Good food and service in the past.. however my husband needs the elevator and out of service! Therefore we could not patronize this restaurant. I hope they will fix it soon as not being ADA compliant isn't a good thing. Will call before making the trip .. and hope it works when we get there, if it's fixed. read more

Excellent pancakes. Lots of food. Service is excellent, friendly and quick. When the weather is nice it's fun to watch planes fly in and out. read more

Went for breakfast, it was awefull. How can you F up scrambled eggs? Biscuits and gravy were nasty too. Place is dirty, you can see the dust all over the planes hanging from the ceiling and it has an odd odor too. The help was not friendly at all, she dropped the bill and food off at the same time and never returned. read more

One of the best places for breakfast! Small and simple menu (not a ton of options), but it's got the essentials and is a great value! Food is great - especially love that the bacon is actual thick cut bacon! Not that cheap, thin/almost transparent "bacon" they use in buffets and stuff. They also have senior and kids meals, which I honestly wish I could get! Portions are large and I'm always stuffed and likely have leftovers. It's interesting to watch planes come and go (if you're lucky) - basically it's got nice views. Ambiance is very old fashioned, but feels clean. Servers/wait staff are always very busy, so they don't always make it around to check on you as often as you might like but I don't think I've ever had a problem with the service overall. read more

Man. Go to the ARCO across the street and get some snacks because you're gonna need something to munch on while you wait for your food. This pains me to review, as this place holds so much nostalgia in my heart. But as a grown women, with a toddler, I can't go back here. This place is need of a revamp and a deep clean. I expect Saturday mornings to be busy for most establishments, but we were sitting for a solid 30 minutes before anyone even came to take our order. It then took another hour plus to get our very, mediocre breakfast. With some work, this place could be amazing. The environment is nice, but as a hard working, middle class citizen, I need a hot plate in a reasonable amount of time. With some flavor. read more

mom & pop shop for sure they have big windows where you can see planes fly off n stuff. their hot chocorate is yummy & so is basically all of their breakfast stuff. a great staple for just good breakfast food yk everytime im just craving a classic breakfast i go here ^^ read more

Food and service is mediocre but extra star for the ambience. Love being around planes and aviation in general. You pay for the experience here. Great for all ages.

Aviator's - This is so good - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Sacramento, California

They have some of the best breakfast stuff. I highly recommend this if you are at the airport. Or just stopping for breakfast and need a place to go. This spot is amazing very friendly staff as well. I always go with the breakfast fried rice. It literally speaks for itself. It's fried rice with sausage, bacon, ham. And your choice of eggs on the top of it. read more

Aviator's - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Sacramento, California

Depending on what you are ordering, this place can be rated higher. But in my opinion, this place is a 2 or 3 star restaurant with 3 star being normal. I think that the breakfasts here are generous in size and taste decent. However, I decided to venture out and ordered chicken stir fry, which is basically stir fried chicken, zuchini and mushrooms over rice. The food was served hot which was great, however, things started becoming saltier as I was working my way through the meal, and some rice appeared to be dry as if it was overcooked/not fully cooked. It was too sweet and salty. The first thing that came to mind after my first bite was Panda Express...Anyways, I shouldnt have ordered Americanized chinese food. read more

Aviator's - Chicken Stir Fry - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Sacramento, California

My food was trash.. my apple juice was warm and my son orange juice was warm. My hash browns were brunt and my toast was cold. The rest of my food was burnt. I would never recommend this spot. read more

My friend and I ate here again this a.m. The food is "down-home American" and the service is both friendly and prompt. Although we had our breakfast orders served in less than five minutes, the waffle took two minutes longer. The portions were generous. I had to ask for a box to take home the food I couldn't finish. The servers genuinely enjoy their customers and helping people. Prices are very, very reasonable. We'll tell our neighbors about Aviator's Restaurant. read more

Excellent in every way. Setting, price, service. Love the breakfast items, but the other orders, like the burgers, are great too

