The concept and view is awesome and the food is good. I just wish the staff was friendly and the place was clean. I mean i arrived and i wasn't greeted. I had to say hello to the young girl at the front to be noticed. The menus are trash. They are ripped and falling apart. The carpet was not clean. The tables were not clean. I had to clean my own chair. There was water and crumbs everywhere. read more

Came for break. I had Flight #2 and my husband had the Flight #5. Both very delicious and a LOT of food. Everything cooked to perfection. Eggs on point however you ask them to be cooked. Biscuits and gravy is plentiful and ratio of biscuits to gravy is perfect. Service is quick, efficient and staff is friendly and helpful. Views of airplanes taking off and landing is another highlight! Definitely a favorite in Columbus! Definitely returning! read more

This is probably Columbus's best breakfast. With the new reno, it's very nice and clean. The setting is unique, and it's fun seeing the personal planes and corporate jets taking off and landing. The menu is big with all of your breakfast favorites as well as healthy and hearty lunch options. The staff is very accommodating and friendly. The omelets are my go-to, and they offer egg whites if that's your thing. Pro-tip, order the hash brown casserole or biscuits and gravy in place of piper potatoes. Trust me, the piper potatoes just do not live up. read more

Great spot for breakfast with both larger and smaller groups! If you're a pilot looking for an awesome place to stop for a meal or just fly to for breakfast- this is your spot! It's so fun seeing all the different planes and watching them land and take off from your booth. They recently? started serving mimosas! We've always had great service. If your coming during "busy breakfast times" I'd be ready for a little bit of a wait. read more

Great food choices and reasonably priced meals. Plus you can watch the private planes take off and land. Only open for breakfast and lunch but they are open 7 days a week. You may have to wait for a table on weekend mornings. They also have senior size portions/prices which is nice. Home cooked meals are the usual fare here We like the biscuits and gravy for breakfast and have always enjoyed the lunch dishes we have ordered. Meatloaf is excellent On sundays they have fried chicken Great hidden gem in columbus indiana read more

Blackerby's Hangar 5 Restaurant - The view from a booth at the Hangar. You can see the airstrip with personal planes taking off and landing. Pretty cool place - New American Near Me - Columbus, Indiana

Hangar 5 is a hidden gem, and I do mean hidden! I didn't see any signs for this place. I guess you just have to know where it is. Luckily, my husband did. It's in the airport, by the way. I ordered a pancake with blueberries and bacon inside. It also came with blueberry syrup. It arrived promptly and hot. It had tasted very good and had ample blueberries as well as plenty of bacon inside of it. Mmmmmm. Our service was excellent. I would recommend. read more

Don't go. Sign said it closed on 2/13 for three weeks. It is 3/16. They are not open. There are no updates on their website. Absolute waste of time driving all they to the restaurant for nothing! read more

Mr. Wayne (the owner) runs a great restaurant. My family and I love the food here and love the location. You can watch planes land and take off from your table! Servers are friendly and attentive and prices are affordable with great proportions. This is my go-to breakfast spot, but they do also have lunch as well too. If you haven't tried this place, you need to! read more

Just a great, simple breakfast. I had the eggs Benedict, a great hollandaise sauce. Jessica's Skyhawks was a good and a generous portion. Gracee hammered her bacon and potatoes read more

This was a great place at one time and I would go here with my son and father at least once a week for the past 2 years. However the quality of food has dropped way off. The service is still top notch. Any lunch items that are not fried come out very cold. Mashed potatoes, any gravy item are disgustingly cold. Hopefully Management is aware of the complaints. This is truly a gem of a place but after today we won't be going back for a very long time. read more

This is a good, simple, all-American breakfast spot. It is located within the Columbus Municipal Airport and offers some really neat views of the small airport and the small Pipers that take off and land there. The restaurant itself has a neat airport vibe with an aeronautical theme (not in a cheesy way. They seem to cater to the senior crowd as a significant amount of real estate on their menu is devoted to the "senior menu". The prices are cheap, but the food is not exotic. They seem to be suffering from the same problem that has plagued most businesses lately; low unemployment. Almost all of the staff seemed to be under the age of 18 and were not enthused to be there. When I paid the bill at the cash register the teenager working it did not say a word to me, the 3 people in front of me, or the people behind me; not a thank you, hello, or a response to a hi. Other than the need for some staff training, our experience was good and we would come back. It was the cheapest meal I have ever bought at a US airport! read more

