Review: I haven't been in for a while, but this visit reminded me why it's still one of my absolute favorite spots. The Hobo soup is just as great as I remembered, and the blackened pork chop was cooked to perfection. You also can't go wrong with the sides--the pickled beets are fantastic, and they truly serve one of the best potato salads around. And don't even get me started on the biscuits; they are incredible. Even if they still don't quite cut the toast right, the food is so good it doesn't even matter. Highly recommended! . Service is incredible !!!still miss Brie and a fun place for ambience even if it is a Steelers place read more

Skyway Jack's - So good went faster then i could get photo!!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Saint Petersburg, Florida

If you are looking for excellent breakfast for a very reasonable price with no extra fluff just great food this is the place for you. This is a classic diner vibe with a menu that has something for everyone. The staff were extremely friendly and our food came out very fast. We wanted to get everything on the menu but settled for trying to be somewhat healthy. The veggie omelet was delicious and our turkey sausage and eggs were simple but hit the spot. The biscuit was a buttery cloud of deliciousness. Highly recommend as a breakfast stop if you're driving to Sarasota or Bradenton from Tampa/St Pete read more

Skyway Jacks is legendary! You know you can always go there and get filled up with a huge menu...whether it be breakfast or lunch. It does get busy there on the weekends and can be a bit crowded inside but it's totally worth the wait. Staff always seems happy and helpful. It's a perfect pit stop on the way to Vintage Marche antique shop across the street! read more

I'm very new to the area and this restaurant was recommended by a couple of people. When I got there, it was super busy, but I was able to get a place at the counter since I was by myself. I ordered the Amy's breakfast smile because it was what I wanted and because I'm Amy. :) I asked for a side of gravy for the biscuit. Huge portions. When I got it, I thought it was tasty, It's eggs and ham, etc. but the GRAVY!! That changed everything. I poured that stuff on the whole plate. It was fantastic. The best gravy I've ever had. The staff was friendly enough to this newbie :) but you could tell it was a local's place. Overall, I will be back!! read more

It's a tiny dive spot in Florida, but the food is always great! Usually a wait because it's so small inside, but a must stop for a unique experience. The menu is very extensive and everything is cooked from scratch. read more

Visiting St Pete, been here 2 days in a row cuz sooo good!!! Bfast and lunch!! All 3 of us loved all 6 entrees! Great service, fun, local atmosphere! read more

Hubs found this place and we stopped here to eat breakfast after leaving our hotel. I got the sense this was a locals place. Excellent food, chaotic fun atmosphere with a bustling staff. Loved the staff shirts embracing their one star review for slicing toast diagonal! May have seen Jack, there was a gregarious man who's tats matched the sports theme memorabilia in the place and he was taking the time to chat with the elderly couple next to us. If I was local I would be a regular here!! read more

I ordered Jack's SOS. It was better than I used to have delivered, because the styrofoam package is only so big. Still the same great taste. The food came almost immediately. Of course, it was all precooked. Even the coffee was great. Last time I was here I was too young for coffee. I'll be turning 70 in a couple of months. The waitstaff was very conscientious, even though I missed her name because I don't hear well anymore! I guess they are Steeler fans because there was all kinds of Steelers memorabilia hanging and displayed. In the words of Arnold: "I'll be back!" read more

Stopped in here on my last day in FL, I have heard great things about the breakfast and had to try! Let's say what I heard was correct- the eggs were perfect and my waffle was amazing. It's definitely your whole in the wall type place, the tables were a bit sticky/not very clean and the waitress kept asking us what we ordered. But overall- yummy! I'd be back! read more

JERK boss!.. Good food and lovely staff. The jerk boss wanted my service dog to be under the table. I have an official service Animal card. Obviously my dog was scared to be under the table, and this jerk boss starting to irritate me in the middle of my meal. He was very rude. read more

Roaches running under our table I won't be going back there. I could understand if they were on the water but not when they are on 34 street

This place is delicious! The menu is huge and all the food is yummy. The hostess Beth was so friendly and helpful as is all of the staff.