Neighborhood gem. Cheap, reliable, good food served by old school waitresses who know what they're doing. This place has so much character and hasn't changed its decor even a tiny bit since the seventies when it was a fern bar/disco. You will feel welcome here no matter who you are. read more

They never take orders or walk ins anymore. Like we aren't the same paying customers. I spentd more than three dine ins. Laziness and preferential treatment. They were good. Now they are rude ha gnup kn you, refude yo put you in line like everyone. I don't recommend this place. Good food. Bad people. r read more

Aviator's - Best breakfast in South Sacramento. Aviator's next to the Executive Airport! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Sacramento, California

Went there for breakfast on Sunday morning. There was a line at 9:30, but I was at the front by the time the rest of my party arrived at 9:55. They had empty tables, but not enough servers, which is a problem for restaurants everywhere. The food was very good in spite of the long wait. Prices are also very reasonable. I recommend Aviators if you aren't in a hurry. read more

Decent food, excellent wait staff, not expensive, overlooks executive airport with views of planes parked, taking off and landing.

The steak sandwich use to be without griissle or fat and this one had enough of it to ruin the sandwich. Come on chef u can do better!

Aviator's is a trip - no plane required. It's a blast from the past, with some kitschy decor that will transport you back to the 80's. But that is totally the appeal. Folks line up not only for solid all-American comfort food, but for that throwback atmosphere and the occasional view of a private plane touching down on the runway below. My large group came down with my son in mind. He loves planes and we got a funky enclosed booth where we could still sit and watch them come in. Ly, our server, was totally on point with one minor flub getting my friend some french toast. Otherwise she took our chaotic orders in stride and had the food out quickly. My chicken fried steak and eggs was about what I'd expect for diner quality. The meat was well cooked and the eggs were perfect; the hash browns could have used more time on the grill. The one stress for us was the check-in system. There seemed a high level or irritation amongst the servers checking us in, who just seemed annoyed that it was a busy morning. They process the bills at the checkout stand as well which slowed down the process. Couple that with quite a few regulars who felt it okay to wander past the line and inquire about wait times or whether their regular booth was ready and the whole system was more complicated than it needed to be. That criticism aside, we were happy to come and enjoy! read more

Been here for breakfast and lunch but never for dinner. Well, now i have. We enjoyed our dinner entrees that consisted of 1) prime rib: tender, juicy, perfectly cooked rare, and even had the end cut...would definitely order their prime rib again-period, 2) rib eye steak: again ordered rare and delicious, 3) steak sandwich: perfectly cooked and devoured by my dining companion, and 4) salmon: grilled nicely. we love to support our local mom and pop restaurants especially if the food is good. this is one of those establishments. read more

Many friends was talking about this restaurant in the Sacramento Executive Airport before. This is my first time here. We're here on Sunday morning at 11am. They're very busy! Many people are waiting in front of the restaurant and inside the reception area! But no body in the reception counter take the customers names or just have a piece of paper on the counter for customers write their name on a waiting list. I don't know they are always like that, or they don't normally have so many customers here! The waitresses are very attentive and helpful. They're very busy, but still very nice. They're working very hard to make sure all the customers are taking care. The foods are little below average! It doesn't look as good as the other restaurants, and the taste of foods are also not very good! The views of the restaurant are wonderful. I enjoyed to watching the small airplanes take off and landing. They have outdoor seating even more close to the runway. But not many people are setting outside because it was so windy on the day! Parking lot is very big. No problem with parking at all. read more

Food visually looked very appetizing but it was bland. The area and location is nice great place. Just wish they added some seasonings to the food and tasted as good as it looked. The art inside is nice its different. read more

The service was minimal and the food was basic diner food. I am sure the appeal is watching the small airplanes take off and land right outside the restaurant. I would probably not go back because the location isn't very convenient, but I can see how it could become a regular for those nearby or using the airport. It is cool they are located inside an old airport terminal, but the sparkle wears off quick. I would not recommend the Caesar salad, probably would avoid any salad. The dressing was not cold, nor was it tasty. read more

