ZimSkillet

08/27/2024

It has been a fantastic 6 years at ZimSkillet, and we have loved serving the characters in Newborn. As most of y’all know, I (Paul Z) was in a motorcycle crash in November of last year. I have been hoping that I would recover to 100% and be able to resume my normal schedule of working and running the BBQ restaurant. It is apparent that I will not recover fully; Sadly, I cannot be on my feet all day and do all that it takes to do what I love at ZimSkillet. Thus, we are closing the restaurant. I have to be fair to our staff and my wife, Laura, who have done so much heavy lifting for me since last November. I am so thankful to Judy and Cody who have been working so hard to keep the Skillet open; no words can say Thank You enough.
And a huge Thank You to all of Newborn for all the support and a great 6 years. Newborn is truly a “Town of Characters”, and we love you all!

We were going to be closed this whole weekend, due to a lack of warm bodies, but our Superstar Cody asked if he could run the restaurant as a one man show! We said yes, so ZimSkillet will be open tomorrow, Saturday (June 1st) with ONE GUY doing everything!! Go get some BBQ from the drive-through, and be patient!😂

Hey Everyone, we are NOT going to be open today. We are short-staffed already, and have another staff member who woke up sick this morning. We are so sorry, but just don’t have any choice! We will open back up again on Thursday, 12/7. Hope to see you then!!

We finally made it home from the hospital last night! Thank you all for your kind words and mostly for your prayers. (For anyone who doesn’t know, I was hit by a truck on my motorcycle almost in front of the restaurant last Wednesday.)
I have a lot of healing to do, so I will not be able to be on my feet for a while. ZimSkillet will be closed until November 30th. We will still smoke turkeys and hams that have been ordered for Thanksgiving. Please be patient with us as we figure out a plan; I will update y’all soon. We have a fantastic staff, though a small one!😄
