A group of us decided to stop by here for breakfast before going to the air museum just down the road. The good: - Very accommodating staff. - Food was very good diner type food. - 1/2 order options available. - Reasonable prices. The not so good - Confusion when bringing out orders. I was the first to arrive and discovered that the rest of my group was at least 20 minutes behind me. I figured that they wouldn't seat just me, but they got a couple of tables together and I took a seat. They even brought me coffee right away. When the rest of the group arrived, the staff brought over another table as soon as it emptied. They said they didn't want us feeling cramped. They really went out of our way here. We ordered our food and it was kind of a circus when they brought it out. They didn't know who ordered what and even tried to give us some wrong orders. It got to actually be annoying and the only reason for taking away a star. Everyone enjoyed their food and the portions were plenty, even for those that ordered 1/2 size portions. We also appreciated that was even an option. They had no problem splitting the bill. read more

It was my first time at Skyway Cafe and I was impressed. The waitress was super friendly and efficient, the restaurant was super clean, and the food was excellent. I look forward to visiting again. read more

I ordered breakfast, nothing fancy. Bacon, scrambled eggs, hash browns and coffee. The food lacked flavor. Everything seem bland, even the bacon. And the coffee was not good at all. I was very disappointed. The two stars are for the friendly waitress. read more

The food their was really good and super filling! They have a awesome view of the planes taking off and landing. And the waitresses are so nice! I really recommend this place! read more

Staff was great, food came out quickly. Great little breakfast spot. My sister and I loved it

My wife and I can here this past Saturday for a little date. Star 1 is for the food quality. This is traditional diner breakfast food, but boy is it good. I got the bacon spinach omelette topped with h hollandaise sauce. It was really good, however, the feta cheese made the flavors a bit too powerful, but other than that it was great. The hash browns were also very good. My wife ordered the breakfast sandwich which was also pretty good. Nothing amazing but still yummy. We also got one of their sticky buns to share which was huge and also delicious! Star 2 is for the service. The service here was too notch! Our waitress was very helpful and provided great suggestions. She also made sure we always had what we needed and was very pleasant. I got that same feel from all the other workers here as well. Star 3 is for the atmosphere. The atmosphere is my favorite thing about this place! Not only are there model airplanes hanging from the ceiling and pictures of airplanes, but there are also windows all along the north wall that look out over Felts Field. You can literally watch small planes take off and land during your meal. It was just fun! Star 4 is for the food being worth the price. For all three parts of our meal, we spent barely over 30 bucks, and we took tons home as leftovers. Star 5 is for the WOW factor. There isn't really one aspect of this place that I can pinpoint as the WOW factors here. The service, atmosphere, and food all kind of meshed together to make for an awesome experience. I definitely look forward to returning here. read more

Great breakfast food, half portion plenty of food. Friendly service, would definitely recommend!

The country fried steak is awesome! Called in the order to pick up and was blown away by two bags for two lunch specials! So much great food! Definitely worth the price for the quality, quantity and great service! Definitely recommend!! read more

Sadly this used to be our favorite place to eat but we will not be going back. We arrived to have breakfast and I have a medical condition and just had surgery and can't wear a mask. The hostess asked if I had a mask and when I replied I can't wear one because of medical reasons she asked if I could put a napkin over my face to which I replied sure. She hands me a napkin, we walk to the table and she replies " Now that wasn't hard was it."We sit and I ask my husband if I heard that correctly to which he replied yes. I then asked a server if there was a manager on site? She advised that the person who seated us. This was enough for us to know we won't give money to someone who feels as if they need to shame someone when they seat them. Thank you Terry's, right up the road, for never making someone feel so bad. read more

Great atmosphere, especially if you live planes. My guy is a kid in the candy store looking at all the models they have. Service is awesome all so friendly. And the food is great as well. We will definitely go back read more

Best Chicken-Fried Steak around...this is my go-to breakfast order everywhere we travel, and I have never had a better one! The Gravy is its own Superstar! Terrific service, even when they are busy. Great atmosphere, especially when the runways are active... read more

We were so excited to go because of all the great word of mouth we have gotten about Skyway Cafe. My husband ordered Eggs Benny with egg over easy and he had only great things to say! Egg was cooked perfect. I got classic French toast, lots of extra butter and you don't even have to ask. We got the kid, the kids pancake with sausage and the pancake is surprisingly large! loved the sausage. It was great diner good, really no complaints about the food. Wish the hash browns were warmer but we did come at 1pm so maybe that's why they weren't the freshest. The reason for the loss of a star... the Coca-Cola came in a can!! would have been cooler if it was a fountain coke for 3 bucks. If you want diner food this is what's up! read more

