Awesome service. We arrived at 7:15 on a Friday night and were seated by 7:30! Couldn't believe we got a table that quick. The food was great and the drinks were good except for my wife's sangria. It was quite tasteless and not worth $9 a glass. I had a stout then a Kentucky Mule which was excellent.

My husband and I ordered Skip's to go a couple of nights ago and could not have been more impressed! Usually when we order to go anywhere else, the food is less than stellar. However, the food from Skip's was still the best I've ever had.We ordered the mussels, calamari, and bruschetta for apps, and Bowtie Creole and Ribs for entrees. We seriously have never had anything so good, let alone take out so good!I can't even imagine how out of this world delicious it would have been eating in!Thank you to Skip's for your INCREDIBLE delicious food!

A group of us went to Skip's for dinner on a Saturday. We got there about 6pm and only had to wait about 20min to be seated. The atmosphere of the restaurant is very dark and intimate. Once it filled up we did find it hard to hear each other at the dinner table . We were seated in the back by a window. The table wasn't very conducive to our party size but we made it work. The waitress was very attentive and knew her stuff she was just a little rough around the edges. We ordered a plate of onion rings to get us started and they were a huge success! The plate they brought out was heaping and it had no problem feeding our group of 8 and there were some leftover. We all ordered our entrees and most of us got the salad as our side. Glad we did, the parmesan dressing is out of this world, one of the best salads I've had in a long time, not a lot of frills but what they do they do right. I am including all the pictures from our entrees. Most everything was good except for the jalapeno pasta. They have been making that for over 30 years but when we were there it really didn't have any flavor. I bet it's because jalapenos aren't in season. Overall I would say if you haven't been here go give it a try. We are going back again, this time we will wait until jalapenos are in season. 😉

Skips was the best restaurant I've had within about 20 minutes of the airport so far. The only five star meal. The Creole pasta was fantastic. The chili was good. The garlic bread on point. Would absolutely come back.

Liked it so much we went back the next day. Visiting from WA state and the had a really good experience. The restaurant is in an old house and is roomier than it looks and quite pleasant inside. The staff is amazing - really friendly and welcoming in a genuine way. I had a grilled salmon Caesar and the salmon was cooked perfectly. The next day we stopped on the way to the airport because we knew they serve quickly and it would keep us on schedule. Not disappointed great service and good food again.

Absolutely phenomenal service and food. Julie provides fantastic service, she is so welcoming and friendly. She thrives when she busy making you never feel forgotten.We typically get their nachos which are too die for!! But last night we tried spinach and artichoke dip and shared their loaded baked potato soup. The soup was excellent!!For entrees we decided on Carbonara without mushrooms and Fettuccine Alfredo which come with salads. Their house salad dressing is honey mustard which one of my absolute favorites! The fettuccine was a little off and quite buttery but highly recommend the Carbonara! The chicken was fantastic!!

Terrific food, prime rib melts in your mouth. Staff is amazing, prices are a little higher than average but the food is worth it. My wife and I both got prime rib and drinks and it was about $80. The only downfall is that it was a bit too crowded. We'll go back again.

I have lived in Iowa for 55 years and this was my first visit to Skips and we will definitely be back. Our server was very professional and I wish I could remember her name. The beer was served ice cold and both the appetizer and meals where served hot and tasted fantastic... Great Job !!!!

IMO, the Best Burger in the state is served here! My burger was done to perfection from fresh ground beef, garnished with fresh tomatoes and onions, and topped with peppy jack cheese. Served with a side order of black beans. A great meal 😋. The servers were awesome 👍 too!!

We took my son out to a celebratory dinner for his college graduation. All of the staff were attentive and our food and drinks were awesome. It was a great meal and the staff made it memorable. Everyone loved their dinners and we all left full and happy.
