What a hidden gem. A cool little cafe located on a local regional airport. I would consider it like a small diner carrying similar type foods. The service is away fast and friendly. The food is fresh and tasty. We've been here a few times and always had a great experience. I heard that Tuesday's are good days as you can watch small aircraft flying off the runway. There's plenty of parking in the private parking lot and there is electric charging stations as well. read more

We had a lovely lunch, looking out on the airplanes landing and taking off. The server was helpful and friendly. The restaurant is bright and cheerful located in the terminal building. We all had salads that were huge! Very fresh and tasty! And try the fried pickle appetizer - hot and crunchy! read more

We had such a lovely experience at Crosswinds Café as a family of three--two adults and our baby. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and cozy, with friendly staff who went out of their way to accommodate us (including immediately offering a high chair). The food was delicious--fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. We especially loved the pancakes, which were both top-notch. It's hard to find a place that balances quality with a relaxed, family-friendly vibe, but Crosswinds really nails it. We loved overlooking the airport and the airport themed kids playground with picnic tables you could bring your own snacks to! read more

Crosswinds Cafe - Overlooking the airport! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Martinsburg, West Virginia

Great food and service. Was nice to see the planes. My daughter loved the playground !

This is a fun place to eat. It is on the second floor and has large windows on three sides overlooking the airport. It's a great place to watch planes take off and land. The staff were very friendly and they seemed to have built up a lot of regular customers. The food is standard diner type and the amount of cold cuts on my club sandwich were very generous. The club was good if a bit difficult to eat but there wasn't much pride in plating. I thought they forgot my pickle but it was under my sandwich which was under the chips. Overall I will be back again. read more

Breakfast ride to Crosswinds Cafe. As usual the service was good, the food was great and the cost was very reasonable. They had scrapple this morning and I love their home fries. Very good no complaints read more

Great cafe overlooking the runway, and the food was great. Second visit and the food and service was great. National Guard pilots and highway patrol are customers. read more

Good breakfast, large plump pancakes and friendly staff. Airport views weren't exciting that morning, but potentially fun to watch. Added to my regular go to list. read more

Truly enjoyed a quiet breakfast here. The views of the planes were a nice added touch. Plus the atmosphere and museum in the building is lovely. Kind staff and my service dog was no issue. We will for sure be back. read more

Crosswinds Cafe - The beautiful views from our table - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Martinsburg, West Virginia

Atmosphere was nice!l We loved watching the planes. I wish the I could say the same about the rest of the experience. Our waitress was very unwelcoming. We noticed a few times she rolled her eyes and thought it was us however this continued with other customers as well. The food was priced well. All I got was sweet potato fried and they were burnt. read more

I would say that this is one of the most under-utilized places I know of.... Crosswinds Cafe is in a beautiful location, well, if you're a pilot or aviation geek at least. It's on the 2nd floor of Martinsburg's little airport building... You can drink or dine with a commanding view of everything going on at the airport. You can view the military C-17 aircraft across the runway, see smaller planes training and practicing landings, and occasionally view other military planes who use Martinsburg as a training runway... But we're also here to eat right? Well you won't be disappointed with the menu. If you are local, you have probably heard of Katara's in town, well this is not exactly the same menu, but you can see the similarities... Everything is GOOD!!! I've been here several times, but the last time I had a Chef Salad, and everyone else that I was dining with was jealous... it was so FRESH and delicious... The service is great here, my drink was never more than half empty. You can rent out this space for special events. It's a great space for your event. and..... they serve alcohol now!!! (if you're not flying a plane home like me) read more

Crosswinds Cafe - Chef Salad - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Martinsburg, West Virginia

Love this place! The view is spectacular! You can watch planes land and take off during your time at Crosswinds. The service is good and the chicken salad sandwich is the best I've ever had. I would highly recommend this place. read more

