“10/10 service, staff, and food. Very friendly and courteous staff. One of the workers went out of her way to hold the door for me on the way in and when I thanked her she kindly smiled and said, "You're welcome, sir." Then the young man at the counter greeted me right away and asked if I would like a menu. I told him I was from out of town and state and that this was my first time eating at a Skyline and he promptly walked through each of the options with me to give me an idea of all the ways I could have Skyline Chili. I really appreciated this. Everyone there was very polite, courteous, and friendly. Food was ready in a couple minutes and was delicious, reasonably priced, included large portions and plenty of extra onions, fresh cheese, and crackers, more than enough to have with the entire meal. Thank you Skyline crew on Hansel Avenue! I felt very welcome and valued as a customer, and was treated with kindness and respect on this my first visit to Kentucky and to a Skyline on 5/18/2024 at around 5pm.“

The Rueben is of course absolutely to die for, but the pastrami on pretzel roll is a whole another kind of amazing! We will most definitely be back! And the drive-thru employee that took our order was 110% top-notch as far as friendliness, familiarity with the menu and being able to recommend to customers who had never had an Izzy’s sandwich before! He was also super patient with my husband and myself!“

“Strong's has really good pizza. I'm a pepperoni topping fan and they do it right, even though it's not a primary menu item.

Some things to consider:

1. The $7.50 mozarella sticks were a disappointment. The advertised photo lead me to believe they were jumbo sized. I don't think it's intentionally misleading but be aware that they're no different in size than frozen mozarella sticks from the grocery store. I felt the same about the taste as well.

2. The online ordering system automatically selects a 20% tip and adds two service fees: I was charged a $0.75 fee and a $0.25 fee. So if you're in a hurry and clicking through the checkout process you'll probably miss that 20% tip like I did. I don't fault Strong's; I believe it's the ordering platform they're using that does this. My recommendation is to call Strong's and place the order via phone instead to avoid this.

3. I live 15 minutes away and every time I pickup and drive home, the pizza is fairly cold by the time I get home. I order from other take-out pizza shops in the Union and Walton area and Strong's is the only one that is somewhat cold by the time I get home. Perhaps they don't keep the to-go orders on a heated tray? Regardless it's still worth it and we enjoy it.

This is one of my top pizza places in the Union/Walton area.

Parking: There is no parking lot access from the Rt 42 entrance to that business plaza. However, you can park next to their parking lot and walk across the 15' landscaping to get to the restaurant.“

“The food was accurate and delicious. We got take out as we usually do. They were very busy so I decided to go in, both to get my good quicker and be considerate since they were so busy. The ladies at the hostess counter were going through the bags receipts seeing who tipped and who didn't and proceeded to say they would keep those that didn't tip waiting. Now I'm not fully against tip culture, but this didn't seem right to keep people waiting indefenitly or serving them cold food just because they may not have tipped. Just wanted to warn other people who may be ordering carey out and wondering why everyone else got their food before them.“

“This is my favorite restaurant on campus and one of my favorite pizza places ever. The only reason it's missing a star is because they sometimes take the thin crust to the extreme. And I mean sometimes it's so thin it feels like the pizza is gonna disintegrate when I pick it up. I feel like this has happened more often than not this semester, and today was especially bad. The crust on about 1/3 of my slice was as thin as the cheese.“

“I've been to other Noodles And Company locations but this was my first visit to this particular location. They have pasta dishes from all across the world. Normally I tend to favour the Wisconsin Mac And Cheese with shrimp on top. I decided to change it up and tried the Spicy Korean Beef Noodles. It's a bowl of Lo Mein, Korean BBQ sauce, steak, cabbage, spinach, cucumber, and cilantro. The sauce was delightful and the steak pieces were excellent as well. The dish was pretty good except for the aggressive use of cilantro. Cilantro is a very dominant flavour and it just drowned out a lot of the great Korean BBQ flavour which was very unfortunate. Take the cilantro away and this would be 1000 times better. This location had full dine in as well as outside eating options. We decided to eat outside as it was a beautiful day out and it was a very pleasant experience out there. The staff was all great as well. Next time I'll stick with the Wisconsin Mac And Cheese and call it a day.“
