Food is always great. We love the Reuben, Antipasta salad, Fried Chicken and Pizza. We have never had a disappointing meal at Skinners. Prices are very reasonable. Service is good too.

We were looking for someone to cater our tech breakfast. We were having a hard time trying to find someone to do pancakes and the ones we found were over priced and would not deliver. I called up Skinners and they were able to work with us, even when we had to change the date and amount of people. I appreciated that they were willing to work with us and deliver early in the morning to fit our schedule.
