On our way home (JAX) from West Palm Beach we decided to stop for lunch. We typically go to Trip Advisor to find something that looks like great food and isn’t a chain. Today we stumbled upon Downwind Cafe in the recommendations. The food was just average but the “experience” was fun. The cafe is located in the world’s largest “fly-in” community. Over 50% of the homes have attached hangars. There was constant air activity while we ate. Definitely a unique lunch spot...
Slow service mostly due to the kitchen and the water they give you smells and taste like chlorine or bleach. This is prob why the other fountain drinks and ice tea are awful. Bring your own bottled water when dinning here. Other places have found a way to filter it out but not this place.
Guard at the gate gave us great directions to enter the neighborhood. Planes moving very frequently but was not difficult to cross taxiway. Parking was easy. We had to wait but with all the planes flying around, it was a pleasure to wait. It felt like we were having an air show with the pilots flying in formation. Food was great! Son had a Benedict which kept him full till the end of the day. The English muffin was toasted so well. Definitely a place to return to.
