Just love to eat here, they make me feel Welcome always friendly face always say hi, they even know when I haven't been there in a while have not had a single complain on the food they even remember my habits so awesome Love them all read more

I've been gate keeping this local gem for years. Reserved for weekend breakfasts and introducing friends and family from out of town. It's my go to for a good meal and great scenery. This restaurant is located within the local airport. So you get amazing views of aircraft land and taking off from the runway. Great entertainment for everyone, especially kiddos. From the moment you arrive, the staff are friendly and attentive. If you become a regular, the servers remember what specials you gravitate to, which only adds to its charm. Food is always consistent and I have yet to be disappointed. Whether having breakfast or lunch, it's always great! When available, I splurge for the steak and eggs special. Steak is thick, char grilled and cooked to your desired temp. The country potatoes are always crisp on the outside and fluffy inside, seasoned well. Adding bell peppers and onions adds to the experience. Eggs always cooked perfectly and toast soft yet crisp with plenty of butter. Highly recommend. The breakfast bowl is my wife's go to. A little bit of everything. Crispy country potatoes, sweet grilled onions, bell peppers, bite size sausage, bacon and plenty of cheddar cheese. Then topped with eggs cooked to your liking. I wish I could keep this place to myself but I can't. If you're ever in Porterville, give this place a try. You won't regret it. read more

I went to this place again couple days ago as always everything is excellent as always. I absolutely recommend this place.

We visited from Bakersfield to celebrate a birthday with Porterville resident. Very attentive server. Food was delicious; one of the best burgers I have ever enjoyed. Saw dozens of firefighters parachute to the runway in training. Fun! 2 of us are pilots (retired) and love the airplane themed decor. Overall an enjoyable experience; we will be back for more. read more

They need to pay more attention to what the customer has ordered and confirm when the order is picked up that the order is complete they think just because you gave a refund it mean the customer is satisfied refund don't matter when you don't have nothing to drink with your food even worse especially when you're at work and you had to go get other people to take time out of the day to go get your food for the order could be incorrect ‍ read more

Chicken fried steak...excellent! Will definitely be back with friends! Friendly and attentive staff!

Super disappointed. Yelps hours say that they're open. I flew all the way up here to get fuel and a great breakfast. I got met at the door by a young man who tells me that the restaurant is closed for the day. Be aware stairway at minimum call first. Unreliable service. read more

Called 24 minutes before they close to place a pickup order & was told I was good to order. I began placing my order & was told they would no longer take any orders. They obviously do not have a time standards/policies or they do a poor job of communicating amongst each other their policies. read more

Airway Cafe is the best breakfast spot in town. Love to stop by on the weekends they are always busy and everything i have tried is delicious. read more

Walked in on a Sunday and there was a short line of about 3 groups. Nobody was keeping track of the line even though there were numerous tables open, cleaned and ready to go. They had 1 buss boy that was bussing tables and also taking care of the line. Only 2 waitresses and 1 cook. This place was severely understaffed for a Sunday at 10am. Prices are about the same as Black Bear Diner but portions are a lot smaller. Service at Black Bear is impeccable. Here, not so much. read more

Fantastic homey airport diner. Whether you're a pilot or just visiting the airport to have a meal and look at the planes and aviation memorabilia, the Airway Cafe is a no frills place with some tasty food! I had the Amelia Earhart burger which was cooked from non-frozen and served with some delicious fries. I also had a Greek salad on the side, which had a decent amount of vegetables and tomatoes. The salad was decent, but I'd probably skip it next time. All in all - if you're looking for a delicious burger -- that's the thing to the get at the Airway Cafe. Enjoy! read more

Airway Cafe - Two Breakfast 2 Eggs with Chicken Fried Steak - Cafes Near Me - Porterville, California

Recently, my friends and I tried this place. I got the super tanker, which is a selection of breakfast items. Absolutely obsessed with how they made their hash browns, and their french toast was really good!! It's a nice little spot, especially when you get to see planes landing or taking off. I definitely recommend trying the place! read more

Great American Breakfast place in Porterville! The staff were very kind and the service was phenomenal. I had a corn beef hash meal that came with hash brown and two eggs with toast. Coffee tasted great too. Would definitely go again when I have another breakfast craving (: plenty of seating and it's very clean. read more

Hadn't been here in a while. Was not disappointed the back burner burger I order was very good, juicy with a nice char on the meat. Wife's chicken fried steak was good, nice big plate. Service was very welcoming n always attentive to serve. read more

Note: address is incorrect! Do not turn on Newcomb - Follow directions to the airport instead. Yum! Whether it's breakfast or burgers, this place has you covered. We stopped on our way back from the Sequoias and we're surprised at the crowd, but even in this out-of-the-way location, people know a good thing. Staff were friendly and efficient. The food was diner/comfort food but fairly healthy (butter and syrup on the side, nothing too greasy). They have indoor and outdoor seating, a large parking lot, grass, picnic tables, and what looked like a covered outdoor BBQ/ bar area. The decor is kitschy, but clean and loaded with airport memorabilia. Great food and great experience! read more

I discovered this place doing a "$100 hamburger" run with a pilot buddy if mine. The flight in was nice, very facilities for those pilots reading this. California Air attack is based here too. Great food, good service, a very mom and pop feel here. This is one of the best places to grab breakfast in the valley. If you ate close, drop in, if you're a flyer fly in and grab a bite. Lunch is also just as good. read more

Fairly decent portions. Service has improved over my 3 visits. Casual setting and lots of menu options.

