We had lunch here this week, and everything was fantastic! The staff was very attentive, but still laid back. The restaurant had a very cool view of the airfield. The food was AWESOME!! I had the turkey club with fries. The sandwich was great, and the fries were super fresh and crispy. We will absolutely be going back.

One of my favorite go to stops for great tasting food. I love their freshly cut Turkey with Mayo and Tomatos, the French fries are brilliant. I usually top that off with the best Grilled Cheese Sandwich hands down the finest in Atlanta. The French fries and Potato salad are great side dishes for these sandwiches. Wife had the Jambalaya, Blackned Grouper and Fried Pickels. Don't expect posh dining here, just expect great food, service and prices.Kid-friendliness: Perfect place to take them.

I can't rate the food because we didn't eat, but I look forward to coming back for the BLT. And the crinkle fries looked pretty good. I noticed the entrees were served on cute floral plates. We stopped in to support a friend hosting her first open mic night. The talent was top notch. The atmosphere is low-key and the decor reminds me a bit of what might be found in a young boy's room, but I loved it. I'd be lying if I said I didn't have models of an F-14 and A-10 hanging from my ceiling when I was a kid. We look forward to coming back and hanging out to watch the air traffic. Not an obvious place to find though. When you turn in, follow rhe road all the way back and bare to the left and around the bend. Upstairs, stairs are on the left and then go right. Plenty of parking.

Location Location, Location! ✈️?? Can't get any closer to watching planes land and take off. This is such a cute little restaurant with an outstanding experience! We weren't really impressed with the food..

I’ve never heard of this nor was there any mention of it on menu or from waiter. There was less than 1 cherry tomato ? and 4-5 slivers of shredded cheese. Food tasted bad as well. Instead of downwind it’s down hill. We won’t be back. Ps the food also tasted nasty. I barely ate any leaving it. Told waiter no to taking home for later. The place also seemed dirty to me. should have been a sign but used to really like this place. Too bad it is really bad now. The location is great. Hopefully, they’ll close and a really good restaurant will open up. Note, no elevator so handicapped, beware.

Love this place. It’s not a Michelin starred restaurant of course, but for better than expected food in a great location, it’s hard to beat. Views of the PDK runway are fun, and on nice days, sitting on the deck is the best.

This is a unique experience at the Peachtree Dekalb Airport. It is on the second floor of what was a WW1 and WW2 military training camp. This place has lots of history. You can sit very close to the runways and watch the planes take off and land with inside or outside dining. You can also talk to people who just landed in their private plane. The service is great and the food tastes incredible. I keep coming back.Kid-friendliness: Kids enjoy watching the planes. There is a kids menu

Cozy restaurant tucked inside the DeKalb Peachtree airport. Went for the karaoke and will definitely be back to check out their other events. The staff was warm and welcoming. Can't wait to go back!

It’s a little confusing on the way in, but the last “road” is the slight left that takes you around the building to the parking lot, then the restaurant is upstairs and to the right.The food is good diner food and the menu has something for everyone. My group had Greek gyro, fish and chips, and country fried steak and everyone seemed happy. The main attraction is that the patio is overlooking the central runway of the airport which makes this an excellent location for plane spotting.Overall, had a good experience and will definitely return.

I enjoy this place because the sandwiches are so yummy! I've had the club, the chicken sandwich, blackened chicken and the BLT. I asked for pepper Jack and bacon on my blackened chicken sandwich. The best! The cook knows exactly how to grill chicken. It's juicy every time. Their BLT is LOADED with thickly cut bacon. To die for! It is most enjoyable to watch the planes land, too. If you don't mind the outdated surroundings, then give it a try.

Our son was discharged from CHOA from his 6th procedure and he LOVES planes and helicopters. They gave us a front row seat to all the planes and helicopters and gave our sweet boy an experience he will never forget. We are forever greatful for their fantastic staff and great food.
