The salad was good, fresh lettuce, and sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, and egg. But the fried chicken was pressed and formed nuggets, not solid muscle like one would think about fried chicken. It wasn't horrible, just not to my expectations. Next time, I'll try the burgers.

My only problem was the shrimp cocktail is way over priced for the small shrimp you get and they were not cold. And there is nothing worse than scanning a menu just to find out that the first three things you want they are out of. A restaurant should never ever run out of food on their menu and if they do, tell the people before they spend the time reading and ordering something for no reason. Don't just hope that the people won't order it. Disclose it, or never run out in the first place. The food we did get was fantastic. I'd give them another shot if they corrected their problems

Skyroom Restaurant is the flagship dining room for Indiana Beach amusement park and campground…read more Like the theme park, the Skyroom is not what it was under the previous owners. Indiana Beach sold a handful of years ago from the original family founders to an out-of-state corporate entity. Since then, there have been ongoing complaints and rumors each summer tourist season would be Indiana Beach's last. Many locals have tried reaching out and helping Morgan RV Parks, the current New York State-based owners of Indiana Beach, but they've reportedly received little to no response. Yet, as of last tourist season, the Skyroom was still turning out some delicious food albeit struggling to maintain decent service. Fortunately for guests (and poorly trained staff), the Skyroom has not been as popular as it used to be, so kitchen and front-of-house staff have been somewhat able to make do. If you have good memories of the Skyroom, I might suggest visiting this summer (2014), because it may be your last chance to enjoy a nice dinner in their comfortable, air-conditioned dining room overlooking Lake Shafer and the colorfully lighted Indiana Beach boardwalk.

We stopped in with a small group (11 of us) around 7:00p on a Friday and secured the last two tables available. The service was a tad slow from the get-go but when our waitress came around for drink orders it was firing it all cylinders! (I wish I could remember her name but she did say her sister owns the place) She was an absolute pro and took care of everything we could've asked for without hesitation. She was a treat! Oh, and I feel like she created their POS system b/c she knew how to make that thing bend to her will! The menu seems small but it is packed with all kinds of things that anyone would be able to find something. I went with the Mango Habanero wings and they were delicious! Someone else went with the Home Run sandwich and raved about it. Needless to say, everyone was more than happy with their orders! The dining room was also a pleasant experience. Not quiet but also not loud, the perfect amount of ambiance to feel like a typical sports bar (with more restaurant feel than bar). There are ample tables of all sizes and plenty of TVs, plus a jukebox (which was turned off for "dinner time", which was perfect). We absolutely loved our experience at Rugie's and cannot wait to return again next time we're in the area.

There is a sign on the wall addressing their slow service, stating something like 'We won't compromise food quality for fast service'. But I've waited what seems to be the same amount of time I've waited for food at establishments such as Chili's or Olive Garden for fried chicken and fries. As I posted at the beginning the food is decent, but unless you have blinders and earplugs in you will notice the "mood" of the manager which is very off-putting.

The restaurant is still nicely painted and decorated cheerfully (not much wear and tear in a year), and the TV was showing a canine obstacle course competition. Since it was Father's Day, there were quite a few people there. The median age was 75 years old. The lights were off in one area of the restaurant, not in the romantic mood lighting sort of way though, but bulbs burned out. We put in our order at the counter and noticed the broaster chicken was running low at 12:30 p.m. The broaster chicken meals come with a biscuit and one side. I chose the broaster potatoes, as I remembered a year ago the mashed potatoes and gravy were not to my liking. The broaster chicken pieces are bigger and more normal to size than they were last year, served fresh from the fryer but a bit too salty for my taste, and I love salt. The broaster potatos were actually quite good, and the biscuit was warmish. It took at least 20 minutes to get our meal, as they had to fry up another batch in the middle of the lunch crowd. My SO ordered a hamburger. The fries were extra and so was the soft drink. The hamburger was OK. Total bill for 3 pieces of chicken (breast, wing & drumstick), a serving of broaster potato chunks, 1 biscuit, 1 hamburger, 1 serving of fries and a soft drink was a little under $13.00. The strawberry shortcake sundae and chocolate dipped chocolate soft serve ice cream was a little under $6.00, but the vanilla ice cream was already pooling when I received it. The owner/manager and cashier did come to our table to ask if we were happy with the food and service which was a nice touch. This isn't going to be my go-to place for a quick meal, as it's not particularly quick and there are establishments that make better fried chicken and hamburger, but I can see stopping here every once and awhile to support a local business.
