    The chicken fried steak with white milk gravy
    Teri G.

    Every time we go through, we stop for fabulous "home style delicious meals!" For years, the service is always friendly and attentive. Today "Mindy" served us and we decided that when they make robot servers they need to make the "Mindy" model. Vibrant smile and energy, delighted to serve our family of four, and made us feel fully welcome. As always the food was perfectly divine. The homestyle chicken fried steak is tenderized, battered and fried as good as mine, my boys said, but I think better! Crispy out and tender goods inside. The white milk gravy is homemade from the pan drippings. There's no other way to do it this well! Homemade biscuit with real creamery butter will stick to your ribs and lure you to bliss. Eggs over easy done just right. Hashbrowns crispy, rich coffee, and what seemed like fresh squeezed OJ. Any day is a good day to stop for a great eating experience, but in the first Sundays of the month, the aviation museums are open and free of charge. Might be live bands, raffles, airplane rides and more fun for one and all. Enjoy!

    What a cute cafe !!! The food was so fresh and delicious. The staff members were so nice and the weather wasn't the best but we got a booth inside and got to watch the planes. They have good deals for bottomless mimosas. I want to come back when it is sunny !!

    Great food and great service. Views were awesome! Came on a Sunday around 945 and didn't have a wait! Huge portions and delicious!

    Chicken fried steak

    LOVED our experience here. Came on Saturday around 11 and it was a 30 min wait. We had a mimosa and coffee while waiting. We ordered the chicken fried steak. It was my first time having it and I thought it was great. It's HUGE. The gravy is phenomenal and the inside of their biscuits and soft and pillowy. Staff is super friendly. Prices were great too. 2 chicken fried steak meals (with eggs, biscuit, and hash browns), coffee, and mimosa for a little over $50. Will definitely return.

    I was looking forward to this experience and it didn't disappoint! But I worried a bit. We arrived at almost 11 and I worried that breakfast would not be available. It was available. Then there was a table with a large group, maybe 15 or so. They ordered at same time as us and I worried that our food would be delayed. We were all served at about the same time. How does the kitchen do that? My blushing bride had a vegetable omelet, hash browns, coffee and a biscuit. I had corned beef hash, eggs over easy, some sort of chunks of breakfast potato, iced tea and a biscuit. Let me start with the biscuit... it was thick, fluffy and yummy. We recently had a bad biscuit experience.... well, not really "bad" but certainly not good. This was a pleasant surprise! The omelette got good comments. My corned beef hash was really, really good. As were the other items. I dwell on the hash because I had an unfortunate childhood experience with hash that scarred me for life. You don't want to know... really, you don't. This is only the second time I've eaten corned beef hash since I was a child. I'd gladly come back for more! Service was kind and efficient. Prices are right.

    GETTING HERE: This restaurant is located at the Santa Paula Airport, and I would recommend eating outside if you can, too. It's such a neat experience! Head to 8th Street and cross Harvard Boulevard. At the "T" in the road turn left and you're there. :) REVIEW: Another hidden gem in Santa Paula that is worth the trip, in my opinion. And, it's so great to support a local, small business. Especially during the present times! Also, they close at 2 PM so be sure to keep that in mind. Every visit seems to be better than the last! Great tasting American/brunch food and the service has been outstanding as well. Much appreciated! On our most recent visit we experienced a problem with one of the Breakfast Burritos our party had ordered. Our server Emily was pleasant and receptive when we shared the problem with her. She took the burrito back to the kitchen and brought out another item in its place without giving it a second thought. Great food and great service, combined with great atmosphere. This is a win in my book all the way around. Definitely recommend! PRO TIP: Get the Reuben sandwich too! Enjoy!

    Out of all airport cafe's I've been too, none have topped this one in regard to views.. this place is a two hour drive from me and I would absolutely make the drive on a Sunday morning to enjoy a hot cup of coffee on a cloudy, chilly morning...followed with a yummy mimosa the service has been great every single time, I have zero complaints. Absolutely recommend!

    The food was great. The people were great. As you would expect being on an airport it was expensive.

    This was just from 1 order- chicken fried steak!
    Crystal M.

    Visiting family in SP, I wouldn't have expected to find this cafe at its location. But once you end up in the restaurant, you'd be surprised at how conveniently located it is- right alongside the flight school!! This joint is your typical, American breakfast & brunch spot!! I saw they have lunch choices and serve breakfast ALL day so that is a plus!! Sometimes, I want breakfast for a late lunch or dinner lol! Food: Chicken fried steak- you need space on the table for this combo alone!! I shared with my kids (3 & 6) and still had leftovers. Steak- (not my order) looked delicious and asked for medium rare. It was cooked unevenly but did not get a chance to snap a pic once it was cut. Corned beef hash- (not my order) it was good, not salty at all. Not pictured: French toast (4 pieces)- I liked that it tasted like how my dad makes 'em. Loved the whipped butter too! Bowl of chili and toast- (not my order) but it was enjoyed by my family. Service- quick and prompt; the waitresses made their rounds a few time to make sure our cups & mugs were never empty. Seating- we choose to be out in the back as the kids wanted to enjoy the airplanes. We got to watch several take off and flying nearby. This was a new experience for us as a family and definitely the highlight of our visit. The mountain backdrop and clear skies made it work out in our favor after the quick rain that morning. Parking- plenty of parking! Tip- we arrived about 10am on a Sunday. It was about a 20 min wait. Not sure if you can call ahead to reserve but it doesn't hurt to try. Overall, it was a nice experience with family. This place looks perfect to catch up with friends and family, enjoy some good food, and have a good time!

    We got to show our cars with the museum.

    How does this restaurant compare to Waypoint in Camarillo?