This place is fantastic! The breakfast is delicious, friendly service, and the food overall is excellent. Plus, it's located by the Porterville Airport, so you get the added bonus of watching airplanes landing and taking off. Highly recommend! read more

Such a cute place and so awesome to be able to see planes take off and land! We got The Tanker, the Cali burger, and the kid's PBJ. Our server was so kind and sweet to our 10mo old. The food was fantastic - cooked well and flavorful; definitely hit the spot after camping! Will be back! read more

Went in this Saturday morning with a group of 12. They had a table for 10 people and a small table for 2. So I asked if I could take the large and small tables. They told me they could not accommodate my party because they said it would make it difficult for ticketing. I don't understand why. But will never go back there again. It was not the host it was the manager and I asked to talk to her and she did not want to come and talk to me. Very unprofessional. read more

All the breakfast is very good except don't bother to get the biscuits and gravy they give you plenty but it is tasteless

Super rude, will not be returning. I end up finding out that it was the owner "Debbie" who was the rude one. What a disgrace for a business. Also if you have children, don't go here. Kids seem to bother them! read more

I eat here weekly. Great customer service and alway fresh food! They even accommodate my substitutions! There breakfast special Filet Mignon is amazing!! And of course the Super Tanker with fries! read more

This is a cute Cafe in a nice setting also historic. The service was very good and the food was very good. I ordered the two eggs and sausage meal everything was cooked perfectly I would definitely go back read more

I left a review about an experience I had a month ago. The owner replied to my complaint and said she was "baffled" that we walked out on our bill. I just want to put it out there that we only ordered coffee, orange juice and a Bloody Mary which we never took one sip of because we were tired of DEBBIE being rude. This lady needs a rude awakening and needs lessons on customer service. She is way too comfortable being rude. I will make sure I tell everyone about my experience. I also find it quite baffling that there are numerous complaints before me about DEBBIE BEING RUDE. take a hint Debbie, and work on yourself. Happy holidays read more

Over priced Denny's food. I'd rather go to Denny's then here and pay twice as much for just so so food.

The waitress was really sweet and attentive. It wasn't the owner. The one star is for her. What we ordered was well below par. Don't put avocado toast on your menu if you can't make it better than that. Toast, avocado, and scrambled eggs on top Maybe the cook needs to go to Coffee 2.0 and learn how it's done. I ordered country hash browns but they forgot the onion and bell pepper. The sweet waitress brought out the onion and bell pepper on a separate plate. What?! So I am supposed to do the cook's job and mix that into the crusty hash browns that were already mostly inedible. read more

NOT CHILD FRIENDLY! This place has too much negativity and extremely rude staff. The food was poor quality as well. I really hope my review DOES NOT get deleted like the one on Google. This business tends to report the bad reviews to get them deleted and they only keep the good reviews. That is not the way to keep a business going with a bunch of lies. read more

Not child friendly, not family friendly. The owner in specific is rude to their customers including babies. Go spend your money on better service! read more

I was in porterville for jury duty and rather than eating at a chain restaurant I looked for a home town restaurant and found this place. Can't say enough about the friendliness and service. The food was served quick and tasted great. Nice portions too! I can't wait to eat there again whenever I'm in that neck of the woods. read more

Drove all the way out here and there was nothing but a bunch of deserted buildings. Would have been nice

This place is now open. Locals place for sure. Located at the Porterville airport. I ordered the Sausage & Eggs with toast. It was absolutely wonderfully delicious! Great home cooked food. You won't be disappointed. The decor reflects the airport and the history of the local area. And they have an old school bar! That so awesome. Too bad I was here for breakfast. Lol. But, they do have a new thing on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights called "Burgers & Booze". I will need to check this out the next time I come in. read more

My family still resides in Porterville and when I am in town I try to give back to the local businesses. It's my way of paying it forward for moving out of the small town. Found this little cafe and i couldn't have been happier. It is at the local airport. Very small but quaint. I was worried about the quality of the food and I must say it was impressive. I had the grilled chicken sandwich meal and was pleased with my food. Side note: If the owners ever decide to sell this little gem and you're reading this. Please contact me directly. read more
