  Not exactly cheap, but not over priced either. Very friendly bartender, nice atmosphere and TV's within sight. Biggest downside was my draft beer was flat.

  While I'm not a huge fan of the decor at Skip's Place, Too, which looks like an Elk lodge from 1973, I do enjoy their food and drinks. Skip's specializes in comfort food which I am a big fan of and their fried chicken is pretty darn good. I also like their fried fish platters. Skip's is a good place to stop for breakfast and lunch, too, if you like consistent, no-frills, food. They also have pretty good drink specials at night.

  I'm not exactly the fried chicken kind of gal. Nor am I a huge fan of mashed potatoes undulating in a gritty bath of gravy. I don't really know the nuances in the dry crunch of a biscuit either.
  
  But I don't think you have to know that in order to enjoy a really good plate of comfort food. Even if you're not a connoisseur, you know what doesn't work. And when something does work, it's almost an effortless understanding.
  
  My meal at Skip's was like this. It was sort of comfort nirvana. Everything was real and made from scratch. The chicken was a special order and took a good 20 minutes or so, as described on the menu, but it was worth the wait.
  
  Now, while waiting, I won't lie in saying it was a walk in the park. I mean, there were animals staring back at me. Literally. The restaurant, which is really nothing more than a bar with more seating, is full of stuffed animals. But not the kind your kids would like. There were some animals I'd never really seen in person, like wild boar and all manner of scary and disturbing taxidermical subjects.
  
  I tried hard pretending that I wasn't eating the cousin of one of these poor creatures.
  
  If you can get past that, you'll be okay, because the food makes up for it. Even the bread pudding, which is nothing other than white, gooey bread from the grocery store, manages to be incredible. Somehow, meringue is incorporated in the mix, along with a subtle vanilla sauce. If you can imagine bread pudding this good in a place with animal heads and top notch country cooking, then you understand the beauty of Skip's.
