First Time going and if it wasn't for me being with a group of people, I would've cut up. We had a party of about 12. The waitress we had could barely handle us. The environment was okay, definitely a flashback in time. We were in a back but it got loud very quickly another party came in. It took forever for us to get our alcohol and it took NO time to get my food which made me question the menu and the . I ordered Steak & Frites and I received it within 5 minutes. ALL of our food was out rather quickly. I would love to believe that this was a one off but the food CANNOT be cooked to order. My steak AND fries were COLD. The plate was cold and if it had been at least sitting under a warmer 1 and/or both would've been WARM. Even with letting a steak rest it would not be COLD. I sent it back to which they warmed it but I was turned off by it at that point. The event for the night was the disco so definitely enjoyed going to the dance floor and at least enjoying that part. My friend enjoyed her night so I guess that's all that matters. read more

We ordered a fried shrimp appetizer, catfish with hush puppies and an iced tea. Food was good and service was friendly and attentive. It was a lovely day to sit by the window and watch the airplanes land and take off. Everything was clean. Positive experience. It had been a couple years since I ate here, and it was as good as I remembered. Will be back. read more

This is a really cool place keeping the memory of US Army Air Corps alive for over 40 years. Located next to the Dekalb-Peachtree Airport, the French farmhouse inspired restaurant and event space is a one-of-a-kind place. Enter through a narrow sandbag-lined hallway into 1940's France with memorabilia and pictures of WWII fighter planes and bombers. Sitting next to one of the windows, it's easy to imagine that the private planes landing and taking off from the adjacent runway are P-51 Mustangs. There are several sizable rooms for events and groups as well as several bar areas. They also serve a damn good lunch! We had delicious salads and sandwiches for lunch. I highly recommend the 57th Fighter Group sandwich, though you won't go wrong with anything you order. Prices are pretty good with sandwiches with a side in the $18 range. You don't have to be a military buff to enjoy The 57th Fighter Group, but if you know a military buff, you'll score major points bringing them here. read more

57th Fighter Group Restaurant has a really cool ambiance--right on the runway, so you can watch private planes take off while you eat. The inside is cozy and homey, with fireplaces lit and lots of warm wooden decor. The staff is super nice, patient, and helpful if you have any questions. The crowd definitely skews older, but it's still a fun spot, especially on Wednesdays and weekends when there's live music and dancing in half the restaurant. The food itself is pretty average. I had the vegetable pasta, which was very herby and flavorful. Overall, it's worth checking out for the atmosphere alone. read more

We have been loyal customers of 57th Fighter Group Restaurant for a long time, but after today, we won't be back. While sitting on the patio with our children--a space usually known for being family-friendly--we were approached by the Manager, who was incredibly out of line. He essentially told us our kids needed to 'stop being kids,' telling us to control them and not let them run or yell on the patio. We noticed there were other children present doing the exact same thing, yet he didn't say a word to them. It felt completely discriminatory and like a targeted attack on our family. read more

We have not been here in years and forgot how much we enjoyed dining here. On Friday night, Mark was craving a prime rib dinner. The Colonnade prime rib was mediocre and expensive on our last visit so we decided to try 57th. We arrived around 745pm and were able to get a table at the window overlooking the runway. Marist School was hosting their 20th reunion so we were able to enjoy hearing their party music and watching them have fun. Morgan was our server and she was friendly and efficient. Mark and I enjoyed the artichoke crab dip for our appetizer with martinis and Pinot Grigio wine. Mark had the prime rib dinner with the mashed red potatoes with skins on. He loved the prime rib and we both loved the potatoes- they were outstanding. I ordered the dinner special which was a house made salmon burger topped with spicy kimchi and a soy ponzu sauce served on a toasted brioche bun. It came with a side of fries. The sandwich was mid blowing delicious and the fries were hot and crispy. I told Morgan that they need to consider making the salmon burger a standard menu item. I'm pescatarian and love it when restaurants serve creative items like this. Mark and I loved our food, service and ambiance and we are looking forward to coming back for the brunch!! read more

Menu was a bit small but atmosphere was good, staff was really friendly. Food was good.

