Excellent food and service. Staff is very friendly and the food is home cooked types of meals. Been going here for eight years and have not had one single bad meal. read more

Great place for breakfast. It was busy with locals (good sign). There were lots of breakfast options but I had the scrambled eggs, potatoes, toast and husband got the fruit yogurt parfait with muffin (fresh fruit, yogurt, granola, which was huge). Service was very friendly. I'm still thinking about the stuffed french toast with fruit, which sounded delicious. The ambiance is nothing fancy but the food was good and we had leftovers. read more

The breakfast here is pretty good. Our wait staff was definitely on top of things, we had a larger party of people. It's a typical mom and pop restaurant. The dessert case looked like it had a lot to offer. I would go there again for a casual lunch or dinner. read more

The food is pretty good, and so are the prices - nothing spectacular but a nice spot for breakfast. I would give it 4 stars but the last time we were here I made what seemed to be a simple request which was shot down & ultimately I had to pay $4 more for less food. I feel like they could have been more accommodating & apologetic when telling me they couldn't do it. Instead she seemed annoyed which I can get as I'm sure others have asked before & the waitress has been told no by management. read more

Raised prices a few months ago understandable , but now your charging a fee to use a credit card. Do Better, don't be greedy !

On typical day, you can get good food and okay service. Looking for that wow factor, but have never had bad service. Also, the portions are usually big! Pretty good prices too. Best sandwich is the french dip. read more

We love their breakfast! Pancakes are to die for. My dad barely makes it home with takeout without cracking the container open. Delicious omelet yes. read more

I've been going to blue sky for a long time. Always a good time and meal and the hostesses are really nice. If you need the blinds closed they do it for you. Very sweet people 10/10 recommend. Their business is booming right now though so if you have more than 6 people I would call and make a reservation. read more

Great sandwiches, great dinners. I have dined in and picked up and I've never had a problem. Prices are reasonable for what you get

Good serving sizes, some waitresses are snotty & breakfast is the best time to GRAZE!!!

Always a pleasure eating here. The staff are friendly, the food is decent and it's a good price. It normally attracts the older folk, but I don't mind as long as they don't mind my family of 6 :) read more

Had lunch. Food was good as well as the service. The food for the price in today's restaurants is a good deal. They have a good senior menu also. Will be there again. We usually have around ten people and they handle us pretty well. read more

Decent enough experience at this restaurant. Service was pretty good and the food was ok. Main dish was good, but some of the sides tasted like cheap grocery store stuff (Mashed potatoes & stuffing). I've had better food in similar style restaurants. Overall it was an alright place to eat at and I'm sure i'll go back sometime in the future, but i won't be in a hurry to come back though. read more

Blue Sky Restaurant - American Near Me - Elyria, Ohio

Delicious lunch stop! Perch lunch special and a grilled chicken salad with walnut basalmic dressing - both delicious! Great food at a very reasonable price. The strawberry cheesecake was the cherry on top! read more

The aromas from the kitchen cooking homemade foods greets you at the door..... In Lorain County, this locally-owned casual family diner has two (2) locations, just off I-90, north on Route 58 at 917 N Leavitt Road in Amherst, & this location just east of Route 57 in Elyria. I've grown up with Blue Sky Restaurants. You might think that I'm biased, but I'm not. I was never a big fan of the Amherst location. However, my new appreciation for the Elyria spot has me curious to give Amherst another try. Both locations have plenty of parking. First, the meals are generous. The cold sides are always fresh; I usually go with a salad. The hot sides are great, especially the cream of potato soup, so delish. The dish-ware lends itself to perfect serving sizes, not too little, & if you eat slowly, enjoy, then you may savor each bite or even save some for later. We tried the eggplant parmigiana, which was tasty thick noodles with breaded medallions. We agreed that it was better than most but maybe needed more mozzarella cheese. We also ordered the chicken paprikash, which was homemade with rich, flavorful amber sauce that just looked yummy & pieces of real chicken breast cooked to perfection with great twisted spaetzle. The presentation of the food was so appetizing that we dove in & started eating before we had a chance to snap a couple photos of the deliciousness before us. Marissa's service was on point. She was great at outlining the daily specials, soupe du jour, & pie/dessert selections. Prices are definitely reasonable for the entrees provided with cold & warm sides. She checked in on us often, & the food was timely delivered with the right temperature. Many pros, we could not come up with any cons. Full disclosure, we have tried breakfast, lunch, & dinner at this location, & we have yet to be disappointed, a return visit is highly probable - with pictures promised next time! read more

