Founded in 1935 by the Steele family, Skyline Restaurant was originally known as The Speck. The Lum family assumed ownership and then the Hom family purchased Skyline in 1977. The current owner, Michelle Nelson, whose Grandmother worked for the Hom family, bought the restaurant in 1999. Skyline Restaurant boasts at least three generations of patrons. Recently, a couple celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary here, where they had their first date. Skyline Restaurant now accepts credit cards. We proudly serve locally-sourced products from Alpenrose Dairy, Franz Bakery, Fulton Provisions, Tillamook Cheese, as well as Coca-Cola products.

I was so excited to try skyline , but I was unfortunately dissatisfied. The staff was extremely unwelcoming and unfriendly. The patty was so small compared to the bun , so all you tasted was bun. All of my stuff tasted like the same oil. The bacon was good! I appreciated the patty’s being grass fed , And the shakes were amazing! But that’s about it for good things to say about the food. The price was high for the quality. Good atmosphere! I loved the old school building.
Overall wouldn’t come back.

My absolute favorite restaurant. I have been going here for nearly 30 years. A fairly large menu that is pretty friendly no matter what your eating needs are. Good for vegetarian or gluten free. I don’t have any dietary restrictions so I tend to just get a simple burger.

This place is a blast from the past. It is an old, old place and looks just like a diner from way back. The food and service were excellent. The staff were vere friendly and attentive. The burgers were great and our sons had real chocolate milkshakes they loved. Parking is somewhat limited, as is the seating.

Small town burger joint at the top of a hill. Milkshake was to die for. Big burger was BIG and cooked perfectly. Fries were crispy and hot! Prices were less than expected, would have paid more so tipped a little extra. Local businesses are always better!
Highly recommend!

Best food, amazing service, We would come back in a heartbeat! Can’t recommend enough. As someone who only gets one thing at restaurants, I can confidently say the chicken strips were the best I’ve ever had! They have flavored sodas, like Soda Shops in the 50’s, and I got a Chocolate Coke, hit the spot like no other! The milkshakes both me and my friend agree would come back just for them!

So this place was on tik tok as foodie good eats but upon getting there the waitress was ok. I wanted a certain hot dog that I guess was a January special no way I would have known since it was my first time there also I ordered coke never got a refill and to add insult to injury we ordered a shake everyone else got whip cream I watched and the waitress brought ours to go no whip cream. It was a complete turn off and I will never go back. I really thought the way they hyped this place up that the 50 miles would be worth it. My mistake.

Was looking forward to a “small diner” lunch vibe. A little disappointed.
1 server during lunch overlooking 6 tables with customers.
She took our order, dropped off our food and then didn’t speak to us until we were waiting to pay.
While we were eating, she left our bill on table edge without saying anything.
Food was good for “Diner” food but very expensive. Saw a TT video & wanted to try this place out.
The booths are super tight space–my daughter is 39 weeks pregnant and had a hard time squeezing in.
I’m a little fluffy and short–so not alot of room to adjust the table. The well worn cushion had me “sunk in” with the table at my boob area.
Bathrooms are outside,out back & cold.
Parking is limited on a super busy intersection.
Glad we came, tried it. Won’t be going back.

We have lived in Portland for 50 yrs and have never been here before. The food was excellent, the burgers are huge and delicious. Split a basket of fries. Excellent milkshakes too.
Loved meeting Howie, the werewolf. If you go by, stop, or you will be sorry you missed out.

Loved the burgers. Hamburger steak was amazing. The chicken was cooked awesomely. The onion rings are battered and not panko.shakes were nice and thick, The hot fudge shake was out of this world.

Accidentally time traveled to this nostalgic drive-in diner today. It was the bee’s knees. If you are in the mood for a no frills burger spot, Skyline is it. The diner has an easy going, casual atmosphere.. no muss..no fuss.. You can literally come here in your pajamas and no one will care. I could hardly believe my eyes to find a diner in the middle of the woods that has gluten free options on the menu. It is true. Soft, fluffy legit burger buns too. I got the cheeseburger, potato salad, and indulged in a cherry coke. Everything was perfect.
This place is frozen in time and serves as a reminder of days gone by. There happened to be a few beautiful classic cars parked outside that gave it an extra vintage vibe. There is booth style seating inside and a lovely covered dining area outside. The friendly servers were busy flying around feeding lots of hungry bellies. We got there early so we got a table right away, but the place filled up quickly. There was a line out the door so I have to hand it the entire staff for getting this many people fed.
I was baffled by some of the other negative reviews. It does prove that you should always give a place a try yourself before believing all the digital trash talk. In an effort to have a local spot’s back, I have addressed some of those issues below.
You may read other reviews about the prices, but this place is no different than any other place in America. To be fair, prices have gone up everywhere. This local place has not been spared from inflation and cannot operate at a loss folks. If it is too costly for you, no shame. It is okay to eat somewhere better aligned with your budget, but it is not okay to rate them low based on the price of food. Don’t get your poodle skirt in a twist… everything is up.
You may have also seen the post about not enough salt… you know what, there is a salt shaker right there on the table. Give that thing a little shaky shake.
As for the “cup not being pleasing” ” poor food presentation” & “frowning servers” .. It is just a cup. It is a good food in a basket. Food services employees are proned to burn out. They are human beings that deserve respect. They are not paid enough to put up with abuse, judgement, or entitlement. If you want fancy smancy food and servers with fake smiles, pretending to like you so you tip them, choose a different restaurant. Or better yet, eat at home. If there is an issue, tell the staff to their face and give them a chance to make it right before blasting them on the internet. People can easily come up with a million complaints, but rarely a single solution.
No, the bathrooms nor the building are wheelchair accessible so plan accordingly. The building is old and unfortunately disabled folks were not considered during construction planning for any building in the 1930s. Ableism and lack of mindfulness from back in the day are not today’s owner’s fault. If the owner updated the building to ADA standards, those complaining about burger price now would pass all the way out. I am disabled but not confined to a mobility aide 24/7 so I do understand the frustration with older buildings. The good news is that there are to-go and delivery options if you are unable to visit.
If you are still reading, seriously give this place a chance. It is worth going off the beaten path to try.
