Arugula Salad.
Emma G.

I deeply despise the term "hidden gem," but I'm hard-pressed not to use it here. This place is in the middle of nowhere, and I was only aware of its existence from local word of mouth, despite this being essentially my original HQ and my high school being a very short ride down the road (and good luck even seeing this from the road). Subtle doesn't even begin to describe this location. I came here this past Sunday for lunch with some chums, including two honorary young pup chums. The young pups were primarily brought along in the hopes that there might be some airplane action optics for them, so on that basis alone it was a success - we had at least two planes land in front of the windows, prompting a mixture of squeals and shushes. We also took a quick walk outside afterwards to look at the planes parked (feels like there must be a better word it) off to the side of the runway, which was an exciting mini-adventure for them despite the nippiness. Just to underscore the random area this is in, you have to drive off a county highway past the entrance to Beneduce, and then into the Sky Manor Airport, which requires driving all the way around and behind the airport buildings until you ultimately arrive at the restaurant. You earn this one. The interior of this place is pretty memorable too - I've been in a few local airport cafes before, and this is on par with them. Lots of wood paneling that feels like an unintentional homage to everyone's grandparents' basement (where were the Dean Martin records?), coupled with airplane swag on the walls and just an overall old school diner feel. I don't know that this restaurant is necessarily historic in the sense that it's been here for decades, but it's cozy and seems lived in, if that makes sense. Very cool. I'd been emotionally preparing for breakfast/brunch but didn't realize that that specific menu cuts off before noon, so I hemmed and hawed quite a bit at the lunch menu. None of the burgers or sandwiches were really speaking to me so I went with the Arugula Salad with the grilled chicken add-on, featuring sweet potatoes, cranberries and a soft boiled egg. It's pretty rare for me to go salad, but this is the kind of I'm into, and it delivered. Huge portion (I was decently hungry and probably left a quarter of it on the plate), and all of the sweet and savory perfectly complemented each other. If you're into salad chains, it reminded me a lot of the harvest bowl option at Chopt or Sweet Green but honestly better. The one miss for me was dessert. The pups were clamoring for chocolate cake, so I agreed to split a slice of the red velvet with my chum. I had a bad feeling when I stuck my fork into the side and actually had trouble getting a bite size worth separated from the rest of the slice - it was that stale. I'm guessing that particular cake was at least a day old, which literally and figuratively left a bit of a bad taste in the mouth. Pretty avoidable mistake, in my opinion. The pups seemed delighted with their option, so I suppose you take the victories where you can. The service was very good. The young pups probably prompted the hospitality to tick up a notch, which is more than fine. Our waitress was very friendly and stopped by regularly. When we ordered the chocolate cake for the pups to split, she then sliced that up on her own initiative so each pup actually got their own small slice. Nice touch. Would love to try out the breakfast menu in the future, which probably has more intriguing options overall for me but regardless this was a solid win to jumpstart the year. I imagine the airport optics are also way better when you have the luxury of hanging out outside in non-polar vortex weather.

love love lovee this spot!! i recently tried this spot out for lunch and it was amazing! the restaurant has seating both indoors and outdoors. It was packed inside the restaurant and for a very good reason. The food was delicious! I was pleasantly impressed by how well balanced the flavors all were and how seasoned the food was. It was very good without a doubt. I had the spicy buttermilk fried chicken sandwich which was great, it was flavorful and crispy and filling. I tried the steak sandwich as well which was very good too. The service is also very good, the employees are very present and make sure everything is well. There's also planes outside which you can watch take off while you eat which makes it a nice unique experience

Big servings and delicious.

Family style restaurant serving breakfast and lunch. They have also outdoor seatings during nice weather. Although located in Sky Manor Airport which caters pilots , Sky Cafe is open to public serving good food at reasonable price. Service is fast extended by friendly, reliable, courteous and hardworking staff managed by the owner. The place is usually packed and busy specially during weekends. We have been here many times and we keep on coming back to Sky Cafe. See you all there guys.

My first visit here and I was alone, my wife was working. Post NJ MVC for a Real ID and I was looking for a nice breakfast and a generous day! I settled on a cheddar cheese omelette with mortadella, home fries and rye toast. Unlimited coffee refills. My only regret was that my wife did not join me. The food was awesome and bountiful! We will return as a couple next time to watch the small planes land and takeoff . Oh and also enjoy a great breakfast!

