ICONIC
BUT
DISAPPOINTING
You
walk
into
the
Silver
Skillet
and
it’s
like
stepping
back
in
time
50
years
to
the
dinners
of
the
60’s
and
70’s.
The
décor
is
amazing,
with
walls
filled
with
symbols
of
the
day,
including
a
side-by-side
picture
of
the
restaurant
with
the
Atlanta
skyline
today
and
back
then.
And
the
service
on
a
Saturday
morning
was
delightful.
Of
course,
there
was
a
wait
as
we
sat
on
the
shaded
bench
outside
the
restaurant,
but
the
greeter
was
cheerful
and
efficient
and
the
wait
staff
upbeat
and
friendly.
We
so
wanted
to
love
this
place!
Unfortunately,
our
meals
were
well
below
expectation.
Our
meal
included
two
Super
Skillets
(onion,
ham,
green
peppers,
cheese,
tomato)
–
one
with
mushrooms
added
–
along
with
waffles,
pancakes,
grits
and
a
side
of
bacon.
The
pancakes
were
indeed
delicious,
and
the
bacon
was
crispy
as
requested.
But
the
grits
were
just
okay,
the
waffles
were
tasteless,
and
the
omelets
were
stuff
with
a
ground
ham
that
made
the
dish
unenjoyable.
We
walked
away
surprised
at
how
disappointed
we
were
with
the
meal.
As
an
aside,
if
you
are
a
clean
freak,
the
Silver
Skillet
is
probably
not
the
best
place
for
you.
The
walls
were
dingy,
the
fabric
on
the
booths
needed
a
real
scrubbing,
the
silver
was
far
from
sparkly…just
an
overall
feeling
of
“not
fully
clean.”