Nice diner experience. Reasonable prices for quality and quantity of food. Friendly service. Kid friendly. Worth checking out if looking for a greasy spoon. read more

Family friendly restaurant. Big menu selection and senior specials (Mon.-Thur.). Friendly, efficient staff. You won't go away hungry with a regular dinner purchase. Dine in and take out available. Restaurant has taken great steps for social distancing, including the dining area. Nice glass partitions between booth seating. read more

We went through the list of restaurant candidates, even though this one is a littler farther than the rest, we thought this one is worth a try. It started with Great Customer Service, she was polite enough to come borrow our black pepper shaker, they're cleaning them, so there's only a few on each tables. If they're cleaning the pepper shakers, what does that tell you about a restaurant? Others, just wipe them clean, or almost empty! In our book, this server already have earned her 5 stars! We wanted the Senior Menu, and we've already picked what we wanted. While taking our orders, she asked us? This or that, this or that, and we didn't know we're getting MORE, and the price was so reasonable, but even though it was the smaller version of the regular dinner, we were full! AND we didn't, absolutely didn't have any more room for the delicious, yummy desserts, that greeted us when we entered the restaurant! I still have enough for another meal, my shrimp & fries, which was both good! Our chicken noodle soup, has two types of noodle, but really have to use a microscope to find bits of pieces of chicken! I'm glad they didn't serve alcoholic beverage! I just didn't want hubby have anymore, tonight's the night off! He was THAT TIRED! He actually drove straight, when both lanes were turning LEFT, and almost got us both killed in the middle of Elyria, and this is NO JOKE! read more

We love going to diners and experiencing a local style. This place is run efficiently, is very clean and has an extensive menu. I saw a patty melt on the menu and although I know they are loaded with calories, I couldn't help myself. The sandwich was large and greasy like it should be. It was cooked medium well like I had asked. But....it had Swiss and american cheese, which was odd and therefore didn't taste like a patty melt. I was bummed! My husband had the open faced turkey sandwich and couldn't get over how much fresh turkey was on his plate. The extremely yellow gravy was a bit creepy for me, but he thoroughly enjoyed it. Prices are very good and service was great. read more

Yiddish sandwich, Reuben on potato cakes, was a good idea. Different is good this time. The sandwich is not overflowing with corned beef but worth the price. Comes with a thousand island on The side The fries are nice and crispy. French onion soup was loaded with cheese and crock is large. Almost it's own meal. read more

Blue Sky Restaurant - Yiddish sandwich- think Reuben with potato pancakes instead of rye bread! Monday's only - American Near Me - Elyria, Ohio

They have amazing food and huge portions!! Always leave happy and full with leftovers.

A couple of yars ago when I was recovering from a sever illness, I got some vouchers for the elderly at the Lorain County Office on Aging to pay for a few meals a week at the Blue Sky Diner. The program was supposed to help older people with limited incomes get out for some nutritious meals and to socialise To get the vouchers you had to have a low income and be over 65. The seniors using these vouchers were counseled by the social worker to always leave at least a $1.50 tip (and more if possible). We did could not order from the regular menu, but rather a special menu . The wait staff did not treat us like paying customers, for the most part. The food was typical dinner food. One night I was not feeling well and in my haste to get home I forgot to leave the tip. Not long after the Office on Aging called my cell and left a message chastising me for not leaving a tip and threatened to remove me from the dining out program if this ever happened again. The waitress had contacted the social worker and reported me! I was so hurt and discouraged by this that I never went back. I cried my eyes out because I was so hurt. Now that I can afford to eat out I would never ever go to this place because the owners of The Blue Sky had agreed to this mean and degrading reporting system that embarrassed and belittled the elderly. I would never go to this establishment again and I should hope others would do the same! read more

Always good and priced right. Kids love the selection parents love the price. Recommend getting chicken parmigiana it never disappoints

I have been here twice. Both times I ordered the Blue Sky omelet, once with a side of pancakes. Their hot chocolate and coffee are amazing. It's hard to find good coffee these days. Back to the omelet, it is just packed full of meat and vegetables. Cooked to perfection. Blue Sky has a huge menu and everything looks amazing. You don't have to be a senior to order off the senior menu either. Healthier cheaper options are available to all. I love this place and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable delicious home cooked meal. read more

My husband and I were in Elyria looking for a new home. We went to Blue Sky and the first thing I saw was a sign that service might be slower than usual due to staff shortage. We were seated immediately and our server was there within a minute or slow. Such a friendly young lady. Our delicious food arrived in a decent amount of time. If we do move to Elyria we will definitely frequent Blue Sky again. read more

Great restaurant! Good food, amazing soup, and nice people. The paintings on the walls are an added bonus during a gray winter day.

