I love coming here for breakfast on a weekend morning. The prices are extremely reasonable and the atmosphere is old-school charm. They offer a number of solid breakfast choices ranging from omlets to waffles and pancakes. The waitstaff are always friendly and prompt. read more

Love it here.... haven't had a bad meal yet. Waitresses are very friendly. My husband loves the breakfast here....I tell him it is a treat but can't become a habit read more

I hate to rate this high because others will find out how great this cafe really is. We went there with a party of 10 and they were very accommodating. The server was fun and friendly. The food came out hot and plentiful. The chicken fired steak filled a large plate (not sure if anyone finished it without taking it home). Even though the cafe is relatively small they have used the space well and it seemed easy to hold conversations even though the space is limited. After breakfast we were able to step outside and view small private planes taking off and landing. read more

Love this diner. Unfortunately I keep forgetting about it. Its off the the main streets a bit but worth it. Ill have to get a sticker or something for my rig to remind me. Nice people, good service, fair prices. read more

Brining the kids to look at the airplane memorabilia and having the chance to see planes land and take off is only one perk! Skyway is a family favorite. Food is great, service is fast, and the restaurant is for all ages read more

Great service. Quick even when busy. Went and had breakfast with my son there yesterday. He really enjoyed his bacon omelette. Huge portion of hash browns. His toast was burnt and he didn't eat that. I ordered the French toast. It could have used a bit more flavor. I mostly tasted the egg batter. 4 stars for the service and my sons food! Maybe I'm just a picky French toast patron. read more

I have enjoyed eating here in the past, but will never step foot in this establishment again. The servers are just plain rude - If I want attitude, I will go to a truck stop. read more

Absolutely fantastic breakfast! Had a great selection, great service, and the food was great! My daughters and nieces had a wonderful time too, so it's great for kids! Will definitely be back! read more

The country fried steak reminded me of home! I loved all the model airplanes and memorabilia. Definitely will be coming back to this little gem. read more

This place is a pleasant change from chain restaurants. Sure, it's just a diner, but the food is tasty and the prices are quite attractive and the servers are pleasant. In addition, the airplane ambiance is great. We were in town for a few days and ended up having a couple of breakfasts and a lunch here. I'd say that, on average, breakfast is better than lunch, but both were good and practically everything on the menu is less than $10. Although everything was good, the spinach, feta and mushroom omelet is super. read more

In town for training and a friend suggested we go to lunch here. Went for lunch around 11:45 and most tables were full. Good sign for me. We were able to fit our large group in. Menu was classic diner food, breakfast, burgers, and some larger meals. Had a good selection and great special for lunch. I was feeling hungry so I ordered the chicken fried steak. Lots of good food!!! Two full plates!!! Also home baked cobbler included for dessert!!! Staff was very friendly and was a nice atmosphere!!! Only downside was the bathrooms were being remodeled, had to use a trailer outside. read more

Good hearty food. Location is the best. My toddler son loves this "Planes" theme restaurant and the view out to the muni airport with small planes landing and taking off. Good service. read more

I had a horrible experience for the first time at this place and I will never go back. Our waitress was replaced by another one and she was very rude. My son was still eating and she asked us how much longer we were going to be. Then she got mad because he was playing with the jelly packets and said that it was food and needed to now be thrown out. He's 3 and what kid hasn't?! I called and talked to a manager, Sandy, who was trying to justify the waitress asking us how much longer. She told me that there was a large group waiting for 20 minutes, like that was my problem. read more

Best breakfast in town by far! And I love sitting by the window watching the planes come and go. I got chicken fried steak and it came with hashbrowns 2 eggs, and toast. The steak was huge and there was at least a whole potato there. Could have easily shared it between 3 people. read more

Very enjoyable breakfast with a great view. There was more than enough food. Our server was friendly and took good care of us. We had a view of the runway and airport activity out of our window. read more

Very very good breakfast option in spokane. very large portions. The chicken fried steak breakfast could easily feed 2 people. Very friendly service. read more

Best breakfast in Spokane. Family atmosphere right next to the runway at felts field.

