Total sleeper. Like like a regular small town cafe but food is top notch. Tiny salad bar is outstanding with homemade delights. Soup of the day? We had crab chowder but it was more like a bisque and had real crab. The special was perfect, prime rib sandwich. Eat here. read more

Locals and visitors alike will love the Skyline! Old school hearty breakfast!

Blueberry pancakes to die for. The only drawback - we planned to spend the day hiking on a nearby trail, we thought we would just eat a hearty meal and be on our way. We felt so full and happy after eating we just wanted to nap the rest of the day. Next time I'll know - hike first! read more

We loved our visit to the Skyline Cafe in Mena. Food was great - we had chili; burgers, salad bars, soup (homemade and delicious). Waitresses are fun and deliver great service. I am sure they will get another visit before we leave on Saturday. read more

Breakfast so good I talked about it all day. The pancakes are out of this world fabulous and so are the biscuits and gravy. VERY good prices. Two adults for 14!! The service is impeccable and the place is just adorable. It was filled with regulars so you know it's good. read more

I have never had a negative experience while eating here. The staff is attentive and helpful, the food is cooked to order and the atmosphere is always friendly. The Skyline Café is the best café in Mena, AR. Hands down! They make awesome patty melts! read more

Very good breakfast. Wife and I both had the pancakes which were delectable with melted butter. Also tried biscuits and gravy (gravy has chunks of sausage in it)-yummy and very hearty. Bacon and eggs were spot on as were the hash browns. Will definitely return. Like other reviews say, this place only takes cash or check. read more

Don't let the outside or inside of this place detour you from eating here. They have the best home cooking breakfast, friendly service and good prices. But don't forget to bring cash to pay with. read more

What a find. Servers never letting your coffee cup get low and made to order breakfast. Omelets, pancakes and eggs to order and fluffy biscuits with gravy (heaven). Don't get in a big hurry; sit back and drink in all the other tables. It appears to have a big draw with transient motorcycle riders - a lot on hand this AM. of course Bikes, Blues & BBQ is this weekend in Fayetteville. read more

Wonderful atmosphere and great food. Sat next to a very nice couple and had a good chat.

My wife and I stopped in Mena for a weekend and visited this place twice. Both the lunch and breakfast was tasty and the staff was friendly. We were entertained by the local advertisements on the TV and would eat again if we find ourselves back in Mena. read more

Well the first problem was our waitress was kind of rude and surly. We constantly had to ask for refills on our coffee. The food was pretty good but it took about 45 minutes to get it. read more

Great place for breakfast. We stopped in on our way down from the Talimena Byway and we're glad we did. Biscuits were light and fluffy. Omelette was great. Fast service. Waitress on roller skates was fun to watch. read more

I used to come here in High School. I love the servers and the food so much! I wish I still lived in Mena. Keep up the good work and service! read more

Eggs cooked correctly-check. Biscuits and gravy done perfectly-check. Bacon crispy and delicious-check. Grits cooked just like mom-check. Service with a smile-check. Skyline checks all the boxes. You gotta try this place as it is OUTSTANDING!!! read more

Saturday motorcycle ride. Mid 50's and clear. Stopped in Mena at the Skyline Cafe for shrimp and grits. Hit the spot? Heck yeah!

Great home cooked breakfast food! The place was packed and the service was pretty good. Would definitely visit again if we are ever back in Mena. Can't go wrong with this popular breakfast place. read more

A historical favorite. One of Mena's oldest businesses, and the quality of good old fashioned cooking and service is still there. The place is always packed with customers, so plan to be there early! read more

The Skyline Cafe has never disappointed me when I am hungry. Between the great help and delicious food, and the general clientele there is no doubt in my mind that this restaurant deserves a 5 star rating. read more

We stop here for lunch at least a couple times a month. The food is fantastic. It's a great value for your money. Try the Ruben. I have never found one I like better. read more

Good little cafe right off Talamena dr. Open face roast beef was really good. Nice little salad bar with all the right stuff. Very friendly experience. read more

Exactly what you would expect from a small diner: food, atmosphere, etc. We showed up at 1:55 and they closed at 2:00. They didn't turn us away or act like we were a burden.. they were friendly and cooked us some DELICIOUS burgers. They don't accept cards though, bring cash. We would definitely stop by if we were in this area again. read more

So many memories from our Changing of Colors Rally...the biggest being how all the local merchants were "ready" for the thousands who rode into town on their motorcycles. Signs everywhere reading WELCOME CMA. The Skyline Cafe was prepared for their increased business with friendly service and delicious home cooking. The locals offered to share their table to help accommodate seating! It was a wonderful experience and I can't wait to return! Thank y'all for your graciousness and hospitality. read more

Excellent fast and efficient service for our group of 12. Especially since we were walk ins at 12:15 pm when they already had a nice crowd.

