Met a coworker for breakfast. The diner was pretty empty when we arrived early on a weekday. Space has vintage diner vibes. The server was attentive and brought menus and coffee quickly. After ordering our food also came out very quickly. The food was good and definitely met my coworkers food expectations and mine. read more

My coworker and I head over here every now and then because you can get breakfast for lunch and we love that. We both got omelettes. Mine was mushroom and cheese, with a side of bacon, and it comes with home fries and I got rye toast as well. Their coffee is delicious and hot! You can even buy their coffee! Super friendly and fast service. The place is clean and so nicely decorated. read more

Craving excellent breakfast food? Look no further cause this diner is amazing. The parking is very easy due to having a parking lot. This diner is very popular so the parking lot may get full fast. The diner has a warm atmosphere and the staff are very friendly. I ordered the Skyline Special which consists of over easy eggs, sausage, and breakfast potatoes. I definitely have to eat it with Tabasco hot sauce. The white bread comes with a lot of butter which makes the toast super tasty. This special also comes with a small orange juice or coffee which is nice. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to eat breakfast food around the Albany Area. read more

Skyline Diner - Skyline Special - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Rensselaer, New York

Outstanding food and service. Breakfast available all day. Coffee to die for. Outstanding place for breakfast or lunch

I came here with my girlfriend for breakfast while we were visiting Albany. We found this diner and decided to give it a try! The place was pretty packed and busy, but we were seating very quickly. The staff was very nice, and attentive. Food came out super quick. Their pancakes, corn beef hash, and sausages were amazing! My girl ordered the French toast which she loved aswell! This will be our go to diner every time we're in that area! 10/10 recommend read more

Stopped for breakfast this morning and was not disappointed. Big mugs of coffee that was fresh and strong. Home fries were well done and NOT greasy like so many other diners. Good portions and great taste. Highly recommend. Our server, Heidi, was a hoot. So much personality and so good at her job. Go get breakfast! read more

Amazing breakfast diner food! Love it here! Easy online ordering and pickup! Definitely on my list of a repeat customer!

Loved Skyline Diner. LOVed! Whether it was the murals on the outside, deliciously seasoned food plates, comfortable stylish seats and enjoyable interior: all was really great! Inside the diner the theme of red and black is continued from the outside and it elicits an urban and tough New York State atmosphere, mixed with the fun times of a classic 1950s dining experience. You are greeted upon entering. Everyone is having a blast. The bar was long and could easily fit 20 people, while the tables were also numerous and advantageous for people just rolling in off the highway. In the back - through the swinging doors - the kitchen was sizzling and looked truly squeaky clean and very professional. There were a ton of options to customize your plates and entrees. The menu was easily readable and comfortable to browse and look at. All the waitress team's staff were very helpful, easy going (not pushy) and happy - it was a very enjoyable dining experience being/eating in Skyline Diner. There are tables with views of the Albany, NY skyline and highways outside all throughout the diner. Cushioned seats. Wrapped silverware. My Chicken sandwich cutlet was delectable. It was seasoned to perfection, garnished and whoever works the kitchen in the back knows how to plate a nice dish, professionally with culinary style! My food was prepared quickly and there were zero - NO - mistakes made. My tastebuds were very happy. Will come back here, soon. Delicious Chicken Sando and fresh fries and pickles. It was wonderful!

Skyline Diner - Grilled Chicken Sandwich (seasoned to perfection) served with fries & slaw - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Rensselaer, New York

Amazing staff and great service. Good tastes good too! Normally I do take out but I'm never disappointed. Great spot!

This diner is almost* perfect in every way. The decor, aesthetic and atmosphere is "classic diner." The menu is a classic diner menu, with all the vast number of options you expect. The food we ordered was wonderful - fresh, great quality, perfectly prepared, no corners cut. The server was attentive, patient and all around lovely. I wish I remembered her name. (She's a former softball player, hth) We ordered lunch items, burgers and sandwiches. We were very happy with our meals. It was such an oppressively hot mid-July day when we found well-reviewed Skyline and figured out it was a mere 8 minute drive from our location (via google search.) This lunch was such a delicious, relaxing, air-conditioned oasis event for us. * I noticed Smucker's single-serve plastic tubs of pancake syrup in one of the banner images on this Yelp page. We didn't order breakfast items when we dined here, but I encourage Skyline to consider using real Maple syrup (NY State is a big grower/producer) instead of the HFCS + caramel coloring garbage. read more

Perfect diner experience. Plenty of parking and seats, friendly wait staff, sparkling clean and fun decor - love the colored concrete floors and wall pictures. Big menu with lots of options. Perfectly cooked eggs, great diner sausage. Pancakes just a tad dry/flat. Need a little fluffing up and less of a crisp top. But still very good. Great value too. read more

The staff at the front were friendly and attentive as soon as you walk. It was a Saturday more so the place was packed and noisy. Breakfast here was good! Western sandwhiches with cheese were tasty. The most annoying part is both sandwiches (we ordered two) had eggshell in them. Ughh. Maybe just an off day, so I will likely try it again. read more

We were seated right away (2adults, 2 babies). Our waitress was wonderful both pleasant, helpful and good sense of humor. We had turkey club sandwiches with cream of broccoli soup. They were both excellent. The soup was light, creamy and seasoned well. The sandwich was made with tender turkey, crispy bacon and a good amount of lettuce and tomato. The restaurant was very clean. We would definitely go back there when traveling through the Albany area. read more

Great service, the gentleman who waited on us was very attentive! The food was done as ordered and very tasty!

