the restaurant was not busy when we arrived for lunch. i ordered a fried breaded chicken sandwich and fries plus sweet tea. when my food arrived, I have never seen that amount of grease on fries. the paper liner on the plate was saturated from grease. I don't believe the temperature on their fryer was correct because fries were horrible with grease and undercook. I cut into my sandwich and the entire middle was raw chicken, not a spot but the whole breast. I took the food back to the kitchen and they said they would make a new sandwich. that sandwich came out with the smallest piece of chicken and so over cooked the breaded coating was a hard shell. my husbands hamburger was tasteless and he had the same overly greasy fries. so disappointed as I wanted to try out a cute restaurant located on a landing strip. will not be going back. read more

I wanted to share some feedback from our recent visit. We noticed on the receipt that we were charged $4.00 for the pie, even though the menu listed it as $3.25. When we asked about it, we were told the whiteboard price reflected inflation, but it was a little confusing since the menu hadn't been updated. Also, the pie didn't have meringue on the entire piece, which was a bit disappointing. The chicken from the bar wasn't up to temperature (although the fish was), and the hamburger was very dry and had a cardboard-like texture. I personally found most of the food to be overly salty, but that may just be my preference. We also noticed the customers ahead of us returned their chicken sandwich because it was undercooked. That said, the atmosphere was fantastic--watching the plane take off was a really cool experience! We also appreciated being sent home with drinks to go, and our server was very kind and knowledgeable about the menu. read more

Visited hanger kafe... found a hair in the fries. The fries it's self was very greasy and soggy. Had one piece of bacon in the bacon cheeseburger which is 2$ more than the regular cheeseburger. Literally one bacon strip difference between the two. We paid four dollars for the mac & cheese side which is exactly like the craft mac & cheese that you can buy a whole pack for a dollar at Walmart... I was very disappointed it was just a little bowl for the price. Won't be visiting anytime soon. read more

For a restaurant in the middle of nowhere, this place can get busy, especially if they're skydiving. Don't be in a hurry, but the food is worth the wait. I had the pork tenderloin sandwich and onion rings. Sandwich was very good and I would rate the onion rings somewhere in my top 3. Deb had the French Dip. She said it was real roast beef not out of a deli package and really good. Cheyenne was our waitress and she was hopping the whole time we were there but still was able to take care of everybody. She is an asset. Lots of model planes hanging from the ceiling. Interesting place, we also got to watch a few skydivers drop into the pasture close by. read more

Past 4 years truly enjoyed eating here, but new ownership ... manager yelled at staff within earshot of seated customers, food took 35 minutes to arrive, nice waitress kept refilling drinks explaining she didn't know what was going on. Entrees were devoid of flavor, salad bar had wilted iceberg lettuce and four toppings, broccoli from bag was served cold in middle, just so disappointing after years of fabulous home cooked meals. Something here needs to change, revitalized, made better. For us longtime customers feels like its soul is gone ... read more

Finding a good breakfast in a rural area usually isn't this easy. I had the Cub breakfast with bacon, hash browns and toast with a half order of biscuits and gravy on the side. The hash browns were barely cooked, which is the way most restaurants serve them. I prefer hash browns cooked crispy and BROWN, so I wish I'd had the pancake option instead. The biscuit was so hard it could be cut with a knife only with great difficulty. So it and the gravy were basically inedible. The chief attraction here is the location and unusual decor. read more

You have to want to get here. Especially at 7:30 on a late fall night. We kept following the signs and wondering what we were getting ourselves into. (Note, I think this is the last week the restaurant is open until 9 PM. A sign on the door said starting November 1, it would close at 3 PM.) As we finally saw a dimly lit runway and a fairly well-lit Quonset hut, we felt a bit better. The restaurant has quite a few tables but there was only one other family dining there. The staff was bare-bones (waitress, busser, cook) but everything was friendly. The burgers were some of the best old-fashioned ones we've had in a long time. Onion rings were definitely homemade and delicious. I tried the sweet potato fries. If you like sweet, order them. They are sprinkled with sugar so be prepared. I'll order onion rings next time. Looked like there was homemade nightly specials (ham, mashed potatoes, green beans) and homemade dessert (gooseberry cobbler). I would love to visit during the daylight. There's a large outdoor are with some vintage cars. I also would like to delve into the history of the place. There were a lot of interesting framed photos and artifacts inside. See it out! read more

Finally made it over to this place today for lunch. Wife had Chicken Fried Steak (the lunch special) with mashed potatoes & okra. I tried hers, and I had chicken strips with fries. All in all pretty good, and the server was busting her butt taking care of a busy lunch crowd alone. Well done, young lady! read more

This restaurant was a bit of a drive for us but totally worth it. We took a day trip down to Joplin from Springfield and stopped her for breakfast on our way. The restaurant is at an air strip. You can sky dive if you want. We enjoyed sitting in the restaurant and watching others sky dive while we sipped coffee and ate. The menu is full of American classics. I had the pancakes with eggs, bacon, and a sausage patty. My husband had an omelette with a side of biscuits and gravy. Very tasty. We had great service and a fun time. Definitely drive out to try this place. You won't regret it. read more

Drove an hour to visit the Hanger Kafe. Checked multiple sources confirming that the restaurant was open until 6 pm, including Google and their own website. Upon arrival at 4:50 pm, I walked up to the door where the hours were also posted. The sign on the door indicated they closed at 6 pm. I pulled on the doors. Locked. I looked inside and saw employees moving around. I called and I could see the employees debating on whether or not to answer. Finally, someone answers and I asked if they knew the front door was locked. The employee told me they were closed so I asked if they knew it was only 5 pm. The employee told me that the hours posted on the door, on their own website, and on Google were wrong. As I turned to leave, a woman opened the door and asked, very rudely, if I had a problem. I'm assuming this is the owner that is mentioned negatively in other reviews. I informed her that my problem was that I drove an hour to eat at the restaurant and was disappointed that they were closed when they were supposed to be open. She then informed me that their hours are based on the skydiving business. When I asked her where this information was available, she couldn't answer. My advice is if you decide to try this establishment, don't trust the posted hours and be prepared to be treated poorly by the staff read more

Food was great! Service was good! Loved looking at all the older planes on the ceiling.

