    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)

    Great diner experience. Lots of cool planes outside. People fly in from all over. Had the club, a chicken salad sandwich and a hamburger. Great fries!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    Great diner prices and the food came out quick. Also really neat to watch some of the planes fly down or take off. Highly recommend on your trip to Fredericksburg!

    SOS aka Biscuits and Gravy with Eggs and Homefries
    James F.

    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!

    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!

I had see it recommended by so many people and I'm happy to report that it lived up to the hype (and still impressed me)! NOTES: - Reservations: no... walk in only - Parking: a few spots on the side of the building but free street parking nearby as well - Closed on Wednesday THE HIGHS: - Our server, Kevin, was PHENOMENAL... he was friendly but fast and efficient! - Coffee was strong and refilled constantly - Food came out quickly and everything was fresh - Not a single bad bite... everything was delicious! THE LOWS: - I wish I had more stomach space to try other items! THE PRICE: An absolute STEAL for how good the food is! - Country Biscuit and Sausage Gravy ($13.50 + $1 for cheese added to scrambled eggs) - Josephine ($13) - Short Stack Pancake ($6) - Biscuit ($2.50) - Side of Grits ($4) The total was $44.50 after tax ($3.30) and a credit card processing fee ($1.20) but before tip. (We also got coffee but weren't charged for it) BEST BITES: - Josephine (biscuit was thick and soft, egg was fried perfectly, brie cheese was creamy and delicious, honey ham added the perfect savory element, and the fig preserves added a nice touch of sweetness) - Pancakes (thick and fluffy... everything you'd want them to be) - Grits (simple but delicious... I've had a lot of grits and these were the perfect texture) THE VERDICT: This was my first visit to Sunset Grill after seeing it recommended by so many people... it was a must-try while in Fredericksburg and it was one of my favorite meals of the trip! The service was fantastic, the prices are affordable, and the food is top-tier for comfort breakfast. I already can't wait to come back and will recommend it to everyone I know visiting Fredericksburg!

Dis and Dat: They are open until 2 PM for lunch, and they have expanded their weekend hours. Verify via their website. Parking is offstreet and the lot is fairly large. Service is exceptional.

We ordered coffee ($3 per cup) and water. We were brought the coffee and waters and we ordered. I had the Huevos Rancheros ($17) and my wife had the Fruit Granola Yogurt ($13). Our food was brought out after a bit and it looked good. However, there were problems with both dishes. My wife's dish, advertised a Greek Yogurt was more like they scooped some Yoplait into the bowl instead. There was some fruit chunks, but not near enough to justify the $13 cost. She said the carved strawberry was the best part of the dish and the granola was good, but certainly did not taste homemade. My dish was barely warm, the beans were way too soupy, and I had asked for over-medium eggs, but they came over easy. I sent it back and told the server the dish was lukewarm and the eggs were not prepared as requested. She quickly came back with another plate that pretty much had the exact same issues. Lukewarm beans and potatoes and over-easy eggs. Rather than send it back again, I ate less than half and called it quits. Our bill came to ~$40 and it was probably worth less than half that. Another tidbit is that we had to ask twice for coffee refills. The place was not really busy either. Not sure why it gets 4+ stars because I struggle with giving it 2. Overall, not worth the price and the quality of the food was lacking. Service was decent, but aside from that it doesn't rate another visit.

I ordered the Blanco Blueberry Mule and my husband had an Old Fashioned; both cocktails were crafted perfectly. After enjoying drinks, we were seated right on time for our reservation. Our waitress, Scarlett, greeted us immediately and brought out water and bread with butter while we looked over the menu. And let me just say... the butter. OMG. Apparently it's the chef's secret recipe (and he won't share), but it's made with pecans and is honestly one of the most delicious things I've ever tasted. It's legit like ice cream. I initially tried to order a specific Cabernet Sauvignon that was unfortunately out, but chose another option instead, a Napa Valley Cab I believe from Groth Winerty, and it was absolutely delicious. Rich and robust. For appetizers, we ordered the Enchanted Mushroom, which had an incredible smoky flavor and was outstanding, along with the beef tartare, which was also excellent. Both appetizers were generously portioned and very satisfying. My pics make it look smaller than it was because I had to hold the camera back for portrait mode. We also ordered the truffle mac and cheese, which was rich, comforting, and had the perfect amount of truffle. Flavorful without being overpowering. For our entrées, I had the chicken fried steak and my husband ordered the filet. His filet came out cooked exactly as requested- rare to medium-rare- and was perfect. My chicken fried steak was cooked beautifully, though I will say the breading on top was a bit over-salted. And I love salt, but even for me it was a bit much. Aside from that, the dish was very well prepared. We finished by sharing the butterscotch crème brûlée, which was absolutely incredible. Deliciousness in every single bite. Scarlett was fantastic throughout the entire meal, striking the perfect balance of attentiveness without hovering. Overall, this place is awesome, and we will definitely be back!

Our server was friendly, but there were a few communication hiccups throughout the meal. We were served bottled water without being told there was a charge, which caught us off guard since most nearby restaurants offer complimentary water. The server also offered chips and salsa as we were handed menus, so it sounded like a complimentary starter, but it's actually $10 on the menu. After waiting about 40 minutes, we decided to cancel the order (which turned out hadn't been entered anyway). Service was pleasant but inconsistent. One of our friends arrived a few minutes after us and ordered coffee right away, but her cup didn't come out until well after ours, and when it did, the cup wasn't very clean. Also worth noting that gratuity is automatically added for parties of six or more, and they don't split checks. We accidentally double-tipped, but the manager was kind and quickly resolved it. On the plus side, the space is casual, dog-friendly, and has plenty of shaded outdoor seating. The food was the highlight. My Chicken Bacon Ranch sandwich was flavorful with crispy fries, my husband's Hideaway Burger was cooked well, and our friend's Chicken & Waffles were tasty, though a bit heavy on the waffle and light on the chicken. Overall, the food and atmosphere were good, but the lack of transparency around pricing and a few service missteps made the experience less smooth than it could've been. Decent spot, but I'd probably try somewhere else next time.
