I’d show up here for another breakfast because one Man named Arturo is probably the hardest working sweetest and pleasant person I’ve run into in a long time! Arturo deserves a raise! Obviously the view of sitting amongst the airport and watching the planes take off and land is pretty much amazing on its own! The food is not half bad either. Expect to spend for the breakfast and or lunch if you decide to stop in. With tip for two we were in the $40 range. Worth it for the experience, can make a similar or better quality breakfast at home for way less obviously but that’s not the reason we go out now is it! At the end of the day, I’d rate the whole experience at a 7.5 on the Portnoy Scale and a must try if you live in the area or like to get out of your comfort bubble and try something new.

Wonderful service, great atmosphere,great tasting food oh and did I say wonderful service. The waitress made sure our drink was full and not only that other waitress and who I believe is the owner kept making sure we were taken care of. First time there and definitely won't be the last.

I want to rate this higher. Good service. Good food. But nothing great (well, except all the airplanes if you an aviation geek/pilot like me). Though everything is fine, it's not special. Menu is standard and will have something for everyone. But not sure if you'll find some different here. But that's ok because, like I said, it's all good. Good outdoor seating for safety precautions as well. Worth a try.

This is our second time being here. It's always a great atmosphere for the kids to be able to watch the planes take off while eating their food. The prices are good and the food has always been delicious. I loved that they brought out the pancakes in the shape of a Mickey head, and that was without prompting from us. The blueberry pancakes were loaded with blueberries which was very nice as my kids love fruit! The staff has always been very friendly and we have never had to wait long for anything, even refills. Definitely something I highly recommend for anyone who is in the area. Even as an adult, we loved getting to sit outside and watch the planes take off and pull in to park. Can't beat the experience!
