Great food great service was sad to hear the Merkel location was closing may God bless whatever is next for the owner and his family look forward to trying their other locations

It’s a hole in the wall! But it’s worth the trip for sure! We came to Merkel for a Going Home our coC preacher recommended and he was not wrong! We drove out of our way to eat there a 2nd time before flying out of DFW IAP the smothered chicken was as perfect as the first time. We are visiting again in a few months & SKEET’s is on the itinerary! Have had the pleasure of eating meals from all of the country & world - the food is worth a 2nd, 3rd go! Isn’t that right Bro. Dave! LOVE OUR HOLES IN THE WALL!

Don’t let the outside look fool you. Great service. And seriously the food is 10/10 amazing. I got the fish platter and will be back.. and for you salsa lovers, they make there salsa homemade.

Andrei Chemeris

Maria Ochoa

I had an amazing fajita salad great place friendly staff my husband had a cheese burger it was delicious 😋

Zane Roberts

The food was delicious and not over priced. The waitresses were very friendly and received higher than usual tips. We were a group of 12 and ate there every evening for 8 days.

Alexus W

The chicken fried chicken was fantastic. The baked potato was actually cooked all the way through. The taco salad with fajita meat was perfection. The fried mushrooms were great too. What I appreciate greatly was their caution with my food allergy and their oil did not taste old 😅

Christina Stephen Howard

The staff was sweet and played along. The food was amazing. The fried biscuit was a surprise!

Karyn Dewitt

Air conditioner out but fans did pretty good, food was great & the service was awesome!!! Wish I would've gotten the name of my server but her sister works there also & both of them were Alot of fun & we felt very welcomed 💖

Charlie Watkins

Small hole in the wall diner with limited seating. Great service, I had the chicken fried steak, wife had the mushroom burger. Both looked great, steak was awesome-tender and crispy shell.

Pam Haston

Great food, great prices, great friendly service. I had the chicken fried steak and my husband had the seafood platter. We both left full and happy.

Bob Thorman

Really good chicken fried steak and great service. Their ice tea was really good too. The dining room is very simple and the ice machine is pretty loud but it was a very pleasant experience nonetheless. About as down home Texas country as it gets. Highly recommend.

I have been in 6 different States over the last year and sure missed Texas food. Skeets has 4 locations in and around Abilene. The location in Merkel was very clean, service was great as was the food. It was also a bargain. A large chicken fried steak, loaded baked potato, roll and small salad, $10.

Jungle Explorer

Best chicken fried stake in Texas. I don't know what this location does, but their food is just better. Been eating here for years and it is always a great. The food is great and the prices are too.

Garry Houston

Skeet’s is your typical small town, family owned, diner that you love to go to. We try to go at least twice a month. There are plenty of options on the menu, from appetizers, hamburgers, sandwiches, steaks, seafood, and anything else you might expect to find in your typical fantastic hole in the wall Café. The chicken Fried steak is always a favorite at the table. The dining room room is certainly nothing special, but the service and food are always great. I definitely recommend you give Skeet’s a try!

Wife and I stumbled upon this... TRUCKERS, MUST STOP. Mom and Pop restaurant..Wonderful 🎉 ...Freddie Jay, Cathy and Areiral 🐕‍🦺

Monica Pagan

It's like a mom and pop restaurant. Southern style fish was really good with fries. Onion rings were excellent according to my husband. Chicken fried steak is good, gravy could be homemade. Brooke was our waitress. Very good about refills, bringing food out and checking on us. Ask for Brooke. Overall experience was really good. Thank you Skeets! We will be back!

Faith Baker

Starting with the food, its great! The rest not so much. The place is filthy! Like I hope the kitchen is at least clean. Bottles of oxygen behind the bathroom door! The bathroom was barley accessible for me and my toddler, cant imagine a wheelchair getting in! The staff seems urgent and upset, like they were not happy, maybe its the workplace or maybe its the fact that it was ROASTING inside, 90 outside probably hotter inside. My husband had to take our toddler outside to cool off!

Tammy Odom

It was very hot in the building. Had a hard time eating when it's hot. I'm sure the employees were hot cooking. Wait staff was awesome. Food was ok we got a fried pickle and a piece of a chicken strip along with our food. Beans were dry,canned, coleslaw needs seasoning fish was ok.

Stephanie Graf

The food and the setting is fantastic. The waitress was a little preoccupied and was not very attentive. We wanted desert but was never asked and I had to get up to get my own to go box. The cook nailed it though!!

J No

Honestly it was an online order Not good. literally 1.2 miles away add this review gave me more trouble and heartburn then it was worth.

Jeremy Stoots

They ran out of ribeyes mid afternoon, the food was bland and unflavored, the waitress was aggressive and rude, my wife tried to pleasant and her responses where one word and not kind with her demeanor.
