I was out holiday shopping in the strip mall that this skyline is apart of. I've never tried skyline chili and thought it sounded good on a cold winter evening. I stepped inside the restaurant and went to head to the restroom to relieve myself before having dinner when a middle aged white haired lady behind the counter said loudly, “is this for here or to go?”. I politely stated I was heading to the restroom and she replied rudely with, “IT'S FOR CUSTOMERS ONLY!”. I was pretty taken aback and asked her if there was anywhere nearby she knew of that I could use the restroom and she replied with a short no that resonated with annoyance.
The experience left me feeling offended. I feel I was treated inhumane. I was excited to try skyline chili but I refuse to spend my money where I feel I was degraded. This woman should learn more about the service industry or be terminated for her outbursts.

The place was clean, staff was friendly and prompt, and the order took maybe 2 minutes to come after ordered.
That said, there's no beer. I rarely eat out, but I expect a modern restaurant to have beer. I even checked with Google if Skyline servered it. While the chili is good with a Greek twist, it wasn't going to win a competition. The layout of the store is similar to a sub shop, and there was only 1 other customer. The restaurant felt static, generic, and while nicely color coordinated, it just felt plain. Think "nice truckstop" vibe.
This was my first and only time going. I won't be back again.
