Want to get a sneak-peek of the diner that Skillet Street Food owner Joshua Henderson has planned for Capitol Hill?
Go to the Mount Baker Community Club (2811 Mount Rainier Drive S) on September 13, 14, or 15 between the hours of 5:30 and 9:30pm. There, Henderson has planned a three-day pop-up where he will preview the menu.
The menu will include four “tastes,” (including, yes, your precious poutine, $8), five mains, and four desserts. Of course, Skillet’s famed hamburger made the list of mains, as did seared sockeye, mac and cheese, farro risotto, and spiced pork belly (on a cornmeal waffle with fried egg and braising jus.) These entrees range from $13.5 (for the burger) to $17, for the sockeye. Desserts—nutella crostini, a fruit crisp—range from $4 to $6.
A kids menu—chicken fingers, grilled cheese and fries, cheeseburger and fries, and spaghetti and red sauce—will be served from 5:30 to 6:30.
There will be beer and wine too. No reservations.

Hmm… interesting to see how this goes, but I’m betting against.
They were a cool novelty as a food truck. Now they’re dropping a $13.50 burger?
Come on… Who do they think they are? It’s great food truck food (although maybe surpassed by this point by a few competitors), but I don’t know that i’d make them my restaurant selection.
Can’t believe they are still in biz. The novelty wore off. Spend your money elsewhere folks. Not a legit guy.
I’m curious about the two negative posts. What is it that you don’t like about Skillet? I love their burger and from the truck it’s $13 with fries so $13.50 for sit down is not off. I’m really looking forward to them having a sit down place (in my neighborhood to boot).
I think this is great! Portable food moving into fixed locations has been successful as of late (Veraci Pizza, Anita’s) so I am looking forward to not having to figure out where the truck is going to be to make plans. It will also give them the opportunity to expand the menu and I for one can’t wait to see what they come up with!
