This place is small so there may be a wait to be seated. Very casual atmosphere and vintage diner vibes. The service and food were good. Typical diner fare. I really enjoyed the onion rings which were sooo crispy and flavorful. There's a view of the airplane parking so you can see folks taking off and landing, which was fun. read more

've flown into Gillespie County Airport a few times now, and every time I've made it a point to stop by Airport Diner. After three visits, I kept hoping things would improve--but it feels like this place is leaning more on its location than the actual dining experience. First off, the setting is awesome. You're literally right on the ramp watching planes come and go--it's a great vibe and honestly the main reason to visit. But beyond that, things start to fall off. Each time I've been here, they've seemed understaffed. It's a seat-yourself setup, but even after sitting down, service can be pretty slow. On more than one visit, parts of the menu weren't available, and on my last trip, the kitchen wasn't even taking breakfast orders because they were too backed up. Food has been inconsistent: * Breakfast tacos were just okay * Eggs came out overcooked when ordered over-easy * Grits were watery * Bacon and sausage didn't taste fresh On the most recent visit, we had to switch to lunch. The burger was average, and the wrap was oddly put together--very thick but not well balanced. Also, the sweet potato tots we ordered were swapped out for fries. I really want to like this place because the location is genuinely special. But right now, it feels like a spot you go to for the view, not the food. With better service and more consistency in the kitchen, this could be a standout. read more

Airport Diner - Diners Near Me - Fredericksburg, Texas

Well this is a hidden gem, off the beaten path but worth it. This 40's themed diner is a step back in time and I love it! Take in the decor inside and the runway outside. We had a wonderful time sitting in our booth watching planes and helicopters take off and land. It was a weekend afternoon and they were packed, and for good reason. The burgers and breakfast we had was great! But it is a small place with a small place, so be patient. We will definitely be back! read more

This place is so so so cute in a super cool location. I got a side of biscuits and gravy and bacon and it was so yummy! The bacon was especially good. I also got to try the ham steak and it was spectacular. My whole group was raving about their food. Our server was so nice and brought everything we needed! Highly recommend for breakfast (get here early, it's a popular spot) read more

Airport Diner - Old plane. People fly in from all over for lunch. - Diners Near Me - Fredericksburg, Texas

We finally got here when they were open. Hubby had the migas. He loved them!!! The Migas were very tasty. Had lots of veggies in them. The chips were very crispy, he also really liked the refried beans and the soft tortillas. Their fried potatoes are awesome, very crispy on the outside, tender on the inside. I had the major McCourt, the biscuit was really dry and hard but other than that, it was pretty tasty. Can't wait to come back and try lunch. They say they have blueberry cobbler cheesecake, that sounds amazing. Will be back to try that. The It was nice. The waitress was very sweet and attentive. Loved the cool atmosphere. read more

I absolutely love this quaint diner. As you sit and eat, you can watch the planes come in and take off. The food is good. I will attach photos of the menu, service was super friendly and fast, but being able to sit there and watch outside was amazing. I will definitely be back food. Prices were good and you definitely got good portions. read more

It's the cutest 40s style diner EVER! My husband and I are always on the hunt for cute 40s or 50s diners. This definitely fits the bill, and the food and service are fantastic as well. We discovered it one morning, and were so impressed that we went back for lunch! Their days and hours are a little wonky, though, so check your schedule and make sure to squeeze in a visit when you're in town! read more

Have always loved this place but my mom and her caregiver came in today to eat and were ignored by everyone. Even after being told someone would help them. Then they were told to sit on the empty barstools and my mom uses a walker and obviously cannot sit on a stool. Will never come back and will tell everyone I know not to either. read more

Love the location, the decor, the atmosphere -- straight out of a 40's diner. Full wall of windows looking right out on the tarmac, so you can watch planes land and take off while you eat your meal. Well -- if the meal was edible, and if you get more than perfunctory service. We went there Sunday at 1 PM -- place is open until 2 PM. My husband had been there several times before and raved about the Strawberry milkshake, so of course he ordered one, along with SOS and eggs. I ordered their bottomless cup of coffee and the Mach Migas. We got our beverages first, Strawberry shake was good as hubby remembered. My coffee was OK, typical diner coffee. Our food was brought to our table, and the server walked away -- or should I say disappeared. She dropped our food off, and never paid any attention to us again. I wanted some sugar and another cup of coffee, hubby wanted ketchup. She was going to other tables, but would not come back to our table, I tried multiple times to get her attention, she would not look in our direction. I finally got the attention of another server, and HEARD the other server tell our server that we needed something, and she STILL did not come to our table for 5 more minutes. My bottomless cup of coffee was empty, my husband's food was cold, I still had no sugar, tried to explain, not even a hint of an apology. Will not be going back. Server did take husband's meal off, but that wouldn't have been necessary if she had just come back even once to check to see if we needed anything. The 'home fries' were small-cut pieces of potato that had been deep-fried, the eggs were undercooked and runny (scrambled). Truly sad, as hubby had been there previously when in Fredericksburg for business, and always raved about the food. Well, we'll always have the Strawberry milkshakes! read more

