Disappointing Service and Mediocre Food Experience I recently had the unfortunate experience of dining at this cafe that left a lot to be desired. From the moment I walked in, it was clear that customer service was not a priority for this establishment. The staff seemed disinterested and inattentive, displaying a lack of professionalism that was hard to ignore. The food was lackluster and the bagels tasted day old. I wasn't expecting much from this place but it was a flop. read more

I'm angry at myself for not checking out this place sooner. I just had an everything bagel (so good and they include salt on the everything toppings which is my favorite), with horseradish and bacon cream cheese. Coffee was good (bourbon pecan flavored) and hot. It's tucked away in a little strip of stores I've never been to before and the parking lot is weird, but I will definitely be back. read more

They love to shut down early if they're not busy, so you show up when it's supposed to be open but it isn't. The ambiance is a personal thing; if you love having a (limited) view of runways 23/5 and the taxi area, you're good (except in poor weather, when you'll likely see nothing), but the basic interior of the restaurant is of limited appeal unless you love old aviation-themed stuff on the walls. So why do I give it three stars? Because there are some great food bargains on the menu (and because on good days you do get great aviation views outside). Go for the double decker club, the standard hamburger/cheeseburger with fries, and try any of their soups and the chili. They're all great. And their pork chop dinner entree is a fantastic deal. People also rave about their breakfast; I'm more a fan of the later menu.
