Skip's is a gem on Fleur Dr! The cozy atmosphere of this converted old house sets the perfect backdrop for a laid-back dining experience.

I highly recommend the steak deburgo - it’s the best my husband has ever had! 🌟 The onion rings were thin, crispy, and served hot, just how we like them.

Though it can get busy and the service may slow a bit during peak hours, the staff remains friendly and attentive. Just be prepared for a wait on weekends!

Definitely a must-try! 🍽️
