Jet Runway cafe is still the most do hidden gem of Fort Lauderdale! You'd never think there would be a restaurant tucked away next to the executive airport in Fort Lauderdale but there is! The food variety is vast and everything looks incredible on the menu. They have a fantastic brunch menu I have to try at some point but I can't get over how much I love the runway wrap! I get it on spinach and the chicken throughout is perfect. I also think the homecooked fries are top notch. You can tell they put a lot of effort when then fries are this good! They are a thick cut fry that isn't too heavily fried. On a hot day seeing the heatwaves transcend from the runway is something out of a movie. It's definitely 150+ degrees on that runway so getting to watch it from the cool A/C indoors is a blast. You'll never know what type of plane is taking off or landing the entire time so it really makes you want to eat and watch through the window. Can't wait to visit again soon read more

The question I asked myself is, why have I not been here before? This café offers one of the most unique dining experiences in the area. Located right on the edge of an executive airport runway, it provides a front-row seat to aviation activity while you eat. Throughout the meal, I watched private jets, small aircrafts, and helicopters taxi, take off, and land just a short distance away The atmosphere is relaxed and family-friendly, making it a great spot for both aviation enthusiasts and casual diners for breakfast, brunch and lunch only. The seating area gives unobstructed views of the runway with plenty of windows, and the constant movement of aircraft adds an exciting backdrop. I was lucky enough to get a seat right next to the window. The food was fresh and well-prepared, but what truly sets this café apart is the experience. The menu had such fantastic choices with diverse selections. I ordered the honey lime salmon which came with mashed red potatoes and seasonal vegetables. Salmon was made perfectly, and the dish was prepared of high-quality and a healthy option. If you're looking for a café that's more than just a place to eat, this runway-side gem delivers a memorable combination of good food and nonstop aviation entertainment. The service was very pleasant and attentive. I definitely will be back to try more items on the menu because everything looked delicious! read more

Had a great experience at Jet Runway Café. I ordered the grilled cheese stuffed with macaroni and cheese, along with a creamy tomato bisque on the side, and it was incredible comfort food. My dining companion ordered the crab cakes and couldn't stop talking about how delicious they were. If you go on a Sunday, expect about a 40-minute wait, but we thought it was worth it. I was hoping to see more planes flying by, but overall it was still such a fun experience with really great food. Definitely a spot I'd go back to. read more

Definitely a cute spot to watch planes take off. I didn't really have any complaints about the food other than the toast but that might just be personal preference. The potatoes were cooked very well and I like the variety of fruit they offer in the mixed fruit bowl. read more

Jet Runway Cafe - First Classic - American Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Cool atmosphere of a cafe. The prices are reasonable for such a unique place and the food is better than I would have expected. They don't rely on location to stay in business, it's an overall good place. Great place to bring a fan of aviation to. They're typically busy so try to go on off times. read more

Did I not add this already? I thought I gave a a review. I just went for the first time and it is such a cute place right on the runway. When you walk in try to sit facing the left as that's where the planes are taking off, but everywhere is cute to watch the activity going on outside around you. Delicious food, perfect location. The wait staff is friendly and pleasant. Bathrooms are clean enough, handicap accessible. I got the steak and quinoa bowl which was so delicious that I may have to go back to get it again. I was really impressed with their food portions and the taste of everything because typically if a place has a really cute location they don't have to do as well in the food area, but this place nailed it. The only weird thing was that the bowl was super light and plasticky whereas I thought it would be ceramic. So you do have to hold on to your bowl when you are eating! read more

We come here often but unfortunately this time was not the best. Everything we ordered just came out overcooked/burnt. Maybe there was a new cook back there. The bread pudding was hard and tasted old. It's normally fantastic! The potatoes were borderline burnt, eggs over cooked, cheese as well, croissant and toast over toasted...you get the point. Normally things are very good and consistent here so maybe it was just an off day. read more

Jet Runway Cafe - Breakfast Croissant Sandwich with potatoes - American Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

A fun brunch spot right in the for lauderdale executive airport . The restaurant itself isn't very big . My friends and I were able to get a table on a Sunday morning around 10:30 without an issue . The large windows make it easy to watch smaller planes and helicopters take off and land. A fun place for the kiddos . We had the French toast with the strawberries-was delicious, the avocado toast - yum and an omelette. We like to order a few things . So we all can get a taste of different dishes . read more

