Ive been eating at this place now for about 6 weeks, once a week. Ive had breakfast, sandwiches, lunch plates, Ive had nothing that wasn't great! read more

Food- was pretty good all things considered. I got a green chili turkey sammich. Went with a good sized group and they didnt blink over accomodating us 10 folks. No one said anything negative about the food. Service was great, it was busy so our server was hustling around. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance is what you would think for an airport diner type place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Been there several times just never wrote up my experience. Will be back and Yelp on! read more

Food is decent, typical coffee shop fare. Service has been an issue on more than one occasion. They seem to cater to the regulars at the expense of the occasional customer. read more

Really enjoyed our lunch here today. Service was excellent, all the ladies were super friendly and the food came out so fast we were shocked. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor is cute and it's fun to watch planes taking off through the big windows.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Marana Airport location. Food is good and the old homestyle ambiance flows with the home-cooked style menu. Visiting a couple of times with my partner, I found it's not a good idea if a large group comes right after you are seated because you will be served AFTER the server takes their orders. That means we became low priority for getting our order in. Large groups bring large tips. If you have all the time in the world to wait, go for it. The food is good. read more

This place seemed decent but the 2nd time i went it all went downhill...service was horrible, I asked for coke & got dr pepper, we were never checked on even though everyone around us was...[[HIGHLIGHT]]chairs were uncomfortable[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]...

Ventured out there for the first time and I was not disappointed. It was very busy, but our waitress took great care of us. Everyone else had breakfast, but I had a wrap. I had the bacon chicken wrap with ranch dressing and it was phenomenal. I wasn't even all that hungry but couldn't stop myself. I would highly recommend heading out there even if that's the only thing you eat. [[HIGHLIGHT]]A true gem and you can look at the planes[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Sky Rider Coffee Shop - Coffeeeee - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Marana, Arizona

I want to preface this by saying, I very rarely give such low scores to restaurants. However, this one was warranted. I ordered to go on a Sunday morning. I was told for three meals it would be a 40 minute wait, but I always want to support a local business, and I was told it was really busy, so I agreed to wait for it. I got to the restaurant way before my meal was ready, but that was okay. I noticed that the hostess was short with patrons coming in, but I chalked it up to the team being overwhelmed. After waiting for about 30 minutes, I heard a commotion. Two staff members were arguing about where my order was. More arguing occurred, and I began to feel uncomfortable. They pointed at me and said, "That was her order!" Apparently, they gave my order to someone else and tried to catch them before they left. I understand, accidents happen, they were busy. But I was really disappointed about the whole situation. Another man walked in with to go boxes, and shared that he got the wrong order. Rather than making me fresh food, they repackaged what he had already opened and gave it to me. They apologized and gave me my food, but I didn't love that someone else had taken my food home, opened it, and then I got it back about 20-30 minutes later. Also, there was a short black hair in my home fries. Everything needed to be reheated at home, and I was bummed. We won't be back. read more

Typically fly in for breakfast, which is always great, but choose lunch today. Had the Reuben and it was amazing! Staff is always nice and the aircraft are cool to see. Old school diner. Oh yeah, you do not have to fly here. LOL! read more

Sky Rider Coffee Shop - Reuben - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Marana, Arizona

This place is fantastic! I brought my son here for lunch and my husband met us on his way home from work. He was running late but the staff was amazing and patient with me. All of the food we ordered was delicious and fresh. This is the kind of local cafe you want to have nearby! Delicious food that has that home cooked vibe or comfort food feeling. I love a good open faced sandwich or chicken fried steak. They're only open for breakfast and lunch. It's also off the beaten path as I don't go by the Marana airport very often. I need to remember this place is there though because it's awesome!! read more

First time. Food was good, not great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Love the atmosphere, saw some parachutes and planes taking off.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Looks like a place that should have homemade pies. We will go back again. read more

This hidden jewel is amazing!! A neighbor who is working on her pilot's license recently recommended this place and we have now gone twice - once for breakfast and once for lunch. It reminds me of a small town diner. Nothing fancy, but the food, and especially the service, are both spectacular! Prices are great too! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is located at the Marana Airport giving customers a view of the runway and airport operations.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Because it's at the airport, the location is somewhat off the beaten path but very worth the drive. I highly recommend!! read more

Old school diner. Friendly, prompt service. Breakfast standards and salads, sandwiches, burgers.

Love this place, lots of great food, price very reasonable. Fun servers feel at home.

I absolutely love this establishment. They service is great. The more you go the more they get to know by name. You feel like family. They prepare your food to your liking. Even putting my sunny side up eggs on top of the hash browns. You can't miss having either breakfast or lunch/early dinner. They open at 6am and close at 2pm I believe. I will always be returning here. It's become my home away from home for a great meal anyday. read more

I've always enjoyed eating here until today. I've always believed in supporting small businesses. Today (3/10/26) my friend and I stopped for breakfast. We sat by the back door close to the gate to the tarmac. I've always enjoyed airplanes and as we ate our breakfast I noticed a plane sitting way off in the distance that I couldn't recognized from where we sat. When we were done eating, we walked out to the back fence to get a closer look. As we were looking through the fence the waitress opens the back door and started yelling like a banshee -- she thought we were going to skip out without paying. First of all, it was embarrassing to me because there were several customers around. More importantly do you actually think we would leave without paying! Is this how you trust your customers? Doesn't say much for you, does it? I've eaten here several times but NEVER again! One bad or embarrassing experience and you lose a customer forever! read more

This place is adorable! There are planes decorated everywhere, hot air balloons and paraglider's outside. The price is very, very reasonable. The waitress speaks to you as a friend. We loved it. I got the corn beef hash (the portion was small) and my husband got the Spanish omelet (also small). We were licking our chomps and really enjoyed the whole experience. Will a thousand percent be coming back. read more

Sky Rider is a little cafe located inside the Marana Airport property. It is open from 6 am to 2 pm and serves breakfast and lunch. The servers are friendly and treat everyone like regulars. I usually order the Philly Cheesesteak. It comes with lots of fries and what tastes like a homemade dill pickle. My wife loves the Patty Melt which comes with grilled onions and cheese on rye bread. Same fries and pickle included. Food is served quickly and hot. We can both eat for about $20. I have never tried these but at the counter they have cinnamon rolls topped with bacon. They look yummy and one of these days i am going to try one. There are a lot of interesting photos of various historical airplanes including Howard Hughes' flying boat, The Spruce Goose. These museum quality pictures are worth at least one visit. There are very few places to eat in the area so it would be nice if they were open for dinner. I think they did try it at one time but for some reason they stopped doing it. They do take out orders which we've done a few times. The cafe is a nice clean friendly place to grab a quick breakfast or lunch at reasonable prices. You should stop and give them a try. I think you will quickly become a regular. read more

Sky Rider Coffee Shop - Eggs, sausage, hash browns, white toast, biscuit with gravy - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Marana, Arizona

The staff here was such a hoot! Very friendly and funny. We enjoyed our breakfast at the bar, older diner vibes-it felt like being in a movie. Cute ambiance it has a family familiar feeling. Breakfast was typical options, nothing too extravagant but solid choices. Great communication and service. I appreciate their efforts to help decrease the risk of cross contamination with my gluten allergy. Would love to see latte/additional coffee options as it's marketed as a coffee shop, however drip coffee was all they had. Also more allergen info on their menu would be lovely too! Food was 4 stars, but service was amazing!! read more
