“ Great portions, Great Bloody Mary, great views of planes. Sitting outside is the best with shade and fans to keep you cool in summer ”
“ Yummy breakfast with a great view! The wait staff is attentive for this busy cafe. Expect to wait for a table but sitting on the patio watching planes land and take off is perfection! ”
“ Stopped by the restaurant today, a Wednesday, for lunch. Service was great, no rush, and food was served without delay. Menu has numerous breakfast and lunch choices. Outdoor covered patio is nice when sun is out. Planes and runway are easily visible. Glad the restaurant is operating as many on airport diners have disappeared. ”
“ Always a good place to start your day. You can sit outside and watch planes, and sometimes helicopters, take off and land while you dine. It's cafe styled home cooking. Think of your mom being your short order cook. Breakfast until sometime around 11. It's not a hard and fast time. But once they switch to lunch, there's not going back to breakfast. Lots of good options for both, so no worries. When the owner comes in, he speaks to everyone. Checks in on each employee. I like that. Then he helps out. Makes for what appears to be a good work environment so we can enjoy our meal. ”
“ Perfect greasy spoon, which is exactly what I was looking for. You feel like you are walking into flow's diner. I went with the biscuits and gravy, which was two full biscuits and a perfect gravy with just a little bit of kick.. Being that it was the weekend, it was packed and there was a sign-in sheet to get seated. Who would've known this little hidden gem perfect for families or just a quick breakfast at the counter for one was even here?! Service was great as this is clearly a well seasoned staff. No pun intended. Get up on the second deck just to see what's happening on the tarmac at the small municipal airport before getting seated or after. ”
“ First time coming here , I had heard so many good things about it. It's open from 7-2pm located in the Chandler Municipal Airpark. It is small inside with some outside seating so you cold wait 20-30 min before being seated. We ordered the Hangar green chile burrito with the pork, Lily's Breakfast Sandwich and French toast for the kids . Breakfast is basic but good here nothing over the top fancy just good food and great views of planes taking off and landing ”
“ A local cafe with a local diner feel. This is my second time visiting this nostalgic eatery in the Chandler municipal airport. On Sat March 16th, around noon, this place had 85% of the seats occupied. Airport staff, visitors, children and small plane enthusiasts made up the diverse mix of patrons. The aroma of freshly cooked burgers filled the air as we were seated at a table. I don't have fond memories of the food from my last visit but the Philly Steak sandwich I had on this visit will be fondly remembered! The thinly sliced rib eye, grilled onions and peppers were phenomenal on the toasted french roll! The expertly grilled vegetables elevated this entree for me. I was excited about trying the in house made potato salad but was disappointed due to its mushness and being served chilled would have enhanced its appeal. Basic was the side salad for $5.00 but I felt I should get more vegetables! ;) For me there were hIghs and lows but the philly steak stole the show! ”
“ This place is a diner near the Chandler Municipal Airport's public airplane hangers. You can eat inside or outside and see the planes coming and going. It's specifically good for kids to enjoy seeing the planes! We liked our food, nice service and interesting decorations. ”