It used to be one of our favorite breakfast spots, but there's too many disgruntled employees and lack of help. I had the breakfast burrito which was cold. We had ordered pancakes to come after the meals and they were cold from sitting instead of freshly made. Our server made several comments about upper management, not caring about them. We noticed our server was a bit busy so we asked three different employees a refill on drinks and none of them came to help their fellow co-worker so we waited 10 to 15 minutes. Someone had came by and took our plates which had our silverware we had requested fresh ones, again nobody really helped and we had to wait for our server to come after she was running around. Otherwise, food was good (minus burrito) and it's always fun to watch the planes take off. read more

Wow! It's been a while since I've been blown away by both food and service. Stopped in for breakfast for the first time and was so impressed! The food is great!! The famous fried bread pudding- is a must try!! Seriously! It was delicious- I wasn't sure if I liked bread pudding or not and the waitress was so kind to let me try a small piece. Loved it and the croissant sandwich so much, I ordered both to go for my husband! It's a very small spot within the executive airport- thankfully gps got me there no problem! Of note, there are signs all around pointing where to head to too which is nice. There are large windows that let you peer out to the tarmac to see jets taking off and landing. Pretty cool. They have several tvs inside as well. They serve breakfast and lunch and can be found on uber and door dash too! So glad I finally got to try this place. Will definitely be back again! read more

So today's my birthday and wanted to spend time with my family. My husband and kids at a new place. I saw great reviews here and I love to try out new places to eat. The wait time was good I was told 25 minutes but it was actually 10-13 minutes wait which is great. Upon sitting down greeted by the waitress and she calls me a kid can you say I felt so good because it's my birthday and I'm in my 30s was like YASS!! But back to the review. My daughter had kids meal with is the waffles let's just say the plate was empty. I ordered the first class steak medium with a side of grits which was good. My husband had the hash brown dish and let's just say that was delicious I had some. And the create your own omelette was good too. I will definitely come back to try other dishes Oh yeah btw it's place is nice as its by a small airport and nice view. read more

I'd say this place is worth checking out. It is right by the executive airport and you can watch planes landing and taking off which is really neat. The food is usually pretty decent. Even though it is tasty it is usual not enough to tempt me to come back unless I want to show off the neat view to friends and family. I would avoid going there around noon because they tend to be very busy. This is located nearby several office buildings so it tends to fill up with workers during the lunch rush. As for the interior, I always find it to be quite loud in there. Not from the planes but just from people talking. I think they should consider getting noise absorbing equipment so the chatter is less overwhelming. read more

Jet Runway Cafe - Sausage, eggs and grits! - American Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

I wasn't prepared for how delicious this place would be when I first walked into Jet Runway Café! The vibe is low-key -- the kind of hidden gem that feels like a local secret. Its tucked away. I went on a weekday around 11:30 AM and it was already packed (which says a lot), but the service was still impressively fast and friendly. The menu is American but full of variety -- something for everyone. I ordered the brioche burger with bacon and fries, and it was hands down one of the best burgers I've ever had. Perfectly cooked and flavorful, with crispy fries. I noticed that every plate coming out of the kitchen looked delicious. Such a cool vibe, the planes and helicopters landing right in front of you while you eat. It's like a laid-back brunch with a private air show! I can't wait to come back and try their breakfast and salads next. read more

Jet Runway Cafe - Banyan Burger - American Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

My husband and I came here for breakfast today. Just know upfront -- there was about a 45-minute wait. The inside is small, so it makes sense, but be prepared if you come on a busy morning. The staff was nice and friendly, no complaints there. I will say, the location is really cool. It's literally at the airport, so you can watch the planes take off and land up close while you're eating. That part definitely adds to the experience. After we ordered, it took another 20+ minutes for the food to come out. So between the wait and the kitchen time, breakfast turned into a bit of a process. The food was good overall. Everything was solid except the pancakes. They just weren't it. Overall, good experience. I'd come back. read more

I've been coming here since my oldest was little. Today he had the day off work and asked to take me to breakfast here, as we haven't been in a while. We walked into this bright little restaurant that's hidden away in the Ft Lauderdale Executive airport, at 9ish this Friday morning. Hardly anyone was there, and the hostess told us to pick where we wanted to sit. We already knew what we wanted, so it was an easy and quick order for our waitress, who had greeted us promptly. We didn't wait long before she brought out 2 Full Tanks - his with pancakes, mine with French toast. We sat there by the window watching the planes while enjoying our delicious breakfast - per usual, he ate all his pancakes and half my French toast. This place gets very packed on the weekends, and the menu is for all day long. read more

