Skyline Restaurant lives up to the hype.

by david6489 at Citysearch

Me and my girlfriend went to Skyline restaurant for the first time because we read that skyline was the number 1 burger joint. When we arrived into the restaurant the first thing we noticed was all of the great reviews all over the wall and also the great long history this place possesses. The place was packed but we only had to wait about 5 minutes to be seated. We were met by our waiter whose name was Paul B. and we told him this was our first visit to his establishment. He was very pleasant, he was also very helpful with the menu. We were touched by Paul making this one of the best experiences we have had, with restaurants. We both ordered burgers with the works and we really loved them, the texture was just fabulous. My girlfriend ordered onion rings also and they were as advertised, very very scrumptous. For desert we had the great option of ordering all types of delicious shakes and we decided to try the pecan pie shake (For Me) and my girlfriend tried the bananna cream pie shake. Both shakes were just so very delicious. Overall we were very very satisfied and we felt that our waiter Paul B. was the best waiter we had ever experienced. This place really stood up to the hype of being the number 1 burger place. Outstanding food and outstanding service, we will definitely go to this establishment again.

• Pros: Service, professionalism, food
• Cons: restroom outside around corner

THE Greasy hamburger joint of Portland

by sarah0948 at Citysearch

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

Best Pumpkin Shake Ever

by xjems at Citysearch

Found Skyline totally by accident- was a busy saturday night, and only had to wait about 5 mins for a table.

I had a 1/2 pound bbq burger- was everything the menu promised. Pumpkin milkshake was the best I've ever had. I only wish i lived in Portland so i could come here more often!

Staff was also really friendly even with the business of the restaurant managed to keep their cool. Will definately come back next time I'm in town.

• Pros: Milkshakes
• Cons: Out of the Way

Best Burger

by sunnyday1234 at Citysearch

I have been going to Skyline for over 36 years! I love this restaurant. The new owners have added their own touch to the already retro design. The service is excellent and the atmosphere is fun. Get a #12! It is the best in the West- or the East for that matter! If you want a trendy - toppings galore burger that doesn't let you taste real flavor- move on...to another joint- Because- This is the real deal. The juicy hamburger melts in your mouth. They use meat that isn't a frozen hockey puck! The booths are fun and the wait is no more than a few mintues with they are busy. I live about 6 hours away and I go to Portland about five times a year, Skyline is the first place I stop. You have to go!

• Pros: inexpensive, fun place=everyone, The best burgers!

Classic American BREAKFAST!

by billvolckening at Citysearch

I've been going to Skyline ever since I first moved to Portland, and it has always been my favorite lunch spot. Now, they are also open for breakfast, and their breakfast menu is true to form. It's absolutely wonderful! You walk in, and it's like they've been doing breakfast for decades. It is truly a classic American breakfast!

• Pros: food, atmosphere & service, value

I went here last week, and this is the first time here, since 1968. I hasn't changed a bit. The large cheeseburger was great, but not the best. The french fries need help. The prices were very reasonable.

I am a little on the heavy side, so I need a table, or a booth, with some room. This place has neither. It has a counter, but too small here, too. This place is not comfortable for one, who is over 250 lbs, and there are a lot of us. They have a large lunch crowd, so get here early, or you wait for a seat. This is not because it is too small, but because it is very popular. It's also a great place to rub elbows, with the very rich, of SW Portland.

• Pros: Great hamburgers., Great service., Great 50's asmosphere
• Cons: Tight seating
