Consistant quality and food. Family run business for 10 years. Under new Ownership in January, committed to continuing with the same menu, service and friendly service. A huge shout out to the past owners, a hue welcome to the new team and family.

Stopped here on our way back from camping and ordered the Chinese Combination dinner for 3 - egg rolls, special fried rice, sesame chicken, bbq pork mixed greens and ginger beef. All was fabulous! Ginger beef was nice a crispy, broccoli didn't have that congealed substance that you normally find on Chinese mixed greens and was perfectly cooked crisp, rice was nice and flavourful and not dry. We weren't sure what to expect with the sesame chicken as we'd never recalled seeing it on a Chinese menu before but we were very happy with it, a new favourite of my husband's now. All in all, highly recommended!

While on a trip to Cold Lake my wife and I stopped at the Skyway on 28 for a brunch. We were immediately interested in the decor and in a sense, retro interior. Classic in design, the menu was straight forward. We ordered a breakfast meal. The meal was excellent in flavor, quality and quantity. Service was good as well. One can sense the effort put in by the kitchen staff - they care about what they serve. A thank you to the owners. On our next trip in the area, we will certainly stop in for a bite.