Jet Runaway Cafe is the runaway best breakfast place in town. The food is great and the portions are substantial. I ordered the "full tank" which has eggs plus bacon and sausage and French toast. The crunchy French toast is worth a visit. You can also watch the private jets fly out from the nearby runway. The cafe has a aviation vibe and the service is usually quick. read more

We came to Jet Runway Cafe for breakfast after church and really enjoyed the experience. The ambiance is neat and relaxed, with great views of the runway where you can watch planes take off, which adds a unique touch to the meal. Service started off a bit slow due to a lack of attentiveness and could have been better, but it wasn't terrible and improved as the visit went on. The food, however, was the highlight. Everything was delicious. I ordered the fried bread pudding, which was a 10/10, along with the Full Tank and the Egg Benedict, and all dishes were well-prepared and satisfying. Overall, it was a good experience and definitely worth another visit. read more

We found this place through Yelp, but how to use Google Maps to ensure that we were close to the area. We went on a Sunday around 1040 and there was a long line but they have this cool system where they asked for your phone number and then they will text you once you're table is ready and they were on point my wait was 25 minutes and at 22 minutes. I got a text. But this place is really popular and I could see why the staff are nice. The place is clean and there's a nice variety of food. My husband had the silver lining salad and that hard bread was delicious. It was like cinnamon cranberry toast, but it was yummy. I ordered the egg Benedict and the potatoes were cooked to perfection. There just wasn't enough hollandaise sauce on my egg Benedict but other than that, it was good and it was nice to look at the Jets landing and leaving and imagine the one percent that I will never be a part of. read more

I have heard about this restaurant from my friends that have children and that it is a very popular restaurant for kids to see all of the airplanes so I wasn't expecting much for the actual food, I was just looking forward to the experience. Once getting there, I was blown away by some of the items on the menu! Everything was delicious! I had the steak and it was really good, would re order. Please keep in mind they don't take reservations and the lines get long, so I recommend going early! read more

Jet Runway Cafe is one of those hidden gems located in the Fort Lauderdale north airport. I think it is one of the better breakfast options in town. Service is usually quick and it has to be for people awaiting their jet. I like the "full tank" which offers a complete breakfast including both eggs and pancakes if you are feeling gluttonous. The vibe is relaxed and you can see the planes take off as the restaurant has great runway views. read more

What a great comfortable spot. It's at the end of the airport so it is a little tricky to find the first time but well worth it. The servers are pleasant and answer all your questions and even make suggestions. The pancakes are delicious and the portions are substantial. The salads are really good too! Great spot. Bonus is that you can watch take off and landing of the smaller planes. read more

Spoiler alert ... no pictures were taken! This spot is at the FLL executive airport off of Commercial Blvd. You can't make reservations however I didn't think there would be an almost 1/2 hr wait. A clean, bright space with shiny furniture and fittings, you can't look out the huge windows as the plane and helicopters take off and land. A little noisy, but generally in a good way as seems like plenty of groups with good conversations. Once we were seated, service was swift and attentive. Everything we had was delicious ... from the coffee to the meals! Such a fun spot for good food! Ps ... extra points for the plentiful parking! read more

Ive been to JET before and I loved it. For my takeaway order today, I ordered Avo toast and was disappointed. The Avo tasted like it came out of a plastic pouch. It wasn't fresh.

Love the setting. Staff is always friendly. Nothing like sipping a coffee while watching airplanes taxi and takeoff.

The concept of this restaurant being right on the tarmac is one of the many great reasons to stop in! Living 11 minutes away from here and being told about it for the past two decades, I don't know why I waited so long to try it out, but soooo happy I finally did. It was so easy to get there and find parking. I was always told there can be quite a wait especially on the weekend, but I guess me and my boyfriend got lucky when we popped in on a Saturday morning shortly after they opened. We waited only about 10 mins and got a great seat right along the large windows facing the tarmac. Love how everyone in the restaurant works together and keeps the flow going to get your food out as quickly as possible. Our food was beyond delicious, fresh and so comforting. My boyfriend got the "Full Tank" while I went with the "Brunch Totchos" and we could not stop saying how great everything was for the rest of that day. This is a really great spot to take people from out of town or just enjoy a morning date with your partner like we did. I can not wait to return! read more
