I was pleasantly surprised by this place. I am very picky with breakfast food, and try to avoid places with added preservatives, batch pre made food and mediocre entrees. This place was far beyond my expectations. This place blew me away. Seriously. The outside is a bit deceiving, it seems like your everyday middle of the road breakfast restaurant but the food is actually so well made with lots of love and care and super fresh. The avocado toast and everything else on the menu is made to order, and most of the kitchen items are made completely from scratch. The prices are unbeatable and it's everything I wanted and needed this morning. Service was wonderful and very quick and ambiance is quiet and relaxing. Every time we come to visit this town, we will get breakfast here :) try their French toast and avocado toast!! read more

I seem to be in the minority, but I found it too loud (acoustics?) and my friend and I could not hear each other, pretty pricey - they don't skimp but I don't want leftovers and would prefer lower prices / less food. The fake butter was a big no for me. The bench in my booth was too far from the table. I don't think I would go back. For me, I would rather go to an actual diner and pay less or a quieter restaurant. read more

There are not a lot of breakfast choices in this area and this one provides diner fare in a cozy setting. Everything made fresh. Reasonable prices, but they do charge a fee to pay by cc. Unfortunately they do not give you real butter with the toast/biscuit. It was a margarine type spread. Indoor and covered outdoor seating. Dogs allowed outside. Parking is easy. read more

They have the BEST strawberry crepes ever! They are so light and fluffy and taste amazing - especially topped with whipped cream! I can't wait to go back for more. You've got to try them. Plus - they have great service and awesome early morning breakfast specials. read more

The staff were very friendly and courteous, but from a food perspective this is not the spot. Almost nothing was seasoned. The gyro pita was basically that... gyro meat and pita bread. There were almost no toppings nor flavor. All around all the food was just blah. read more

The last time I ordered from them was 8 yrs ago and it wasn't good. I ordered a breakfast bowl and it was disgusting. I do not know what they season their potatoes with, but it was horrible. Everything else was bad. I seasoned we with salt and pepper. Nothing could help this slop. How do you ruin breakfast? I gave them another chance today. read more

I've driven by this place a few times and today was the day! Walking in I was seated and I noticed how cozy this place is and just welcoming. Beachy art work on the walls. Plenty of seating inside as well as a few tables outdoors. Breakfast specials tin from Monday thru Friday 7 am to 9am dine in only $5.75 ( One per person with a purchase of a beverage) The prices are very reasonable! My BLT Club was one of the best I've had! Not that you can go wrong, however something about this one here at Skyway Cafe! Wow! The slaw on the side was very fresh! Yum! read more

Cute local diner with good breakfast and outdoor seating. Friendly people and a comfy atmsphere.

This use to be a place we loved to go . But after yesterday NEVER AGAIN. We normally eat outside the last couple of times we needed to tell them inside several times no one has taken our order . They forget to bring thing out we asked for coffee never got it have to ask for it several times . And then they give us the CHECK while we are still eating without even asking if we our finished and did we want anything else . DONE read more

Great morning specials M-F. Love their salmon on a bagel with fresh veggies. Always courteous. Greek run and good coffee.

Lots of delicious menu options! Very much a diner spot. Service is great, friendly and fast! The decor is simple and welcoming. Kinda like visiting your Aunts house! No wait at all, kiddo had a burger and fries that came with fantastic soup! I had eggs Benedict and my husband had an omelet, all were tasty! Hopefully we will be able to come back soon! read more

Cute little breakfast spot we found by accident. Great food and service and reasonably priced too!

Not too shabby for some steak n egg breaky w a coffee. Betya sweet granmammy its packed as all get out in the AM!

Skyway Cafe has become a weekly event for us. The food is delicious; it is freshly made with fresh ingredients. It definitely tastes like we're eating at home, only better. Some of our favorites include: the meatloaf dinner, the spinach and cheese omelette, the egg, ham, and cheese croissant, the grilled chicken sandwich., to name a few. In all honesty, whatever you choose from the menu will be delicious. The waitstaff are all awesome; they all try to please and give you the best service possible, and they do it with a smile. One of our favorites is Kerri. So if you're looking for home cooked food that's absolutely delicious, Skyway Cafe is the place to eat. read more