Over an hour wait after ordering, coffee tasted like week old bad gas station brew. The food when it finally came was tasty and real, not instant. The portions were good. Would come back in a weekday because of the food. read more

Our Party of Five were the first to arrive and grab that huge booth with the landing strip view for Saturday Breakfast. A Theme Park from the past, you must visit and stay for the food. After catching up conversations, I looked up and the view tables were taken up fast. When you add up the endless glass window views and mid century vinyl booths with comfy seating at the front waiting lobby for your friends it makes for a great Executive Airport experience. read more

I never knew this part of Sacramento existed. As I now live down the street and searching for breakfast, I thought I'd give this place a try. I am glad I did. A very traditional breakfast menu, with a lot of locals eating. It had the aura of being a hole in the wall not many people are aware of, yet it was full of happy diners. It was cool to see an occasional small plane to take off. As for the food, quite good. I splurged, because I realize I didn't eat much last night. The waffle was sweet, not burnt, but stayed relatively crispy throughout. The eggs were cooked well, and my hamburger steak was well done, but not burnt. Minor complaint: The chairs look cool, but as I am skinny with no butt fat, I am now sore. Oh well. :) read more

Flew my dad to breakfast this morning and it was great. Awesome aviation ambiance and great views of the runway. Food was excellent and priced very reasonably. I had the chicken fried steak and eggs with hash browns and sourdough toast. My dad had the French toast. Everything was prepared with care and delicious! Service was friendly and fast. I'm definitely coming back. read more

Today we had a gathering of 12 friends. The restaurant was very busy. Everyone was very happy and served promptly. The staff rocked it! The food is consistently delicious. My steak was perfect and delicious! The ambiance is fun. It's always clean and tidy. The salad bar is super cold and the produce is fresh. We always enjoy whenever we dine here. read more

Great food and great ambiance. The best part was my toddler loved watching the planes take off and land and kept him happy during breakfast.

I love brunch. I am always on the hunt for a new place to leisurely drink my coffee and eat a plate of eggs. Aviators is located at the Sacramento Executive Airport, which seemed odd at first, but once we went inside and saw the dark paneled restaurant, I was sold. This place must have been decorated in the late 70's early 80's, but that is part of the charm. There are many seats in the place where you can watch the planes take off and land. They restaurant is larger than you would think- you walk up a half flight of stairs to a large area, and there are several rooms in which to sit, but I love the area with 3 sides of extra-large windows to peer out of. The staff was accommodating and water and coffee served very quickly. The menu had a nice selection of breakfast/brunch items ranging from the basics of eggs, bacon and toast to the "secret" menu of bacon fried rice with 2 eggs on top and a loco-moco. I finally decided on scrambled eggs with cheese. It was delicious and made with- help me- butter. Lots of butter. It was still good. The SO ordered a scramble that featured bacon, sausage and cheese, and he requested crispy potatoes. They cooked them deliciously crisp, not burnt, and they looked so good that I would sneak bites when he looked away. I was surprised at the large selection of food for this hidden gem. The space is so unique I wish I had discovered this place sooner, as it makes a great place to take people when you want an unusual venue. I would love to come back and have a drink, dinner and perhaps talk the ear off of a pilot who is taking a break. read more