Was out back roading and stoped by here for lunch. Had the bacon cheeseburger with curly fries and it was fantastic, next time around probably try the onion rings they seem to be popular here. Great little place, super clean, staff was pleasant, and on a nice day lots of outdoor seating. Think they are only open till 3:00p now but if you happen to be out that way it's a nice little place to grab lunch and relax and if your lucky you might see a skydiving plane land or take off. read more

We were traveling Route 66 and decided to stop here for an early dinner. The meal was delicious, and our waitress, Crystal, was wonderful. The decor was great, and the restrooms were super clean. I would love to go back! read more

Service was not the best, but it was because they were under staffed. Food, however, was really tasty and affordable. We also enjoyed the "vibe" of the place-- worth the drive. It is family friendly and staff were very polite. They apologized profusely for the bad service. We'll go back. read more

Hangar Kafe - We sat outside and had their steak special. This rib eye was ordered rare and was very tasty. The potato was undercooked. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Miller, Missouri

Awful food followed up with worse service. They rely on unique atmosphere and skydiving. Clearly don't care or focus on repeat business. Wouldn't ever go back read more

Good burgers, onion rings. Service was good. Interesting setting at an airfield and also in the middle of farmland. Quiet and peaceful and a chance to watch airplanes. They close at 5! read more

Oh my goodness...... the Pilot Beef Melt. Best. Sandwich. Ever. I have no idea how they cook the beef, but it is so tender and so full of flavor. I had the onion rings with it....crunchy but not greasy...delicious! My husband had the Philly Cheesesteak sandwich.... Loved it. Our server was friendly and efficient. Great job! This place is just fun....so peaceful. We will be back. read more

Extremely long wait for food and quality was ok. They had a really good cook but apparently the family couldn't get along and forced her out. Quality has suffered. read more

Best food, Unique dining experience! Airplanes, Hot Air Balloons, Skydiving!! Banquet room for rent for your party or meeting needs!

Fantastic food, lots to look at, view of sky divers coming down about 200 yards away (if not closer) and planes taking off behind the building, along with classic cars, festival days, balloon & plane rides; we'll def be back. The staff were super nice and on Sunday at 1pm they were SLAMMED. What a find! read more

This place with off the beaten Path, but on our way to Branson it was worth stopping at. The kids really enjoy walking around outside and checking out some of the stuff around the building, staff was very friendly, food was very fast and pretty delicious read more

Waited forever for our food and when it finally came it was cold! Other people who came after us were served before us. The service was rude too! I wouldn't come back! read more

Horrible food. Waited over 45 minutes. Horrible service. They talked about us to other employees. Do not recommend this place to anyone. Stay away. read more

First $100 hamburger for a student pilot! Actually, I had the pork tenderloin sandwich on the waitress's recommendation. Service was good and the meat on the sandwich was about twice the size of the bun. Good food and a really neat place. Will be back. read more

Neat place in an off the beat location, the Hangar Kafe is a fun place to visit any time of the year. They have awesome specials, great selection, and quality food. I had the baked chicken tenders, which were not my favorite, but hubs had a steak that was really good. In the summer you can watch the planes come in through the huge glass wall. Nice visit if you're taking a trip down 96. read more

Several other reviews noted poor service. I am really glad we found this place by recommendation before I read those! Our whole experience was great. The server was prompt, knowledgeable, and responsive. The atmosphere is fantastic, especially the friendly local diners. And our food was exceptional. My French dip melted in my mouth with au jus that was absolutely homemade. We were all full, but the recommendation cited their cobbler. I am so glad! Homemade, juicy, and wonderful. I am so glad we stopped here! ! read more

Been there three times. Disappointed in the service all three times. They were not understaffed either. Food is average, service is horrible. First visit: got bacon cheese fries. The bacon was Baco's bacon bits. Come on, really? Second visit: couldn't get my ice tea refilled. Third visit: got seated by the host/cashier, bright sweet tea when I asked for unsweetened. Never got waited on. Three ladies on the floor, including me there were four tables seated. No one took our order. They all congregated in the back. One just walked around in the phone. I will NEVER go back. read more

I don't normally give a bad review, but this place was disappointing. We traveled from Springfield, MO to here to eat. We arrived at 10:50 a.m. We walked in were seated. The waitress took our order. She was good at keeping the drinks filled, however the tea had an "old" taste. After 45 minutes we finally got our food. My wife had chicken strips and tater tots. I had a pork tenderloin sandwich with onion rings. Other than the fact the onion rings were not done, the food was bland. When we were leaving, we told the waitress that we were dissatisfied, and she acted like she didn't care. Will never go back. read more

Stopped in after we saw the sign Hwy 96. Good food,(could have been warmer) friendly service, neat decor.

If they are going to close early they need change their website to reflect it so people that drive a long distance (over 100miles) to eat there knows they are closed. read more

we visited this restaurant on Saturday during their 3rd anniversary celebration. it was our first time there. the ambience was cool, if you love airplanes you'll enjoy it. the food and service were far below par from what we expected. we waited an hour to get our food once ordered and it was salty and meat was over cooked. the potatoes tasted as if they were made from powder. for the distance we drove to try this place it was not worth it at all. the events they had at the airport were good and the classic vehicles were a treat. however, we will not be back. a waste of time. read more
