Welcome to Skillets

The mission of the restaurant is to provide affordable meals at any given time of the day. Come as you are and enjoy a delicious “home-style” meal, with entertainment, in a family atmosphere.

Skillets Café was established in 1994 as a small, family-owned and operated breakfast bistro, catering to breakfast customers at the south end of the island. After a fire destroyed an adjacent building, also causing damage to Skillets, the café shut down for nearly two years. In March of 2002, Skillets reopened. Now Skillets is located in a much larger and more attractive, free-standing structure with indoor/outdoor seating in a relaxed setting.

Because of the popularity and demand of our breakfast menu, as of October 2007, Skillets is now serving breakfast from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m.

Owner, Amie Baima, local resident since 1977, can be seen seating customers, bartending or serving up delicious meals. Baima has had a long relationship with the food industry on the island, opening and operating Just Pasta and The Coligny Bakery and providing such services as Corner Market Catering and Hilton Head Wedding Cakes. Amie holds a food science degree from Winthrop University and received a culinary degree from Johnson and Wales.

Entertainment

DAVID WINGO is back. A local island favoprite is playing Saturday nights on the patio and Sundays, Sunday night and Monday nights in our dining room.

TIM MALCHAK Tim first came to be known in the music industry during the eighties with a string of top 40 hit singles in Billboard’s Country Music Charts. Songs like his self-penned “Colorado Moon” and “Restless Angel” helped to establish him as a gifted and influential singer/songwriter. Later, in 1987 he was honored once again by Billboard Magazine as one of the Top Ten New Country Artists of that year. All while on an independent record label, Alpine Records.

Now residing on Hilton Head Island, Tim continues to make music his passion, playing the songs he was so greatly influenced by over the years. Artists like Jim Croce, Dan Fogelberg, James Taylor, John Denver and other singer/songwriters of that era, are what you can expect to hear from Tim in the casual Skillets setting.
