Small town cafes can be some of the best places for no frills basic food and friendly service. Skyline Cafe is precisely that. The food is good, typical fare, but served quickly and portions enough for any appetite. I had the frittata -- skyline's version of it and it was a winner. It came out as more of a scrambled egg than an omelet-style, loaded with the onions, peppers, tomatoes -- and not tiny little cubes, but large chopped pieces, and the crunchy bacon and the cheese topped it off. There was a side of homemade salsa. It was just okay -- nothing spectacular and was not needed because the frittata was flavorful enough on its own. With that said, eating more veggies is not a bad thing, so I ate it anyway. (you're welcome, Mom.) Like most small-town diners, there is a healthy take-out business, and this was no exception. Even early in the morning, there was a stream of people. What I enjoy about places like these is listening to the locals who sit near me, eating, drinking gallons of coffee, and talking about what's happening in their life, at the ranch, their business, or trading hunting stories. What a life. What a great no-frills cafe. read more

Pleasantly surprised. Great food. Nice service. The price was very reasonable. Everyone was so nice

What's not to love? I'm a simple greasy spoon kinda guy. This is the place for me. Don't let the exterior fool you, they are open. Basic breakfast fare but if you are feeling adventurous, do a breakfast burrito. They are smothers in sausage gravy. A nap is in order after you eat one of them. read more

We stopped to revisit memories of Right Brain growing up here. Powell has grown. Staff great! Food typical to a cowboy restaurant. Good, hearty and sustaining. Thanks for the memories Powell! read more

I've reviewed this establishment before. I had sworn this place off and vowed to myself I'd never return upon pain of death. But I went back. I said I wouldn't but here we are. 2022. Here is my tale: Little did my party and I know that when sat down to partake in bacon, eggs, and coffee, we would actually have a healthy helping of regret and distain (which is the worst combination plate of all time). We were a party of four. When we were seated, we were given only two menus. When we politely asked for even one more, we were denied. This was a mild inconvenience, but we navigated through this first-world problem with relative ease. We ordered some minimal, hard-to-screw-up breakfast food: bacon, eggs, pancakes, etc. After placing our order, we were left (for nearly an hour) not with the drinks we ordered, but with the bright and hopeful disposition that today would be the day Skyline would redeem themselves in our eyes. Alas, this is not that story... What was delivered to our table was simply not what we ordered. We thought we were given another party's breakfasts by mistake. So when another in my party made the wait staff aware of the mixup, we were told they were out of some of the items we ordered. When I inquired as to which items were out, my answer came in the form of an eye roll rather than words. We thought it best to perhaps eat what we were given rather than make a big fuss. There was no bacon on our plate but we received sausage instead and rye toast was delivered rather than the sourdough we ordered. As long as our ticket financially reflected these changes, we decided there was no reason to throw another cog in the (already dysfunctional) machine. When I dug into my hash browns, however, I noticed parts were frozen and other parts still were slimy with grease. My sunny-side-up eggs were, well, pale and cloudy in comparison. I was upset but decided not to cry over spilled milk...because they were out of the milk I ordered. In short, did I get what I ordered? No. BUT was the service quick and adequate? Still no. HOWEVER, was the small-town charm and friendliness there to greet us like an old, familiar friend from the moment we walked in the door? Absolutely not. I'm here to reinforce the old adage: "history repeats itself." So, I will draw on history to illiterate my point, bluntly. My party had it worse than the Donner party because they knew what they were eating, their food was supposed to taste like it was frozen, and they got their food in a more timely fashion than we did. read more

Standard cafe. Went mid morning and the place was nearly empty. Nothing special. No complaints.

Great little local cafe. After eating fast food while traveling, this cafe's Cobb salad really hit the spot. My mom ordered the Sante Salad and was equally satisfied. We're planning to come back for breakfast. read more

Great little family owned cafe. If you're looking for a meal that will fill you up, the plates here are just that . I enjoyed a Luis burrito, it was very delicious. The pancakes are ginormous & the server was very personable and quick to get our food out. The restaurant itself is a little outdated but don't let that stop you from enjoying the food. read more

