The PrairieBistro cafe was actually a surprisingly good experience! Like a corner dinner from days gone by tucked into the corner of an airport. The fried pickles and fries with my food we're both well cooked, crispy without being soggy. Fries well spiced without going overboard. Hamburger was excellent.
I don't use these terms lightly, I really didn't expect much from what appears to be an airport dive, and the only place here, but it was a genuinely pleasant experience.
The setup tries perhaps to be too many things - diner, bar, and coffee location - yet as the only hot food location before security in a regional airport, it handles each of these needs competently. When flights com and go, the ebb and flow can reduce service give the staffing is pretty static, so make sure you have time when you sit down.

Compliments to the chef! We had the Southwest Scramble. It melted in the mouth. The decaf latte was perfect. Do be aware breakfast is over at 10:30 am. This place is new with an inviting atmosphere. It is so much better than the previous place. Nathan, the manager, was most accommodating when we shared a suggestion that cashier staff could pitch in when hot food comes up, if the server is occupied. All in all, a great place!

I am in a wheelchair and had a 90 minute layover at CID. Instead of leaving me out in the main lobby, the staff at PrairieBistro (Java Creek Cafe) assisted me over to their location and made me feel comfortable and secure. When my travel partner arrived, they extended their hospitality to him as well. Lunch was fantastic but the Customer Service is what I will remember best. Kudos to all.

Inside the cafe smelled like chlorine, bleach, and chemicals. Also it took around 20 min to make 2 pancakes and 2 sausages.

The fries were cold and soggy, and the pork tenderloin was all gristle. Very disappointed.

Nice different buffet to visit. Not your typical buffet food. Would go back

(Translated by Google) arrived in a hurry, a hamburger doesn't hurt before leaving

arrivato di corsa, un hamburger non guasta prima di partire
