Great burgers and fries. I especially liked the options for adding green Chile to the burgers. I don’t really care for the way they just put a number up on a single screen for the orders. You basically have to stare at the pickup desk so you don’t miss your order. Other than that, it’s a great place for a casual meal.
Love the outdoor area at this location! It's usually super packed. I went during a calm time and had an enjoyable lunch.
I hadn’t been in for awhile and stopped for lunch today. I had the standard cheeseburger just the way they make it and a large french fry. I was not disappointed. They were fantastic. The tables were clean and the service was friendly. I need to go back soon!
My Texas family frequent this restaurant frequently, but this was my first time. The food was great. Might be a little pricey for burgers, but it is really good. If I lived here, it would definitely be an establishment that I would eat at often. Would be nice if they expand to Florida.
One dark and stormy night we visited Blue Sky as we were traveling from the west to the east coast. As we stood in line studying the menu, a local mentioned to us that "everything is good here." She said she especially likes the cheeseburger with green chilies, so that is what I ordered. My wife ordered a cheeseburger with chili, and we also got a combination shoestring fries/onion rings basket and two large drinks. Now, let me tell you about the drinks. Blue Sky has a good variety of soft drinks (and beer), but the thing that caught our eye was the iced tea. Adjacent to the soft drink machine were eight dispensers lined up, each containing a different variety of iced tea. Yes, eight varieties of freshly brewed tea! Who does that? I got the coconut iced tea and my wife tried the peach iced tea. Both were delicious! I had never tasted coconut iced tea before, and I found it to be quite refreshing! We sat down at one of the tables (the place was busy, but there are a lot of booths and tables available, so finding a seat was not a problem). A few minutes later our number appeared on a "serving now" screen and we picked up our order. The burgers feature 100% ground chuck, and they tasted as good as they looked. Both the green chilies and the red chili complimented the burgers nicely. Everything on the burgers was fresh and of the highest quality. The shoestring potatoes were tasty, although I prefer a fry with a little more crunch, but we both loved the onion rings! They appear to be hand breaded, and the crunchy exterior around the perfectly cooked onions could not have been tastier! Blue Sky has lots more to offer besides burgers, including salads, hot dogs, sandwiches, chicken tenders, and tons of appetizers. We also saw a couple shakes that another table had ordered and they looked like they came from a 1950s soda fountain, hand blended and topped with a generous helping of whipped cream and a cherry. We loved our visit, and my only regret is that there isn't a Blue Sky anywhere near where I live!
