Skyway Jack's

Skyway Jack’s is a true St. Pete gem! This classic diner has been serving up hearty, delicious breakfasts since 1976, and it’s easy to see why locals and visitors keep coming back. The portions are huge, the service is warm and friendly, and everything we tried was cooked to perfection. I especially loved the country fried steak with eggs and the creative pancake specials—they’re fluffy, flavorful, and totally satisfying.  Casual, no-frills vibe with a fun, quirky touch (love the pig-themed decor!). Whether you’re craving traditional Southern comfort food or something a little different like their Eggs Benedict options, Skyway Jack’s delivers every time. Highly recommend for breakfast or brunch—you’ll leave full and happy!  5 stars!

Although they don’t cut their toast (it’s an insider, ask for the T-Shirt 😅) they are one of a kind. Great atmosphere, wonderful Team, great food. I loved every second of it. It’s a door to a beautiful past that needs to be preserved and supported. Outside you have excellent angles to take memorable fun pictures. I love this place.

You won't find better French toast or better service in the St. Pete/Tampa Bay area. I get the French toast every time. Crispy along the edges and soft inside. Nice vanilla flavor. My husband gets the Southside Bennie and said the biscuits were perfection. 10/10.

This is exactly the kind of old-school breakfast spot you hope still exists. Packed with regulars, nonstop conversation, friendly staff who clearly know half the customers by name, and top-notch service from the moment you walk in. The decor is delightfully eclectic — and if you’re a Steelers fan, you’ll feel right at home. The whole place has personality, charm, and that classic greasy spoon energy in the best possible way. Great breakfast, generous portions, and the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to come back every weekend.

I know Skyway Jacks is known for its 1 star yelp reviews, but I'll give it a 4. The service was good. The food was decent. The setting was whimsical. Worth at least a visit.
