I have been going to the Airport Cafe for years and have never had anything but top notch food and service. Staff are friendly and extremely polite while maintaining professionalism. I highly recommend them to everyone!

Very friendly café. Not a very big place. Very nice location, with a great view. Way out in the country.

I have been here before. Every time I come into town I like to grab a breakfast with my family. This time we had six but there was only four of us there. The place was empty (see pictures) and I was told to wait in the waiting area where you had to stand. I asked for a coffee and if the four of us could take a table for four and we can have the other two seated when they get there. The waitress was rude and not willing to accommodate the four that would clearly take an entire table. I understand there are rules to help when the place gets crowded (I posted sign). But you can clearly see the place was empty 10/30/25 @ 0930. The waitress served me coffee and I asked for creamer and she told me to get it from the table. The table that I wasn’t allowed to sit at. When I tried to speak to the waitress she continued to interrupt me and just said it is the rule because they could get a group of sixteen and then wouldn’t have room for them. Note: they have a side room for such large groups. I asked to speak to the manager and a younger lady came out and with a polite backhanded attitude told me exactly what the other lady had told me. After reading other reviews, this team seems to have set the tone for the customer service. Keep in mind this was on a Wednesday at 0900. The owner should really look into how they can keep the rules but have some flexibility. After talking to several of my friends who go there they said that they have taken a break from going there due to the customer service they received.

If it was possible, I wouldn’t give this place 1 star. My family and I went to have breakfast, to this location for the first time because my four year old and seven year old wanted to see the airplanes landing and taking off. It was a mistake to go. We were asked to go to the back sitting area to sit, and we did. After waiting for about 5-10 minutes an older (60-67) white short and stubby lady with glasses who looked kind reprimanded my family and I for sitting in that area, and I asked her if we should move she rudely said no to stay. After waiting another 10 minutes she came and took our order for drinks and left our menus. She returned after waiting another 10 minutes with our drinks and asked if we were ready to order and I asked her if she recommended something and she replied with so much disdain and said did we not read the menu I then asked if she had a kids menu and again she said if I needed more time to order because she didn’t think we were ready. My children and husband we in shock as I was! I was fuming with anger but kept my cool! We then order right then and she left. The drinks were basic I ordered black coffee which tasted just like sink water! My husband ordered a Pepsi which also tasted like sink water and my kids orange drinks I have no idea. Then she gave us 1 straw and was aware we needed 3 we were arid to ask her for anything so I went to the front and asked for a straw. When she brought our food it was as disappointing as this ladies attitude!! My BLT was super salty falling apart the fries smelled like friend fish full of salt! The same for my husbands food! I personally feel it was done on purpose! From the start when we arrived I can tell from the way she treated us that she was RACIST!!!! And wanted to make sure we weren’t welcome there! We will NOT be returning ever or recommending this place to anyone and want to make sure everyone knows how bad we were treated just because we are Hispanic! Never in my life have I ever been treated with so much contempt and disrespect! My advice is don’t go there! And if said waitress reads this review which I hope she does is that I have a high tolerance for ignorant people! Be kind!

Terrible service. The ladies were rude and took forever to seat us. The only decent one was the young lady. I would not recommend. If it was possible I would give zero stars

The food here at the Airway Cafe is really tasty. The menu has lots of items to choose from which are all mouth watering. I got the chicken breast sandwich and salad. The chicken breast was thick, tender, seasoned just right, and juicy.
I liked sitting in the booth looking out over the airfield and watching an occasional plane take off our land.
After lunch or dinner, go on over to the Eagle Mountain Casino and hopefully win a few dollars.

Service great and food so very delicious. Proportions just right. Can get busy so if your a big party expect to wait a little. Great views of tarmac. Definitely going back. They were able to accommodate my daughter who has a dairy allergy.

The girls there go out of their way to make sure your experience is always great. Debbie, Sarah and Vickie are all wonderful and make you feel like family

I've been coming here now for nearly 9 years now, and my review from 8 years ago still speaks the honest truth, and nothing has changed. If anything, it has improved.

The food was great and it was so fun watching the planes during our meal.

David Fink

WAY WAY WAY TO EXPENSIVE. 1 water , 1 ice tea , 2 biscuits and gravy was $ 25.56. Grease and bread !! I'll never eat there again

Nice little place at the airport. Food was good. Was able to get breakfast even at lunchtime, which was so good. Decent cup of bottomless coffee too.

For breakfast with my sister and nephew. Been there before but breakfast and a Bloody Mary I can recommend.

Easily one of very few great places to stop for breakfast, and lunch. I can only really speak for the breakfast, but I can safely assume the lunch they offer would be just as good as their breakfast. The portions are great, which can only be matched by how well everything is prepared. Plenty of options for breakfast and lunch, even a bar if you need pick me up for breakfast, I know I've indulged now and again. Especially after working first watch. The service is outstanding, friendly and fast without being pushy. The atmosphere is simple, and welcoming. I know my kids and I enjoy watching airplanes and helicopters come and go, makes it exciting for them. We all enjoy the Airway Cafe.