We ate there for Mother's Day. The service was poor and the buffet was poorly maintained and sparse. We were extremely disappointed and will not be returning. read more

Service was average. Food was terrible food temperature was cold. Food presentation looked bad and the cheesecake was terrible. It was like a frozen defrosted store-bought one. I was embarrassed because I'd recommended this place to colleagues. Only thing good about it was that it was at the airport and they could see something like that. read more

Usually, I am willing to forgive poor service if the food quality makes up for the lack of attentiveness. But, there are times when lackadaisical service can adversely affect the overall enjoyableness of the food. This was one of those times. The service started off well, but soon fizzled out as the evening progressed. Many of the service issues could have been avoided by simply adhering to the critical fundamentals of restaurant service standards. Servers should be instructed on how to work smarter, not harder. Here are a few specific examples: When a server brings the appetizer to the table, bring appetizer plates for all guests and some extra napkins. This will prevent the patron from having to ask and save the server a trip. When the entrées are served, it is a good idea to bring the necessary condiments to the table at that time. This will prevent the patron from having to ask and save the server a trip. When a server brings to-go boxes to the table, bring a bag to put the boxes in at the same time. This will prevent the patron from having to ask and save the server a trip. The simple request for ketchup took our server so long to fulfill that the food was too cold to enjoyably eat by the time the ketchup bottle arrived at the table. The food has always been decent quality here, even though, like most all restaurants today, it's a pricey proposition. Service is usually lacking, however. We probably would avoid dining here on another Saturday evening. The 57th Fighter Group Restaurant provides a unique setting and ownership capitalizes on that fact. But, a novel atmosphere is just one element of the overall restaurant experience. To drive profits, customers must be satisfied with food and service. read more

Love this place. I love to dance & be surrounded by others: who also love to dance. This place got me through the Covid-19 Pandemic: The 57th Fighter Group was the only place you could go during the Pandemic & feel like a normal regular human being instead like a victim of leprosy. Thank God. The food is amazing. read more

Watching the planes was enough to return. Service was great a and many good menus choices

Cool WWII atmosphere with close up views of Peachtree DeKalb airport . Great food,, drinks and service!

This place is an oldie but goodie! I ate here over 20 years ago for my birthday & several brunches when they had bottomless Mimosas. I love the nostalgia from WWII because my grandfather served. Being situated at the Peachtree-Dekalb Airport adds to the atmosphere watching planes take off & fly in. This visit was to celebrate my Mom's birthday with the family. We had a party of 7 - I booked online but that is only up to 6 people. I left a VM that we've added a child to make 7. Shortly after the OpenTable notification reflected 7 so that was seamless. We were seated to watch the planes in a dining room off of the main entry and near the fireplace. It was a little cool as it started raining but warmed up and views of the planes were sporadic. Still the 6 year old in our party loved it! Santa arrived early and the buffet was stacked. Omelette station, prime rib, pancakes, waffles, soups, salad, shrimp cocktail, vegetables, pasta, grits, sausage, eggs, eggs Benedict, scalloped potatoes, salmon cakes, catfish bites, broccoli rice casserole, desserts and more. So much I didn't even try it all. Everything was tasty but I wish it was hotter. My standout was an omelette with veggies and smoked salmon. Overall, a great time. Service was excellent and we got a family photo with Santa. We'll be back on a sunny day soon! read more

First time eating here and it was really a great experience. We arrived at 5:30, shown to a table, and our waitress came over shortly afterwards. The food was very good:there were three of us and had, the cod sandwich with fries, a steak burger with mashed red potatoes, and a beet salad with grilled chicken. All three of us thought the food was good and had no issues with the food or the service. I know looking at some of the previous reviews people mentioned these as issues, but our experience was a good one. We also enjoyed watching all the private jets taking off and landing and the very cool WWII vibe of the restaurant. Would definitely recommend eating here and we'll be stopping in again! read more

Fantastic ambiance with all authentic building and music throughout. Worth a visit! Good food also and not expensive

This place was perfect for our Christmas Adventure! Myself and three children ages 9,10, and 11 enjoyed a wonderful lunch two days before Christmas. One kid complained her hamburger tasted too much like steak, which is clearly not a problem. Our waiter was so patient and allowed the kids to get distracted with the planes but also tell him what they wanted. He was a true gem. We were able to snag a window seat and watched SOOOO many planes come and go. I would highly recommend this spot for lunch with families or anyone who enjoys watching planes and eating good food! read more

The food here is always been excellent and I was really looking forward to some of their beer, cheese soup, but it doesn't matter how good the food is if you can't get anybody to bring you any! They were a little bit more busy than usual but hardly crowded. And yet I sat for over 15 minutes waiting for somebody to just acknowledge my table. Waiters and waitresses and hostess is walking by and nobody could even bring me a glass of water. Won't return. read more

Manager took care of it so restitution was made. However, warning there's a guy named Dave bartender who's not only rude but thinks women are stupid enough to buy a $15 drink while he waters it down. I've heard other people say the same. He's nothing like Billy or the other bartenders there and he gives the place a bad name. Again, manager handled it very well, and the place is a lot fun to dance with amazing food. Bring a date here you won't regret it. read more