Went here for breakfast again today, always great! There is nothing like home cooked food to warm your heart. Great atmosphere, especially if you are into aviation, but even if you are not this hidden gem is great! I have never had a bad experience or bad food here, the staff is great and the food is better. If you go here get a slice of their homemade pie, or a freshly baked cinnamon roll, both amazing choices! read more

I have brought my friends and family here for several years, and despite truck stop, style service, as a model, I have tried to recommended the cafe because I think its historically significant and thusly important to the community. It has providedan opportunity for old fly boys to reminisce and kids to become entrusted as the keepers of the stories of there elders. Those recommendations however have, on Sunday morning ended. Fridays a couple a month for three years, I have been bringing my son and he has loved it. The service and situation, which transpired has forever ruined that restaurant for me. My nephew and niece were awaiting us as we arrived and we were immediately offered coffee which is were the friendly service ended. As we declined we were offered no other opportunity to get any other beverages, it was coffee or nothing. When we asked for a drink for the kiddo it seemed A little more time than it took our server to roll her eyes, she had basically checked out. So I asked what the special was, and it was the same special they always have. Enough chicken fried steak for a small tribe with all the trimmings, or the. Most expensive item Less two dollars. As it was huge. I recommended my nephew tried the cinnamon roll, because I had tried it before and it was good. WAS good, was! Let's talk further about the breakfast pastry and then we will get back to the service. First of all it came out smaller than normal like it had fallen, but it wasn't rolled at all, it was essentially just a large wad of unleavened white dough. There was no Cinnamon and it wasn't rolled. the center was thusly not cooked all the way. The recipe or Ingredient's. Might not have changed, but whomever was making them must have either A.) Moved on or B.) Quit trying. When I told the waitress that he didn't like it and asked if we could just pay for 1\2 of it since he couldn't eat the part that was uncooked, and gross she promptly, got her manager. This is where truck stop waitress service model comes Into play the boss lady told me, once again how few people had complained (no one ever) about the "rolls" she further told me that " you don't get to just try something new on the menu and just pay what you'd like for things and if I couldn't afford to try something new I should have ordered a half order." I told her since that wasn't a cinnamon roll it didn't meet the ci a o. Roll expectation. I walked up to the counter a moment later and told her that I had worked as a chef and restaurant manager for 15 years and it wasn't good form to yell at or Insult a guest. She reminded me of my status on the AHole list and tore up the bill In my hand. She started yelling at me and told the people at my table to leave, ripped there guest check up and told me I was an as$h@1e and that I should never come back. So she swore In front of my toddler and niece, nephew, my mother and my wife and about fifty other patrons. I asked her why she spilled all over my niece as she was yanking back her food, she told me to get out or she would call the police. So she took a 95.00 loss just to keep from writing off $2.12 worth of uncooked dough. With decisions like that it won't be long until someone else is verbally abused by this Woman. Oh and by the way I looked at an old picture of the cinnamon rolls they served there 2 years ago and they are totally different now, and you mam are only deluding yourself. There's a lot of choices for breakfasts in this town and the food and terribleness we experienced will lead me to not only never come back but I will do you one better and just wait til you run it into the ground and become a regular of the next owner. I suggested that icing or frosting might be popular, I was told that they In 72 years have never, Never changed the recipe and not one person. Had prior to us had anything bad to say about it. read more

We love watching the planes and helicopters coming and going. Hubby is a veteran and he too enjoys both the activities and the food. His delight is to identify the different aircraft. The food is cafe style and proportions are generous. The cinnamon rolls are HUGE and tasty. This place does have seniors as regular patrons as we remember the good old days. A place that rates as a must do at least one time. They close about 2pm and breakfast is served during business hours. read more

My kids love to go here and see all of the model air planes while we eat some of the best breakfast we have ever had.

A girl took my food. The owner, also the person who gave us the check, got way out of line when we asked for a discount on a "cinnamon roll." It was not a cinnamon roll. It had no frosting, no cinnamon, and tasted terrible according to seven of us. My uncle simply asked for half off of the 5.50 it cost. She snapped. She started talking about how he was rude from the moment we got there, it's not okay to ask for a discount. She kicked us all out. 7 of us didn't even say anything, we didn't even have a chance with her. As she kicked us all out, she took our food. The majority of people were about halfway done. I had taken three bites, while another person had only started eating their food. She ripped up the bills and told us to leave before she calls the cops. Sandy, if you're reading this, I was the blonde, 13 year old girl, who you spilled hash browns on. DON'T GO HERE!!!! I'm also feeling sick from there gross craft cheese single in the crossiant sandwich. read more

Went for breakfast today, my GF ordered the #2 with french toast instead of pancakes, trhe waitress brought pancakes anyway. My GF told her she ordered french toast and the waitress said she didn't but would bring out the french toast. I ordered Eggs benedict with hash browns, I specified extra crispy on the hash browns they came out extra soggy and barely warm. The eggs and the sausage patties we ordered were barely warm also. Leads me to believe they keep everything in the back precooked. Should have just visited a buffet. This place is over rated. The waitress was semi rude, didnt offer a refill on our iced tea until we were ready to leave. Really tired of trying to order things in spokane the way I want them and just getting sloppily cooked , barely warm overpriced food with terrible to mediocre service. We won't be back. read more

Great stop for a quick bite and some local history (though the staff is just as friendly if you want to take your time with your food and the sights)...always a must-do when hitting Spokane! read more

