Now, from the outside, the Skylight is very non-descript. I've walked past it a million times over the years and this is the first time that I've really noticed it. The inside matched the outside, being simple and straightforward. We were seated immediately and given menus by the server, a pleasant, middle-aged woman. We each ordered a coffee ($1.25 each, free refills), minus Bobby, who ordered a large orange juice ($1.75 each). Kimmy also partook in the juice situation, being the girl that she is. We perused the menu for a little while, which was small, but very affordable and managed to encompass the basics, while we were brought our beverages. The coffee was, well, stereotypical diner coffee. It was fairly watery and weak, but still not disgusting like Deacon's. The server came back and took our orders, which were as follows.
Jesse - French Toast. 3 slices, along with 3 slices of bacon. ($5.25 / Total $6.50)
Kimmy - Eggs Benny. Served with hash browns. ($5.75 / $8.75)
Cam - Daily special. 2 pancakes, 2 slices of bacon and hash browns. ($4.75 / $6)
Bobby - Daily special. 2 pancakes, 2 slices of bacon and hash browns. ($4.75 / $6.50)It was a mere wink of an eye, in terms of time, between placing our orders and the food arriving. We were all famished, so we all dug in immediately. My French toast was quite fluffy and tasty, and while the bacon was a bit on the cold side, it was also tasty. The others were fairly pleased with their meals as well. Kimmy said, "Well, this benny is definitely better than IHOPs, so it's not -that- bad." Meanwhile, Cam was left feeling a bit hungry, much like at The Argo.
Overall, for the price, the Skylight was acceptable. At the same time, for the overall quality, you could probably get the same thing with better coffee at Bons. But hey, if you don't feel like waiting in a lineup, or waiting 40 minutes for some cheap, tasty breakfast, I'd suggest a quick stop at the Skylight.
Stay sharp, kids
Jesse
