Really enjoyed this place! The prices are great compared to most breakfast spots, and the food tasted fresh. My husband's steak and potatoes were delicious, and you could tell the ingredients were high quality. I ordered the crab meat, and while the portion was smaller than I expected, crab is expensive, so I understand. I also got a chai tea latte, which I wouldn't order again since it was pricey and served in a paper cup instead of a mug. Our first server wasn't the friendliest, but the male server who took over was very kind and made the rest of our experience enjoyable. They automatically add gratuity, but it's a fair amount. Overall, we had a great breakfast and would definitely come back!

I had such a great experience at Skil‑Lit Café. Their omelet was honestly the highlight of my morning, flavorful, tasty, and clearly made by good chefs and cooks who know what they’re doing. Every bite felt intentional, well‑seasoned, and comforting in that classic brunch way. The portion is perfect for me, which I absolutely loved. It fit my hungry tummy perfectly, to the point where I completely forgot I was supposed to be on a diet that day. This is the kind of brunch that makes you feel happy and satisfied, not guilty. The place itself isn’t fancy, but it’s cozy, warm, and welcoming, the kind of spot where you can relax and enjoy your food without feeling rushed. I saw many people come for take out. Honestly, the service was a bit slow, but the staff were friendly and kind, so it didn’t bother me too much. You can tell they genuinely care about the customers even if the pace is a little laid‑back.

Fried fish and shrimp with the grits was delicious. Chicken and waffles were okay, thought it would be bone in chicken but it was tenders which were good but not as crispy as you think they would come. The waffles were good tho i’d try the red velvet ones next time. My daughter enjoyed the french fries.