My wife had planned a UYE Elusive Breakfast Club Badge Event at a local restaurant in South Sacramento called the "Aviator's." Aviator's is located in the Sacramento Executive Airport. No one really knew exactly what it took to apprehend this "Elusive Breakfast Club Badge." Rumors had it you had to have at least 3 other Yelpers having breakfast together at the same time. Other rumors were that it took multiple times having breakfast with your fellow Yelper to receive this badge. So today all 18 of us were going to find out what does it really takes to achieve this badge. Prior to coming here my wife notified everyone not to check-in to the restaurant right away but to wait and to check-in all together. So the time had come to check-in all together. I got the go ahead to check-in from my boss (My Wife). One by one you can hear people shouting "I GOT IT" "I GOT IT." I felt like being in a bingo parlor ready to shout out "BINGO" Yes, if you must know, even I was able to get the badge. What's that saying? "Miracles Do Happen" Breakfast started coming fast and furious! I had ordered the ( Senior Citizen Combo Breakfast ) not that I'm a "Senior Citizen"This was scrambled eggs with your choice of bacon, sausage, ham, and 2 pancakes. My breakfast was perfect. The scrambled eggs were light and fluffy and the ham reminded me of Easter Sunday. This is usually the only time I eat ham, not to mention my pancakes were awesome! My wife ordered the same breakfast as I did but instead of getting ham and pancakes, she chose to have bacon and French toast instead. I did notice our friends ordering from their secret menu. Fried rice with 2 sunny side eggs on top. It looked delicious. I'll have to try this the next time. I do have to say today was a total success! It was so nice to get together with friends and to also meet new ones! I really would like to thank Maria for working so well with my wife in planning this event! Special thanks to Chuck and Dina for making this event more enjoyable with the Breakfast Club Trivia Challenge Game and also supplying the prizes. We could not have done it without you! But most of all I would like to give a (BIG SHOUT-OUT) to my wife for planning this amazing event. Aviators Restaurant not only serves fabulous breakfast but also serves scrumptious lunches and dinners and does (Catering). This restaurant gets our (THUMBS-UP) and gets our highest recommendations. Thank you once again Aviators for hosting our UYE Elusive Breakfast Club Badge Event! We will certainly be back! read more

Different... Nice! Came here for a get-together with friends. A group of 15-20 people, including 3 children, came here for breakfast. The location was a bit far from the freeway but was easy to find. I didn't even know that this place existed. Located at Sacramento Executive Airport, this hidden gem was the perfect place to meet and earn our elusive Breakfast Club badge... and we all did at check-in. The facility overlooks the airfield. Our section was set up by the window and one could have a nice view of small planes landing and taking off. Pretty cool! There is a small bar section by the entrance. The breakfast menu consisted of pancakes, waffles, omelettes, eggs, and some specials. But there are two items that are not on the menu that you could ask for and order: Fried rice w/ 2 eggs and Loco Moco! It was recommended by a friend and wow! she was right! My hubby and I ordered one each and it was so delicious! that fried rice... so yummy! For $6.75 it came in big portion and was very filling.Can't beat that combo of great food and price. Not sure what the lunch menu offered but I'm sure the selection is just as good... guess we will have to come back to see! :) Once inside the building the restaurant is located up the steps and there are directions pointing towards the restaurant.. The setting is very casual. They serve breakfast and lunch everyday, seven days a week. They do serve dinner on Friday and Saturday. The facility could be rented for a special occasion also or be used as a banquet hall. It has a maximum capacity of 190 so it can hold a nice party or event. Don't forget they also do catering. Wanted to thank our server and her assistant. I wasn't able to get their names but they did a great job accommodating and tending to our dining needs. Great first time experience dining here. We will be back! Private parking with plenty of parking spaces in the area. Review #0333 read more

If you like airplanes with your Denny's-like breakfast, this is your place. For me it was just mediocre. Waited for 25 minutes to get a table here on a Sunday during brunch time. A wait for a good brunch isn't a big deal for me, but I start questioning what the hype is all about when there were available tables the whole time we waited. I asked if they made Bloody Marys. Server made a face and proceeded to tell me some nonsense about how they make them with a fortified wine. Say what?! Nah, we'll go ahead and get mimosas, which were basic and thankfully only $5. My Spanish omelette was big, sad, and tasted like it was made with canned tomatoes. Zero flavor. Had to use a ton of sriracha to make it edible. The addition of avocado I asked for was a generous amount, so that was a plus. The hashbrowns were redeeming and crispy. Server was also friendly. Clearly they are a greasy spoon with the gimmick of airplane watching. My grandpa would love this place. Will I go back? Nope. read more
