Cheap Eats 2006

It's hard to pinpoint why Skyline Restaurant's burgers are so freaking good. Is it the slightly toasted, gingerly buttered bun? Or is it the juicy burger cooked on a griddle from the '30s that requires (at last count) at least six napkins? Perhaps it's the restaurant's location, glistening at the corner of Northwest Cornell Road and Skyline Boulevard like an oasis of red neon lights and wood paneling. Or maybe it's the old-fashioned prices (the signature Skyline cheeseburger with all the fixins is $3.70). At any rate, Skyline is what we call a good old-fashioned greasy spoon, featuring crispy onion rings, great burgers and a variety of shakes�and puts Burgerville to shame. (LS)
