This is a locally owned spot by a family that is Aggieland through and through. Located at the far end of the College station airport this place is great for watching the planes land and take off while enjoying a high quality meal. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The menu is always updating for seasonal freshness while maintaining the classics. Whether for lunch or for dinner this is a great spot to take business associates or friends for a great meal. read more

I'd rate it less than 1 if it would let me. My wife and I were celebrating our 41st anniversary. It was my first time at the restaurant. What should have been a great time was an abhorrent disaster. 9pm reservations...waited 10mins at the hostess station only to not get a table on the runway. 2 guys that came in 5mins after us were seated there. Waited another 8-10mins for our server to show up. The 2 guys on the runway, served before us. My wife's steak burger ($25) was charred on the outside and had spots of bright pink meat in it. Fries were passably warm. My dinner consisted of a charred/burned on one side chicken fried steak, cold baked potato that didnt even melt the butter or cheese and cold Codycorn. Manager took my entree off the bill, which is the least that should be done. Offered us dessert, out of half of them. The worst part of all was having to look at my wife who was very sad that I didn't get a meal. Thank you JCody and Gate 12 for robbing us of our once in a lifetime celebration.!!! read more

Great service and yummy food. We made reservations for my son's ring day and we weren't disappointed. We went at 4:45 when it wasn't super busy. My son had a filet and I had chicken. The potato skins were really good. We didn't see any planes taking off or landing but the atmosphere was nice regardless. read more

Finally got around to taking the family here for dinner and we were not disappointed. First off, for those of us old enough to remember, it's in the old terminal at Easterwood. It has a very unique old school airport vibe, decorated in tons of aircraft and airport pictures and memorabilia with a touch of Texas A&M. Our server (forgot his name, I am so sorry) was amazing. He was always available when we needed him, our drinks never went empty and he made excellent recommendations. I had the Chicken fried chicken and it was on point, My wife had the beef stroganoff and my son had the shrimp and grits, all were delicious and great portions. We loved watching the airplanes take off and land at night. We Weill definitely return. read more

Love watching the planes takeoff and land while grabbing a bite to eat. Great salads, sweet potato fries are amazing and the brisket hamburger never disappoints. read more

I usually don't write negative reviews because in general we have had good experiences. Excellent view of course so can't beat that. However, we went for lunch the other day, a friend and me. We ordered the fish tacos but asked if it could be blackened. I also asked if the mac n cheese could be subbed for fries. The waiter said yes for both. We get the bill and it was an extra $3 fo blacken the fish and an extra $2 for the mac n cheese sub. The waiter never informed us of this. Not only that but the "blackening" of the fish was very poorly done- the fish was barely seasoned and the fish was dry. However i'm not one to send a dish back so i ate it. Upon finding out about our $3 additional charge, we asked if he would talk to the manager about removing it from our bill. The waiter came back only to tell us the manager said no. For $3, they chose to flush their customer service down the toilet. I was with a friend who was trying to save money so i also felt bad for her in particular that they took advantage and refused to do the right thing. I wasn't even going to fight the $2 mac n cheese sub. Anyways, customer service should always be a restaurant's priority because it is a huge aspect of a customer's experience. In this town in particular, we are known for customer service. I wouldn't be as surprised to get this type of person say in houston but even there they would probably take off the $3 charge that wasn't communicated. Now let's talk a little bit more on the overcooked tacos. the tacos comes with an aoli sauce on them already but also has some guacamole ans salsa. i love that. However what goes with guacamole and salsa? chips! Do they include chips? no, you get beans as your side. I don't understand the logic to this dish at all. Who wants to put guacomole, plus salsa on a taco that's already covered in an aoli sauce. Clearly, there needs to be more adjustments in this dish in particular. I felt bad for my friend who has just moved into town a few months ago to be given a distasteful experience at a local restaurant that i recommended none the less... We deserve better BCS. read more

Not what I expected at all. We made 2pm reservations and were told at 1:52 that it would be a moment, understandable cuz we're early... ended up being 25min. Then set at the table for another 10 before we ever got a waitress. Another 15min before the kids drinks came out. It was a 2 hour lunch. The crab cakes had good flavor but no lump meat so soft, the calamari was terrible! The texture was overcooked and hard. The chicken fried steak was good, green beans cooked perfectly, but overall... im not going back because the delays in service & time to get drinks & food was ridiculous. And it wasn't the waitresses fault, they were short staffed, busy. Managers should've been helping servers more. But PS the bread & kids macaroni were really good read more

The service was outstanding. The atmosphere is clean and fun. The food was good. Our group ordered the chicken fried steak, the cobb salad, the bacon cheddar burger, the friend green tomatoes, and key lime pie. Everything was cooked well and very flavorful. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was that order of fried green tomatoes consists of five very thinly sliced tomatoes for $12. I thought that was a bit pricey for five, thin, small tomato slices. They are seasoned and fried well though. read more

