Looks like the latest in the trend of full-service restaurants adding limited-service casual lunch options. The prices look pretty reasonable: $7 for a waffle with two pieces of chicken, $6.50 for a "chicken box" with two pieces of chicken, a side and an "angel biscuit" etc. I didn't see any reports on chowhound, although it's apparently been open since May. http://www.littleskilletsf.com/ Thu Aug 27 11:21:19 -0700 2009 10159 Ruth Lafler 1 4983178 I was STARVED when I went there but thought the chicken and biscuit were quite decent; my friend enjoyed her chicken and waffles. In this case Little Skillet isn't anywhere near farmer brown, so it really i just a limited service casual lunch spot. There are long lines that move relatively quickly, and when I was there it was cash only.

Thu Aug 27 11:55:18 -0700 2009 4983178 10159 Ruth Lafler 3 4983262 sure, happy to report. Of course now you're making me consider walking over there for lunch today :) Thu Aug 27 12:03:53 -0700 2009 4983225 82489 margieco 1 4983302 This place is a good value. The chicken and waffles is fine, I liked the large biscuit. I've also had the shrimp creole po'boy which had tons of shrimp in a tasty, though not very spicy sauce. Good for the money, though you will be sitting on the sidewalk or milk crates if you don't take it back to the office.

Thu Aug 27 12:21:15 -0700 2009 4983100 10039 Melanie Wong 2 4983373 Ah thanks. I'd mistakenly thought it was directly connected to Farmer Brown and done a check of the Farmer Brown place link but not Little Skillet. I probably read those threads and just didn't make the connection. Thu Aug 27 12:29:50 -0700 2009 4983328 10159 Ruth Lafler 1 4983493 I posted about it right after they opened in the SOMA lunch thread. It's fine. Small portions, so not that cheap, and you need a nap or an hour at the gym after so much butter. But worth a stop if you're in the neighborhood. Thu Aug 27 13:09:33 -0700 2009 4983100 10966 Windy 2 4983560 The portions actually seemed pretty big to me. The po' boy sandwiches were huge and I regularly find 3 pieces of good sized chicken when I order the 2 piece chicken lunch box. Thu Aug 27 13:32:12 -0700 2009 4983493 214010 gyc 1 4984753 I just ate there yesterday with my big sis! As I was ordering the chicken and waffles, they passed a tray of red velvet cupcakes over my head through the pass through. Of course I had to get one. It was great, not too sweet, tender, moist, delicious. The chicken was extra crispy, a bit dry though. The waffle was really good, also tender, slightly crispy. A fun lunch. Also had a nice drip blue bottle from the window next door. Thu Aug 27 22:07:53 -0700 2009 4983100 15457 peppatty 1 4984772 I had the bacon wrapped hot dog and it was very tasty. The sauce makes it, kind of a sweet bbq sauce. The cornmeal waffle "bun" was a brilliant idea. I also tried the black pepper and brown sugar biscuit. Again, good flavor but the texture of the biscuit was a little too dense compared to other good, southern style biscuits. They serve natural sodas like Faygo and others, which I always appreciate. Prices seemed right in line with other lunches in the area. As others have noted, you'll be sitting on a curb or the loading dock across the street (watch out because those doors open and swing out!). The place is essentially a take out window in the side of the building. Thu Aug 27 22:23:55 -0700 2009 4983100 130031 Shane Greenwood 2 4985788 Cornmeal waffle bun does sound brilliant! How much? Fri Aug 28 09:34:35 -0700 2009 4984772 10159 Ruth Lafler 3 4987632 $10 for the dog with pickle and chips. Fri Aug 28 20:30:26 -0700 2009 4985788 130031 Shane Greenwood
