New eatery comes to Tinley Park
By Bob Bong
Southland Savvy staff
Another restaurant that caters to the breakfast and lunch crowd has opened in Tinley Park. Skillet House II opened a couple of weeks ago at 16729 S. 80th Ave., said owner Juan Castillo, who has operated Skillet House I at 10933 S. Cicero Ave. in Oak Lawn for the past 12 years.
Castillo, who has been in the restaurant business his whole career, said he wanted a second location and Tinley Park seemed a good choice. "We were looking and this location (167th and 80th Avenue) seemed like a good corner," he said.
Business has been pretty good so far, Castillo said. "We just opened so it takes a little while for word of mouth to let people know you're open."
The restaurant is open from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily. The phone number is 708-633-1919. Castillo said a Web site should be up soon at http://www.skillethouse.com/
A couple of other restaurants have operated at the site over the years including Broken Egg Pancake House and a Polish cuisine restaurant.