We arrived and found the waitress sitting with a guy at a table. She came and sat us and didn't even offer to get us anything which most places do when they seat a table (which she should've done beings she was our server after all) she then went back over talking to the same guy. we waited about 5 mins and then she came back over and offered to take our order including drinks. I said we would just get drinks and ordered Kristen's food bc it was our first time there and we wanted to look over the menu some more. No suggestions, NOTHING!! As soon as she walked away she proceeded to refill a tea at someone's table and then right back over to the guy she was sitting with to deliver his food and talk. Then she notices the table behind him needed refills so she asks and they said yep Pepsi and water. ( Same thing we asked for hence it should've clicked oh they don't have drinks yet!) She goes to deliver the refills and says something to the guy again that she was sitting with and in the mean time another table gets up to pay. She runs over to cash them out! We get up and leave and it's pretty sad when our little one who is only 4 says thank you as we're walking out not evening understanding what just happened. I'm in the industry and I'm pretty sure she has worked for this place for a while even at different locations so this type of service is uncalled for and horrible!! Not sure if she felt some type of way towards us or she's just horrible at her job!! Either way it was a terrible experience and we won't be back!!! After the post to Facebook there has been a lot of feedback and a lot of people have said no matter what her service sucks!!! Not sure how she's lasted so long!! read more

A great secret of the Martinsburg airport in West Virginia is that there is a pretty incredible, cheap, no frills, aviation themed diner on premises. If you fly in or you live in the area - it's a fantastic place to enjoy tasty foods and watch airplanes land from the 2nd floor. Yes -- it's an airport cafe, but no - you don't need to go through security to dine here AFAIK. We flew into the airport a while back and the staff at the FBO took us over to the cafe. I had an "aviation burger," while my friend enjoyed a grilled chicken sandwich. Everything, including the service - was incredible! The burger was perfect and juicy. I highly recommend it! The chips they serve are cooked in house and delightful as well! read more

Crosswinds is located adjacent to the Martinsburg airport. It can be a little confusing to make it from the parking lot upstairs to the café, but the setting is very comfortable once there. One of the items worth trying are "corn fritters." I was expecting something like a hush puppy, but to my (pleasant) surprise I found them to be small fried balls of dough filled with warm sweet corn. They were great! The service was attentive and prompt. I will definitely make a return trip! read more

Disgusting.... all I need to say. Ordered a salad that was awful. How do you ruin a salad you ask? By using wilted lettuce and other ingredients. Never again read more

Good sandwich from this small deli spot not far from I-81. I was the only one in the back for my entire lunch. They do have a free wifi hotspot and there's a big television up on the wall. Will the SVU Detectives catch the bad guy? I guess we'll find out later. I chose the fried ham sandwich because I wanted something hot. It was pretty tasty and just a little messy but I ate the whole thing and even some of the chips. Big portion here. read more

This is a family owned establishment. The restaurant has a nice set up. When you park and walk up, you will notice a double doored front entrance that brings you into the dining room, its locked. There is a side entrance, this works well for keeping the dining room from becoming a thoroughfare while other patrons are sitting and dining. I ordered a Bacon cheeseburger and fries. My order was prepared and served within 10 minutes of it being ordered. My burger was pretty good. I will eat here again in the future! read more

Wonderful view of the Air National Guard base and planes taking off and landing. Food is really good and fresh!

This place is the best we absolutely loved it great portions great food! It's awesome you can watch the planes take off while you get a bite to eat read more

Food was very good. Tasted wonderful. However, we arrived at a little past three. We were told they were about to close.....at 4......then told they had already cleaned the grill.....the implication was that they didn't want us to order food that would need prepared that way. Food came quickly and was great. But we asked for one large fry and got fries on each plate. Then, the waitress was so busy preparing to close that we had to take our cups to her for a refill on our drinks. The decor is nice and comfortable but the service could definitely use work. I used to wait tables and the restaurant isn't closed until the last table leaves. But that no excuse to act like we are putting you out by asking to eat when the restaurant is open. read more

Truck broke, towed in to the shop. It will be fixed soon but I have not had breakfast or lunch and it's 2! Where can I get a sandwich? Katara's across the road is good. Generous portions. Ok! Walk in the door and its a little dim coming in from outside. Counter is right inside the door. Read the specials list. Picked up the paper menu. HAM, Turkey, bacon, yum! Ordered a half Club Sandwich. It comes with chips and a pickle. CRICKEY this is HUGE. Need 2 hands to pick it up. It may be only 6" long, but its also 6" wide and almost 6" deep in meat and vegis. read more

Stopped in for lunch and was delighted by our meal. We enjoyed a great view of the airport while we ate. Both my husband's sandwich and my steak wrap were delicious and arrived quickly. Tables were clean and service was good. Loved the sweet potato fries! Kudos to the ladies working at Katara's, it's a small crew read more