Skyway Cafe - French Toast slices and Kids pancake, scrambled eggs and sausage - Cafes Near Me - Spokane, Washington

This restaurant gets one extra star for the huge portions of food, but that's about it. I was there with 2 other people who each got a chicken fried steak meal. Neither of them could even get through half, there was so much food. I went for an omelet and received about as much food as IHOP, maybe a bit less. In comparison, my meal looked like a kids meal. The hash browns were decent, if not a bit bland. Same for the meat filled omelet. It was adequate. Actually, even the coffee was just that - adequate. Now we get to the fun part. I reached for the toast, got some jelly ready, flipped over the toast, and I see parts of it were green. OMG. Almost puked. Couldn't touch the rest of the toast and I can't help but wonder if I should have inspected the rest of the meal before eating. read more

Skyway Cafe - Green toast at the Skywalk Cafe. Fail. - Cafes Near Me - Spokane, Washington

Someone in our party ordered half of a waffle and the waitress asked if he would like eggs and meat with that and he said yes bacon and eggs over medium. He didn't specify how many of those items he would like and when the meal came she brought him two pieces of bacon, two eggs over medium and half of a waffle. The menu (which I have attached) said that this would be $11.50 for the full order and they charged him $20. They charged him an absurd amount for a half order of food for 1 person! This is ridiculous. The amount of money we all paid for the quality of food is not worth it. I would not recommend coming here. I would like to say the staff is kind and seem to have fun at work but their prices and way they charge customers needs to change drastically. read more

This was a pretty busy diner at the airport. The food was just okay but nice people and good atmosphere. If you're looking for a local dinner in the area, it'll do the trick. read more

Of all the places I've tried in and around the Spokane area, Skyway Cafe easily gets my vote for the BEST breakfast around! Regardless of the fact that sitting near the Felts Field runway grants a brilliant view of planes taking off and landing, the food and service are always excellent. Anything on the breakfast menu is guaranteed to satisfy and be quite tasty. If you order one of the gooey and delicious "cinnamon rolls," know that they are truly humongous and could feed a small army. Enjoy! read more

The food is consistently good. The atmosphere is great. The servers are always friendly. They serve you fast even when the place is packed. I bring my employees and customers here on a regular basis. If you want boujee food go to a boujee restaurant. If you want a good home cooked meal like your grandma used to make come to this place! I love this place. read more

Nice waitresses but jeez the prices are steep for medium to small portions. Nice decor and ambiance. But the prices are absurd

If you want comfort food and big portions, you can't miss this place. The full serving size is huge on the chicken fried steak. The service was run of the mill, not bad and not outstanding. We would go back here for breakfast for sure read more

This place rocks great food hot waitresses, the portions are good size all set at nostalgic felts field fun fun fun

We stumbled on this gem when visiting Spokane recently. As pilots, we prize any decent on-airport restaurant, but in our view, Skyway is worth a destination. The cheerful, bright rooms have a aviation vibe and menu offered a full, well-priced complement of breakfast standards. Sticky buns (particularly the walnut variety) are sensational, and pancakes are excellent as well. A phenomenal, family-friendly place where you can watch general aviation planes arrive and depart, and enjoy a classic American breakfast or lunch. read more

I took the family here Saturday morning. Of course, the view of the old airfield is astounding, but the service was also top-notch.

Great service, good food, nice views of the run way. Prices are decent and the food is good portions. read more

The outside is all art deco and the inside is a blast of airplanes. Its a seat yourself kind of diner with plenty of places to sit inside. The Skyway Café has a HUGE menu. I went with my standard first time breakfast of the half order of the corned beef hash, hash browns, scrambled eggs and toast. The hash browns were chunky and delicious. The corned beef hash tasted like the canned variety and the eggs were fluffy. Pretty good amount of food for the half order, wouldn't need the bigger plate. Working our way through their large breakfast menu and the specials! The chicken fried steak special is HUGE! My husband had the half order of the biscuits and gravy, which was huge! This was amazing peppery gravy with sausage bits in it. The bacon was AMAZING!! Best bacon in Spokane. Thick and crispy deliciousness!! Our waitress was super friendly and patient with us. She explained how large the whole orders of food are. We will be back to try more items on their wide variety menu! If nothing else, give me an order of their bacon with a side of bacon. read more

Skyway Cafe - The plane above our table. - Cafes Near Me - Spokane, Washington

The good: Diner style atmosphere with okay food. The bad: bad service with semi-rude attitudes Expensive for what you get. Paid almost $11 for two very thin chicken strips. You have to pay cash unless you spend over a certain amount and the check out lady is your waitress who runs to the counter and pulls change out of her pockets? read more