Had heard of this place before, but had never been there, so my sister suggested it for a try. Got there and the place was loud and busy. I was expecting a small quaint little place for some reason. It was fairly large and like I said bustling. Upon looking at the extensive menu, it took some time to find what it was we wanted. Two waitresses came by to offer help. One gave her first time recommendations which was nice. Upon ordering I got the denver omelette which came with toast and hash browns. MY sister got the biscuits and gravy. Another really nice option is you can get almost all the orders either a full size, or a half size, which we thought was cool, so depending how hungry you were. This can get rather loud as I mentioned, esp. when busy, so keep that in mind. Draws maybe generally an older crowd, but there were some younger people too. Plus you are right at the Airport ( Felts Field) here too so you can see some planes taking off. It is a bit out of the way, though not really that bad. I have to say that was one of the best denver omeletes I have ever had. My sister loved her biscuits and gravy too. Servie was both helpful and friendly. Will go back for sure. read more

The last six months the service has been lacking. Waitress attitude. I seldom go in anymore due to this issue. Food still top notch but I'm going to go somewhere where someone actually greets you, checks back on you, refills drinks etc. Anymore all you get here is "what do you want" & "here's the check". read more

Have only eaten breakfast here but each time has been the best experience. Food, service and atmosphere are great. The chicken fried steak breakfast is amazing and hash browns are the best I have ever had. Wife has tried several different omelets and she says they're all delicious. Large portions too. read more

No doubt their breakfast meals are outstanding. I get that it's a cool place to eat but $8 burgers with a tiny bag of chips? Fries should come with it, not an additional $1.50. The burgers are just ok and average tasting, nothing special, NOT worth their asking price, especially without fries. Terry's diner nearby has similar burgers, similar price with fries. Owners must of jacked up their profit margins on burger meals to compensate for the additional food cost with the large portions for their breakfast meaqls. Stick with the breakfast menu if you go. read more

The Skyway Café is located on the runway at the private felts field. The best meal they serve is breakfast and the portions are huge. Nothing beats watching small planes and helicopters land and take off while you enjoy your heaping mound of hash browns. This place receives 4 stars from me only because service can be very slow (the place is usually packed for weekend breakfast). This is a great place to take friends/ family for a relaxing Sunday brunch. The décor is aircraft themed, model planes hang from the ceiling and plane art hangs throughout. I highly recommend this fun location. read more

I visited Skyway yesterday morning for mine and my husbands wedding anniversary breakfast , I was VERY VERY dissipointed by how rude our waiter was . If I remember correctly her name was Terry . She initially brought us coffee, which took forever , then my husband politely asked for more ...which he never got. She was very rude when I asked her a simple question about the menu. By the time we got our food it was freezing cold so I just said forget it and we left... Her additue reminded me of my 12 year old which was horrible and Un called for, leave that at home. I noticed quickly that we were not the only ones upset by her service and I do believe you are loosing valuable customers . typically my husband and I visit skyway on a regular basis . However , never again will we be stepping foot through your door and I will be sure that none of my family does either . I have contacted the inlander and will be writing an article in there as well. read more

In Spokane for a short time and googles airport cages, I've had great luck in the past with this venue. Breakfast was great, I had the Benedict because I like a good biscuits & gravy and it did not disappoint. Portions are generous and half portions are offered. Prices are affordable the place is friendly and clean. read more

I have been coming in for breakfast for at least 12 years. The last two times I have been in (both times with my daughter and toddler grandson) we were treated just horriable!! I was told both times we could not sit were we wanted to ( after sitting down we were told to move both times). I asked if we could have a high chair and the waitress pointed to were they store the high chairs and stated to me I would need to "go get it myself". I work in the service industry myself and never ever would I do this!! We got up and walked out without ordering. The blonde waitress was the one that helped us both times. I will not go back until she is gone!! The food and the atmosphere is fantastic, service is highly lacking! I am not shocked to see others posting with the same issues. read more

I live 10 minutes away and they lost me and my family as customers. Food turned very bad and there is a waitress there that is driving business away. I order a half sandwich and got charged a full and she wouldn't change it. Toast was very old for use on lunch sandwiches, and WOW very rude, nasty. Seems like you are brothering her having breakfast/ lunch there. Over Priced- Management needs to get rid of her fast. read more

The waitress gave us terrible service because she was too busy talking to the regulars and counting her tips. She never brought us the toast that we ordered, and at one point we heard her ask the cook if he had made a mistake because the toast had been sitting in the window for over 10 minutes. When I paid for my breakfast she told me that she had printed the wrong receipt, but made sure that I knew that I could still leave a tip. I did not leave a tip and I wrote on the receipt NO TOAST!! I will not be returning to the Skyway Cafe. read more
