    Mexican skillet

    Over the years since my first review this has become my favorite breakfast place although it's a bit of a drive for me now. Omelettes are great, simple egg breakfasts are also good and the specials are great when they have them. I rarely get pancakes or waffles so I can't comment. This week I went for lunch and had the chefs signature burger which was very good as were the fries. Staff are friendly. The place is always busy whenever I go. Highly recommended!

    I deeply despise the term "hidden gem," but I'm hard-pressed not to use it here. This place is in the middle of nowhere, and I was only aware of its existence from local word of mouth, despite this being essentially my original HQ and my high school being a very short ride down the road (and good luck even seeing this from the road). Subtle doesn't even begin to describe this location. I came here this past Sunday for lunch with some chums, including two honorary young pup chums. The young pups were primarily brought along in the hopes that there might be some airplane action optics for them, so on that basis alone it was a success - we had at least two planes land in front of the windows, prompting a mixture of squeals and shushes. We also took a quick walk outside afterwards to look at the planes parked (feels like there must be a better word it) off to the side of the runway, which was an exciting mini-adventure for them despite the nippiness. Just to underscore the random area this is in, you have to drive off a county highway past the entrance to Beneduce, and then into the Sky Manor Airport, which requires driving all the way around and behind the airport buildings until you ultimately arrive at the restaurant. You earn this one. The interior of this place is pretty memorable too - I've been in a few local airport cafes before, and this is on par with them. Lots of wood paneling that feels like an unintentional homage to everyone's grandparents' basement (where were the Dean Martin records?), coupled with airplane swag on the walls and just an overall old school diner feel. I don't know that this restaurant is necessarily historic in the sense that it's been here for decades, but it's cozy and seems lived in, if that makes sense. Very cool. I'd been emotionally preparing for breakfast/brunch but didn't realize that that specific menu cuts off before noon, so I hemmed and hawed quite a bit at the lunch menu. None of the burgers or sandwiches were really speaking to me so I went with the Arugula Salad with the grilled chicken add-on, featuring sweet potatoes, cranberries and a soft boiled egg. It's pretty rare for me to go salad, but this is the kind of I'm into, and it delivered. Huge portion (I was decently hungry and probably left a quarter of it on the plate), and all of the sweet and savory perfectly complemented each other. If you're into salad chains, it reminded me a lot of the harvest bowl option at Chopt or Sweet Green but honestly better. The one miss for me was dessert. The pups were clamoring for chocolate cake, so I agreed to split a slice of the red velvet with my chum. I had a bad feeling when I stuck my fork into the side and actually had trouble getting a bite size worth separated from the rest of the slice - it was that stale. I'm guessing that particular cake was at least a day old, which literally and figuratively left a bit of a bad taste in the mouth. Pretty avoidable mistake, in my opinion. The pups seemed delighted with their option, so I suppose you take the victories where you can. The service was very good. The young pups probably prompted the hospitality to tick up a notch, which is more than fine. Our waitress was very friendly and stopped by regularly. When we ordered the chocolate cake for the pups to split, she then sliced that up on her own initiative so each pup actually got their own small slice. Nice touch. Would love to try out the breakfast menu in the future, which probably has more intriguing options overall for me but regardless this was a solid win to jumpstart the year. I imagine the airport optics are also way better when you have the luxury of hanging out outside in non-polar vortex weather.

    love love lovee this spot!! i recently tried this spot out for lunch and it was amazing! the restaurant has seating both indoors and outdoors. It was packed inside the restaurant and for a very good reason. The food was delicious! I was pleasantly impressed by how well balanced the flavors all were and how seasoned the food was. It was very good without a doubt. I had the spicy buttermilk fried chicken sandwich which was great, it was flavorful and crispy and filling. I tried the steak sandwich as well which was very good too. The service is also very good, the employees are very present and make sure everything is well. There's also planes outside which you can watch take off while you eat which makes it a nice unique experience

    Big servings and delicious.

    Family style restaurant serving breakfast and lunch. They have also outdoor seatings during nice weather. Although located in Sky Manor Airport which caters pilots , Sky Cafe is open to public serving good food at reasonable price. Service is fast extended by friendly, reliable, courteous and hardworking staff managed by the owner. The place is usually packed and busy specially during weekends. We have been here many times and we keep on coming back to Sky Cafe. See you all there guys.

    My first visit here and I was alone, my wife was working. Post NJ MVC for a Real ID and I was looking for a nice breakfast and a generous day! I settled on a cheddar cheese omelette with mortadella, home fries and rye toast. Unlimited coffee refills. My only regret was that my wife did not join me. The food was awesome and bountiful! We will return as a couple next time to watch the small planes land and takeoff . Oh and also enjoy a great breakfast!

    This place was great! We brought our 2.5 year old and our server was kind enough to move us upon request to a table next to the window with a great view of the runway. The food was great. Like surprisingly great. Our server was lovely and very attentive. The orange juice tasted fresh squeezed (the best!) and we got a fruit plate to share which had lots of yummy options.

    Plane landing

    The experience is definitely worth it. The food wasn't that great. The eggs had a fishy taste to them, the toast was stale. Their "freshly squeezed orange juice" tasted like store brought. What we really enjoyed was seeing planes take off and land so close. Made the wait time bearable with 2 under two. Service was great but probably won't be coming back but it was worth coming just for the kids.

    Great food. Great service. Can be crowded. No reservations. Beautiful view out the windows, especially if you like planes.

    Without a doubt, the best restaurant in NJ is Sky cafe, the staff is very friendly and the food is delicious, we will visit it again soon, great job guys.

They were very sweet and happily accommodated our 7mo old daughter with a highchair (and buttered rigatoni!). Our reservation was a 6:15, and we were promptly seated in a beautiful part of the dining room. They had vases full of garlic scapes, peonies, hydrangeas. The decor and ambiance was beautiful. On each table, they had a small vase of fragrant herbs. The dinner is $95 and three courses. We chose from an entree list of duck confit, hake, and summer risotto. We chose the hake and duck to share, The first course was an herby salad with little gem lettuce, bacon, and crispy croutons. I love an herby salad so this was very delicious. The hake with hollandaise sauce and asparagus was good perfectly, it was a really delicious, plump piece of fish. The Eaton mess for dessert was fabulous. Berry preserves, berry sorbet, vanilla ice cream, and merengue. A winning combination. I definitely recommend as a destination restaurant along this cute Delaware River town. PS it's BYOB!

The food, however, was something of a disappointment; for a restaurant with this many accolades and a very small menu, I would not expect the confit to be dried out or the sole to be dry and mealy. I love almond cake, but again, it had five minutes too long in the oven. Felt the chef's attention was not on their timing.

I don't usually write reviews, but you're charging $8.75 for what signs in the shop and the counter person called "a pint" of ice cream. My wife was so upset at the sizing that she refused to have any ice cream. Our boys and I went ahead with the purchase despite the price. Now, charge whatever you want if people are okay paying it, but the "pint" clearly wasn't really a pint. Truth in advertising still matters. The "pint" paper container actually holds about a cup of ice cream. We know this because I saved the container, brought it home, and measured its volume. One measuring cup of water (8 oz.) filled the container pretty close to full, about half an inch from the top. You have a lovely shop and I wish you much success. At the same time, please stop telling customers that they're buying a "pint" of ice cream when they're really buying about a cup of ice cream. Label it something else, "Standard," "Regular," "Large" (compared to the pops), or whatever. Calling something a pint when it clearly isn't only hurts your credibility as a proprietor and sullies the customer experience. Thank you.