This company is price gouging, and should be boycotted until they learn a valuable lesson. This restaurant, and many others, are charging $1 per egg additional, when their additional cost, is no more than 30 cents per egg. That means they're profiting 70 cents per egg per customer. Do the math at what they're making at our expense. We're all struggling right now, and when they decide to take advantage of us, that's nothing short of gouging. It doesn't cost more money for them to obtain the eggs. They don't have to sanitize them. They don't have to change their buying habits. How can they justify such an exorbitant increase? Ask them when you get there and they'll tell you that everybody is doing it. Is that a good excuse? Don't complain about it. Take decisive action and review their company with a one star review. Stop the price gouging. They also charged me $1.10 for an ounce of honey for my coffee. Do you think they pay $1.10 for that additional ounce, or do you think they're profiting $0.80 per ounce? I understand them wanting to offset their costs, but they're robbing us when we're at our most vulnerable. If this doesn't pee you off.. there's something wrong. People read the reviews and people that stand on their principles, will avoid companies like these. I won't give this company any more of my money.. You can bet on that. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. read more

Skyway Cafe - Price Gouging at its worst - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - St. Petersburg, Florida

This is a great place and the staff could not be more welcoming. I have been visited this area two weekends in a row as I travel through Florida (for a total of at least 4 meals). I must say it has not disappointed. The breakfast items are well prepared and plentiful. I tried a couple of lunch items, and they were great as well. This is a family run restaurant and you feel like family while you are there. They get to know you and your guests and when you come back you are always greeted like a regular. It is very cozy and has a definite "HOME" feel. It is always busy, but even on the weekends there was a minimal amount of wait time (10 mins). Great outdoor patio with dog friendly seating. They ensure that those who may not want to be greeted by a dog upon entry are seated away from the main door. Nice touch. read more

Out on the town I randomly started getting a craving for breakfast so I called up my sister and met her at Skyway cafe for Brunch. We both showed up and we're seated immediately there was nobody inside we were able to order pretty quickly and get everything for the kids and ourselves without hassle. Our server Alina was amazing! and she was very attentive to the kids and questions we had about the menu, our food came out probably 13 minutes after we ordered and everything looked delicious The stuffed French toast was good for some reason when it said cream cheese I thought it was an icing but actual cream cheese it was still good just not what I was expecting, the Pancakes were a hit and the sausage links here are really thick but soft to chew it wasn't bad I actually liked it. The Nutella banana crepes is a HUGE serving we only got through one it was stuffed, the crepe itself is not as thin and crisp as a regular crepe this one is more eggy but good. read more

Such a cute little spot! It's not super close to the skyway, so I'm not sure of the name, but a nice little breakfast place. Neither myself or my friend ordered wrong. Even though the prices are on point, especially for the amount of food you get, we were stuffed and cleaned our entire plates. Tip - get the pancakes mixed in with a topping (IMO chocolate chips or nothing) & sit outside if it's nice! Rainy days aren't the easiest to find a good, dry spot but I appreciate the option of indoor and outdoor seating. read more

Was in town for the weekend. Really wish we had found this place sooner. Excellent breakfast and very friendly staff. Price was very fair and the place was clean. Will be back for sure, One more time before we leave.! Highly recommend if you're in the area. read more

Great place- extensive menu.... It will become our new favorite breakfast place. Delicious French toast-- eggs-- grits-- and scrapple cooked exactly as I requested. Taylor was our server, took excellent care of us. Thank you and see you soon Definitely 5 stars read more

I have been wanting to try this place out for months!! I pass it all the time and always say: I should grab breakfast there one day. Well, finally, I stopped by for breakfast and I'm glad I did!! I came here on a Friday morning around 10 AM. It wasn't too busy. There were a few tables outside that were available and it looked like they were quite a few available inside. We were able to pick our seats and we opted to sit outside because of Covid. The only thing that stunk about eating outside was that people were able to smoke. But I just don't like smoking so that's more of a personal preference. Our waiter was very nice and attentive. He was constantly giving us refills of our drinks as well as recommending a few things off of the menu. I got the southern breakfast, which was a biscuits and gravy with eggs and hash. They were delicious! I feel like I would get it again, however their menu has so many good choices, that when I go again I want to try something new! Oh and by the way, The biscuits were so so so tasty!!!! Highly recommend. We did not have to wait too too long for our food. I feel like it maybe took 15 to 20 minutes. Covid stats: The staff wore masks and it looks like they also wipe the menus after people use them. Can't comment on what they were like inside but from the outside dining we were able to maintain social distance between tables. Overall I really enjoyed my time here and I am looking forward to the next visit! read more

Affordable, but GREAT food at a classic breakfast cafe. I'm pretty traditional with my breakfast preferences, so I get the Spartan omelet w/ no feta, a side of bacon and home fries, or the veggie skillet w/ no cheese. I've always had pleasant experiences here with good service and good food. Can't say it's one of my most-visited breakfast spots, but when I lived nearby it was more of a weekend go-to! I typically prefer hash browns to home fries, but I ask for these extra crispy and I like them - just usually need to add salt! read more