Great little breakfast, lunch place with good food. Located adjacent to the main runway at Spokane's Felts Field airport this is a fantastic place for the aviation enthusiast to have a really good meal. Excellent service, big portions at a reasonable price. Alway like to dine their and watch the airport activity along with the interesting aviation pictures and memorabilia located throughout the restaurant. read more

This is my son and my dad's favorite spot for breakfast. Having a 4 year old makes this restaurant 10 times better. They do have incredible food and service, but we come for the planes. The whole restaurant is planed out. And my son loves it. While waiting you can watch the planes take off outside and it's a sweet blessing and gives you a second to enjoy the little things. Great spot. read more

I hadn't been here for breakfast in a number of years...but I don't know why...its excellent! Such a unique setting, ambiance and top notch service and food. The ladies here (at the front desk, serving, cooking) are not the youngest staff in town, but they beat the pants off most other restaurant staff in town. It was super busy today for Father's Day and they were running their butts off to take care of customers...I wish other restaurants would take a lesson from this team. Ladies...you rock! The food was fresh, not greasy....and oh so yummy. I forgot about homemade pie! For most items, you just want half. The portions are huge and a great value. They also serve lunch and there is plenty of parking. There is outdoor seating to watch the planes and you should definitely visit the museum, Honor Point. Don't miss out on this hidden gem in Spokane! read more

Had to update my review. Good food and excellent service. Brought the wife and she loved it. We'll definitely be back. The meatlovers scramble was really good read more

Absolutely ridiculous. We literally waited an hour for cold eggs, stiff waffles, and inedible food. You can't microwave that stuff and still have it taste like anything but cardboard! When the manager showed up she couldn't have cared less. Truly UNPROFESSIONAL. She complained about being short staffed but that had NOTHING to do with it. When the food is just sitting there while the waitress wipes down tables and pours water for other guests, being short staffed isn't the problem; stupidity is. Forget this place, go anywhere else if you want to actually eat what you order. read more

I can't just go with a 5 star rating, I have to go with 10 stars. This is number one of my top ten places to eat. As an added bonus it is locally owned. Got kids fascinated with planes or yourself?, then I recommend you check it out. I highly recommend the Mushroom Swiss Burger with a side of Loaded Fries or Loaded Hashbrowns in the Full Size, but I will warn you ahead of time when they say they fill your plate they mean it! read more

I met some friends for breakfast today and was pleasantly surprised. This place is a hidden gem in a great location at a local airport for mostly private aviation types. Staff is top notch and very friendly. Menu is more than extensive with about 6 pages of various offerings. Mostly many breakfast choices in both 1/2 or full order. My 1/2 order of a meaty egg scramble with hash browns and toast proved ample enough to require a small go box and my friends also utilized a large go box combining leftovers from 3 meals. Seating is all at tables & I saw no booths but ample windows facing the airport runway. The art deco building is accompanied with flying related items adorning the inside. And I discovered free wifi as well. All in all, I wish I had tried this place a long time ago and it will be on my 'to go' list for future visits. read more

Great breakfast, huge portions. Excellent service with a fun, retro atmosphere. If you're an aviation buff, you will love watching the small planes coming and going right outside the window. read more

Such a hidden gem in our community. The breakfast is so good! Been here a few times and the value for how much food you get is pretty good. Always bringing home leftovers. Mostly had good service and is a good stop when you check out the airplanes next door. read more

We found the cafe by accident from a search on the phone while passing thru. What a find! After winding through the warehouse district we landed on the gem!! By all means take the detour off of I-90 and stop in. The service, food, atmosphere was outstanding. High recommend the sticky buns! Right off of the airfield. You won't be disappointed. read more

Ordered loaded hash browns- they were a soggy pile of potatoes with totally raw onions & green peppers. My dad got the Monte Cristo and the French toast wasn't deep fried, just soggy bread. The strawberry jam that comes with it was runny like water. My mom got a veggie omelette and said the veggies were completely raw. Never going back again. read more

Always a great place to eat breakfast but for Just the two of us it was $40.00. I do realize prices have gone up but we are senior citizens. I doubt we can afford to eat there again. read more

This cafe is just that, a cafe. Their food quality and level of service should be the gold standard for every other cafe. It is rare that a place gets it this right and this consistent in the Spokane area in my opinion. At the time of writing this they serve breakfast all day. All food I've had here was cooked as expected each and every time. The staff is so friendly it's almost a shock to the system not to get the all too often received disgruntled Spokane style service! I love Spokane and this place is a gem making it better. I've been here a few times but most recently on 1/04/22 and 1/05/22. read more