Food and service. Sunday at 11:59 and they wouldn't let me order lunch- they were in breakfast mode. Tons of people. Absolutely no seasoning on a hamburger they let me order- asked for it well done, came out leads than med. Understaffed. Waitress said only 2 cooks and overwhelmed. read more

Always great food. Staff has been here forever and they provide excellent service. Highly recommend.

We have been to Fredericksburg many times and just discovered this place. We'd been searching for a classic 40s diner such as this for years. We came for breakfast and came back the same day for lunch. Katie was our waitress and she was awesome, and their migas, French toast, Helipad, and onion rings were fantastic! We'll be back, and there are so many things on the menu we want to try! read more

Great breakfast, super service , quaint little diner , and fabulous atmosphere ! Right at the Fredericksburg airport

This Diner is right next door to the Hangar Hotel and it was so convenient to check out of the hotel and grab some breakfast from the Airport Diner. Right off the bat, the decor is awesome, it had a very vintage feel to it. The service was awesome. We had a great server, she was awesome. The food was good and the coffee was also good. We would return if we stayed at the Hangar Hotel again. read more

On one of our trips to Fredericksburg, my wife and I, her brother and sister in law decided to eat a Sunday brunch there. Our first choice, Sunset Grill had people lined out the door and many more waiting to get served. We did not even stop. Our second choice was not much better. It was packed with people waiting outside as well. As we searched for a place to eat, we remembered that the airport had a diner so we went there to see if it was easier than the first 2 places to get breakfast. It had people waiting but the wait was rewarded when we found a table. It was first come, first served. Now, the diner looks over the jetway where the small planes can park and the flyers can walk over to the diner and eat. It's pretty entertaining. You can watch planes take off and land right there while you eat. My brother in law is a licensed pilot and loves to fly and watch airplanes. We've eaten lunch here but not breakfast. It was busy so while the service was not great, it was adequate and those young ladies who work there work fast and furious. They really earn their tip for sure. The food is good - again not great - it is a diner after all. Overall, it was an adequate breakfast. Fredericksburg is a place full of promise if you are inclined to open a breakfast/ brunch restaurant for Sundays. It was amazing to see the amount of people we saw lined up patiently to eat breakfast or brunch. This might be a big opportunity for some enterprising person interested in serving breakfast to hungry people in Fredericksburg, TX! read more

Cute little, very little, diner on the airport. Food wasn't great. I tried the SOS off the breakfast menu. The biscuits were dry, gravy was bland, the eggs over cooked, and the potatoes seemed like they had been sitting under a heat lamp to long. My wife had the sausage and onion sandwich with sweet potato waffle fries. Her was better, but the waffle fries tasted like a fair food. Maybe the oil they use. We can at least check it off the list. On to the next $100 hamburger! read more

Decided to give Airport Diner another shot; last reviewed by Ol' Rooster 8 years ago. GF and I had snuck out to Fredericksburg the evening before for a getaway. Decided to sleep in a bit; making our usual breakfast fave Sunset Grill not ideal because of the wait time. I was already hearing aircraft action in the skies at our hotel; something that was totally absent during from the start of the pandemic. Decided to give them another go so we could see some runway action as we dined and sipped coffee. The airport action did not disappoint! Multi million dollar jet landed and taxied by; helicopter came to life and headed south. Lots of small private planes arriving as we unfortunately dined on totally mediocre food just like 8 years ago. SOS plate aka biscuits and gravy with homefries and eggs was barely warm. Eggs ordered over easy were scorched from being cooked at a high temp. Biscuits were shown no love; not even split for you. Taters with chili powder spiked salsa was the best bites. GF's migas suffered the same temperature issue. Cooks still won't cook bacon to order according to our server. She was friendly attentive and that's why we're at 2 stars (down from three stars previously). You're better off getting McDonalds and sitting on the tarmac! read more

Airport Diner - SOS aka Biscuits and Gravy with Eggs and Homefries - Diners Near Me - Fredericksburg, Texas

This place is such a gem!! While spending a few days in Fredericksburg, our son sent us a link to the Airport Dinner. We stopped by for an old fashioned Sunday, shake & waffle breakfast. The place sends you back in time to the old diners. The decor was perfectly done, the place was extremely clean, food was yummy and service was exceptional. The cherry on top is watching the old timers fly in and out on their planes. I wish every place was this amazing! read more

