We stopped by The Hungry Pilot on a Tuesday during trivia night, and while the energy inside was lively, it was a little too loud for us since we weren't there to play. We decided to dine outside instead, which turned out to be the perfect choice. Watching the planes take off and land made for a unique and relaxing dining experience. The presentation of every dish was beautiful, and everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. The prime roast dip was incredibly flavorful and one of my favorite items. I upgraded my fries and enjoyed them with cheese sauce and barbecue sauce on the side, which was the perfect combination. The beef was exceptionally fresh, and the salmon was some of the freshest I've had in a long time. The portions were generous, the food was prepared with care, and the service was outstanding from start to finish. If you're looking for great food, excellent service, and a one of a kind atmosphere, The Hungry Pilot is definitely worth a visit. read more

French onion soup was delicious. Watch the planes take off and land while enjoying your meal. Chicken wrap was perfectly prepared. Enjoyed every bite read more

Food is really good and bar is well stocked. Like the local vibe, live music, outdoor seating and convenient location!

A little hidden gem. I won't say it will knock your socks off. But, you will definitely add it to your go to lunch list.

First time having dinner on a Saturday night. Great acoustic music. Tonight we had French onion soup, garden salad, honey glazed salmon, cheesesteak, burger, pizza, and mozzarella sticks (which were as big as logs!) everything was great and our waitress Amy was super. A very pleasant meal overall. read more

The Hungry Pilot - French onion crock - Bars Near Me - Coatesville, Pennsylvania

Watching planes take off and land while having lunch was the main selling point of this restaurant for me. I just had to check it out! A friend and I arrived around 2:30 PM. It was pretty busy when we walked in but tapered off after about 35 mins. We started off strong with the Runway Fries. My friend requested the short rib on the side since I don't eat meat. The fries were crispy and the fresh jalapeños set them off with a nice flavor. Sweet potato tater tots? Yes, please! I decided to try them out with my entree and they didn't let me down. Much better than sweet potato fries in my opinion. My veggie burger was excellent - a little sloppy, but so flavorful and filling. Last but not least, our waitress told us about a limited/seasonal dessert option, the Campfire Cheesecake. We knew we needed this and it absolutely blew us both away. It tasted exactly like s'mores! The waitress provided handmade keychains for each of us when she brought the bill over. This place had the BEST service. Even waitresses who weren't waiting on us were coming over to chat and say hello! Everyone was so pleasant. I'd love to come back and enjoy a beer by the outdoor fire pits at night on a chilly Fall evening! read more

Mid service, mid food, mid ambience. This place is you guessed it...mid! It's not very good but it's not bad I just would never go out of my way to come here. There's better pilot airport restaurants in the area. read more

Flew into the airport and walked to the restaurant. My friend and I were quick MY seated and had a table next to a window. Great to see planes landing and taking off. We were there on a day that the restaurant offered $10.00 sandwiches. I had the Cuban my friend the Reuben. Bothe were great. Since I flew in I had no alcohol, but they offer a full bar with happy hour. Even though it was almost full, it was not too noisy. read more

Small Saturday lunch crowd of maybe 12 customers. We Seriously, needed coats, scarf, hat & gloves because it was Extremely cold in the resturant. Both of us ordered off the menu then waited more than 45 minutes to be served at our table. Both of us order smash burgers & fries. HORRIBLE! Burgers were small & fries were nasty & seemed to be reheated. Never again!! Paid $46.00 dollars for a very bad lunch & terrible serves. read more

Stopped in for lunch with our son and asked to sit outside since it was a beautiful day and we came to watch the planes. Our waitress was great. We had excellent service and the food came out in a timely manner. The food itself was average but nothing bad. Will definitely be back to watch the planes again. read more

Private pilot who flies out of Chester County. Chester County Aviation. Incredibly warm friendly service. Waitresses they are the best. Customers there are a nice bunch as well. Food is a bit of a mix bag to be honest. Inconsistent. Sometimes the food is great sometimes not so much . read more

Outstanding place to sit outside and watch the jets and airplanes come and go. Outdoor seating allows you to bring your dog. The waitress brought a bowl of water with out being asked. This establishment is dog and kid friendly. For starters I had the French onion soup which was nice and salty! The main lunch item was the fig smash burger. Overall this place is worth a visit. read more

Actually walked out of this place. The service made me feel so unwanted nothing more to put that's it very horrible experience. It was the blonde haired waitress so whoever that is actually there was a couple blondes there so I'm not really sure I didn't get the name but watch out for this place. I heard the food was good, but the service is very very poor. read more

One of my favorites. The food is prepared very well. The menu isn't fancy but has great American style diner food. The restaurant has been updated and I would highly recommend lunch or dinner here. It's fun on a nice day to sit outside and watch the planes. read more

