Ski’s All American Pub

Great bartenders, great prices! I came in on a Friday night, great music and fun atmosphere. They have four dart boards and make a little dance floor for the music. Parking in the front and the back. COME ON A TUESDAY. Buy one get one pizzas and the pizza is amazing!

A pretty decent looking bar with an above average pizza. The overall look of the bar was nothing special nor was the dining area. Try the skis pizza crust rather that regular thin crust as it is much better. This is the local hangout for young adults in the area. He food looks great but the cook is scary looking.

Wow, has this place changed. If you’re looking for a beer or drink, probably fine but food is another story.
Trying to eat healthier, it, s been maybe 8 mos since we have been here. Went at 745p for the fish fry. Some tables empty but none cleared. Sat at a table and the waitress came up to clear and said «if you’re eating, it is gonna be a wait» I asked how long and she said she would check. When she came back she asked what we were getting and when we told her, she said «one and a half ro two hours. but no guarantee». «Really, didn’t you know you were open tonight?» «We’ve been really busy».
Here I sit writing this ay Twin Tavern in DeKalb. Can’t see us goinf back here to Ski’s anytime soon.

This one is tough. We went there on a Tuesday night. (Buy 1, get 1 free pizza) The service was horrible. It took forever to get our food, and half of the orders were wrong. BUT the pizza was amazing. The best pizza we have been able to find in this area that is filled with mediocre college fare. So is the great pizza worth dealing with bad service? Yes, I believe it is.

I had nothing but a few drinks here. As an «outsider», the regulars were friendly and the service quick and courteous. I’ll definitely stop by again when in the area.

My husband and I actually came to this building for State Street Pizzeria. After we sat down and looked at the menu, we realized we were in the pub and not the pizzeria, which is located downstairs. Since we had already ordered our drinks ($ 1 drafts!) and the bar had pizza, we just decided to stay.
It was a Sunday afternoon, so the restaurant portion of the building was pretty empty with the exception of a group of men dining on baskets of fried food. The bar, however, was a different story. What I loved about this place was how it was a Sunday afternoon and the entire bar was filled with middle-​aged and elderly people drinking beers and watching NASCAR. This bar screams, «I’m the neighborhood bar in a small town!» Just perfect.
We ended up ordering pizza and waiting way too long for it. I forget why. Regardless, we didn’t mind as we snacked on free popcorn, relaxed, and people-​watched. Something about this place made us feel at home. I can’t quite put my finger on it.
Our half cheese/​half Italian beef hand-​tossed pizza was pretty amazing. We definitely weren’t expecting it to taste as delicious as it was! I’m drooling right now, thinking about it. The pizza cost more than we thought it would be but it was worth it. I’d go back.
In fact, because of our long wait, we received two free drink chips. I still have them — we’re planning to back again in the near future for more pizza and free beer!

Ski’s is an unpretentious place where people from all walks of life socialize in a comfortable, boozy, and reasonably priced environment.

This was the first time we’ve gotten food from this place and we opted to have it delivered. We were impressed by the extensive menu and I have heard that the place was good. To gauge our thoughts on this place we decided to get something basic that would deliver well: pizza. The delivery speed was average. The pizza looked and smell delicious until we took the first bite. Much Like Ashley (previous reviewer) we had a terrible experience with the sauce. Luckily our was not chunky rather it was sour. I had such high hopes for this place. It wasn’t worth the risk; we tossed it.

I know what you’re probably thinking. 1 star? Is it really that bad? Yes, fellow Unilocalers, it is that bad. But first, a few things I would like to acknowledge about my experience before telling you why they earned such a low rating.
1. I had the food delivered. One could argue that, well, if you’re going to offer delivery, then you should be ready to offer food that is at least on the same level as your in-​restaurant food. I personally believe this, but I will still consider this factor as a benefit of the doubt sort of thing.
2. I have only had food from here once.
3. The person I ate with had the same dish as me, so the rating falls heavily on a very tiny sample size.
With all of that being said, let’s get started.
Great website. Large amount of options. A pub that delivers? Fantastic! Fewer things are more American than pub burgers, and they have quite a few options there. We, however, opted for the italian section. We both got cheese ravioli with marinara sauce, and added the melted mozzarella (1.50 more just to get something we assume to be standard? Eh, we love cheese, it seemed worth it) atop it. It also came with a piece of garlic bread and a house salad, both of which ended up being so very very very standard and lackluster that I almost felt like I was betraying some deep part within me that told me I really should have just gone with mcdonald’s instead.
After some time of waiting, we finally got the food. Alright, time for some delicious ravioli! …Orrrr not. We open up our containers only to see that the marinara looks like some sort of abomination. The color was about the same as chili, and there were even unexplainable chunks throughout that surely looked like pinto beans. Oddly enough, there wasn’t anything chunky in the sauce. It just managed to look chunky until it was in your mouth. And then, a whole new lot of other problems arose. Namely, the fact that it tasted horrid. It tasted burnt, overcooked, too salty, not enough of a tomato taste, too much of a «secret ingredient» sort of taste, and it was just overall the worst marinara sauce I’ve had to date. I would prefer watery marinara stuff to this greasy salty burnt mess. The ravioli seemed to be cooked al dente, or at the very least overmicrowaved. I love al dente when we are talking fettucine or spaghetti, but ravioli? I’d rather not, thanks.
All in all, the food we tried was horrible and, anything that wouldn’t be described as nasty (we were cleansing out palettes with coffee non-​stop afterwards) was subpar at best. I would say I’d give this another shot, but with such a monumental fail, how could any food at Ski’s be that much better?

If you are all about crowds this is the place for you!
I agree with Cressida H. that this is a great place to people watch if that is your thing. I got some food here and it was ok. It served its purpose.

Thought I was gonna get my dance on. Ended up being a band called Shuvlhed. They actually weren’t bad. Not a bad night