Holy mother of large servings! This is a great spot for a burger. Service was phenomenal, very attentive. The food came out very quick as well. Everything was delicious, I would definitely visit again. read more

The food felt to be extremely overpriced for what it was. I spent $30-$40 on a beef stroganoff that felt mediocre for the price. The service was good and attentive. The ambiance of getting to view the planes that come in is a neat concept. We ate at night so we did not see any. Overall I would not come back to eat here because it was too expensive for the quality of the food. read more

It was unexpected to find a restaurant at the airport of this caliber. Feels very high class with the dress of the staff. Loved the view of the planes flying in and out. We were started with bread and two types of oil, olive and a chili. The plates were very generous and my soup and salad lunch special was so filling. I will make an effort to come back for sure. read more

What a fun experience!! Great drinks and amazing service! Excellent food! Try the sliders! Graced with pilots in training from different areas of the US--always a pleasure to see who is flying! read more

Food is overpriced. Steaks were overcooked and chewy. The view was the best part- watching planes take off and land.

Gate 12 was a great experience, especially after ring day. I ate the Reuben and it was excellent, a good amount of meat in the sandwich. The 1000 island dressing sauce was great on it as well. We placed reservations months ahead and had a booth seat without view of the runway but the company made up for it. Great service came along with that, and we were checked on and taken care of. Great place highly recommend! read more

Really nice food... and great atmosphere!!! I highly recommend this restaurant. We had a very nice evening together.

Honest review- Hostess - well dressed, professional and personalable Waiter - Gavin: young man is He was vibrant and knew the drinks and menu well. When we come back, it'll be on his shift. Drinks - I drink old fashions. I went ahead and sampled all of them. The maple butter, old fashioned is easily the best I've ever had. While they were all great, this one was phenomenal! Food - the potato wedges were really dry. Sorry guys, this is an honest review. The pork ribeye didn't have any flavor. The grill was the only flavor, so I had to add little salt and pepper to zazz it up a little. The Gate 12 filet was perfect. The entire plate looked and tasted great! The steak was seasoned and cooked (medium rare) perfect! The Cody corn and potatoes sat in a glaze that I'd usually bark at, but it was a great addition. I will probably end up spending enough here to put these kids through college. Service- 5/5 Appearance - 5/5 Drinks - 6/5 Food - 4.8/5 read more

Early in June, we did a team dinner on a Thursday as we concluded our work week. With so many dining options in the area and people having certain preferences, it can be challenging finding a place that comforts everyone. Gotta give props to my SE Richard though for finding and suggesting this place. He also mentioned the location and that it's on location with the local airport so you can see planes come and go as you dine. Now that's a dining experience I'm down for! As we all arrived, we got greeted by our server Tim who accommodated us and gave us his recommendations regarding drinks and food. Decided on a martini first (shaken, not stirred) before ordering a William Chris Skeleton Cabernet for my meal. They have a wine list representing Texas wines which is a nice touch. Now, for food. We had a mix of preferences so a lot of different dishes were ordered with some shrimp dishes (shrimp & grits; shrimp vera cruz), chicken dishes (basil alfredo pasta w/ chicken, chicken madeira, chicken scallopini), the apricot/horseradish glazed salmon, cobb salad, the ribeye steak, and grilled portabella (vegetarian). All the dishes tasted fine as everyone enjoyed their meals. I had the salmon which had great flavor from the glaze. The bourbon carrots had a nice bourbon touch although the carrots were tough. Other popular sides were the codycorn which people liked. The steak was cooked a perfect medium rare although there was a mix-up with the order and the steak didn't arrive until after everyone was nearly done with their meals due to a miscommunication with the kitchen. Fortunately, Tim recognized the steak situation and helped remedy the situation by offering a complimentary dessert to the team member who decided on the caramel macchiato cheesecake. The cheesecake was delicious although very heavy (since it's cheesecake). That caused a chain reaction with our table as other members decided on desserts including the creme brulee, key lime pie, and apple pie; all of which were finished leaving everyone smiling and happy. Props to Tim for his customer service and being attentive to us. Overall, it was an enjoyable dining experience that we look forward to again when we're back in College Station. read more

Had a Customer dinner here. The food is fantastic. I had a filet mignon that was extremely tender and topped with a delicious sauce. The french fries with it and asparagus were also fantastic. Both of my guests had the grouper which was the special of the day and they loved it. The waiter was very efficient. Made sure that we had everything we needed and repeat repeatedly took good care of us. Outstanding service will come back to this place whenever I can. read more

We were referred here by the docents at the nearby George Bush library and we were quite impressed with the experience. We were seated promptly and served fresh bread with some zesty dipping oils. Our waiter was kind, patient, and attentive (he checked in with us often, and was conscious of our time as we need to be back in Houston to catch a flight). I wasn't expecting to have such an enjoyable meal, as this restaurant bordered a small airport, but boy was I wrong! Mom had a chowder with ham and a thick piece of bread, myself a pastrami sandwich (recommended by our waiter) and a bowl of fruit as my side. Great stuff. Kids and adults will appreciate the aerospace theme throughout, and the staff is dressed in appropriate garb to fit that appearance. Bravo! I have nothing but sky high praise to the chefs and staff at Gate 12. read more

