| - I went to Skyland for breakfast at lunchtime with a few friends, one of whom was a Skyland regular several years ago. I consider myself quite the connoisseur of breakfast food. Not only do I make a good breakfast, but I have had more than my fair share out, so I take breakfast pretty seriously. At Skyland, I was not overwhelmed, but certainly not disappointed. I love that it is 24/7 breakfast service, which makes it better than a lot of places, in my opinion. I had grits, toast, and a veggie omelette. The grits were good--pretty thick. I generally prefer runnier grits, but I nearly polished these off with no problem. The omelette was alright. Not well-seasoned, but did have tons of veggies that seemed pretty fresh. I also stole a few onion rings from my friend, which were like normal onion rings you would find anywhere.
I got a chicken parmesan sub to go for my husband. He said he would definitely have it again, then went on a long tirade about how difficult the 5-star system is. He decided that 7-out-of-ten stars would be perfect for this sub. I stopped listening after that.
My friends got the same sub--an Italian sandwich, with really thick sliced salami and sausage. One loved it, one did not. So, just make sure you like thickly-sliced sausage before ordering. I heard that the banana pudding was also excellent (though I hate fake banana taste, so I wouldn't touch it.)
The atmosphere was enjoyable, if only for the kitsch factor. Our waitress was attentive, but not annoying, which I always enjoy. I will definitely be going back for breakfast.
