One week from today, Skillet Diner Ballard is opening up in the Greenfire Campus (2034 NW 56th St). The diner will be open seven days a week, from 7 a.m. to midnight, and will be bigger than its Capitol Hill counterpart, seating about 100, with an additional patio that will seat 20.
Their menu includes breakfast, lunch and dinner, and boasts dishes such as “the little rob,” which is a breakfast sandwich on fluffy griddle cakes filled with applewood smoked bacon, american cheese and egg; “house-made biscuits and sage gravy,” made with mire poix and carlton farms pork brown sugar sausage. The breakfast menu also includes “ebelskivers,” which are danish pancakes with lingonberry jam and house-made brown sugar syrup. For the lunch crowd, Skillet will serve up burgers from Painted Hills farms, and sandwiches such as the “oyster po’ boy” with Taylor Shellfish oysters and the “ultimate grilled cheese,” done with brie, chedder and american cheeses. Dinner items include Swedish meatballs, Southern fried chicken, pan-seared scallops, and a boneless short rib pot roast. Here’s a link to their full Ballard menu.
They’ll open their doors to the public on Monday, Aug. 12. For a sneak peek at photos of their new location, click here for a Seattle Eater article about the new diner. Or, click here for updates from the diner itself.
