Don't understand why the rate is below 4 here. I order a pork chop breakfast, fresh ingredients and freshly made. Staffs are friendly and helpful.

One server who was super busy but did the best she could with a great attitude! Food is average but easy enough for those of us over the road.

Service was great the waitress Desiree was great. Was disappointed they got rid of the salad bar but website still says the have it. Country fried chicken with mashed potatoes was on point. Chef salad was good. So was soup. Area of place is a truckers rest stop.

Located between the NJ Turnpike (I-95) and I-295 near Bordentown, Iron Skillet is housed in the Petco Truck Stop main building, occupying about half the structure. While not a regular at such cultural phenomena, I have visited enough of them over years of long car trips to appreciate what they offer. Plenty of gas pumps, restrooms, showers for truckers, convenience stores, and diner style grub that is usually carb laden and caffeinated. Sometimes, that menu is exactly what I want. Iron Skillet has a very good Chicken Fried Steak (w white gravy, hash browns, two eggs and toast/biscuits/pancakes). It is way more than I can eat, and I get the gravy on the side so I can avoid most of it, and know I won't finish the potatoes nor the rye toast, but placing the over-easy eggs on top of the breaded steak and eating them together is a very satisfying breakfast. The coffee is strong, and my request for milk resulted in a large glass of cow juice alongside the brown mug and backup carafe with two more refills to pour when wanted. Clearly designed for bigger appetites to sustain long haul drivers, I don't mind taking home what I can't consume. Service was friendly and efficient. They work in teams, as at least three people checked in with me and helped deliver my food. I also liked the floor design like many Waffle Houses with undulating counters that allowed the servers to approach all customers quickly and provide more "surface area," close to the kitchen. It wasn't crowded at 10 a.m., and very clean. Iron Skillet scratched my CFS itch for at least the next six months, and I appreciate the rest of its iconic approach to classic road stops. Definitely a worthy change of pace.

They can customize the food options, the way you want it , exactly how you like it. The staff is great and Very quick service. We are usually in and out within 20 - 30 mins. Very satisfying food.

I can 't say anything bad about this place.... They have remodeled it and it no longer has the feel of a truck stop... When you walk in it now appears like a diner... They do have a full buffet for breakfast, lunch, diner and late night... The hot section of the buffet does shutdown around midnight... As well as a huge menu that has diner food coming out hot from the kitchen... They are open 24 hours 7 days a week... The staff is always friendly and very helpful... My last visit my wife and I had the soup and salad buffet...
