About Us

The griddle at Skyline Luncheonette has been running since 1952, feeding the morning shift, the weekend crowd, and everyone in between. Regulars know to ask for the potato pancake without being told twice, and first-timers rarely leave without planning a return trip. With a 4.7-star rating built on 186 honest reviews, the kind of loyalty this place earns isn't bought with gimmicks.

The dining room is comfortable and lived-in, the way a good luncheonette should be. Booths fill early on weekends, servers know their tables, and the coffee comes fast. A recent expansion added elbow room without changing the feel. Familiar faces behind the counter, the same friendly rhythm, the same scratch cooking that made Skyline worth the drive up the hill.

Owner-operated and community-rooted, Skyline sits at the corner of good food and genuine hospitality. Breakfast is the anchor, but Tuesday through Friday the kitchen stays open until 8 PM, giving Ringwood a reliable dinner option that's harder to find than you'd think in these hills.

What We Offer

Breakfast runs deep here. Eggs over easy, fluffy omelets, stacks of pancakes, and the standout homemade corned beef hash that regulars rave about. The menu is broad enough that you'll spend a few minutes deciding, which is exactly the right problem to have at 7 AM.

Lunch and dinner round out the week Tuesday through Friday, stretching the kitchen's reach well past midday. The expanded dining area means you're less likely to wait for a table, though on Saturday and Sunday mornings, patience is still a virtue. Skyline also carries lotto, making it the kind of stop that handles more than one errand at once.

Every plate comes out of a kitchen that takes short-order cooking seriously. Nothing here is phoned in. The potato pancake alone is worth the trip up Skyline Drive.

"Food is excellent. Had breakfast, the empanada which came with a potato pancake draped in melted mozzarella that was out of this world. Also, the home made corn beef hash, also out of this world. Indoor and outdoor seating. Service was A+."
