    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 !!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    This was just from 1 order- chicken fried steak!

    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.

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.

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!

The blonde server who was there at 7 am Sunday 6/14 (i have seen her before) with the ponytail probably in her 40s was very snarky and condescending! She opened the door at literally two minutes of, saying you are two minutes early! But I will let you in this time. I said thanks, it is cold and misty out there smiling. She turned to me and snarled it is two minutes early! just say thank you!

He made a great cappuccino so this was surprising to have it just be coffee with a little milk. BTW the breakfast sandwich that was supposed to have scrambled eggs and arugula had an almost invisible tiny flat piece of fried egg White and three little arugula leaves and that's it - chocolate almond croissant had maybe one molecule of almond paste and one molecule of chocolate nothing like they used to be so I'm wondering if it is under new ownership?
