Foodie Friday: Blue Skye Brewery and Eats - Salina, KS
This week’s Foodie Friday restaurant was kind of a spur of the moment
pick after our initial restaurant wasn’t going to fly for a lovely meatless
Friday in Lent! Hope you enjoy reading about this brewery!

Easy to find this brewery is located on Salina’s “downtown” street. Even though it was a Friday night Justin
and I were able to park almost right in front of the brewery and walked
inside the building which is much bigger on the inside than it appears.

It is seat yourself so I grabbed us a two person table right inside the
door. (In hindsight this was probably not the best idea because it was
cold outside and every time the door opened we were hit with a blast of cold
air, but I was too chicken to walk in further and look for another table. lol)
.
.
Our waitress arrived at our table really quickly and took our drink
orders. I, of course, had water (I know, who goes to a brewery and
doesn’t drink?! Lol) and Justin ordered their Fire Engine Red brew.
.
.
We perused the menu looking over their meatless options (which
they actually had a decent amount of) and after our waitress
returned with our drinks we put in our orders.
.
We decided we wanted to start with an appetizer of cheesy pizza sticks.
.
.
Overall, I thought the pizza sticks were good, but I think they could
have used more sauce. They do come with a side of marinara for
dipping, but I think putting sauce on the sticks also would really
take them to the next level.
.
For our main dishes Justin ordered the full order of fish and chips
and we were both quite surprised by the size of the meal
when it came out. You definitely get your money’s worth of fish!
.
.
Justin also ordered another one of their beers, this time the Jalapeno
Cream Ale. He said he liked the Fire Engine one a lot better though. Lol
.
.
I ordered the Mac N Cheese burger with a black bean burger rather
than the normal ⅓ lb burger. My only complaint with my burger is
that I wish the mac n cheese was a little cheesier.
.
.
In the end both Justin and I agreed the food was good with him giving it an 8/10 overall.
However, I have to say their fries were straight AMAZING. 11/10. They were like if you
took McDonald’s salty seasoning and put that on Burger King’s fries.
Oh, I could eat just those for every meal. 🤤

The service at Blue Skye was excellent. Our waitress was extremely attentive and we hardly
had to wait at all for her to come take our orders or bring our food out. I also really
liked the atmosphere inside. It just felt like a good place to go with friends
and I think it would be fun on a game day! The food I think could use
just a little bit more flavor, but I definitely want to go back when I can
have something with meat in it to really be a better judge. Overall, good job Blue Skye and I will be seeing you again!