This is one of my favorite restaurants. The service here is awesome. The food is always great and if you ever rent there party room the service in there is always great. The banquet food is the best around. read more

Great selection of food. Excellent prices. Very friendly employees. Have been getting different breakfasts and dinners since we moved here 4 years ago. read more

Had a delicious Sunday breakfast here. Even with the crowd, we didn't wait long, and you can't beat the prices! Definitely will be going back to try out their lunch/dinner options! read more

Well got a regular cheese omelette with hash browns and bacon only thing is I got fluffy sponge with no flavor and hash brown burnt crumbles I called to find out they don't beat their eggs they use a blender which I think is the reason they were tooooooo fluffy!! The manager didn't really want to give me a refund and she wasn't the nicest.. I wish I could give them 0 stars.. read more

Always amazing love love love this place food is always fresh and homemade and not to mention you cannot beat the price!!

Excellent food, made to order!! Friendly staff that gets to know you on a 1st name basis.

Stopped in for lunch with a client.. Had the veggie omelette and tea. Prompt service, good price, vast menu. If you are ever in the area, pls stop in read more

I went to Blue Sky while in town the other day, hyping it up to my family and friends, and was sadly dissapointed. Where did my amazing little diner go? You do still get tons of sides if you order a dinner, but everything was just...not great. The soup barely had any flavor, my crab cake tasted off and it was disappointing this time around. The french fries were still good, but maybe this place is a hit or miss depending upon who is cooking that day. read more

Good home cooked meals that is prepared fast once ordered and the staff are so friendly here! I would recommend anyone coming to this family oriented place read more

Great restaurant, always stop in when in town. Huge portions, always fast service, good coffee, usually packed.

To start off I will say that the food is usually quite good and the service is friendly and competent...usually! On this night however, the food was abysmal and the service was entirely forgetable. My wifes 'Blue Sky Salad' said "mixed greens" but was actually large, mostly inedible chunks of wilted (and somewhat brown around the edges!) iceberg lettuce. My daughters chicken parmesean sandwich, whilw quite large was deep fryer burnt. The french onion soup was amazig as usual. The server forgot my wifes order and had to come back to get it...i ordered the chicken philly supreme...what i got was the philly cheesesteak supreme. The server said she only heard philly supreme not the chicken part. To top it off the server returned and started to clear the table without asking...she took some of our food to throw away!! Sadly this place is usually much better...this was a bad night. Probably wont return for another... read more

We go here a lot for breakfast. I usually get an omelette. It's always stuffed with meat & cheese. The portion sizes are huge compared to Bob Evans & Perkins. An omelette is only $6.99. You get a huge portion of hash browns as well. The hash browns are pretty bland but they have no problem adding some peppers & onions to them for you. At my servers suggestion, I tried pouring a cup of gravy over top of them. Delicious! Loved the gravy. Atmosphere is ok, nothing fancy, but it's clean. The bathrooms are always pretty clean. We've had just about all the servers here and honestly all of them are really friendly. Some more than others but for the most part, they are all really friendly & attentive. On top of drink refills. Love them place. Wish I had one a little closer to my home. read more

Hey what's up? Me again! So this place is obviously called blue sky but you're inside? So u can't really see how blue the sky really is! The food.....just fanfrickentastic! I mean it just goes inside your throat and youre done! I recommend the eggs Benedict because I get it every time! I've never tried the bathrooms here so that's why it's a four star so you never know if they suck or nah! Probably not! The atmosphere is just fanfrickentastic! Old people everywhere!! It's like a nursing home! Awesome! The music is a little old for my liking but I'm pretty sure everyone else is okay with it! So that's fine by me! Edit: I just finished eating and boy do I have a story for you! So I thought it was Friday...and the waitress reminded me that it was still Thursday and I almost cried...I really hate Thursday I mean it's like Friday Eve! Gross. She also said I was the spitting image of my dad which I don't know why she had to insult me so bad..another dollar off her tip. Other than that it's just fanfrickentastic! read more

Servers are wonderful and accommodating especially if you have special needs. Food tastes like home cooked meal. Tons of options.
