I work downtown, and I usually want a quick lunch or snack so I can get right back to work. This is where I want to go more often! I had the everything bagel breakfast sandwich. Came out quick, it was fresh, bagel was great. Even better was the medium roast coffee. I don’t creamer in my coffee, but I appreciate all the choices for cream they have available.

Just stopped into Skyway Grill after a few years and was met with friendly staff and a great atmosphere. While I was waiting for my order, I met the owner Scott and had a quick friendly conversation with him before receiving my food. The A1 burger was made to perfect, nice thick cut bacon, a good amount of A1 sauce (not too much or too little) and a good portion of tater tots. Will definitely be back! P.S. The food is made fresh to order - Pedro from Cazales Hauling LLC (Owner)

I go in and on the menu "the Boss" looks like a tasty sandwich. Owner is taking the order and is a great human. Got the sandwich piping hot and went on my way. Well let me tell you what happened after that. I haven't been this frustrated in some time. I ate that sandwich so fast I still felt hungry. This sandwich was of considerable size, gone? Upon realizing I was out of bites I look down, and I see this delicious melted cheese and Chipotle spread considerably left across the wrapping...this cant be right. The owner never ONCE suggested I grab a utensil to scrape off that abandoned deliciousness. How embarrassing to have to duck under my desk so my coworkers couldn't see my deplorable licking of the wrapper. I will be back very soon, probably tomorrow, to make sure this doesn't happen again.

Yeah, others in my party had the lowertown burger. Very enthusiastic. I had the Skyway burger and was not fond of the skyway sauce. This is located on a “food court” in the downtown Skyway system. Show up during lunch and you can experience all the denizens of the downtown officedom. Staff are friendly and highly efficient. Now lunch is over a different more leisurely crowd is in attendance. Planning to visit downtown Saint Paul? Taking the kiddos to the Science Museum of Minnesota? You owe it to yerself and your family to take in this beautiful, classic space. Good place to go when released from the jury room over at the Ramsey County Courthouse … accessible through the skyway!

This was my first time at Skyway Grill and it was excellent. I had the A1 Burger which was very flavorful with its mixture of bacon, gouda and A1 sauce (hence the name). The tots were hot and crispy and just the slightest bit greasy - in other words, perfect! I'll definitely be back to explore all the other menu options.

This place is my favorite part about working downtown. They have great menu items, and by far my favorite is their breakfast! I get it the Denver scramble almost every time because it is SO good. The staff are always polite and welcoming. It's a great spot in the skyway.

I've tried a bunch of things from their menu, and everything is fantastic. The sweet potato tots with chipotle ranch are a favorite. Burgers are great, gyro is great, rueben is great - you name it, it's great. And the owner and staff are friendly and welcoming, and do an amazing job!
