The Skillet,

300 Mounts Corner Dr, Freehold, NJ 07728, United States

"Tldr; massive portions for a low cost, with some fun elements, and chaotically crowded. Sunday brunch: - coffee flight: tasty and visually pleasing. They let us customize our picks beyond the menu sets. Smores latte was my favorite, French toast was my fianceé's. Only finished half and left with to-go cups, since that was so much caffeine. Tip: you can get any number decaf if you're worried it's too much caffeine. - juice flights: my favorite was the grapefruit ginger (tart balanced the sweet, ginger didn't overpower), followed by the green drink (forgot the name). - breakfast eggrolls: listed as an appetizer but it's a big meal unto itself. It's like a Perkins Scrambler inside of an egg roll. - skillets: I got a classic, fiancee got the ultimate skillet. For $12.95 and $18.95 respectively, these are each massive. We took a lot home as leftovers. Criticisms: -It was chaotic and crowded at the entrance with folks waiting. We waited 45 min by touring the upstairs Jewish museum in the meantime, which was great, but even when we got summoned back in, it was stressful to get through the crowd to get seated. - The entrance door was constantly getting opened given the crowd, and since it was a cold rainy day, we felt the cold chill sometimes. The staff was aware and would remind people to close the door. I think if they could install a double-door, that would help."

"Amazing service, very friendly staff, very accommodating as well as we had a large party! Definitely will visit again! Amazing food, Fast. Nick was the best server ever! he made our experience even better!"

"This was our first time at the Skillet and went before 10 am, we were seated immediately. However, we were seated in front of the doors that would be open to outdoor seating, and the only problem with that was the sun at that time. It was in your eyes, and due to this, the experience wasn't that comfortable. We weren't the only ones that experienced this either. They might want to consider a removal curtain just so customers are not uncomfortable with the sun blinding you during your meal. The menu had a lot of tasty options to choose from. We went with the Skillet Hot Coffee Flight, Salted Caramel Waffles, and Prosciutto Benedict. Everything was delicious and would go back."

"WOW!!! The Skillet blew me away! Came for a birthday brunch and left with a new favorite spot. Leslie was our server and she was outstanding! She recommended a seasonal coffee that was the best I’ve ever had! The portions for the price were large and overflowing! Leslie saw my mom give me a gift and asked if it was my birthday, before we left, she came out with a red velvet cheesecake and a candle! So sweet and attentive - even the other servers and staff were wishing me a happy birthday as we left. I couldn’t recommend this place more! Ask for Leslie and try a delicious latte!!"