Great food. great staff great ambiance!!! Just like walking back in time! Definitely worth the effort! read more

It was just okay. We were staying next door at Lady Bird Park Campground so we wanted to try this place out. Cute little diner at the airport. Service was good. Food, mostly, was okay. - Decent side salad - Good meatloaf - Good pancake - Not good chicken fried steak (super chewy) - Not good onion rings (thin, greasy, wimpy - more like onion straws) read more

Cute concept, it's a diner at the local small airport. Food is hit or miss, there can be a wait depending on when you go. I ordered chilaquiles and it came without chips. Our waitress didn't come back around so I couldn't even ask where the chips were. My friends said their food was okay. Again, I would go to see the planes but the food was just okay. read more

This particular morning the breakfast was not very good. The breakfast food tasted as if it was not made fresh. The service was good and friendly. The Ambiance was airport diner. read more

I love the concept of this diner and being located next to the landing strip. Anytime I go to a diner, I automatically think of grease, but this diner is CLEAN! It has definitely been well maintained. The servers are very nice and took good care of us even through the lunch rush. The food isn't mind blowing but definitely above average for diner-style food. I would absolutely come back! read more

What a cool little diner! Our party of 8 was able to get a seat at the bar without any wait. Our sweet waitress helped us immediately. I had the eggs and sausage, and ordered a pancake. The eggs and sausage were amazing, and that was one of the best pancakes I've had in a very long time! It was cooked so well, and it was crispy on the edges, which was amazing! It was so cool to see the planes landing and taking off outside! We had a blast and were very glad we went there! read more

Have eaten at Airport Diner twice in last two weeks, once for breakfast and once for lunch. Both my wife and I had eggs with "home fries" while I had link sausage and biscuit and she had bacon and white toast. The home fries were barely cooked with little brown on them. My sausage was cold and had to be sent back to be microwaved. The bacon wasn't much warmer. The bacon was tasty but MUCH too salty. The toast was so lightly toasted you could hardly see any brown on it. The biscuit was so hard I could barely cut it with a knife and had trouble chewing it. Both of us had meatloaf for lunch. It was more filler than meat. Not very tasty. It was served cold. I like going there because I'm a pilot and like to watch the airplanes. But that isn't enough to get me to eat there again. read more

This was the neatest place! Old school diner right off the airport landing strip. The service was as good as it could be for how busy they were. Not an empty seat and line waiting by the time we left. Not a place to visit if you don't have time to wait. Unfortunately our food was absolutely horrible. My food was literally cold by the time I got it. SOS with biscuits, scrambled eggs and potatoes. Cold hard biscuits. My boyfriend's order was completely wrong. Omelette with a bunch of random ingredients, almost like he got someone else's order. read more

The service was terrible. We felt like we were deliberately being ignored when she forgot the sugar for the coffee, or needed drink refills. When we waited a long time to pay another waitress noticed and told her. She replied to her . "I'll get to it when I'm damn well ready". read more

Nice little place. Breakfasts looked great, but I had the patty melt. Was overcooked and bland

First we weren't greeted at the door. After several minutes and being seen by staff, we finally had to just sit down at the counter. The place wasn't slammed or anything. Ordered and never got silverware. Had to ask so we could eat. Ordered SOS. Bland as can be. Dense biscuits, gravy was nothing special, two eggs and watery grits with no seasoning to speak of. Got the "cheese grits" and it was an extra buck for a few shreds of cheddar cheese on top that glopped up and the grits became stringy and worth the trouble of eating. The best thing about the place is the diner decor and the view of the little planes taking off but no one is taking pride in the breakfast service. Oh and the AC wasn't cooling and we were burning up. Please elevate the food experience to match the decor. Cheese grits aren't grits with cheese on top and everything isn't supposed to taste like bland baby food. read more

Cool vibe, great service. We had the SOS. biscuits were awesome but gravy was cold. Potatoes were warm and tasty. Waffle was delicious. We didn't have the pancakes but they looked awesome. Will definitely come back. read more

Airport Diner - Booth view - Diners Near Me - Fredericksburg, Texas

I ordered the SOS breakfast, which is 2 eggs, 2 biscuits and gravy, and home fries or grits. They were out of grits, so I got the home fries. It took 1 hour to get our food, and I don't think I have ever tried anything more bland in my life. The salsa was good, but everything else was in desperate need of flavor and salt. Given how long it took to get our food and how basic the food was, I won't be going back and would not recommend it to anyone. read more
