Skyway Cafe: Reviews & Ratings
I heard this place just burned down. I really really hope they will rebuild, we love this place for breakfast and lunch. Idk if you could ever capture the original vibe. But, it was packed every time we went. It's a local favorite by so many. Praying everything is ok.
What a cozy spot! I almost always get Eggs Benedict for brunch and they served a delicious one! Very generous portion and the hollandaise was lovely. Eggs were cooked to perfection. The cafe is right next to the Spokane airport. We got great views of planes coming and going. The decor inside is also very well done and filled with lots of pictures, planes and other decor. Great service, great coffee, great food, and great ambiance!
I have gone to this place since I was a kid, such a fun location and a blast watching the planes land and take off. Portions are HUGE!
I have so many amazing memories with my grandfather here. there are many amazing things about the history and design of the restaurant itself, so many wonderful models of planes on the wall and ceiling each with a unique story. You will be treated as if you have been a regular guest even if it is your first time going, the servers are more than kind. Not to mention the amazing food, I highly suggest the California Benedict!
LOVE THIS PLACE! When you step through the door you're transported back to the '60s. If you're and airplane nut it is the spot for you. You can enjoy a HUGE cinnamon roll (and it tastes great too) while you watch the planes at Felts Field arrive and depart. Servings are big and flavors are good too. The staff is super friendly. Be aware it does get busy but have a little patience and it'll be rewarded. We've been going for years and take visiting friends there. Too cool!!
Definitely a fun little experience. Fun atmosphere for kids and adults alike! Can watch planes take off and land while you eat and visit. Food was a standard diner fare, nothing exceptional, but good. Worth at least one visit.
For our tastes this is a 5 star place. We have been coming here for decades, and it would be more if we lived closer. It's so neat right on the Felts Fld airstrip. They hire the best servers! Always friendly and very helpful, you never feel like you aren't important to them. Personally, I love the option for a half order, and even the half is way enough for a normal appetite. It's regular diner food, but the short order cooks are some of the best our area has to offer. Every aspect of this cute place is top notch.
This is definitely a Spokane must go spot! So much here to love that it's hard to boil it down to a short review. Suffice it to say that in all our experiences here, we've never been disappointed. Coffee is always fresh and staff is super friendly. Sticky buns and biscuits are house made. Sticky buns are hard to get right, often they're too sweet, too chewy, too dry, or otherwise deficient. The sticky buns here are as close to perfect as they get. Biscuits are fabulous, too. Not your traditional buttermilk biscuits more like a cornbread texture, truly unique especially when served with their house made strawberry jam! Yum. Spinach bacon omelette and meat lovers scramble were the entrees. Both were more food than we could handle in one sitting. Great flavor combinations and reasonably priced, too!