At one time a decent diner ....that being said our most recent visit the hostess was rude the waitress was preoccupied with some kind of drama with the other staff food tasted off and within about 10 minutes both of us were sick both with stomach issues that lasted for a few days and this was eggs and breakfast never going there again ! read more

My wife and I are regular customers at the Skyline Diner, we dine with them, more than once a week, as many as five (5) times, some weeks! Mostly lunchtime customers, we have tried more than half the items on the menu and we have never been disappointed! The only thing better than the food, are the people! From servers to management, no business does it better! read more

What a sweet place to stumble upon. The barley beef soup and Greek wrap were amazing. The potato salad was not my liking. read more

Only diner ever heard of with bankers hrs and closed on Sundays, a day when a lot of people go after church !

Been by this place a few hundred times and never stopped until today. I should of kept going, not worth it. Got seated promptly and the server was there to take my order within 5 minutes so that's the good part. Ordered a basic ham and cheese omlet with and English muffin. The omlet was off with its flavor, I don't know if it was the ham they used or there was something on the grill it picked up. Below average breakfast. read more

I love skyline! Really reasonably priced and they have great old-school diner food. Their hours are limited - no dinner, closed Sundays - so be sure to stop by when they're open. I also like doing a pickup order from here, with most orders being prepped and ready in under 15 minutes which is really useful for short lunch breaks. read more

Food is always good, affordable, and the service is great. I never leave unsatisfied.

The wife and I are (were) regulars at the Skyline and are exorbitant tippers. Today when we went in for lunch we were given a table near the toilet where a parade of users gifted us with the delightful odor of urinal cakes every time the men's room door opened. Meanwhile the lady across the aisle was feeding her dog at the table. I wish I was making this up, but I'm not. The food's fine for a diner and the service is adequate but I can't see going back. read more

Skyline Diner - Belgian Waffle with sausage. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Rensselaer, New York

See all

We have found our diner! We have had consistently good food at this diner. Our picky toddler loves their French toast, so that's a win right there. He (and I) also like their Belgium waffles- nice and crispy, and unlike so many other diners, you aren't charged $10 for one waffle! As someone who is allergic to eggs, options for breakfast are limited and I always end up paying $10 for a waffle that doesn't come with sides, so the reasonable price on those is fantastic! The home fries were good, but their crispy bacon was delicious. My husband says their omelettes are good as well. read more

Great diner! The menu is large and varied so finding something you like shouldn't be a problem. Hefty portions of well prepared food.The diner is large and very well decorated. Staff is very friendly and efficient. Very quick service, too! read more

Great food and service. Always get the orders correct. Food is always hot and fresh. Breakfast is amazing, but can't complain about their lunch menu either. Never had a bad meal from Skyline read more

Woohoo! Another great diner on my diners list! This is a great place to stop before taking the train at Amtrak, and we have been coming here for a while. Very reasonable price for the food. Salad is around $7 - $8 and comes with soup. My friend got Chicken Caesar Salad and there were lots of meat in it. My Reuben sandwich was great too. We'd love to come back again and try others on their menu. Love this place! read more

Honestly the best place for breakfast in the area i just hate that they close so early i can't remember what sandwich i had it was kind of like a monte cristo with an egg Benedict it was very good they also have a handful of ice coffee flavors good prices too i enjoyed the diner read more

The food was fresh and amazing. The service was quick and fast with the food coming out in 2-10 minutes after seated Which was fast. I honestly totally think this is worth it for a nice breakfast brunch luck or dinner. read more

Standard diner fair done well. Service was quick and friendly. I had an omelette and coffee. The eggs were well prepared if slightly bland. I find diners usually don't season their eggs, so this is normal. Excellent home fries. Well seasoned, browned, and crispy on the edges. Coffee was good but not great. Again exactly what I would expect from a good diner. This might be my go-to now that the Glenmont diner is closed. read more

Like most diners in the area. Dark red exterior draws your attention. Lunch menu was the normal diner menu. Liv order the The Italian Stallion and I orders a Garden Salad with a scoop of tuna salad. Livs sandwich included grilled ham, salami, and pepperoni with Mozzarella cheese on Rye bread with fries on the side. She liked it although was a bit greasy. My salad was a salad. We were seated quickly and the staff was friendly. Food was super quick with no wait. I always ask, would we come back? Well, if we were in the area and needed something quick other than fast food. read more

Food is always good and fresh, orders always come out just right service is plateaus good and the atmosphere is very comfortable

I'm making it my mission to try my staple breakfast at every diner in the area: scrambled eggs (well; not runny or watery), bacon or home fries, and pancakes. I've had breakfast here many times so you know it's always good. But to make it official: Eggs: perfectly cooked the way I like Bacon: crispy yet doesn't taste burned Pancakes: the fluffy buttermilk ones that you always want from a diner. They're so good you almost don't need to add syrup. read more