This was one of the first places that I ate after coming to Columbus. I went there with some co-workers who recommended it. Excellent food, quick service and friendly staff who made me feel welcome. read more

I used to come here often before the renovation and I liked it! Typical small town diner feel. My dad is a pilot so he was always thrilled to meet us there for breakfast and airplane watching. Last week was actually the first time in a long time that I've been! First time since the upgrade. There is a lot more seating and it feels brighter and definitely cleaner. Still leaves you with the diner feel but not like you should check the silverware before using. I had what I usually do, everything-French toast, eggs, bacon, coffee, piper potatoes and my toddler had a chocolate chip mickey pancake. Everything came quickly and hot. Everything was delicious and just like mom made it (or I guess me since I'm the mom now!). Coffee cup was never empty and no one left hungry. Very reasonably priced as well. Oh, and we still airplane watched which is a must! read more

What a great (and popular) spot for breakfast (at the Columbus airport hangar)! We went for brunch on a Sunday around 10, and there was a little bit of a wait (but not too bad)! The menu is HUGE. Want an omelet? Eggs benedict? Eggs and sides? Waffles? A breakfast burrito? Biscuits and gravy? French toast? Pancakes? Oatmeal....I'm serious, they have everything. EVERYTHING. After sharing at the menu for 10 minutes, I finally decided on the Skyhawk Pie - potato hash with two basted eggs topped with sausage, green peppers, onions, cheese, and sausage gravy. It was delicious, but I could only finish about 1/3 of the dish! Huge and so rich/heavy! But really good! The Hanger is so fun. Where else can you eat a great Indiana breakfast while watching private planes take off?! read more

If you like a tasty filling breakfast or are in search of the world's best club sandwich, look no further. The atmosphere is open and clean while you watch the airplanes. The coffee is always hot and the toast is always toasty. My favorites are the big omelets or the pancakes, they never disappoint. For lunch you can't go wrong with the mile high club, best club sandwich in the area. read more

Nothing was bad, but nothing was good. The eggs weren't cooked properly. The smoked sausage had the texture of a hot dog, and not much more flavor. The sausage patties were grey and had no discernible flavor or texture. The ham was ok. Just ok. Mediocre at best. read more

The food? The view? Which is better? If you like breakfast and watching airplanes, this is the spot! It's an active little airport, and the dining room affords a great view of the tarmac and the runways. Oh yeah; the food is good, too. We've only had breakfast, but the lunch menu looks great, too. One weird dichotomy; they have excellent sausage patties, but put store-bought sausage crumbles in their sausage gravy. Consequently, I would NOT recommend their B&G, but the omelettes, hash browns, quiche and pancakes are all excellent. read more

Since my husband is a pilot, this is one of our favorite haunts. The biggest drawback is that it is also everyone else's favorite haunt so getting in there is sometimes a challenge. Earlier is better. Pros: Great food! I usually get breakfast or the Sunday chicken special. The owners also own a local soup shop so their soups are first rate. Their hash brown casserole is even better than Cracker Barrel's! Try the waffles, you won't be sorry. Their coffee is a real, consistently good, hearty cup of joe, not that silly frufru stuff. This is comforting home cooking like grandma used to make. They also have luscious desserts, so leave your diet plan at the door. Planes! If you like airports and planes, the view is bliss. Its not a busy airport but there are usually several fun private planes coming and going. Cons: Only open for breakfast/lunch. For fly ins: There is nothing to eat at this airport except vending after 2 pm. In all cases, DO NOT COME HERE UNLESS YOU HAVE PLENTY OF TIME. I'm just sayin. Expect a long wait. Thirty minutes is typical, it may be more on Sunday afternoon. This is not fast food and is worth the wait. The staff is generally overworked and the waiters are not terribly enthusiastic. They are pleasant enough and do what is required, but do not expect to be schmoozed or have your coffee topped off without asking or for anything quick and snappy to happen. If you just relax, take your time, bring an interesting companion and go with it, you'll have a great experience. If you want to pop in for a quick meal or need to fly back out immediately, you may have a problem. The whole airport has recently been renovated so the environment is comfortable for a leisurely visit. Note: If you plan to be here on a major holiday (Thanksgiving, Mothers Day, Easter, Valentines Day, any big eating out day) make sure you have a reservation. They often have special buffets those days which are extremely popular. You will not get in without a reservation, even if you fly in. read more

