Editorial Review for Skyline Restaurant – by Rachel Bellacera
In Short
Skyline's nostalgic '50s-style decor of Formica counters and Naugahyde booths and bustling, no-nonsense service are true to its "burger and shake" drive-in heritage. Families and young couples come for its signature dish, the Skyline, a lean burger towering with lettuce, tomatoes and onions. The fries and onion rings are crisp, but the real draw is the malted milkshakes in hot fudge and mint chip. More fountain specials include the sexy butterscotch sundae.

Skyline is a rare breed in the Portland/Beaverton area. The focus on gourment in most local places leaves few places serving classic American burgers. Cheap but good burgers without the fluff makes Skyline a craving satisfier. My favorite meal here is the skyline cheeseburger with onionrings. The onion rings alone keep me coming back. Remember they only take cash, but there is an ATM inside.
Pros: burgers and onion rings
Cons: pale french fries, parking can be bad, cash only

After writing this review, the next day (Sunday) I called and talked to Michelle, the owner and told her of my experience. She was speechless, and to use her words, 'horrified', of my experience. She was VERY apologetic, and couldn't understand how I'd had such a 'horrible' experience, and offered me a very generous gift certificate. I told her I didn't call for that reason, but to inform her, as I'd been a business owner and always appreciated any negative feedback, as well as good. Though this was over the phone, I could tell in her voice, there aren't enough words in the English language to describe how badly she felt, and how heartfelt her apologies were. She was very sincere, and literally begged me to let her send me a gift certificate and to please give them another chance, stating that they STILL serve excellent burgers. I relinquished, and just as she promised, yesterday I received it in the mail. I will use it and write another review, based on that experience. I'm looking forward to it, as I DO remember how good it was previously. PhotoBlaster
Pros: Very friendly staff, cool atmosphere