Very good service Food Delicious And Lots of choices Ambiance: " old Florida" Enjoy the experience read more

There's parking in this location. The space is very nice and homie. They are very busy every time we come but we have not experienced any wait lines as of yet. The staff is super nice and friendly. I have been here about three times now and I enjoy every time. Ofc is not perfect every time. But more times than not it is pretty good. The food is very nice. I have had a lot of issues finding a good liver and I think I found it. LIVER BREAKFAST- I love the liver here. Even if I am not a fan to the fact that they bread it. I do enjoy the liver flavor here. It is cooked perfectly. The only thing I must say is that my eggs were so raw I was scared of them. The place is nice and the overall experience was pretty good. I will keep coming back. read more

We have been coming here for quite awhile and have always loved it. Today, we fell in love with it. We witnessed humanity and kindness that went above and beyond. There was a customer who needed help eating, and we witnessed multiple members of the team stop to talk with him AND help him eat. Top notch people here!! We love you even more Skyway Jacks!!! read more

Oh my skyway Jax! I can't tell you enough how much I love this place- so much so that I think I've written a review about them before, but I had to give him another one. It's always a friendly atmosphere when you walk into the spot,- a little off the beaten path so well worth the drive. My friend and I had corned beef hash, eggs over medium with potatoes and also the shrimp and grits. I've been craving both of these meals for the last 48 hours, I don't know what got into me! Skyway Jax never disappoints- the grits were cheesy and creamy and melted in my mouth the shrimp season to Southern perfection. I asked for my corned beef hash to be crispy and it was perfect even the eggs perfect temperature at medium. Bottomless cup of coffee, too - sign me up This is my go to breakfast spot in St Pete Number one Nobody better for breakfast or lunch Yum read more

Was charge $10 for two eggs nothing else then lousy service paid the waitress left and was accused of leaving without paying I knew Jack before he died and gave the restaurant to the waitresses whoever owns it now is a greedy lousy thief can't believe the woman had the nerve to come out in the parking lot and accuse me of not paying then said I was banned from coming back like I would ever go back to a restaurant that charged me $10 for two eggs what a ripoff everything's a la carte they wanted $7 for an order of breakfast sausage $3 for a cup of coffee what are rip off spare yourself the experience read more

Skyway Jacks is a solid breakfast spot. If you're an early bird and like to beat the rush, this place opens super early. Service has always been friendly and done with a smile. The last two times we've been they actually have 1/2&1/2 for coffee. Before that it was that reconstituted chemical stuff and I'm not drinking that. First of all it's terrible in my coffee and it's also terrible for you. Kudos for finally get it. People want the real thing in their coffee. I've never had anything but a good breakfast here so I don't understand all the detractors and negative comments. Nor do I find the place dirty like one person said. In the end, I recommend it. read more

Another stapler of the community. Great food and friendly nice atmosphere. We have been coming here for years. The previous owners were great and food also. The new owner had kept the same great food. Pancakes are my favorite. Moist, sweet batter (not to sweet) and no maple syrup that's not watered down to go with them. Today I enjoyed the shrimp and grits. I ordered my shrimps blackened. They were cooked perfectly. It also had tomatoes and mushrooms grilled and full of flavor. I'm a gravy person for grits so would have a liked a little more sauce to it but over all the meal was really good and a lot. So definitely a place I recommend, even if you get the toast and it's not sliced diagonally. Jeannie our waitress was very nice. read more

Just your typical "hey honey" type diner. Breakfast wasn't memorable. Went with pancakes and bacon. Neither were great or terrible. Coffee was average. Service was ok. Nothing at all really stands out... except they celebrate bad reviews on the wall. So maybe I'll be famous after posting this one. If you're up super early, that seems to be the draw. It's the only place open. It's this place or McDonald's. Might as well support local right? read more

I'd never heard of Skyway Jack's but I'm so glad I found them. I think this is my new favorite restaurant ever! I had not expected to see wall-to-wall Steelers decor but I was very pleasantly surprised by that when I walked in. Food was terrific! So happy to see they had Taylor's Pork Roll on the menu; it's so hard to find outside of New Jersey. Eggs were perfectly cooked and I think I ate the best home fries I've ever had. Delicious! The staff was really great. I loved that they all seemed to work so well together. Our primary server was Kimberly B and she is an absolute gem. I loved every aspect of this visit and I hope I get the opportunity to return very soon. read more

Skyway Jack's fixed our breakfast craving and then some. They were pretty jam packed Saturday morning but if you don't mind sitting at the bar, that's first come first serve which we snagged no problem. The menu offers breakfast and lunch. We went with your traditional breakfast; waffles, bacon, eggs and biscuit with every bite tasting homemade. The biscuits were fluffy, fresh and pretty decent in size. The different homemade jams that are easily assessable brought it home for me. Delicious touch. Great atmosphere. Home cooked eats. And attentive service. There's a good chance they're on a wait on the weekends so plan accordingly. read more
