We stopped here for breakfast while heading north up to Dunedin. The sign said there are new owners - they are doing a great job. I had eggs with Canadian bacon and apple butter for my toast. A choice on the menu was meatloaf and...eggs - you don’t see that much. Service was very personable. Nice place - but the booths need new stuffing.More

I have been to many restaurants in the St. Pete Beach area. Although a number of them are very good, Skyway Jack gives you the best bang for your buck. Their omelets are delicious. Maybe that is why they are always busy when I go...there.More

The hospitality is unmatched at Skyway Jacks! It was a busy Saturday morning and we were still seated quickly and barely waited for our food to come up. Took the recommended eggs Benedict from our fantastic server Terry and wasn't disappointed. Looking forward to trying...another "taste of terry" on our next visit!More

This place is an awesome florida diner with everything you would expect from florida. HUGE portions of food and your not paying tourist prices, it’s def a locals place but very welcoming to everyone. I had the big ham and eggs and it’s the size...of the plate. The menu is huge and has a little bit of everything. I can’t imagine what kind of people would leave a bad review for this place or what their expectations of a diner are lol but this is probably the best in Florida.More

Food is plentiful and excellent, staff is friendly and efficient. Problem I have is with the new management adding a credit card fee before even asking how you are paying! Also, a member of our party had the veal parmigiana that was listed on the...menu for $12.95 ( great price). On the bill there was a $12.95 charge along with a $1.25 charge for a veal patty! You would think the veal patty would be included in the meal! Sorry, don’t like the nickel and dime mentality and will not be back after being a long time patron!More

The coffee cream is not milk or half and half. It is powder milk mixed with water and then served in a ketchup squirt bottle. It never lightened the color or flavor of the coffee. A bad way for owner to try to save money....Asked for butter for French toast. What is served is a spread product made with several ingredients non of which had any butter in it. Kind of a slimy yellow grease with chemical taste. Two Fakes that the 4 of us Wednesday breakfast guys will not go back. Too many other places with good quality ingredients and at the same price. This new owner is making a mistake and not saving costs but losing customers.More

Sadly disappointed. I kind of like the idea of unmatched, coffee cups, however, the coffee cup my coffee came in was chipped along the rim cracked inside, and absolutely filthy. I sent it back, and to my surprise, saw the kitchen staff, putting it back...on the shelf for reuse after it had been washed. To add insult to injury, the “cream” for the coffee is actually a powdered substance that they mix with water as told to us by our waitress. The food that was delivered, arrived lukewarm. Had it been served at the proper temperature? It would’ve actually been really good. The service… Well, that left a lot to be desired. To top it off, I realized after using the ladies room that there is no hot water being run to the tap in there. I guess that means that the staff after using the bathroom do not use hot water and soap to wash their hands. Kind of gross when you stop to think about it. It would be a great spot if they just cleaned up their act.More

This place is worth the wait! The corned beef hash and eggs were good but the Reese’s pancakes were phenomenal. Jullissa our server deserves a raise! She seemed busy but still greeted us happily and was on top of everything. Drinks, food, service, wow! Will...be back!More

I finally got a chance to have breakfast at Skyway Jack's today. I ordered the eggs benedict and it was terrific! The coffee was $2.75 excluding tax. My concern about this establishment has to do with their service. The waitress that served us never looked...at me the whole time except in the end where she realized that I was the person paying the bill instead of the person I am with. As a person of Asian descent, much of her attention was focused on him instead of me. She never looked at me, not even once from the time I ordered, when she checked up on us a couple of times, and from the time she handed us the bill. I can't help but think this may be some form of subtle racism or "unconscious" microaggression? It seems very strange and felt like I did not deserve her attention. In any case, I just thought to share this here and hope that my experience is an isolated one. Customer is important to me especially with in a restaurant and is an important part of the dining experience. I'm moving to on to trying an providing reviews of other breakfast places.More

Recently, my photographer friends and I have been making a stop for breakfast or lunch at Skyway Jacks after photographing at nearby Ft Desoto County Park. They have an Old Florida atmosphere that does back to the mid-70s. On my most recent visit I suggested...to my camera club that we stop at Skyway Jacks after a a sunrise photo shoot. Our group was 12 photographers. We called first and the restaurant was happy to accommodate us. On this visit I had my favorite Sausage Mushroom and Cheese Omelette. They are always big and tasty Skyway Jacks. Prices are reasonable and their menu is huge.More