    The food is MUCH better at Camarillo, but the Santa Paula cafe is much closer to airport operations. Camarillo often has a wait (duh) and their "throwback to lockdowns" 'order first' system leads to poor table service IMO.

I love their pastries, but the recent price increases do make them a luxury item. Kouign Amann are my fave, but any of their croissants are also great. I haven't really tried their drinks. Had a Hot chocolate at the Camarillo location, and they even had a little latte art in the milk foam. A beautiful space to enjoy, but pricey overall. Service is usually fine, not overly friendly but that is also due to being so busy that they need to move the lines quickly and efficiently. At Camarillo, the server was much more talkative and friendly because it wasn't crowded when I went.

Served with a warmed goat cheese crostini. No mention of melons it had a few slivers of strawberries. Overall taste not very good. Had my mom try it too she was unimpressed. She had the chicken salad. She said it was just chicken with mayo. The croissant was dry. The iced tea tasted like coffee unfortunately. The gentleman that delivered our food just plopped the plates down and walked away. No gluten free options only macaroons! First time at this location normally go to Camarillo and TO so I was expecting the same great food and service. There was a napkin on the ground directly under our table. The ledge by window was dirty! Just disappointing!

I don't think there's a bad seat in the house, but we always love to sit outside so that we have a really good view of the aircraft coming and going. I tried the BLT and, oh my!!! One of the best I've had, with lots of thick cut bacon, very crisp, lots of lettuce, tomato and mayo (I ordered it as-is). Half was the size of a regular sandwich so the other half went home with me! RRR ordered the triple decker club on sourdough and loved his as well. Half of his went home also. We both got the cole slaw as our side which has a little pineapple in it. I found it ok, RRR really liked it. We shared a special milkshake, pistachio, and it was heavenly, highly recommended. Service was perfect, there when needed but not overbearing. We so appreciate well-trained staff! Highly recommended.

    Dear Hubby and I have been to Waypoint Cafe a few times over the years. Because of how popular…read morethey are, it's not somewhere we try to go to on a weekend. Today we had to be out of the house due to Edison maintenance in your neighborhood. We were originally headed for Ojai, but we were hungry and didn't want to wait that long to get food. I suggested Waypoint since it was a weekday and hopefully wouldn't be that crowded. We hit them just before a lunch rush came along about 30 minutes later. it's probably been a while, but their ordering procedure has changed since the last time we were there. Now you enter, go to the host stand, and order and pay there. Then they give you a number for your order and a host takes you out to a table. It's a variation on fast casual. The idea is that they will start cooking your food as soon as you pay, and the process will flow smoothly from there. They have a lot of runners bringing out the food, and offering additional condiments or other things you might need, like more water or napkins. There are several reasons that I'm downgrading the rating from a previous visit. $18 for a plain Belgian waffle? No fruit, garnish, whipped cream, just melted butter and a very small amount of syrup. It looked more substantial because we added eggs and bacon for $3 more. The latter seems like a good deal, because the eggs were well prepared. Only two slices of bacon, though. DH and I split the plate. $21 for a plain waffle, scrambled eggs, and two pieces of bacon does seem excessive. We added a side of hash browns, which were plentiful, but were also oily. I don't remember having hash browns in another restaurant which were that greasy, so that was a fail. $9 for two cups of decaf coffee? That also seemed on the high side, especially when a tiny (and I do mean tiny!) addition of oat milk for creamer was $1.50. Really? And yet, they offered mini portions of hazelnut or French vanilla creamer for free. But we didn't know that ahead of time. A large glass of lukewarm pineapple juice was $6. I had to ask for a glass of ice cubes to be able to chill the juice down to where it tasted good. By the way, the waffle was slightly overcooked for my preference, making it more crunchy than I enjoy. Overall, it was $50 for a breakfast that DH and I split, just adding the hash browns and juice to stretch the meal. Service was good. It was the kitchen that let down the team. Also, ambiance-wise, the airport has added a large row of hangars to the northwest of the restaurant, which dramatically cuts down the view of the planes taking off and landing. That's actually another fail for the appeal of dining here. It's likely going to be a while before we return. Sad to report today's experience, but that's what it turned out to be - not the lovely little secret getaway of the past.

Everything we tried was absolutely delicious. Everyone in our group ordered something different, so we got to sample a little bit of everything, but my personal favorite was the Hangover. Their cappuccinos were also really good, and we loved the pancakes, bacon, chicken fried steak, chili, spicy chicken sandwich, and honestly... the list goes on and on!

Waitresses try their best but seem stretched too thin to be very attentive. You are made to use Cakes online ordering and wait list program which is less than ideal because of their slow WiFi. While waiting for a table you are updated on your place in line. On our last visit we waited as next to be seated for 20 minutes as multiple large parties showed up late and were seated immediately. We were told they were friends of the owner and there's nothing they could do but the staff hates it- for what that's worth. Today my Avocado toast left much to be desired. Sourdough tastes like dry thin sliced white bread. Small amount of smashed Avocado; not enough to cover the bread topped with less than fresh pico da gallo, arugula a balsamic drizzle and 3 slices of tomato that were marinated in Italian dressing. All things I like but the combination was not good. BLTA used the same disappointing bread, flaccid under cooked bacon a tiny amount of pesto aioli and more avocado then there was on the avocado toast. Kids mini pancakes were good but chocolate chips are $1 up charge. I will say yesterday's eggs Benedict was good- hollandaise is excellent. Breakfast potatoes were a bit undercooked. Bloody Mary was a bit weak in my opinion. After all of that- I got a look at the receipt and there is a 2% BOH RevShare added to the bill. My best guess is this is fee to help pay the kitchen- To be honest we went here because it was a short walk from the Hilton. After the poor service, bad quality and hidden fees- we would be better off eating on the resort.