I was a bit skeptical, but once we arrived all worries disappeared! The food was delicious! It was nice sitting and watching the planes come in. We will make this our brunch spot on each ATL visit! read more

The 57th Fighter Group Restaurant - New American Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Original review: My family first came the 57th bomber over 10 years ago. We loved it so much, we used it as a venue for my nephew's rehearsal dinner. Excellent service, excellent food, unique atmosphere. We came back after a long absence, and it just wasn't the same. Management must have changed since our last visit, because things just weren't running as smoothly as they used to. The hostess did not make us feel welcome, and the food is not as good as it used to be. Our waitress, Sarah, was friendly and attentive, but the food was slow to come out of the kitchen. It's nice to sit outside and watch the airplanes while we eat, but I'm not sure we'd return and spend our money here again. Update: Hello Jake- Thank you for your response, but I don't think a phone call is necessary. I tried to reply to your message to me, but I was unable to. It was a busy night went I came to the restaurant. It sounds to me that perhaps on weekends too many people are being seated, and it overwhelms the kitchen. Generally, I would rather be made to wait for a table, and then be served in a reasonable amount time, versus being seated and made to wait. If I was told there would be a 40 minute wait at the hostess stand, I could have made the decision to eat elsewhere. Or I could have waited, but my expectations set knowing that I would have to wait. Thank you for your time, and I hope you have a nice day. read more

What a unique establishment! It totally deserves 5 stars. We sat outside watching the cool Cessnas and private jets take off. I saw lots of families enjoying the outside seating with space for little ones to roam. Love the World War II images and theme inside reminding us of our freedom and may we never forget how our men fought for this country. Full bar available and we tried the fish sandwich w brussel sprouts and the 57th sandwich w Mac n chez for lunch. Came out nice and hot! Ended up joining more friends inside at the bar area and thoroughly enjoyed the DJ jams on a Sat eve. The dance floor got pretty full as the night went on. So fun! read more

Flew to PDK for the sole purpose of taking a friend to the 57th fighter wing for dinner. The service was by far the worst I've ever experienced at this venue. If the wait staff has a welfare mindset, allow the individual to collect it at home, and not on the payroll at the restaurant. Every engagement that my table, and the tables around me, shared with the waiter, was a result of waving down another staff member. This $100 hamburger was actually $378 with fuel.... I'd encourage my aviation friends to find another venue. There is certainly a leadership issue if this is allowed to continue. The food tasted great... the service was disgraceful. read more

An extremely cool restaurant right on the airstrip. 57 fighter is a great and quiet place to grab a bite especially just coming off a flight. Usually get a burger but have other dinner dishes too and are all very good. Waiters are nice and attentive.

This place is so neat! Decorated nicely for Christmas with cozy nooks, fireplaces and amazing view of the runway. Food was good too. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is because the pretzel that is an up charge with the beer cheese soup was obviously a frozen product that was hard and tasted a bit stale. read more

No service at all. Way past its prime. Came on a Sunday, sat on the patio. Totally ignored by wait staff. Hard to fathom a decline of this magnitude. read more

57th Fighter has been here for what seems like forever. Nestled next to Peachtree Dekalb Airport, you need to know where you're going, especially at night to find the turn. Proceed down the dimly lit drive and there it is, lurking in the woods. When you enter, it's like you have entered a bunker from a war movie. The thematic elements are certainly intriguing! I understand many folks sit out back, where you can watch planes takeoff and land. Fascinating! We attended the trivia night which was fun even though we fared poorly. The food is fine. I had the beer cheese soup and the spinach salad. The soup was good and hearty. The salad was nice and fresh. A fun experience. read more

Came here on a beautiful spring Saturday to sit outside and watch airplanes. Was busy and first come first serve but the wonderful staff helped me eyeball a table leaving to get my family seated. Food and service was a bit slow--but it was very busy and when they did get to the table they were very attentive and helpful. Food was good enough. Outdoor space is awesome -especially if you have kids and they can run around and you can enjoy your meal without entertaining them. Hot tip - go to bar to order drinks instead of wait for your waiter. Would def come back the experience overall is worth the wait just make sure you aren't here in a rush to leave. read more

Love going to WW2 themed 57th fighter group. Their food is always delicious and the vibe is right. They have a massive indoor dinner area, a bar area, and an awesome patio. The patio is my favorite place to sit to take in the fresh air and watch the planes along the runway. The restaurant is right next to PDK so you get some pretty cool views. If you don't want to sit on the patio the indoor dining area has large windows to see through. Their menu is pretty simple but all the food is very tasty. The best part is their sides are a hefty portion. My favorite Sammy is the pot roast Sammy. If you haven't been you should totally go check it out. Even if you're just looking for somewhere relaxing to get a drink and hang out with friends. read more
