Breakfast is AMAZING! Chocolate chip pancakes and french fries Other food is very appealing if you are 75+ years of age!

The prices are basically average for a restaurant like this. For the meal that I had and the others I sampled I'd say its a pretty decent place. I expected more flavor from the philly steak supreme but it lacked in that respect. The portions are of decent size, nothing wrong with that. Overall I'd give it a 4 star rating and I'll be sure to give an update when I try the ribs or steak! I did enjoy the strawberry cheese cake as well. read more

Knowing I would be in Amherst I checked yelp for lunch suggestions. Blue Sky reviews were highly favorable with the few negative from whiners who perceived grand injustice rather than bad food. Since I rarely feel mortally abused by any servers I brought my friend to Blue Sky. We found a bright, cheery, clean room offering diner food with pleasant and efficient servers. I was so damn happy that Blue actually had hot turkey sandwiches with real roast turkey. My companion had the Philly cheese steak and said it was quite good. At the next table all three had Rubens stating that is all they ever order at Blue. Prices were average to low. Food is average to better. Ordering turkey and getting turkey takes them up one star above average for me. read more

This place is always great! Such a good deal for some good food. The prices are so reasonable, and the staff is so friendly. We eat here as a family at least once a week! Love the chicken wrap, and the soups of the day are delicious! read more

On a dreary dark grey day, we visited Blue Sky. Just as imagined, it's a family style diner with lots of clients eating huge plates and endless cups of coffee. We were seated immediately and a cheery waitress came around within a minute with hot coffee and a smile. The cloud murals on the wall set this slightly apart from other diner joints (Blue Sky is open 24-7), the food is just as a bit better than others we've visited. Leave your diet at home. Eggs, potatoes and toast are buttery and yummy as anything covered in butter will be, but they're also cooked perfectly. The Belgian waffle was light and airy and the pancakes were among the best I've eaten. Didn't want to put syrup on them! Can see why it has a following. Skip the nearby Denny's and head to Blue Sky next time you're drunk at 3 am. read more

My husband and I went here for dinner and thoroughly enjoyed it! I've never had deep-fried mashed potatoes but they were heavenly. His liver and onions were tender and perfectly cooked and my country fried steak was fork tender! read more

Good food good prices FLIES galore!! Waitresses don't seem to care about them, but service was good.

Pretty good lol American diner. Food was pretty good & price is good. I probably would go back if I was in the area.

Ordered liver and onions. Prepared very dry. Do not recommend. Poor quality food preparation. First and last time will be visiting Blue Sky.

I agree with Hannah: Blue Sky is the greasy-spoon of all greasy-spoons. Perfect for just about any moment, but heavenly when you're drunk or hungover (perhaps that's why they call it Blue Sky). I love coming back here when we visit Amherst, it's always a good time and the waitresses are amazingly tolerant of late night drunkards. The breakfast sandwich is to die for and the bomb is exactly that- it will wreck you. But you'll love every minute of it. They will definitely be seeing me again! read more

Being from out of town with my mother and grandmother they wanted bland American diner. Blah. Anyways, this was right across from our hotel so we went in. We were seated almost immediately but they were busy. Crazy to think because it's just this little corner nook of a plaza but we were "in town" compared to the farmland that is vastly around us. He brought our drinks and finally were able to order. 3/4 of us got Philly Cheesesteak deluxe. (The onions and peppers made it deluxe) It was bland but exactly what you'd expect that was fine because you can jazz it up. The server didn't come back by till we were about 15 minutes in. They had a steady stream of people that come through.. I guess that tells you something about the restaurant! All in all it's definitely the place you go after church and grab some lunch. The value was ok, for our food (4 ladies) was like $40. Not too bad considering my niece and I had a pop. If we get to go to Ohio again, my grandma will probably want to go back. Too me, we have so much of the original, I wish they had one thing that stood out but, nothing! :( read more

Blue Sky has such a diverse menu, it's really nice to have such a huge selection, from breakfast, lunch, dinner & after hours! I had their Philly Steak supreme sandwich. It came with generous amount of great fries & the best coleslaw!! Our server, Violeta was so friendly and attentive. Great hospitality! Which is half the experience of dining out. I highly recommend Blue Sky, and it's quite easy on the purse strings... Lol! #satisfiedcustomer read more

A great place for the post-bar crowd. A cool, greasy spoon for those who need to eat some breakfast at 3 a.m. or whenever. Granted, you'll have too put up with some of the usual late night banter, but the food is inexpensive and the portions filling. If you don't know where to go, here it is. read more

If you're up at 3AM and your usual selection of Denny's, Waffle House, and Truck stop food aren't doing it any more, you should consider taking a trip over to the Blue Sky in Amherst. While their overnight menu isn't as feature-packed as their daytime menu, I'm usually always impressed with the service, the food, and the portion size. If you're lucky enough to show up when Chicken Paprikash is on the special, I'd highly recommend getting that -- it's an amazing dish. read more