Came to Gate 12 for dinner before heading back home to Houston. It was a nice place to sit where you can see the planes take off and landing. What an amazing experience. Service was ok, wish the gentleman would be more pleasant. He wasn't rude but he didn't seem to be happy to be there neither. Food was just ok. I didn't find anything memorable about the food. read more

Been going here for sometime now. Good food, awesome staff and bartenders and a really great sunset view!!! If you're into whiskeys and bourbons, they don't have a huge selection but what they have is substantial and well thought out and worth checking out!! read more

Went here recently and had an amazing time! Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of the beautiful steak dinner I had ordered but I can give you a visual description. So I started out with a delicious ceaser salad and a Jim and coke. My server was absolutely wonderful and friendly. I enjoyed the view as well. I'm a big kid when it comes to airplanes, so getting to see them take off and land, it was just awesome. For my main course I ordered a special they had that night, (full disclosure...may not get this description completely accurate as it's been about 3 weeks..); the special was a huge ribeye with mushrooms and demiglaze. I can't remember the sides but damn it was all so good! I wanted dessert...BELIEVE ME I did but I was just too full. Needless to say, an amazing night and I'll definitely be back again, next time with friends! read more

Three stars is all I can give a place at a private airport and I know the owners. The theme is unique. They have a prop from Enola Gay in the bar. The food was good. Steaks were cooked to order and had great flavor. Sides were the weakness according to 5 of our 6. Appetizers were rather limited and general. Decent bar selection but if im wanting a great steak and wine combo they need some help. read more

Went here with some friends for dinner night before the A&M/SC game (10/27/23) and saw the Leap Frogs go out and do a practice jump to the stadium. We got here early enough before the crowds waited for their tables. Got a whiskey as we waited and enjoyed the open bar space. The bartender was nice and made some solid drinks for the ladies. Then we got seated at a long table and started with calamari, fried mozzarella sticks, and stuffed mushrooms. All of these were good starters that both kids and adults enjoyed. Enjoyed my Apricot Horseradish Salmon (though a little small) plate with asparagus. The waiter was friendly and gave some great recommendations and I highly enjoyed the cool atmosphere. read more

Marvelous environment-outdoor, bar, booth or party table options. Filet perfectly cooked and flavorful. Calamari light ( wasn't a fan of the sauce tasted like either barbecue or spicy ketchup)-sweet potato waffle fries fresh some crispy some soft mix..came with sweet cinnamon butter. Crème Bruelle was fantastic. Buttermilk pie was horrible but still giving it a 5 as service was top notch. Bread was soft and came with garlic and other chili oils! read more

Amazing, great quality food. Our server was respectful, speedy, attentive, and a Gent! Ambiance was a must! Loved it!

Made a reservation for Father's Day and arrived on time. Our table which was being cleaned was given away to a loud rude demanding customer. Once seated our waiter never came back for drink order and food ordering. We watched as another waiter took drink and food orders for other tables who were seated well after we were seated. We felt unappreciated and ignored. I guess if you want to be loud and rude you can get service. read more

The servers here are great, absolutely amazing hard working kids. The, what i'm assuming were managers, were horrible. The way they treat their employees is unbelievable, I heard it first hand a few times when I was in the restaurant. Maybe they should get up and start doing the hard work their employees are doing for them before treating them like crap. The food was overpriced and wasn't the best quality especially for the price. Do not waste your money here. read more

Good food and great service. Very cool being able to look out at the runway. Very nice place.

Disappointed today eating here. Took a tremendous long wait to get our order. Some of the food was cold and was not supposed to be. My Ruben sandwich was barely edible with all the fat a grisel in it. Worst meal I've ever had here which was surprising because it's used to be pretty good. read more

We were greeted right away for our lunch reservation, seated at a table near the window to view the planes taking off and landing. Our waiter took our drink orders and brought us fresh bread with a chili oil and herb infused oil for dipping. Both really good. We ordered from the lunch menu. Sirloin steak with asparagus and a baked potato. Steak was cooked perfectly and the asparagus had a nice grill. The baked potato was huge!! The mahi mahi tacos were delicious. At the suggestion of our waiter, ordered the fish blackened. My friend had to stop and "take a moment" as she said they were the best fish tacos she'd ever had. I had the buffalo chicken sandwich. The crust was perfect, chicken very juicy and the right amount of spice in the buffalo sauce. I opted for sweet potato fries. They were good. Wasn't a fan of the sweet butter for the fries. I got a side of ranch instead. Overall a great experience. All of the staff were very friendly and checked on us often. After we left we received a call that our friend had dropped her ID and credit card. Just in time for us to turn around and retrieve them. Good bull!! Only four stars as the noise level is very high. If anyone in your party has sensory issues, this is not the place. read more
