I stopped here after reading all of the raving reviews with high hopes of having a great bite to eat for dinner one evening. Perhaps their other food is better than what I ordered, which was a combination grinder, but I have to say compared to others that I've had in the area, this seemed more like a 7-Eleven convenience store hoagie with its limited amounts of meat and cheese. The other thing that I'll mention )just because it seems to be a theme at every restaurant that I've been to around 8 PM in this town), everybody seems to be far more concerned about walking out the door two minutes before they're supposed to close is the impression they leave on guests now walk in 20 or 30 minutes before closing time. This will be the third time I've been to some quick family dining establishment in the area that I've had this experience-- I'm gonna offer management the same advice that I've offered to other establishments nearby: If there is a time of day that you want to leave work, you should close your business in whatever time it takes for you to clean in order to make that happen as opposed to risking guest walking in and being made to feel as if their inconveniencing everybody who works there for making the decision to go to your establishment to spend our money. read more

Staff are always polite wether eating in or taking out . Large seating areas ,family style or booths . Food portions are good but not much flavor . read more

Basic decor, nice server, horrible burger and good meatballs. I came here on a whim. Lots of good reviews and slightly off the beaten path. So decided to give this place a try, see if the reviews are warranted. Outside is nothing special. It's a little worn but not majorly so. Went in and was greeted by a single server. Told me I could sit wherever and got a to-go menu. Asked for recommendations, none came to her mind. So I went with my staples, a burger with fries (sweet potato this time around), a side of meatballs, and a slice of carrot cake. As I glanced around at the empty restaurant, some of the tables had yet to be cleaned. I suspect they were waiting for the end of their day to do a full clean. Not a great sign, but I can't say that for certain. Meatballs came out quick, and were actually really good. Not tough, good ragu, not buried under gobs of cheese, little bready but seasoned. Overall a very solid start. The burger...that was a major flop. Overcooked, unseasoned frozen patty with unseasoned sautéed onions and canned mushrooms. On a lightly toasted but unbuttered bun with bagged fries. This burger was very much the chef not caring and whipping up a quick burger with long stored ingredients. This is a diner, expecting gourmet eats from a diner is not realistic. I do ask if the food is better than fast food, and that's very much a no here. With fast food, things are lighter in portion but seasoned and designed to be tasty enough. Here you get a bigger patty but it's like chewing on rubbery pebbles. Couple this with a long stale carrot cake slice with dried frosting on top, and you got the signs of a place trying to do too much with no quality. This I will say in their defense. The meatballs show that the chef, when they care and can control their product, is able to cook and cook well. If you ignore anything that is a freezer or restaurant depot item, then you will get something tasty. I highly suspect any good reviews are from items that avoid those trappings and forces the chef to actually cook. So I'm chalking this meal up to a staff that had a rough week and just stopped caring. They really need to focus on their product, make sure their basics are sound and focus their menu. If you don't have enough business to cycle through stock then reduce the menu. Limit the dessert selection, make the foods you know you can do well, and sell those. If you can't make desserts, then find the best place that can and partner up with them. For those considering going here, avoid the burgers. Aim for foods that you can't store in a freezer and you'll do well. read more

Recently stopped in w 5 friends for breakfast. Service was excellent. Coffee, etc constantly flowed to our table. I had a Florentine (feta and spinach) omelet; others had French toast, egg white omelet, western omelets, etc. First of all, the presentation of my omelet was Picasso-worthy (suitable for framing). However, first time I ever had spinach in or on an omelet where it wasn't at least wilted. Kind of weird, to me. My grits were excellent. For me, they were the hit of the show. Overall rating is 4, which was also the average for my 5 dining partners. Also, first time I've rated them less than 5. Reasonable, good service. read more

"Fly Translove Airways gets you there on time" (Jefferson Airplane) We were heading home when the hunger pangs forced us to consider stopping for breakfast. But where should we stop? Well, YELP made that decision easy to make once I saw the excellent reviews for Airway. Our server Nadiye was charming, helpful and very attentive while not intrusive. Our breakfast of two omelets and two coffees ran a very reasonable $28.02. Coffees were $2.95 and Nadiye was right there with unprompted refills. An American Cheese omelet was $9.25 and came with two pieces of toast and a side. Now, Airway does sides right, because they offer quite a few -how about Home Fries, Deep Fried Home Fries, Tots, Fresh Fruit, Grits, French Fries, sliced tomatoes, and for a buck more you can splurge on Curly Fries, Sweet Potato Fries, or Onion Rings. I went with a Veggie omelet ($10.95) with rye toast and the regular home fries. Now I have to tell ya the serving plates at Airway are huge, but amazingly our orders filled up just about every square inch of that plate. My veggie omelet was loaded with diced onions, peppers, mushrooms and tomatoes. But the thing that surprised me was how great the home fries were. They were cooked on the flat top (we didn't go for the deep-fried versions) and they were so tender and delicious. The portions were huge (so we took home half of each), the service was great, and the pricing was very fair. Great job, Airway! read more

