Great spot at Lincoln airport to grab a bite! Very chill and the service was great.

Great service, cute little cafe right on the airport. Avocado toast was legit! Lots of outdoor seating.

Great customer service. Always cheerful. We had the pulled pork sandwiches with Coleslaw. Great flavor. The side of fruit was fresh and tasty. Nice little on airport restaurant.

Hole in the wall with great vibes and cool people! And who doesn’t love the sound and views of airplanes ?

I have always read great reviews about this place- my husband I and decided to try it out on our anniversary this past Monday- Got there at 9:15am. It was closed. I called to see if anyone would answer or leave a message, unfortunately, the voicemail was full. I stopped into an office a few doors down and he again pointed me to the restaurant. Curtains closed, no 'OPEN' sign lit up. Drove all the way out to the airport for nothing. Certainly not a good first impression, not to mention, it was our anniversary!

Well after two visits this place is really great. The owner cooks you lunch, brings it out, handles the bill and exchanges a small bit of conversation. It is a very relax atmosphere that I really enjoy.

I'm not a private pilot but I've always had a keen interest in general aviation, airplanes and airports. Since you're here, you know that I'm a dedicated "foodie," as I LOVE to dine in as many restaurants as I can. Since I love general avaiation, I have a tendency to visit restaurants at small airports, as that was I can combine two hobbies. Recently, I heard about The Spitfire Cafe, located at the Lincoln Regional Airport - LHM - and today seemed like a perfect day to pay this fine restaurant a visit. The Spitfire Cafe is located on Flightline Drive, next to the runway of Lincoln Regional Airport, LHM. If you love fine dining and general aviation, this restaurant is for you. It's a destination for private pilots who enjoy a great sandwich, and much more. As you enter the restaurant, you'll be noticed the greeting/order counter, and the menu, printed on a white board. The Spitfire Cafe operates on what I call the "taqueria" format, in that there are no printed menus, and you place your order from the overhead menu and pay for it at the menu. Then, you receive a number and when ready, your order will be brought to your table. I was given a small "38" which I found quite humorous, as I was the only customer, and it didn't seem that it would be difficult to locate me. This format is the way most taquerias operate, hence the nickname I've given it. The dining room is small... very small, and includes exactly two tables. There are counters against the wall, so single diners can "face the wall" while dining. As you're expect, the decor is aviation-themed, since the restaurant is located next to the runway of the Lincoln Regional Airport. From the "Flagship Sandwich" side of the "Lunch Menu," I went with the "Italian Hottie" which is at the top of the sandwich menu, and is the "signature" sandwich of The Spitfire Cafe. The web site describes this delicious sandwich as, "By far our post popular lunch item. And who could blame them? Smoked turkey, smoked provolone, salami, roasted red bell pepper, kale and smoked ham on a square ciabatta bun, grilled to perfection, oozing with gooey, cheesy goodness. Ciao baby!" The menu didn't mention that a sport pepper, a slice of dill pickle, and an olive were included, but they certainly enhanced the amazing perfection, and added a tasty treat. Choice of sides include potato salad, soup, salad, chips or fresh fruit. My dilemma was... potato salad or soup? I didn't even ask what soup was being served today, so I went with potato salad. Great choice! The sandwich starts with a square ciabatta roll that was buttered and toasted to a crunchy,perfect brown on the outside, yet chewy on the inside, which made a perfect foundation for a wonderful sandwich. Gosh, what an amazing roll! Like the menu advertised, the roll was perfectly grilled, and absolutely delicious. Several slices of turkey, salami and a slice of provolone cheese were placed on the roll. Kale was on top of the cheese, along with several slices of grilled red bell pepper. The provolone was melted just a little, which is perfect in my sandwich book. There was a welcome surprise: Pesto was used for enhancement, as this amazing sandwich didn't need any mustard or mayo. The combination fresh, locally sourced ingredients, and the skill of the sandwich chefs made for an amazing sandwich! It's au natural and simply delicious. I suspect after the sandwich was assembled it was put in a pannini press, as the outside of the ciabatta roll was, in the words of the menu, "grilled to perfection." Ciao baby! My side of choice was potato salad, and I received a couple of ice cream scoop-sized scoops of potato salad. It was definitely on the "chunky side," lacking any mustard, with lots of diced, red bell pepper, and a few slices of diced red onion. I like my potato salad on the "chunky" side, and Spitfire's potato salad made an outstanding side to my delicious san

Great little “hole in the wall”. There is magic in the waffles and nothing on the menu will disappoint!

Whether you are flying or driving in, this is a great little spot on the airport to have a bite to eat! I highly suggest the fruit waffles! They were nice and buttery and topped with just enough fruit and whipped cream to leave you satisfied! The Hottie Italian and Pulled Pork sandwich were also delicious! Don't takeoff without stopping in!
Tasty treats and a wonderful spot for breakfast or lunch. Highly recommend! Try the Italian Hottie!

Update: Taking my third set of pilots and guests to this delicious restaurant!
The food is so good. The service excellent, and the motif is fun! Happy I went to this hip restaurant made for pilots and passengers! Something for everyone. They even made my instructor a drink not on the menu without a blink of an eye! People complimenting the waffles (so yummy, I had on my second trip) and everyone loving all the food, I saw so many gorgeous plates of food with fresh fruit and a little toasted coconut.
Can’t wait to go back!
Yeah so nice to have a great place this far north!

We’ve been here several times and never left disappointed. The waffles, bagels, and sandwiches are perfection on a plate. Everything has a hint of uniqueness that keeps us coming back.
We brought our 11 month old recently and there weren’t high chairs. We have a travel pod seat thing so it worked fine but may deter some parents from bringing small ones.
Can’t wait to come back after the remodel in May!