Great food and atmosphere - Views of runway and planes are amazing - and sunset views are awesome! Had the pulled pork sandwich - great flavor and nice portion size. Good menu selection although probably more suited toward lunch than dinner. read more

Ordered carry out today and was very disappointed. Usually my sandwich is an inch or more thick with meat. This time I only got two slices of corn beef. It was more mustard than anything. Very sad. read more

Crosswinds Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Martinsburg, West Virginia

I really enjoy this place; I've been here several times, mostly for work-meeting lunches and once with the boyfriend. All the food I've ever gotten has been great. But there's just the one owner(?)/server who tries to take orders, refill drinks, ring people up, and run around like a crazy person. This causes huge delays in getting refills or getting her attention. They definitely need 2 or 3 dedicated wait staff. I'm hesitant to go on my lunch break because I'm not sure I will get out in time to get back within the hour. The nachos rule. read more

We were traveling up HWY 81 and needed a place to grab some lunch before heading north. Katara's Deli sounded like it would fit the bill for a healthy meal while on a road trip. Rule #1 - Be wary of a business with a limited number of glowing Yelp reviews. Rule #2 - When the restaurant is housed in building that looks better suited for tax preperation or a local insurance broker, remember Rule #1. Unfortunately I didn't remember my own rules. Still hoping for that 5 star expereince I pushed forward. The egg, bacon, and blue cheese salad sounded refreshing, but turned out to be simply that, one boiled egg, some crumbled bacon, a dash of crumbled blue cheese, on a pile of lettuce. It was as if I had gone to the refrigerator hungry and when I looked in, my only choices were eggs, bacon, blue cheese and a head of lettuce. My daughters pastrami sandwhich was... you guessed it, bread and pastrami. I blame only myself for not following my own rules... live and learn (I hope). read more

I have never had a bad meal here. The only complaint is I almost always get a Reuben. Twice now the kitchen has forgotten the thousand island dressing. Thank goodness for the servers who offered to have it remade. I just had them bring out a cup of the dressing and was good. On to good news, they have the absolute best fries I have ever eaten, and that is consistent. read more

Food was excellent and nice portions also. But its not that clean especially the tables are very worn wood and sticky also. Chairs were duck taped on the cushion part. At least they could put a tablecloth on these tables to cover the sticky part of the wood. Might help their customers to come back. read more

Katara's used to be Dubbies Deli. The owner sold the business and the only thing they changed was the name and website. The menu stayed the same which was a relief to my husband and I, who love this place. The dining area is set up like a living room with tables. Some of them are barstool height and some are regular height. It's very homey and very comfortable. Usually there is quiet music playing in the background and that's fine with me as long as it's quiet and not so loud you can't enjoy a conversation. The food is standard deli type sandwiches, but they are all very generously proportioned and very good. They have the best fried pickles I've had ever and I was thrilled to see them continue to make them. The only thing on the menu that I'm not a huge fan of was the burger. It wasn't very tasty but it serves me right going to a deli and ordering a burger. Stick to the sandwiches and unless you are very hungry, or want leftovers, order a "half". I hear the "Pig Pickin' Cake" is to die for, but I'm always so stuffed from my lunch that I have never had the room to try it. I keep meaning to! The service is always very friendly and honestly, the only thing that is keeping me from giving Katara's five stars is the fact that I never was offered a refill on my drink. Otherwise I have no complaints and indeed I hope that Katara's is around for many years. They do not disappoint! read more

I have been excited to eat here ever since I started working on my private pilots license. The timing hasn't worked out. Today however, my nephew signed up with the air guard. As a celebration my family wanted to try it out. We arrived at 2:10. The girl at the counter told us they were closing in 15 minutes. I confirmed her meaning. She Was actually turning us away with 20 minutes before cLosing. What a disappointment. I have lost my desire to try this place. And will not give it another try. read more

Awesome place to grab a bite to eat. My husband loves the cheese steaks and the sweet potato fries are super yummy! The waitress there is always so pleasant :) have returned, and will again. Wish they had better hours tho.. They close so early and don't hAve good weekend hours. read more

Flew in for breakfast. Taxied up to the ramp at the new MRB Aviation FBO and was greeted by a friendly lineman. The FBO and Crosswinds were amazing. Clean and tidy. My wife loved it and she is somewhat hard to please, haha. I would definitely recommend Crosswinds, the food is great (I've had both breakfast and lunch here) and the staff is kind and friendly. Make a stop here, you won't be disappointed. read more