Nice and clean place with good service. Good food (try the French toast) and reasonable prices for breakfast. But how do you justify $3.95 for a cup of hot tea (with one mint flavored tea bag)?!?! read more

We stopped by here on a Saturday night after picking up someone from the airport. The place is nice inside and basic. The menu is very sizable with lots to choose from. I had a blt club sandwich, which was very well prepared and tasty. Service was quick and the server friendly. Price was reasonable. If you're looking for a sizable menu and good service and food, this place is the ticket. Especially going to and from the airport. read more

Lovin me the local mom & pop--especially a truly FaBuLuOuS diner!! We happened upon this newer establishment purely by chance. There are not too many good choices this close in to Bradley airport. We expected mediocre, and we got FIRE. You don't need to be headed in or out of the airport to stop in for a really great breakfast (all day!) lunch or dinner! The choices are plentiful and in large portions. Best part?! Prices are mad low for the area! This is our second time, but def NOT our last. Check it out when flying or...whenever. Give me a shout out if you do, thanks for reading me, & happy healthy yelping! read more

We were staying overnight at BDL so we stopped at Airway for dinner. What a great find! Friendly service, good food, generous portions. I had the Chicken Parm, my wife the stuffed shells. Highly recommend! read more

We saw the reviews on yelp, so we decided to try a pizza, as Airway was not far from us. I ordered a large pizza with four toppings. I was a little concerned when they said it would be ready in 15 minutes, generally a decent pizza place takes 30 minutes or more. The toppings, sauce, and cheese were very good and plentiful. The crust was the problem. I believe it was a pre-made, possibly frozen. Anyway, we are very picky about our pizza, so the pizza crust was a disappointment. I haven't tried anything else on the menu, so I can't say how the rest of the food from Airway rates. They do have a huge menu. read more

Got meatloaf plate. Very good . $17. A lot of food, enough for 2 days. The area around bdl has restaurants, but i have found most are not that good, except for gathering place just down the street read more

Food service and everything else was great and their salads are fantastic The atmosphere and the servers are very pleasant.

We had breakfast for six and we were all happy with our food and the service. They were able to fit us in a booth plus there are tables for larger groups. The only thing that was tough was the sound. It got so loud and we felt we had to speak loud to be heard. I wish people could just talk a little softer when out at any restaurant. But the food is consistently good and I love this place. read more

this place never disappoints. they cut my corn muffin into 3rds and they grilled both sides of the middle piece

Wow; what a great find not too far from home. Hubby and I just had lunch there and were both very happy with our lunch!! Nice waitstaff, priced right for ample amount of food. I had a tuna melt where the bread was toasted perfectly and not over buttered. The place was clean. We'll be back! read more

order at least 80 in food every week for hotel. the girl that answered is very rude and nasty. hung up in my face for asking why would something be on the menu if it's not offered. this is the 2nd time i dealt with her nasty attitude. will no longer carry their menus in our hotel. read more

I am here on business and didn't know the area. The liquor store owner at the corner of north st was graciously willing to help me find a good pizza to go with the bottle of wine I bought. I ordered the margarita with spinach and mushrooms added. The crust was great - puffy and crisp. Plenty of cheese. I will get pizza here again. The only disappointment was no fresh basil is was basil flakes and if I had made in my pizza oven back home I would have put more spinach and mushrooms on it read more

I was so impressed with this venue close to the airport. An airport diner that doesn't break the bank is always a plus. I am a camel and it was delightful that my coffee and water glass were never empty. While I only had a simple steak and eggs, the potatoes were to die for. Glad I left my low-carb home that day. Splendid friendly service. Attentive but not over-bearing. I loved the tag-team----if someone saw your glass needing a filling---it was done. Many thanks for the great service and experience. read more

This is not a place we would have ever stopped at if it wasn't for yelp, but thank goodness for yelp! We were flying out of Hartford and needed a place to grab a bite. It was 2pm on a Sunday, so just a few people there but wow. Service was prompt and friendly, our table had the egg salad sandwich, the turkey Rueben, a cheese pizza, popcorn chicken and fries. Everything was excellent. We would definitely come back the next time we are here. Great home town diner. read more

I thought this place was very good. I had a BLT, which was two small sandwich halves and two pickles for $7.25 The service was also very good- waitress was very attentive and fast kitchen prep, which was great since I was in a bit of a rush. It's off the beaten path, so I had to navigate to find it, but the large, visible sign helped. read more

Taco salad was amazing and the delivery was fast. Chicken was a little bland but it was for sure plentiful and good quality of food.

