Iron Skillet Restaurant

We were there for breakfast mid-​morning on a Sunday. The waitress warned us that if we ordered off the menu it would take awhile. She said that we could have the buffet right away. We did opt to order off the menu. Little did we know our food would take a half hour! Credit to the waitress that she kept our coffee cups full. When the food arrived, it was room-​temperature. My wife stated that she would never eat there again. I can’t help but agree.

Thanks for Petro serving professional drivers all over USA but condition of silverware and dishes un acceptable!

Slow slow slow! If I could give this restaurant zero stars I would. We were seated promptly but the waitress failed to tell us about the economical breakfast buffet and once we ordered off of the menu we waited 30 minutes for two eggs over easy. If you’re in the area of this restaurant head across the street to the culvers you’ll get a better meal there. Don’t waste your time. Coffee was not refilled and in the morning that’s really important.
No managers were even visible. The entire restaurant is run by 18-​year-​old girls without a clue. Where is the manager?

Do I have to leave a star. This was awful. I eat at many many petro’s. This is the worst.
The service was awful. Ordered the steak and it was so tough it was a joke.
Took a shower and the whole store is just weird. Head to the pilot or TA.

I traveled to the local Iron Skillet and didn’t expect much, I didn’t get much either. One drink over a 2 hour span of being there.
I ordered the Sriracha Jalapeño Burger and was surprised when they gave me their «secret sauce» of thousand island dressing, very original. The bun and everything around it was soaked in grease to the point of just wet dough.
Would not recommend or come back unless I needed gas REALLY BAD.

If you don’t want to be bothered with drink refills or being asked «how is your meal?» before getting your bill, then this place is for you.
Food was slow to get but it was hot.

I’ve been here twice while waiting for coach. Service is great, but the food really sucks. I won’t try again.

We stop at the Iron Skillet mainly for the amazing cole slaw. They make it in house and a side is enough for two. The staff is always very nice and the business seems to be well run.

The buffet has a good variety but tastes mediocre.
My apple was rotten through, I’ll attach the picture.
I had to ask the guy hitting on the girl working behind the buffet to move so I could get food. They proceeded to chat in front of me extremely inappropriately and after sitting down my husband watched them exchange numbers.
This is the type of place that gives truck stops and OTR truckers a bad name! We will not be back.

I enjoy eating at this restaurant when the Chef named Mr. Mann is cooking! He’s an excellent cook that reminiscent of my southern roots.
This place would be wonderful if it weren’t for 2 things:
#1: We were told by one of the workers that crablegs will not be served anymore — the menu will be changing.
#2: I found a FLYING ant in my drink and the hostess/​manager named Karyn refused to acknowledge it & apologize but instead advised me to call Myron — the GM. Why bother! I would just as soon not go back & eat in unsanitary conditions!!!

The breakfast buffet is somewhat strange … you get the «sides» from the buffet, then order the main meal, eggs, pancakes. Strange. The sides didn’t seem all that appealing to me this morning. Nothing wrong with the display … full. For how long the food was on display, I don’t know. The restaurant wasn’t very busy so either the food was on display for a long time or it just got put out I did see a couple of customers go to the buffet and they weren’t complaining. In any case, I didn’t really care since I ended up ordering off the menu. I ordered a skillet dish that I believe was called the «ham scrambler.» It was to be scrambled eggs on top of ham and hash browns with a side of toast. The eggs weren’t scrambled (broken up scrambled), but they did cover ham cubes and has browns. I has some wheat toast with the meal. The meal was pretty good. My wife has some eggs/​french toast/​sausage combination and she was please with her meal
Overall, okay for breakfast; no comment on the buffet; waitress friendly, place relatively empty for a Saturday A.M., prices okay and clean from what I could see.

Lunch buffet so so? Service was very good

Im a trucker and usually enjoy the buffet at Iron Skillet but this place is not a corporate owned location and the owner insists on blasting Fox News in the trucker area with strict instructions not to change the channel. I couldn’t eat with that stupidity blasting at me. The waitress apologized but said she couldn’t change the channel even though other people ask as well. I called Petro corporate and got a prompt call back from the district manager who also apologized but this is a franchise so not much he could do. More people should complain.

I always drove past this place in the past but decided to stop in with a friend on the way home.
The place was clean and the waitress was friendly.
The menu was average and the prices were very reasonable.
We got our food and it was good and seasoned fine. The picture of my Skillet I ordered looked better than what got delivered but this seems true everywhere you go with pictures on menus.
What is nice it is attached to a gas station along with other small stores including a bakery outlet so it is an all in one stop since it is a big Truck stop for Truckers.
I enjoyed the meal and I would go back again if I was on that side if town. I would compare it to a Mom and Pop type of diner.

Good service from Meghan. Clean family friendly truck stop diner. Large portions at a good price. My scrambled eggs tasted a bit funky though.

Stopped in late one night and enjoyed a refreshing fresh salad bar, well stocked and a burger. Experience was exactly what I needed to get me back on my way. Amy the manager was great and accomodating

On our way to Pleasant Prairie outlet so decided to stop somewhere for breakfast. Had never been at Iron Skillet before so I thought we would be adventurous and give the truck stop a try. I love stopping at places like this, always an experience.
We were greeted and seated right away. I was surprised how nice it was inside and that they had a salad bar too.
We ordered off the menu and I got a spinach, egg and pepper jack breakfast sandwich with hash browns and my son to a grilled cheese. It took quite a long time to get the order but when it came it was very good. I wasn’t expecting much so it turned out ok. Tasted better than it looked.
Service was slooooooowwwww. Wasn’t’ impressed with our waitress at all. Not friendly, not motivated and didn’t seem to care to be there. How sad.
Overall, good experience and I would definitely stop in again to try something different.

Looks like an old Denny’s
Service mediocre
I got a steak breakfast skillet & was hopeful that the steak was of decent quality, and it did not disappoint
Most items seemed slightly overpriced for the kind of place it is

The buffet looked okay. I ordered the cajun shrimp wrap with coleslaw. I was very surprised by the flavor. It was good! I would also recommend this as a general truck stop because it has some pretty cool Wisconsin souvenirs and the restrooms smell good.

I loved this place. The food was excellent and quickly prepared. The waitresses were funny, enjoyed their jobs and suggested the best food.
On top of that they have a Danish bakery inside and a great truck-​stop shop.
Excellent all around. Over a weekend I came here three times it was so good.