Stop at The Hungry Pilot for a late dinner. Just move to area and I heard of this from neighbors. Just happened to be trivia night which was really fun. The food was great specially the chili ! Can not wait to go back and try other meals. Got to see to small jets fly in which was cool seeing. The people were really friendly!! Awesome job !! Will be back for sure and give them a shot for your next meal out!! A++++ to all read more

This place is great, but it's like an icebox, the food is wonderful , we're here for Monday night bingo

We had the best lunch today at The Hungry Pilot. I brought my 3 year old son for lunch to meet a good friend. Service was awesome! Our waitress was great and so good with my son! The food was all very well done. Beer selection was great and included good local options. Place was busy but there was not wait for anything. It's such a cool spot to be able to sit and eat while watching planes take off and land. We look forward to our next visits. read more

I've been here 3 times in the past few weeks and it is top notch every time. The servings are tasty and generous and prices very reasonable. My current fav is the cream of mushroom soup and the corn fritters. As well as the Cuban sandwich. Cannot ignore the excellent service--the first time here, I left my purse on the back of my seat as I walked out. The waitress literally came running out of the building after me to return it. They also opened the place a few minutes early for us one day at lunch. You have an incredible view of the planes landing on the runway of the wind is coming from the west--you can rate those landings! read more

Been there twice and got take-out once and the food was always good. In house the service was excellent.

We are visiting from Texas and I found this restaurant on Yelp - we decided to give it a try based on the reviews - and we're glad we stopped. The location is unexpected and the restaurant nice - feels cozy and comfortable. A great place to relax, eat, and not feel rushed. The service was great and my food was enjoyable. read more

The gluten free flat bread is soooo good! Bingo is fun on Mondays! Will go back for sure!

Really good pub grub. And great service. Very busy when we were there. Will come back.

Always the best food and service. Great variety that you don't get elsewhere. Owner also community involved as he donated $10 gift cards for all the Valley Twp. Police in a gift basket project from the ladies Red Hat in Hillview. We keep going back! Watching planes an extra added attraction! read more

The food was great, Jess, our bartender, was amazing. She loved creating drinks on the spot. There was live music on Saturday. Very cool place, it's right on a runway so we watched the sunset & there were planes coming & going! (The pierogis were amazing & the mozzarella sticks were as thick as cannolis) read more

Great little spot where the regulars know and like each other and don't mind if you drop in. We came for a cheeseburger and came back for the loaded fries. Fun cocktails. Cheerful waitstaff. read more

Love this place! It's become our local hangout. The service is good and friendly. We enjoy being able to watch the planes land and take off while we catch up over great food and some drinks. They also sometimes have live music which has been really good! They also seem to be starting an outdoor area with cornhole and fire pits, which is gonna be really great for summer!!! So glad this place is around! Where do I start?! The Gouda bites omg! The prime dip grilled cheese! A really good stable menu! read more

Have been coming here since they opened and have never been disappointed! The food is excellent and they go above and beyond to make sure you have a good experience!!! The owners always make us feel welcomed and the waitresses are just the best ! ( can't forget the chef who will come to make sure your happy) .. Nicole and Kelsey are the sweetest ! Thank you guys for all you do !! Peg Gilroy read more

I want to like it. We've tried twice, but the food just isn't anything memorable. The meat on the nachos is just huge chunks of ground beef, there's next to no flavor. The fries with the burger were in the fryer too long and were hard as rocks. And I'm not sure if the kitchen is really small, but it takes too long for the food to come out. I feel bad because I want them to succeed. Service was good. read more

I wish it was better as I want to support local businesses. My wife's chicken teriyaki bowl was cold and my short rib on my burger was cold. The service could also be better. read more

Enjoyed lunch and good craft beer (cans). Good draft list too. Service was nice. Cozy place, smaller bar but so friendly would def go there again. Good for families, or just sit at the bar and eat...something for everyone. read more

We are visiting from NJ and found The Hungry Pilot through Yelp. While it's very unassuming from the outside, the inside ambience was very cool. It was neat to see the planes land and take off and my kids loved it. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals and there was a lot menu items that everyone liked to choose from. My dad got the pirogies and they were some of the best we've ever had. The wait staff was attentive and very friendly. I would definitely dine here again when we are next in the area :) read more

Have been coming here since they opened, day one. Food has gotten better and better since opening and is very good. Service has ALWAYS been top notch. Never a single issue. Great atmosphere too! read more

Great food, service and atmosphere. Quesadillas were super good! Everything looked good so I'll be back to try other dishes. Fun watching planes landing and taking off. Staff and owner were awesome. read more

Had Rhonda as our waitress, she responded as if she was annoyed when we asked for things. Honestly food was good and decent in pricing which is what keeps the rating at 4/5 - just makes us question if we want to come back with the possibility of poor service read more

Food was incredible!!! Runway fries are a must! We flew in for lunch and was not disappointed!
