Waitresses are sweetharts. We've been there four times. Problem, breakfast food does not come out hot enough. Eggs luke warm, beans the same, i had to send back biscuit & gravy because not hot. Food must come out hot. I even asked Waitress to put my biscuit in microwave because gravy cold. Great place but remember breakfast food must be hot. Just saying. read more

What I really loved about this place was the ambiance and vibe. It's a classic country diner vibe with a fun local airport atmosphere. Food is basic and burgers are obviously frozen patties. But not bad if you set your culinary expectations to a realistic level. Prices are a bit too high for the quality of food imo. I got the hanger burger which was quantity over quality. I might be back to try something different. read more

I work in Hemet every day but happened to be there on a Saturday with my son and decided to check this place out. Pass it everyday and never even knew it existed. Tiny place right on the airport grounds but full of personality. I ordered the banana nut French toast and it was yummy. My son had a tuna melt and enjoyed it. Great service, cute decor inside and fun to watch planes go by or park in the parking lot so that the pilots can partake of good food. read more

Tiny eatery with GREAT food and EXCELLENT service. You are greeted upon "arrival", your coffee cup is never empty and bid farewell upon departure. Place is decorrated with plane memorabilia and pictures. I like the fact the coffee mugs are unique and change with seasons. read more

Everything about this place is great, the food, the people, the service, I can't say anything bad

Great food with friendly staff plus Airplanes! What more could you want? Plenty of parking with inside/outside seating.

We went here after a run/ hike. We were all super hungry and the food hit the spot! Portions were great, food came out hot and yummy. The staff was super friendly and fast to take care of us. Being able to see airplanes taking off and coming in was fun for the kiddo and adults. read more

Top notch airport cafe. I eat there anytime I'm in Hemet. Always busy which is a good sign.

Been coming to this restaurant for a long time it has always stayed the same and its quality and its performance cleanliness etc. Awesome to see the airplanes land and come in while eating breakfast with your family or friends. read more

Went this morning 01/16/2026 and upon walk in we had to wait at least 10 minutes to be seated, but there were two groups of people that walked in after us and got seated before we did , it was me and my mother we are too African-American ladies, and you never see anyone of our ethnicity there which is fine by me as long as the food and atmosphere is good, but the waitress gave us 2 small kid water cups, and everyone else had full adult cups, so I already thought that was a little weird and when we got our food we asked for our eggs, soft scrambled they came out well done, and they both had cheese on them. Our pancakes were burnt crisp at the bottom and the hashbrowns were not even a whole serving just a sample for each of our plates and they were raw. The waiter would never even come up to us and ask if we need anything or are we OK? She kind of just paid attention more to everybody else .We left the food there untouched got up and left. The waiter was already treating us like we were last, so I would say if you are a different ethnicity rather than Caucasian, or at least have Caucasian family members with you I would not go there because you will get treated unfairly. read more

Really good food, you get what you pay for, clean and nostalgic WWII vibe. Weekends are the best with views of airplanes coming in. Service is nice and friendly, small town vibes. read more

Hangar One Cafe - The front of the CAFE - Diners Near Me - Hemet, California

Came here after visiting the museum The atmosphere is cute Tables crowded Kind of pricey for average portions And mediocre food Nothing to write home about 10.95 for a plain hot dog?..... Like okay. The bread on my order felt stale It was cute but I wouldn't come back I'd prefer to spend 70 somewhere else on 3 meals and 4 beverages read more

Amazing breakfast! The wait was considerable but those in line said it was well worth it so we stayed. Those waiting told us they dine at Hanger One Cafe weekly. The best breakfast ever! The best made and tasting bacon, eggs, pancakes, and hash browns cooked to perfection!! My husband had eggs benedict and said the same. Absolutely amazing. 10++! read more

I had a good hamburger. The atmosphere was typical small airport fare. The clientele was a nice mixture of CalFire personnel, pilots and familys. read more

Service was great and portions large. It's surely a local spot, off the beaten path and all but worth the trip.

Such a cute cafe that will remind you of yesteryear! We were visiting some folks nearby and didn't know about this place. I guess we're the only ones who didn't since I understand it gets very crowded. We arrived at 11am and walked right in. Now at noon, all 9 tables inside are filled so we better git! (You are asked to limit your stay to 45 min due to demand...unless it isn't crowded, I suppose.) So, the history of the building: it was the bunkhouse for the Hemet Airfield and was opened in September 1940. ''14,000 Army Cadets were trained to fly Pt Stearmans in defense of our nation.'' Currently, it is a private airport. In the distance, we saw a plane take off and another land. We would have had a better view if we had sat outdoors. Our waitress said the cafe has been open about 15 years. So, on to the cafe. It really had a nice vibe to it. Quaint. Lots of senior men in military hats and it ''seemed'' like a place where ''every body knows your name.'' It isn't what I'd call bargain prices but I thought it was a good value for what you got. I ordered bacon and eggs. It came with hash browns(or home fries) and either toast, buscuit&gravy, or a pancake. My 4 slices of bacon(crispy) and eggs (over well) came just as I ordered them. $10.45 My breakfast companion had the Deuce's Wild...2 pancakes, 2 eggs, 2 links or bacon for $8.75. He got the French toast so I guess it's OK to substitute. (I took half of my biscuit&gravy home plus shared part with him along with half of my hash browns...big helpings.) Our server's name was Alana. A very pleasant person and efficient with her job. She hummed and even dance a little while she worked. How often do you see that? She clearly enjoyed being there and made us feel welcomed. We noticed a cat eating at bowls on the patio; the owner and/or staff must be animal lovers too. Extra points for that! Lastly, the decor is, not surprisingly, aviation themed. Fun to see all the stuff hanging on the walls. We'll be back. read more

