The building is old and so is the decor. Their polish buffet is the best in town. They do great fried chicken and sausage. The catering is also great. They set it all up and take it down for you. You can also pick up large orders for tailgating and other parties.

Well...I am 1/4 Polish and my Great Grandparents immigrated here from Poland. Let's just say that they would roll in their graves (to use an old cliche). I live about an hour from a "good" Polish buffet in Lynwood, IL called the Warsaw Inn. When I drove by The Skillet, and saw "LEGENDARY POLISH BUFFET" I had to try it! Basically, everything to eat was terrible. The waitstaff, and who I believe is the owner, were all very nice and the people around me were ranting about how great everything was! I couldn't find it in my heart to complain. It was your average, family owned buffet with cheap food and about as Polish as KFC is. Pierogis were deep fried?? They also had some type of cream sauce for them, which was a lot like Alfredo sauce... no idea here... Honestly, best thing there was BBQ rib tips...Also not even a little Polish. Haha. Golabki (stuffed cabbage) was not terrible, but not good..if that makes sense. "Potato pancakes" were hash browns smashed together... Everything was canned/frozen except the fried chicken which also was flavorless. It was two ingredients. Chicken and Flour. That's it. No seasonings. Just sad really. Food was either cold or dried up to a crisp... Yet there was a line to get in here. Only reason I left 2 stars instead of 1 was because they were all so nice.

We catered some food this past weekend and was great! Chicken stole the show however pieces were really small- but good! Great Value!

I grew up going to the skillet. They have awesome polish food especially their chicken and sausages! Also their butter noodles are delicious. The one bizzare thing I always noticed about the place is when I would go to their buffet everyone at the buffet was 60 years old and older. Where's all of the younger people at???? Do younger people besides my self not appreciate good polish food? Weird! Another thing that I dnt understand is....... it seems like over the years they've changed their hours. It's to the point where they are closed more than their open. I drive past the skillet and they are ALWAYS closed!!! What the hell!!? Really. Over all they have really good food, but they need to extend their business hours.

St. Hedwig's Hall has long ago retired the trophy for best Polish wedding spread. The Skillet, however, is easily the best commercial place that features this food. I was most happy to have substantial kielbasa with relatively thick noodles. Nobody else offers these in my experience. The mashed potatoes are most definitely home made and are creamy and flavorful. I was fortunate to be there just as the latkes (potato pancakes) came out from the kitchen. They weren't the best I've tasted but they were darn good. They also offered decent-sized fried butterfly shrimp tonight. Perfectly cooked. I didn't sample any of the chicken offerings, but they looked excellent and smelled great. The homemade pumpkin pie was a perfect dessert. The place has been family owned and operated forever. Their non-family staff typically stays with them for years and years. To me, that is a major plus. All were friendly and eager to help/please. There are reasons they have a tremendously loyal clientele. They traditionally are open for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Call for a reservation if you plan to eat here then. Regular buffet, with beverage, tax and tip, will run about $15 per person. They almost always offer weekly coupon deals for two in the Tribune.

They catered lunch at my job. Instant mashed potatoes, canned green beans, packaged gravy, noodles had no flavor. Just a pile of mush. The sausage and the chicken was all flavor free. I've never been to the restaurant and I never will. Everything from a can!! HORRIBLE FOOD!!!

If you've ever ventured to the restroom, and got a glimpse of the kitchen, you'll know. G-r-o-s-s. What has been seen cannot be unseen. Absolutely disgusting.

Good luck if you're a vegetarian. Maybe you can stick out your tongue and sprinkle a little salt on it, because that's about the only non-meat thing you'll eat here. I like how old school and falling apart it seems. I like how my dear friend Esther spends each Lent obsessing over which Friday fish fries she'll attend. For some reason, I associate her obsession with the Skillet, maybe because she told me about it here. Or maybe it's because they advertised a Lenten Friday fish fry here when we lived in South Bend. Anyway, I've been pretty disappointed the three times I've come, and that's impressive because usually once I'm disappointed by a place, it won't catch me off guard again. But it did--twice! Oh, and get a proper sign. And do some local advertising. And don't seem like you're closed all the time.

This weekend the Skillet expanded their buffet to include other European dishes. It was REAL Hungarian goulash (not the macaroni, the soup kind), REAL homemade Swedish meatballs that were seasoned wonderfully, and most of all potato pancakes that were hand made and tasted like they were made by my very own Babcia! The German potato salad was excellent, as were the perogi. The Shepherd's pie was yummy, as was the chicken Paprikash. We've been fans of the Polish Buffet, but these additions made this a special treat. Their food is homemade, not from boxes/large cans. I have not found another food place in the area (and we eat out daily) that makes HOMEMADE PIES... yes, crusts AND filling. NOT from a mix filling!!! This place is a bargain for real comfort food.

Just fine if you'd like to experience the generic "polish" dinner, but haven't been invited to a wedding or banquet. Nothing at this place really stands out. The selection is limited, low quality, and prepared in institutional quantities. Alarmingly, there are usually not very many people dining here, so one must wonder how long certain items have been in the tepid steamers. The golabki (stuffed cabbages) are particularly disappointing. Wet chicken is average, sweet and sour cabbage isn't the best I've eaten, the potatoes come from a box (as they should), the noodles aren't too bad, and the gravy is just fine. This place gets 3 stars because it's local, old-school, and filling.

Solid polish dinners. Cheap weekend breakfast buffet with standard offerings and an omelet and crepe station. They also do a bang-up job with catering. I know during Notre Dame football, their catering is quite popular.

Polish Buffet is outstanding! In the restaurant or from their catering division, nobody serves a better Polish Wedding Buffet. Good, friendly service and never a disappointment.

NOT for vegans, vegetarians or small appetites! We went here today and tried the Polish buffet/brunch buffet. Down-home, "sticks to your ribs" stuff. The "broasted" chicken is great and the mashed potatoes are some of the best I've ever had. And did I mention that homemade pie is included? Service is friendly and quick. It was a fun place to eat as many of our fellow customers were obviously "regulars" and there was a lot of banter between diners and waitstaff. Great little place, will definitely be back.

Great buffet from someone who hates buffets. Great variety polish food. Corned beef was amazing.

The skillet does polish dinner as well as anyone. So long as you know what you're in for it's great.

Skillet is a meat and potatoes restaurant best known for their Polish Wedding Buffet featuring fried as well as broasted chicken, polish sausage, buttered noodles, mashed potatoes, sweet/sour cabbage, stuffed cabbage, green beans, pierogis, soup, and rolls. All this for $8 to $10. Not really cholesterol friendly, but a tasty feast. It's all you can eat, by the way. Individual meals off the menu as also available at a likewise reasonable price. Service as in drink refills is so good it is almost extreme.
