This place has a really good breakfast. Also, I like the hamburger, but to be honest, the menu after breakfast is a little short. Service is excellent

friendly staff, the food is delicious, with nice view to the airport runway. Prices are fair.

Set on an air strip, this establishment offers excellent American cuisine. The portions are fit for a king, and the staff very friendly. Extremely work and family friendly, families and their children will love dining on an active air strip with planes coming and going right outside the large windows. There's also a wonderful patio giving even more of the airstrip effect that will keep you looking to see what's coming and going while experiencing great food. You and your friends and family have to experience this understated hidden treasure, you'll definitely have a great new experience! -Derrick LB

It's totally awesome. We rode our bikes 25 miles from Washington Crossing in Pennsylvania. It was an absolutely lovely midpoint of our ride to stop. We were welcomed with our bikes. It was a hot day, and we were promptly seated inside. The food was tasty. I had a burger with potato fries. Nice place! Great atmosphere. I will be back.

I deeply despise the term "hidden gem," but I'm hard-pressed not to use it here. This place is in the middle of nowhere, and I was only aware of its existence from local word of mouth, despite this being essentially my original HQ and my high school being a very short ride down the road (and good luck even seeing this from the road). Subtle doesn't even begin to describe this location.
I came here this past Sunday for lunch with some chums, including two honorary young pup chums. The young pups were primarily brought along in the hopes that there might be some airplane action optics for them, so on that basis alone it was a success - we had at least two planes land in front of the windows, prompting a mixture of squeals and shushes. We also took a quick walk outside afterwards to look at the planes parked (feels like there must be a better word it) off to the side of the runway, which was an exciting mini-adventure for them despite the nippiness. Just to underscore the random area this is in, you have to drive off a county highway past the entrance to Beneduce, and then into the Sky Manor Airport, which requires driving all the way around and behind the airport buildings until you ultimately arrive at the restaurant. You earn this one.
The interior of this place is pretty memorable too - I've been in a few local airport cafes before, and this is on par with them. Lots of wood paneling that feels like an unintentional homage to everyone's grandparents' basement (where were the Dean Martin records?), coupled with airplane swag on the walls and just an overall old school diner feel. I don't know that this restaurant is necessarily historic in the sense that it's been here for decades, but it's cozy and seems lived in, if that makes sense. Very cool.
I'd been emotionally preparing for breakfast/brunch but didn't realize that that specific menu cuts off before noon, so I hemmed and hawed quite a bit at the lunch menu. None of the burgers or sandwiches were really speaking to me so I went with the Arugula Salad with the grilled chicken add-on, featuring sweet potatoes, cranberries and a soft boiled egg. It's pretty rare for me to go salad, but this is the kind of I'm into, and it delivered. Huge portion (I was decently hungry and probably left a quarter of it on the plate), and all of the sweet and savory perfectly complemented each other. If you're into salad chains, it reminded me a lot of the harvest bowl option at Chopt or Sweet Green but honestly better.
The one miss for me was dessert. The pups were clamoring for chocolate cake, so I agreed to split a slice of the red velvet with my chum. I had a bad feeling when I stuck my fork into the side and actually had trouble getting a bite size worth separated from the rest of the slice - it was that stale. I'm guessing that particular cake was at least a day old, which literally and figuratively left a bit of a bad taste in the mouth. Pretty avoidable mistake, in my opinion. The pups seemed delighted with their option, so I suppose you take the victories where you can.
The service was very good. The young pups probably prompted the hospitality to tick up a notch, which is more than fine. Our waitress was very friendly and stopped by regularly. When we ordered the chocolate cake for the pups to split, she then sliced that up on her own initiative so each pup actually got their own small slice. Nice touch.
Would love to try out the breakfast menu in the future, which probably has more intriguing options overall for me but regardless this was a solid win to jumpstart the year. I imagine the airport optics are also way better when you have the luxury of hanging out outside in non-polar vortex weather.

Eat here every year for many years as a Christmas tradition prior to getting our tree. We usually praise this place other than being very crowded and usually having a wait . This year there was no wait and it wasn't crowded at all and I think I know why. The service was poor, the staff was not very nice or friendly, and the food was not nearly as good as in the past. Nobody greeted us at all or said anything as we left as they have in the past. Staff had been visibly annoyed by some of our requests (such as requesting our coffee to be filled) as well as by other patrons interactions with them. We were all very disappointed and will not be going back next year for our annual Christmas tradition.

Cool little place with hearty food and friendly service.
But dress warm! The temperature in the entire dining room gets a blast of cold winter air every time the door is opens.
It is a fun, unique place to go for breakfast food.
Wheelchair accessibility: They were very accommodating.