Looking for a different spot for breakfast so I did my usual search on yelp and Skyway popped up. In a strip mall type area with outdoor seating. Lots of menu choices and specials. It was a little busy but we were ok sitting ourside which was open. Server was right there with water and to take our orders. Deb had the Breakfast pie. Lots of good flavors and filling! I had the Breakfast burrito with sausage. Huge! Tasted good and a good value. Solid breakfast spot read more

Skyway Cafe - Chicken salad sandwich. Delicious. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - St. Petersburg, Florida

Mel and I used to be regulars at Skyway Cafe when we lived in the Gateway area of St. Petersburg. Every Saturday morning and some Sundays for years we were there to enjoy their classic greasy-spoon fare. Then we moved to the Gulfport area, and getting back up that way just for breakfast became impractical. But this past Saturday we had a few errands to run up there and we both had the same thought at the same time about breakfast: SKYWAY! We were thrilled to discover that the place hasn't changed since pre-pandemic times much at all. Many of the same faces working there, including the same family owning and operating, the same menu, save delicious offerings. If anything, it was actually better -- grits a little firmer, medium-poached eggs perfectly delivered, sausage and toast picture-perfect -- but that may have had to do with us showing up a little after midday and missing the major breakfast rush. Here's what you really need to know: Skyway Cafe is no frills dining, but it's clean, friendly, and usually fast. Though we went there for breakfast 98 percent of the time, we've tried them for lunch and their sandwiches and grill items are delicious, as well. They've got plenty of parking, thanks to the fact that they share a lot with the Winn-Dixie supermarket next door. If you go on the weekends and show up between 9 and 11 a.m., expect to be waiting for a table. It's not a big place, but it's popular with everyone living in all the apartment complexes in that part of town, so be warned. As for favorites on the menu, Mel LOVES their corned beef hash. It's the canned variety, but it's still seasoned and grilled to perfection. As for me, I've always been a fan of their S.O.S. combo (biscuits with sausage gravy), their Hobo Hash (think of an omelet with just about everything, including home fries, thrown in, and their country fried steak. And most of all, it's the people here that will keep bringing you back. The Greek family that owns Skyway Cafe puts everything they have into it -- they're there on the busiest days, delivering quality and smiles, and they hire good people to spread that positive attitude with the service. Skyway Cafe remains our Once and Future Favorite Greasy Spoon in St. Pete, even beyond fancier options with ginormous portions like Metro Diner and 2nd and Second. Check it out yourself and you'll see why. read more

The coffee is very good here. Sat at the bar - great old school diner feel. Food was solid - got served fast.

Stopped in for breakfast based on 4+ star review avg. ordered corned beef hash and eggs because it was "homemade". Well, it tasted like it came from a can, so that didn't work out. Eggs over medium were nearly hard. These are table stakes in the breakfast world. Service was ok - I had a newish server that was fine. The diner itself was clean and there were plenty of customers on a Saturday morning. read more

Breakfast = Yes!! This place is a solid 3.5 stars for me. I want breakfast all the time, yet it's hit or miss at many places. So here's the rundown of this cafe. The clam chowder was spot on delicious. Creamy, not too salty, and very meaty. The blackened chicken melt surprised me on how good it was! Order it. You won't be disappointed! Also, the fries were golden perfection! The pancake was just meh. The outside was tough, but the inside was light and fluffy. The biscuit and gravy were spot on! The omelet was pretty underwhelming, there were no punches of flavors, or frills. Service was quick, the staff was friendly, and the tables were clean. All good stuff! read more

First time here to Skyway Café and I had a great experience. There is inside and outside seating available (both sun and shade) The prices are very reasonable with average of $9 to $10 or less! Huge portions. I love you because they have a little bit of everything in them and they have many to choose from. Service was good and you pay inside at the register. Special traditional breakfast options for $3.95 between 7:00-8:30. Located inside the plaza all the way over on the right hand side on the corner read more

Walked up to this cafe while visiting my family. It was about brunch time and there was a bit of a wait but it wasn't long at all. Our server was very nice and attentive. I'm not much of a breakfast person so I ordered the Cuban sandwich. I really love a good Cuban. It was nice and cheesy and melty. Very much enjoyed it. It comes with fries, slaw, and soup. I passed on the soup because I knew I wouldn't even be able to eat an entire sandwich! My partner got breakfast at the demands of my niece. They both had eggs, bacon, and toast. My partner also got a side of biscuits and gravy. All the food was hot and cooked well and there was a ton of it! I tried the home fries and they were really good. Will definitely stop in here again! read more

I came here specifically for some crepes but everything on the menu looked so good I ended up going with their steak skillet which was right up my alley. My steak was cooked exactly how I requested and everything was delicious. Additionally, the service here was pretty decent, all the staff played a role in making sure we got everything we needed. The wait for the food was a little long because they were very busy. This is the perfect spot to grab breakfast or lunch with your family and friends. read more