A solid 4-star breakfast. Huge portions, great prices, friendly service, very clean. I ordered the "Blue Sky" omelette (Onion, Green Pepper, Tomato, Mushroom, Ham, Sausage, Bacon, American and Swiss Cheese). As you can imagine, it was stuffed to overflowing and full of all of the greatness those ingredients imply. The home fries and rye toast were also spot on. The boy got a plate with eggs, sausage and French toast. 5 minutes later, his plate was empty and he was digging into my potatoes. Hopefully, the stitches on the back of his hand from me stabbing him with a fork won't leave a scar... If you're a local, it's a no-brainer. If you're hungry and passing through on the turnpike, it's worth a 10-minute detour to get there. Better coffee would go a long way towards earning that 5th star. If I ever get back there for lunch or dinner, we'll let you know how that goes. read more

It occurs to me after ordering it that I don't actually know what paprikash is, other than there is the possibility of there being too much pepper in it. Ultimately it was fine, which annoyingly denied me the opportunity of telling the waiter. Darn this perfectly adequate eating place! read more

my first experience here I was angry when I walked in the door. Bad day At work. I was seated promptly and my attitude quickly went away as myi smiling server put me so at ease. I devoured the breakfast of eggs, sausage, hashbrowns and flap jacks. Blue Sky puts ALL family style reatahrants to shame read more

Wow mom and pop dining at its finest - home cooked meals that taste great - the food was great the service excellent the prices well I'm pretty tight so free would be much better - but then that wouldn't fly would it - I was ok with the prices read more

Super slow unfortunately and the servers are rude when they are busy. not a great experience especially with the big chain diners across the street. read more

Stopped in for dinner Sunday night. Blue Sky is a great family place. Reminds me of Laurel's or George's Kitchen back when i was a kid. Home cooked food and a bunch of side dishes and you never leave hungry! I always judge a place by its burgers and coleslaw. If you can't make those good then forget it. Blue Sky passed the test! read more

Good food in a diner atmosphere. Excellent friendly service from Kasey! Had the Reuben with Stuffed Pepper soup. Would definitely come back. read more

It will be awhile before I go back . wish Bob evans was open always a great breakfast there !! read more

Sweet mother of God do I love Blue Sky. I have rarely been here without being some degree of drunk or tweaky. What this place excels at is standing as a greasy beacon of hope in the grim wee hours of the morning when you're either a) totally strung out after pulling several consecutive all-nighters during finals, or b) totally soused and somehow able to strong-arm a weak-willed, less-drunk friend into driving you. I'm getting a little verklempt just writing this, because Blue Sky was a pillar of my undergrad existence. I stand by the assertion that theirs is the best reuben I have tried. Buttered, toasted triangles of rye bread sandwiching strata of tender but lean corned beef, well-drained sauerkraut, all bound together by the mellow tanginess of perfectly melted swiss. The russian dressing is on the side so you can administer your own portion and also because they've figured out that it's the ultimate fry condiment. The waitresses are such spritely, bubbly, huggable good sports it's ridiculous. Do you know how many drunks and creepy child support-evaders with haggard stripper girlfriends a 24-hour diner in rural Ohio has to endure? Like, a lot. When you drunkenly declare to your waitress that you can't order because you're "SO CONFUSED" she smiles indulgently and tells you to take your time, even if you meant existentially confused and she probably knows that. If someone was having a bad trip I'd teleport them here. There's even a soothing mural of a, uh, blue sky on the back wall. Also they have a drool-worthy dessert case with hearty midwestern cavity-fests like Snickers cheesecake and coconut cream pie. Their gyro is toasty and succulent and staggeringly garlicky. Go figure, the best Greek and Jewish deli food I've had is in Amherst, OH. Also their motto is some hilarious tautological statement like, "We know that you like our food because the food that we serve you is what you love" or something like that. GO HERE GO HERE GO HERE GO HERE. Even if you have to fly in to the Cleveland Hopkins airport and drive for like 40 minutes. Well, maybe not, but if you're in the area, and especially if you're drunk or in abject despair or with friends late at night or at the brunchin' hour, check it out for sure. read more

They get one star for changing there hours I work 3rd shift I'm not saying they had the best food in the world but it beat Denny's in my opinion with there new hours there's really no options if you don't want Taco Bell or McDonald's read more

