This is my second time here. My first time was roughly 4yrs ago. First time, came for the experience and their all you can eat Fish Fry on Wednesdays and Fridays. This time, had a craving for some AYCE fish fry and was so excited they still have the same deal. I tell myself to try other options but always go back to the fish. I came here with my family... fish and of course the experience of looking out the airport and seeing all the different planes with my kids. My kids very much enjoyed it. There wasn't a fish fry option on the kids' menu but they were very happy to accommodate. My oldest doesn't eat seafood or rarely, but he requested that he wanted the same meal the family is getting. The portions are very big which made the plate look super appealing and ready to devour. Let me tell you, seeing the pieces of fish (including the kids') I'm happy that this restaurant wants their customers to be happy. My oldest and husband was able to finish the plate and could maybe go for a smaller next but decided they didn't want to over stuffed and feel like a ball rolling out this place. The soup was great. My younger kids finished their meal and the soup they ordered (2 split a bowl). My husband and kids said the soda was great that it was really carbonated. We didn't order desserts after being full. The workers were all very friendly, especially our waitress. Washroom was clean. The waiting area with the airplane seats was a cool idea and my kids got to experience sitting in them. Although, I didn't see anyone cleaning those seats and the surrounding of the seats, I would hope they do occasionally wipe them down because everyone likes to touch it and play imagination. This is definitely a cool place to check out at least once. The pic with the fish and fries is a kid size portion, the adult portion is much bigger and comes with fries, hush puppies, coleslaw,, and either soup or salad.

We were seated promptly to a clean table. Our waitress has working hard to fulfill our drink requests, get our soups delivered to our table and get our food delivered when it was ready to our table. We I encountered a issue with my meal, she immediately took action and made sure the dish was corrected and brought to our table as soon as possible. The restaurant decor is made up of several large model airplanes hanging from the ceiling and a large wooden plane expanding across the restaurant. Take a trip to this hidden gem located at the Schaumburg airport and perhaps you'll get to see a plane take off while enjoying some of their delicious dishes.

My son loved this place with all the airplanes hanging and that were outside. We wish we could have seen more planes coming in and going out, but overall we enjoyed our experience. We most definitely would be back again. Thank you!

We love going to themed restaurants so when we stumbled across this restaurant online we had to take the drive out there. The place was amazing. The drinks were fabulous, our food was delicious. So much food! The prices were good. The atmosphere was great. And the staff was friendly. Love all the cool planes. Next time we will ask for a window seat so we can see the planes coming and going. We will definitely be back.

Let me start off by saying the food was great, the service was on the other hand the worst service I’ve ever had. Me being Hispanic the waiters would seem to ignore us. They didn’t even bring us silverware, straws or napkins we had to ask for them multiple times we had Christina as our waitress and she was rude and completely dismissed us when it came to service. You could tell the difference in service compared with other tables. We sat in one of the tables by the front near the “old phone booth” and they moved us to the back to a small table. I asked to speak to a manager he/she never came . Was there for about 45 minutes and decided to leave before even finishing our food . If your white this is definitely a great place to eat but if you’re Hispanic or any other shade I’d completely stay away from dining in you’ll be the difference in service right away.

Just recently Went on March 8, 2022 for my Uncles Birthday. I called the restaurant to ask for a Reservation. But unfortunately, they don't take reservations. We got there about 6pm. The restaurant looked really Cool with the small airplanes surrounding it. Walked inside to find Airplane Chairs in the Lobby, Modeled Airplanes on the Ceiling.
They sat us right next to the kitchen. We ordered the First Class Lobster Salad Nachos which were really good. My Unlce asked for Tobasco sauce to eat with them and the server brought us a bottle with hardly any sauce inside. Pretty disappointed that a restaurant that big didn't have any Tobasco Sauce bottles filled.
Anyways, Moving on to the next item we ordered. The Fried Calamari was really good and they gave a big portion but they gave us a 2 oz container of cocktail sauce. Which was hardly enough.
We ordered the Guava Mango BBQ Ribs with a Baked Potato the size of my arm. (They were pretty good but a bit too sweet for my likeing.)
Also ordered the Coconut Shrimp (tasted really good with the balances of flavors. Sweet, Sour and Coconuty.)
Firecracker Shrimp was very disappointing (broiled Shrimp with a Siracha Mayo Sauce with Avocado, tomatoes & lettuce) didn't have much flavor.
Fish n Chips were good. Gigantic fish strips (tasted very fresh).
We asked for Extra napkins for the table and the server brought us only one. We ended up asking the bus boy for more napkins because there were 5 of us at the Table. The Server never came back to fill our drinks. Overall, the restaurant was ok. I wouldn't come out of my way to come back.

We were there on a Saturday with a party of 9. I called ahead to try to make a reservation but they said I couldn't do that, but I could join a waitlist on Yelp. So I did that.
We joined the waitlist about 45 minutes before we arrived and still had several people ahead of us, which was fine. The estimated time for us to be seated was about 10 minutes after we arrived but we still ended up sitting there for a little over an hour waiting for a table. We would have gone somewhere else but my daughter is 9 months pregnant and all of the restaurants in that area seemed to be pretty busy. I figured it would be easier to just wait.
When we were seated, we were grated pretty quickly and had our drink and appetizer orders taken. The drinks and appetizers came out pretty fast. While everyone was eating, a gentleman approached the table with two other appetizers and smiled and put them down. We thought perhaps it was because of the long wait and we had a large party, but apparently he delivered the food to the wrong table. Our server came back and asked if we ordered those things and I said no, I thought it was complimentary. I've been to restaurants where we were given complementary items for having to wait, or because we had a large party, so I didn't really question it. She seemed a little irritated with us for accepting it, but the guy literally just sat the stuff down, quickly smiled, and left before anyone had a chance to say anything.
Everyone's food was good. I had the coconut shrimp which I felt were a little too large. They were really good, but a little on the tough side. I had loaded tater tots on the side and I didn't care for that cheese sauce on them, it kind of tasted like melted American cheese and I wasn't really a fan. My daughter had the same thing and also agreed about the cheese.
I think we'll probably go back again at some point, but it's not something I would rush to do.

OUTSTANDING 1ST EXPERIENCE! Those chicken tenders are addicting! Our server was AMAZING. She was so sweet and she checked to make sure we were enjoying our night. She was personable & kind. The Pete's shepered pie was delicious. We ended the night with bread pudding. Yum. We even got to see the helicopter take off. Tonight was wonderful. We definitely will be back.