Honestly don't come in and even sign in they will definitely disregard your time and have tables available and clean and still not seat you. As soon as you walk in they make it clear you WILL wait feels like they want to turn you away. read more

Hidden gem in Hemet. I lived here for 5 years and went for the first time today. Great service, cute establishment, and yummy food. My husband said it was the best bacon he's ever had.

Grew up in the area & had never been here till today. It's a fun little spot where you can eat breakfast & watch planes take off. Hence "Hanger". They have plane memorabilia on all the walls which was cute. We were greeted right upon sitting & we're ordering then eating shortly after. Our server was very attentive. I had the BLT which was light & the perfect little lunch. My table got the chili verde omelette & they said it was pretty darn good. One person in my party had the pancake as a side & said it was one of the best pancakes they'd ever had! It's a fun little spot to check out for sure! read more

Absolutely amazing cute little place to go when you are in Hemet. One thing that blew me away was the quick service, they always topped off your coffee and would immediately take the trash from coffee packets of sugar or creamer off the table (sometimes without you noticing). The menu seemed small which is no downer because the food is great; however, experiencing how great this place was I really couldn't get enough and would appreciate new menu items. Still gets 5 stars from me (everything else made up for the small menu) The place is full of nice airplane themed decorations, even with some toy airplanes hanging from the ceiling which looked signed (giving them so much more personality and inherent value). If you are in hemet, this place would be the perfect spot to start your morning. read more

I was looking forward to eating here and bringing my husband along so he can experience what I thought was a good experience that I had some time ago. First I called to see if they were busy at 12:45p, 01-20-24, the female who answered said they were not and she didn't know if they would remain open on account that it's slow and raining and not enough business. I thought that was a strange thing to say especially to a customer, it really didn't sound welcoming. I laughed about it and ignored it, thought no problem I would still go. Don't know if rainy days is not there thing but it wasn't a very welcoming environment-- The young woman told us we could sit anywhere and I noticed if they don't know you or if you are not a regular your treatment is not the same. The young woman was not really that talkative didn't really make any conversation but she did ask what we wanted to drink and when asked what the specials were she said she would tell us and gestured towards the other female. That was another strange interaction so just like in a sales interaction she TO'd us. The other person came over and she described the special which was not really appetizing and later she took our order. Anyway, we proceeded to wait for our food and in interim a person came in and she welcomed him with a big smile and asked if others in his party would be coming in because if they weren't she planned to close early because basically it wasn't worth it to her to stay open because at that point she was just paying for the people there. I was dismayed that she would be talking out loud and saying those things. It sounds impolite, ungrateful and unprofessional despite the fact that we are there, she should at least be grateful for our patronage but she seemed negative and disappointed. Later the other people in individual's party joined him and she welcomed them with a very friendly welcome and stood talking to them for a good amount of time, didn't even ask if we wanted refills, I had to wave the young woman to fill my cup. When she told them about the specials she mentioned the sandwich and this time she added another item, some soup, which she had not mentioned to us. I thought to myself why would she not tell us about that, was she only wanting to reserve it for her friends? Don't know and I figured I would just eat what I ordered and the only good thing was that I liked my meal. The whole experience was strange especially for being a small place and only 7 people including ourselves yet they didn't seem to extend the same friendly interaction to us. Anyway, I also wanted to add that the business adds a surcharge or a checkout fee 2%-4% if you use a credit card which by the way I don't know if that was stated anywhere either at the door or on the menu or on the table. I think that's unfair and a sneaky practice. Anyhow, I will say goodbye to Hangar One Cafe and I don't plan on going back there again, too bad not even the tasty french toast is enough to change my mind. read more

Hangar One Cafe - That Kentucky Hot Brown yum yum in the Tum Gravylicious! - Diners Near Me - Hemet, California

This place (Insert F-'in, ROCK!!! I'm a classic breakfast kind of guy, so this place was awesome to me.

The Big Bear airport Pilots Association flies out to breakfast nearly every Wednesday morning and Hangar One Cafe Cafe is one of our favorites. The service is great, the staff are super friendly, the prices are extremely reasonable and the food is always excellent. I've had a cheeseburger here before and it was excellent but yesterday I ordered the "Hangar Burger" and I have to tell you it was out of this world, one of the best hamburgers I've ever had. You'll need a big mouth because this thing stacks high and you won't leave hungry. I think it was only 10 bucks. I highly recommend this on the menu. I know that I'm duplicating my order the next time we fly in! Cheeseburgers....My New Breakfast Food!! read more