The house omelet is the best omelet i have ever eaten. The Bisquits are delicious, huge, and fluffy.

Best Food in Mena! Their French Dip is amazing! It has the perfect taste, and comes with amazing au jus. The pancakes are also amazing, and they serve breakfast from open till close. They open somewhere around 5 am, and I have ordered a French Dip at 6:30 before...it's that good! Their breakfast is better overall than any other restaurant I have eaten at. They also have great burgers. The service is also excellent, with great waitresses that get you whatever you need, and are very friendly also. It is in the center of Mena, on Main Street, so it is a popular place to eat breakfast and lunch. Great restaurant! read more

Found this great cafe while on vacation in Mena. Ate breakfast every morning before making our motorcycle rides to see all the beautiful country in the area. Miss Tammy has to be without a doubt the best waitress we have ever had! Food was great, service excellent and very reasonable prices. Looking forward to visiting again on our next Arkanasa adventure. A must visit for anyone in the Mena area. Sincerely The Richard (3 eggs) Foley and Ronnie (no grits please) families. read more

The staff is always nice the food is fast but it's always kind of blah to me. Once I was going to order something and the waitress told me that was too much. I was going to order a tall stack of pancakes and she told me I needed a short stack. I felt embarrassed so that's what I ordered and I left still hungry. I will eat there again I am sure. read more

Skyline is most awesome. 'Nuff said. No, they don't wear roller skates- it just they move fast enough it seems like it

We visited Mena while traveling on our honeymoon. This is a small local eatery with a true home town atmosphere. It's busy and the servers are attentive. Our meal took a bit too long to arrive but the waitress was very apologetic. The meal was pretty good. We didn't like the potato cakes though. Not what we were expecting. The biscuits are great though. All in all it's a pretty good place to eat. read more

Wife and I enjoyed excellent country breakfasts. My biscuit & sausage gravy were delicious and plentiful. One biscuit filled the plate. As good as any I have ever had, including Paris Coffee Shop in Fort Worth. Service as good as it gets. read more

My Husband and I went here for breakfast because it seemed to have good reviews. I told my Husband that nobody can mess up breakfast. Well, it was mediocre. He ordered scrambled eggs, toast, hash browns and bacon. He said the eggs were hard and looked and tasted like McDonalds eggs. Bacon was crisp and hash browns were decent. What really ticked him off is when the waitress finally came back to check on us, he asked for a water refill. She took his glass and went to the back and returned about 5 minutes later with a refill, only after he watched her fix a few other drinks, including one for herself... and didn't seem to be in any hurry. We left and he ended up going across the way to a gas station to get one of their biscuits, if that tells you anything. We can't stand wasting time and money going to a place with such good reviews only to be disappointed. read more

Everything tastes like... bacon. Which is ok, I guess, if you don't want your eggs to taste like eggs, your pancakes to taste like pancakes, and anything else you could want to taste like itself. This could be avioded if the grill were separated into stations. Egg here, hashbrowns there, etc. This everything-tasting-like-bacon thing is a big BIG problem if you don't eat pork product in any form - and there's quite a few of us in town who do not do that whether it's being a vegitarian or for religious reasons. read more

Mom and Pop restaurant at it's finest. The food is great. Try their wonderful salad bar, or go for a giant hamburger. The French Dips are made with slow cooked roast beef and home made au jus. Open face roast beef is moist and flavorful. You can't go wrong with breakfast, whether it's pancakes, eggs, or french toast. Bacon is cooked to order and actually comes out as ordered. Ask about the specials, they are always good. And Sassy waitresses! I laugh every time I go in. If you visit Mena don't forget to stop here. One word of advice, bring cash. They don't take debit or credit. read more