We came here because we knew it would be open for a late dinner, but the food is good enough to hold its own. It was a welcome surprise. Unfortunately, the first thing with which we were greeted as we sat down to choose our courses is a poetic implication that we should bow our heads and thank God via prayer for our meal. It's printed on the front of every menu. I'm not joking. I don't think they realize how this evangelizing can be offensive to anyone of an other-than-Abrahamic faith; atheists and agnostics; and especially any Christian who takes Jesus' advice about refraining from prayer in public as the word of... you know... God. So, minus one star for abruptly bringing up this old theological debate before we've had our food for thought. They might as well shove a Chick Tract in our faces (I write this because often other Christians find them unpleasant and unwelcome, also.). Despite their metaphysics, their tangible food was quite good. Our first course was a delightful cole slaw. It seemed to be made with less vinegar and more mayonaisse than typical slaw. It also had chunks of tart apple. This made it taste very fresh and creamy with enough citrus to wake it up. I would confidently bet that this is a house-made dish; but, if it's not, then every other restaurant is ordering their cole slaw from the wrong supplier. It was delicious. Next, I ordered a "Turkey Bacon" wrap. It arrived sans bacon, but that may have been a communication error on my part. I didn't complain, so it wasn't rectified. The wrap was just badly clumped turkey cold cuts, a small amount of diced tomato, and some lettuce. It felt like it was missing some sort of dressing --- either acidic, spicy, or both --- to make it kick. The fries with which our meals came were excellent. They were textured polygons of crispiness which served as vessels for a creamy potato filling. They had just the right amount of salt and oil. I really enjoyed them. I would not hesitate to return. Good eats. read more

Ever since I moved to lorain (2015) me and my fiancé have been coming here! Like we are the regulars, we're a young couple too. Their food is so good! And they're open 24/7, you can't beat that. I don't even know how Denny's is open still, they're across the street. They're always packed, but your food comes out quick!! Love this place read more

We were *so* excited to find a late-night eatery. This place was AWFUL - from the service to the food. Mozzarella sticks w no mozzarella inside?!?! That's become a running joke for us. Did I make the waiter aware? Yes. he shrugged, "Uh-sorry." When paying the cashier asked if everything was ok. I said No, not really. She looked like a deer in headlights and said, "oh...sorry". No one offered to refund the cheese-less mozzarella sticks. The other food was just ok at absolute best. We went once and will never go back - ever. read more

I've been looking for a good local breakfast place since I moved here and I finally got to this place on my list of to-trys. I was really excited when I first showed up, especially because the inside was clean, everyone looked happy, and the food looked good. I sat down, looked at the menu, and was pretty happy with what I saw. They had a $3.50ish breakfast that included eggs, bacon/sausage and hash browns. I didn't really want any bacon/sausage so I asked my waitress if I could have a couple slices of tomato instead. She said yes. What came out of the kitchen was a plate with only eggs and tomatoes on it. I asked where the hash browns were and she was obviously confused. I realized that she thought I wanted to sub both my meat and hash browns for tomatoes (not really sure how she thought that). She quickly said that she'd go grab the hash browns, which made me think that she had realized her error and was fixing it. Nope. When I got my bill it was for the $3.50 breakfast plus a $2.50 charge for hash browns. I sat at the table for a good five minutes waiting to see her again to dispute the bill but she didn't show. So I got up and went to the hostess/paying station and told her what had happened. She refused to correct my bill, telling me that the tomato wouldn't be considered a replacement for the meat and that they also would have been an additional $2.50 charge for them (so it didn't mater that the up-charge was for hash browns as I would have gotten that cost anyways just by asking for tomatoes). Believe me, this is -not- what I understood to be true when I had initially spoken to my waitress. Not to mention, if she had told me that they were going to charge me $2.50 for three slices of tomato I would have not ordered them. So basically, I ordered initially a breakfast that did not have the most expensive food item on it (meat) and they still wouldn't remove the additional $2.50 charge. Frankly, that's just a totally unacceptable business practice. read more

The food is mediocre, at best. The chicken noodle soup, and the minestrone were both very salty and obviously not homemade. The vegetables are usually soggy (green beans, in my case) - apparently from a can. I've eaten here several times, and have been disappointed each time. The best thing going for it are the desserts, which I have to admit are fabulous - but, the coffee wasn't hot.. I would stop by again for dessert, but I wouldn't eat dinner here read more

Came in for breakfast this morning with the wife and in laws. Food was great prices were very reasonable. What's cool is that they stained the woodowkr this morning just before we showed up, my wife didn't notice the wet paint sign and rubbing up against it. Sorry guys you may need to touch up the middle booth a bit. read more

Note about my review, I have never been here between the hours of 7 am to 2 am. I've been here twice, one time at 3 am and another at around 4:30 am. This is what I needed at 3 am or 4 am in the morning, when I'm pulling an all-nighter at Oberlin. Decent greasy food and huge servings. Service on the other hand can be drastically better but who would want to work the 3 am shift anyways? Now, the quality of the food isn't the best and it isn't healthy at all but I am glad that this is better than Denny's across the street. Hopefully, I won't have to be here at this ungodly hour anymore but if you have to choose between this and Denny's, you know where I will go. read more

Lots of food...as in large potions, but food is lacking in flavor and they use the cheapest ingredients. If you don't mind canned vegetables, instant mashed potatoes, instant bouillon mix soup and iceberg lettuce salads you might be satisfied with Blue Sky. read more