We went here twice. The first time the waitresses were having a rough time and we ended up with sugar free syrup. They were training new people on a Saturday so it was slow. We ate smiley pancakes. They were okay. The eggs and bacon were delicious. We gave it a second chance and it was great. The second time we ordered cinnamon French toast and a side of biscuits & gravy. It was delicious. We got real syrup this time read more

Skyline Cafe - Lincoln loved the French toast & biscuits and gravy - Cafes Near Me - Powell, Wyoming

Great place for breakfast. Had the country Benedict and it was really good. The gravy had a hint of sweetness to it but not overpowering. Really enjoyed it. read more

Often slow service, food was pretty bland. Over heard the kitchen "joking" about spitting in someone food, often you can hear the cooks yelling, swearing and being rude to the serving staff. The older lady cook is the worst when it comes to the yelling and insults. Only game in town so they dont change. Using ketchup bottles for soap in the bathroom is a little cheap. Cold. Owner did remove racist cartoon/text when we asked about it being on the register desk. Fox is the only thing on. read more

It's the only game in town so what the heck. Wiped the dirty table with a bleached smelling cloth and then placed my water glass lid-side down on the table. Decided to just go with tomato juice, they couldn't mess that up. UGH. read more

Nice small town diner. Ate here probably 10 times in a month I was working in the Elk Basin oil field. About what you'd expect. Hash Browns tend to be on the soft side, so ask for them crispy if you like them that way. The Eggs Benedict are wonderful. read more

Slow. And not that great of service. Been watching wait staff stand around on phones. And orders sitting in window. Now almost 30 mins in from time we placed our order still no food. Drinks ran dry 10 mins ago. Still nothing. read more

Great breakfast. We "built our own" and the bacon was perfect, biscuit and gravy was bumpin'. Friendly local hangout.

Decent food. Bad wait staff in morning. An hour to get breakfast with a few patrons. Waitress was playing cards, had to ask for a refill on water after it sat empty for ten minutes, after she looked at it. Was over charged I believe, as it was 40 dollars for breakfast for two. Bad management in my opinion. read more

Great family run restaurant in downtown Powell. The sisters are great company and so is the food! The skyline omelet with pancakes and hash browns will fill you up. read more

During the COVID-19 outbreak, Skyline Cafe provided great delivered food. The fish and chips were hot, and the French fries were cut before cooking, so they were perfect texture and fit in the takeout box without being squished. Plenty of condiments with lemon for the fish along with tartar sauce and ketchup in easy to use containers. Gave us napkins and utensils. The cole slaw came in a large cup. They did not charge extra for delivery, was price you would pay at cafe. Will order again. read more

Look, don't go to this place expecting some sort of culinary genius; it's a small town diner. There's gonna be the locals that sit and drink coffee all day and eyeball strangers. The cooks are just that, cooks, not chefs. But if you're looking for some greasy, down home comfort food, this is the place to stop in. Never had a problem with the wait staff. The decor will step you back 3 decades but like I said, that's to be expected. Now go enjoy a huge stack of pancakes! read more

Had breakfast there recently; new management. While the food was good, it took us an hour to get our meal and it wasn't even busy. The waitress was so rude that if she is there when we go back again, we will not stay. read more

Much better in service and good than a year ago. New management certainly makes a difference. Fridays are Mexican nights with a vast array of Mexican dishes with a West-Tex flavor. The service was friendly and quick. There still needs to be a bit of work on the atmosphere, but it is coming around. read more

Great place. Not many places with a coffee bar anymore. Friendly staff. Food is pretty good. They do need a soda fountain and do refills.

At first glance when I came to Powell, it reminded me of 100 other road house cafes that didn't look fancy, but had great food. Man was I wrong. We all know what "shot and beer" bars are. Well this is a" Coffee and pie place", nothing more. The "buffet" is nasty, unimaginable food, and the menu food is a quicker cooked version of the aforementioned swill. I'm not picky by any means but this place offers nothing I'd ever recommend to anybody. Typical local clientele that eyeball you from the time you enter- till the time you leave. DEPRESSING. read more

Classic small town diner. Portions were a little on the small size, but the wait staff was extremely friendly.

Great for standard diner breakfast fare - french toast, pancakes etc. Other food is not so good though. We only come for breakfast foods now because lunches and dinners have always been a miss. Basically a standard greasy spoon diner that makes a good standard diner style breakfast. On par with a Denny's or something similar to that. read more