This place was great! We brought our 2.5 year old and our server was kind enough to move us upon request to a table next to the window with a great view of the runway. The food was great. Like surprisingly great. Our server was lovely and very attentive. The orange juice tasted fresh squeezed (the best!) and we got a fruit plate to share which had lots of yummy options.

Plane landing

The experience is definitely worth it. The food wasn't that great. The eggs had a fishy taste to them, the toast was stale. Their "freshly squeezed orange juice" tasted like store brought. What we really enjoyed was seeing planes take off and land so close. Made the wait time bearable with 2 under two. Service was great but probably won't be coming back but it was worth coming just for the kids.

Great food. Great service. Can be crowded. No reservations. Beautiful view out the windows, especially if you like planes.

Without a doubt, the best restaurant in NJ is Sky cafe, the staff is very friendly and the food is delicious, we will visit it again soon, great job guys.

Food was excellent but they should use a better reservation system. The parking is TERRIBLE if it's packed. If everyone knew their time it would space out the parking issues. Maybe on a holiday they should have an efficient menu, or something special to help speed up service? As related to reservation system, we got the text that our table was ready and that they hold it for 5 minutes. We started packing up the kids to walk over. By the time we got there, they gave away our reservation. As you can see, they didn't give it the full 5 minutes. I was watching the yelp app constantly as to not lose our place after waiting for 80+ minutes already, with a 4 month old and 2 year old! They quickly found us a new seat and it worked out, but it did make me feel like we were in the wrong. I know there were a ton of people waiting and I'm sure it's stressful, so I still give them a good review. If they had contact email on their website I would have just sent it to them and no reviewed at all. I HIGHLY suggest the bacon stuffed French toast

We had a 7 PM reservation on a Wednesday night, and the place and parking lot were packed! Good sign to start! To begin, I enjoyed the Ruby grapefruit mocktail. Although I'd love trying new and unique cocktails at different establishments, I was in the mood for something light and refreshing and nonalcoholic. This hit just a spot. For food, we started off with the margherita pizza to share. Then, I opted for the crispy, buttermilk chicken sandwich with malt vinegar, potato wedges/fries. It was very delicious. The sandwich was crispy and fresh and the bun looked like it was handcrafted. The malt fries were unique because they had a vinegar powder on them. I've never tasted malt vinegar before, and it was a unique texture. Our waitress was very friendly, but I wish she had been a bit more attentive. She only stopped by to ask us for our drink order, our food order, and to give the check. My friends wanted to order more drinks, but because she did not come around as frequently as we would have liked, they were unable to place another order. I will give her the benefit of the doubt, however, because the restaurant was bustling from start to finish. Overall, very nice setting and meal. Cute decor, including an Anthony Bourdain abstract portrait.

Since writing this review, my husband and I have been back to Tavern 519 three times. We' both had the burgers again and they were outstanding again. On one occasion, my husband ordered the pork chop which he said was the best he's ever had in his life! I ordered the filet mignon which came withbroccoli rabe. It was outstanding.! as always, the service was great. We've been going at least once a month.

First- the decor is open and airy in a rather idyllic setting- perhaps late 18th, early 19th century building? I don't recall the precise date. The southern dining room is well lit and sets betwixt a canal on the West and the Delaware River on the East. Both of which can easily be viewed- along with a public tow-path for the canal. Yes, there is outdoor seating. The wine list is what you would expect, and that is not so say anything denigrating. We went with a 2023 Châteauneuf-du-Pape (Cellier des Princes Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Chasse des Princes) - while a bit young, it was kept well, and went swimmingly with our lunch, nor was it overpriced. The food. Moules Marinières. C'est magnifique! Tender. Flavourful. Fresh (as best as one can be 90 minutes from the sea). The broth was exquisite- not overly salted, and very respectful of the Mussels- very traditional and well executed. I will certainly be back here. In fact, speaking with another well travelled Wine Enthusiast/Foodie semi-local at a wine bar about Golden Pheasant, he shared much the same sentiment. Truly, this encompasses a roadside hidden gem.
