Golden Skillet

Was looking for fried chicken and this spot came up. It was right down the road from my hotel so that worked too. Everything was hot and fresh tasting. I got the bbq and 2 piece chicken plate. The chicken was crispy and delicious, the chopped bbq was good but could've used more pepper sauce, kind of dry. I don't think the Mac and cheese was baked but it was still good. The green beans, potato salad and hush puppies were also good. Had a sweet tea to wash it all down. Went to the waterfront to enjoy my meal. Would eat from there again and recommend.

First time visitor and it isn't the finest place to eat depending on what your looking for. However it's the closest to home cooked in this area as you will find. All else is fast foods around here. I tried the pork chop special with yams and strong beans. Was not expecting much at the$7.99 price. But much to my surprise it was nice size and tasty. The yams and green beans had great flavor. The pork chops was thin and good. To be so thin, they were very good. This place I passed by several times when I'm in the area and kept passing it. But now i know. It's good to stop. But i have to tell you they get a lot of others incorrect. So check your food before you leave there, especially if you're going through the drive thru.

Hungry and tired we happened across the Golden Skillet and ended up having some incredible fried chicken for such a low price we checked the receipt to make sure she rang us up for everything. They have all kinds of stuff on the menu but I recommend just the fried chicken. Nirvana.

We were passing through looking for a place to meet family and saw this place on yelp. Looked pretty decent so we stopped. Oh man. Glad we did. The food so hot and so fresh and the service was great. We will definitely stop back by on our way through again!

Southern food at its finest. Biscuits flakey and delicious, hush puppies sweet and rich, potato salad amazing! My bf had fried chicken and it was amazing! The service is amazing-real southern charm. Unlike most fast food spots-all the food is made to order fresh and hot! Even the biscuits!You would never know it but this place is the bomb. It feels kind of like town hall on Saturday-folks catching up with each other-feel home style vibe. Definitely worth the trip en route to outer banks!

Clearly this was NOT originally a Golden Skillet. VERY fancy inside! HUGE menu at very fair prices. Place was doing a heck of a business on a Tuesday at 1:30pm. The fried chicken was very good, as was the mac & cheese and mashed. I love finding these joints, esp at such an affordable price. This seemed like a "meeting spot" for many in the area. Friendly staff and good service.

Outstanding chicken livers!! I'll be back. I didn't eat at the restaurant, took it back to my hotel room, but it seemed very clean. The staff was super friendly!

Amazing chicken, great staff and amazing atmosphere, Mr Norman really helped me out picking the perfect dinner, those chicken bites are to die for, thanks again Norman!

Good food! Service is normally quick. A couple of times our ticket got lost and we were left sitting for 15 minutes till we went back to counter and had to give them our ticket to order again. Our other family members were done eating by the time we got our food. Tables are not always cleaned off in a timely manner but I usually carry wet ones and wipe the table myself...thanks to Covid era, I go prepared.

Very good food but very long wait. If you're in a hurry do not go here. Got 2 hotdogs a few nights ago and they didn't have the order after 30 minutes of waiting.