I've been here about 10 times as it is near my home and has good hours. I really like the thin crust pizza. I also like the salads. Staff lacks polish and concentration, which surprised me to be honest. I have been served stone cold food at an eat-in meal, bacon missing in Cobb salad, ordered no olives and they give you extra olives. (They just did this too me again which prompted my review). Pastry is a big missing piece of the puzzle for this place. If you want a cinnamon bun with your coffee you best stop at Dunkin D on the way. I'm going to hang in there because the food is good and fresh, maybe the staff will get their rhythm, plus I love their delivery service! Overall a good experience with lots of room to grow. read more

The old Sky Diner in East Windsor has morphed into the Pickleworks location in Windsor Locks as Airway Restaurant. Got all that? Been open here for I believe four months....I guess I'm review #1. We went for breakfast. they appear to be open all day...breakfast,lunch,dinner,pizza..grinders..all things to all people. Big extensive menu. Its been nicely remodeled. very attractive inside. Very quiet on a weekday morning. Service was fine and friendly. My wife had a delicious blueberry pancake(they are huge!) with a side of bacon. I had a sausage and cheese omelet. delicious and made perfectly. I asked for a substitute for hash browns and toast and got a nice little bowl of very fresh fruit. impressed! Coffee re-fills came fast....absolutely no complaints. Its located in a non descript mall near BDL.Easy to miss...but worth a stop. read more

My wife and I went this morning for breakfast and will certainly be back. The wife had the Western omelet and home fries and enjoyed them. I had the Country Benedict and was amazed. Why had I never considered putting a poached egg and a sausage patty on a biscuit and then smothering it with delicious sausage gravy? I have found my new breakfast go to. read more

We are ditchin' our old spot for this place. We went to our old spot and sat for 20 min and no acknowledgement at all so we left and came here. We were asked what we wanted to drink as we were sitting. The food was delicious and well made. I got the spinach feta omelette and there was an abundance of both. The bacon is amazing, like bacon itself is amazing but this was a notch above. Service was on point as well. read more

We ordered last night! OMG Amazing! We had their pizza before pretty good. Last night ordered a Philly Steak Sub. Best I had since going to Philadelphia years ago. My wife had a roast beef dinner she said very good! Impeccable food Very fast delivery and EVERYTHING was as hot as bring in a restaurant! Thank-you Delish read more

This is a very serviceable pseudo-diner on a side street just a few minutes away from Bradley Airport. Tons of breakfast options, sandwiches, affordable entrees, good soups, salads, and pizza. Not fine dining but good, tasty meals in a clean, unpretentious atmosphere. And unbeatable value. A great, quick option before or after a flight that's light years better than the fast food chains on Rt. 75. read more

By far one of the best restaurant's in Windsor Locks. Anything from breakfast to dinner. Never disappointed.

Ordered a pizza, it arrived early which is good. The pizza was hot and delicious and I would definitely order again.

I would like to thank you for your kindness today. I ordered a party size pizza for an unexpected gathering. When picking up my pizza I mentioned how my dinner plans had drastically changed due to my sons unexpected arrival as a surprise visit from the Army. I was surprised when the amazing woman said the pizza was on her from one military mom to another. This act of kindness was unexpected and so appreciated by my family. We have loved ordering from Airways and now you are our only pizza place. Again thank you for that wonderful surprise and delicious food! read more

Small diner. I enjoyed my delicious breakfast and great customer service. I'm sure I will be back. Thank you.

I've ordered pizza from here a few times both delivery and take out. They are very fast and the dough is one of the best I've had! The reason I'm giving it 3 stars is because every time I've ordered I've gotten something different. The first time I got sausage mushroom tomato and garlic pizza it was pretty good and would get it again! The second was pepperoni and that was delicious! I know just pepperoni how can you mess that up? But seriously the combination of the amazing dough and very good sauce (which is something I'm very picky about) mixed with the spice of the pepperoni was just awesome! The last pizza I got was a Hawaiian and while it was pretty good the crust was a little under cooked for my liking. I will definitely be back as the staff is very friendly and the food is pretty good! I just wish there was a little more consistency. read more
