"No matter what else you eat for breakfast -- even if it's pancakes -- you NEED freshly-baked Silver Skillet biscuits on the side."
Michael Stern
"If we had time to eat only one single thing in Atlanta (perish the thought!), it would be a slice of Silver Skillet lemon ice box pie. They make one per day, so often it is gone by the middle of lunch hour. We had this creamy, rich, and unspeakably delicious slice as dessert after breakfast."
Michael Stern
"AFTER eating ham and biscuits and lemon pie, we spied the beautiful pancakes being eaten by people in the booth next to us, so we needed to order a stack for ourselves. They're terrific, as one comes to expect from this estimable eat-place."
Michael Stern
"This is serious ham! It isn't quite as intense as some country hams, but it radiates flavor; and the red-eye gravy that comes with it is fantastic ... not only on the ham, but spooned over the excellent grits, too."
Michael Stern
"If Silver Skillet is out of the lemon ice box pie and they most likely will be, we highly recommend the excellent banana pudding. "

"Atlanta is Coca-Cola's home, so Jane decided that this was the appropriate way to get her morning caffeine: a big tumbler full of Coke."
Michael Stern
"Pork chops are a popular breakfast meat here and can be ordered fried or grilled."

"The walls are institutional yellow and the upholstery is avocado green and pumpkin-color. Just the right environment for eating inexpensive, home-cooked, Southern-style diner food."
Michael Stern
"The upholstery has seen better days, but like a favorite old easy chair, this restaurant makes up for its superficial dents and dings with a profound sense of comfort. Note the outward-sloping windows."
Michael Stern
"Signs like these just add to the great Roadfood atmosphere."

"The Silver Skillet has been a downtown Atlanta institution since 1947."
