cobb salad might be the best restaurant salad I've had in my life--there were plenty of toppings and it was all super fresh. My sister loved the mac and cheese (and she's serious about her mac and cheese). First time trying Poutine and it was really good! Visited in the afternoon on a Sunday and there was hardly anyone there, which was surprising. They've got outdoor and indoor seating. We sat in an area that was indoor but had open air and it was lovely with a great view. Service was good. Food came out hot, appeared that it was cooked to order. Absolutely loved our experience here.

Delicious breakfast skillet - jalapeno aioli and pico with chicken, potatoes crisp and tasty, sauteed veggies - incredible! Service was welcoming and friendly. Thanks!

Menu has great variety. Difficult to chose between the delicious breakfast options The service is a standout. The cafe is spacious and full of light but feels cozy given the friendly staff who immediately made us feel like family. Jackie was especially great. Her description of the food made our mouths water, and she tended to our every need like a favorite Aunty.

We ordered the burrito and the your way breakfast!! It was amazing! Service was great and fast! Super friendly, as this was our first time here wasn't sure what to order- our server did a great job at helping us! Honestly so good and I love that it had something for everyone! I love the feel inside the restaurant as well!

The food is absolutely delicious, with bold flavors and comforting dishes that hit the spot. I wish the fried chicken was fried was more crispy but in general very good, , paired beautifully with rich gravy that ties everything together. The chorizo adds a smoky, savory kick that elevates the meal to the next level. Every bite was a treat, and the portion sizes are generous too.

DISGUSTING. cold congealed eggs for the table. my poached eggs came in a separate cup that had (cold) water in it. expensive. but what really frosts my cookies is that on each menu at the bottom, in large letters, they describe how they'll give you a discount if you show your server that you wrote a FIVE STAR review on YELP or INSTA while you are there. unethical is the nicest word I can come up with. AVOID.