The Hangar is one of my favorite breakfast spots in Columbus. The coffee isn't watered down and is consistantly good! I have had the veggie omelet, The Comanche layered breakfast thing, and the french toast, all very good and all things that I have ordered repeatedly. The toast is thick cut and very good! I always get the rye, however the white and wheat all come out the same thick cut goodness. Only thing that they could do to step up their toast game is to have some homemade preserves or something better than the prepackaged Smuckers stuff. I've never had an issue with the service, even when it is busy on a Sunday. Only once did I have to wait a few minutes for a coffee refill, but the food always comes out in a timely fashion and everyone at the restaurant takes time to help all the tables if they see you need something or simply to ask if everything is ok. I love the view of the planes and that makes the wait time (if you don't get there before the weekend rush) go by very fast. I adore The Hangar! read more

I have been coming here for Breakfast for quite sometime at different times of the day and the food is always really good! I think now that more people know about it there seems to be longer wait times, primarily on weekends! If you want great food and don't mind a short wait then I highly recommend it! read more

Sunday = 30 min. wait! Just be patient & try their pancakes! The Hangar is a lovely place to sit and stay awhile. The wait on the weekends is crazy but if you are patient it is well worth it. Most of the breakfast meals are under $10 and they have a nice variety. I really like their skillets and their combination meals. Their coffee has a nice flavor but if your waitress is busy you may only get one cup. It is really really cold in there so definitely bring a sweater at any time of the year. If you are in a pancake mood, this is the place for you. Honestly, their flavor and consistency is so yummy that I would recommend trading your toast for a cake! My grandparents love going here because they have a great senior menu with good discounts. Finally, their hours don't extend past the afternoon so plan accordingly! read more

Very cute place inside the terminal building at the Columbus Municipal Airport. Great views of landing field and runways. Piper potatoes (hash browns) are good but mushy, not fried crisp. Sausage in the omelette is yummy. Biscuits were very flakey, but dry. Western omelette is very good. Biscuits and gravy are very good. Bacon was limp, but tasted good. Service was a little slow, and had to ask for a few things twice. If we lived in Columbus I could see us eating here occasionally, but I don't think we'll make the trip from Indy just for this. read more

I've never had a bad meal here. Both grilled chicken sandwiches are great. The chicken is cooked well and not dry or tough. The meatloaf is huge and very very good also. My friends all got the port tenderloin. They said it was great. One even ate two of them at one sitting! read more

We love this place! It's a total hidden gem! Great lunch and great breakfast...which is great since the hubs loves breakfast for lunch and I love well lunch for lunch! I crave their buffalo chicken wrap and the hubs craves their blueberry pancakes! Service is always so polite! Definitely worth the sometimes long wait for lunch on Sunday's after church!! read more

This place is fabulous! We stop here every time when we're flying east. The Food is fresh, cooked to order and delicious. The servers are always very friendly. We love it here! read more

This place has excellent breakfast! The staff are very friendly and they have great service. The food is very delicious! I ordered the full order of French toast with a side of bacon and my wife ordered the #5 (2 pancakes, 2 eggs, 2 strips of bacon). We enjoyed everything, not only the food but the whole atmosphere! Our daughter liked watching the planes and a helicopter land near the restaurant through their large row of picture windows. We will definitely go back for breakfast again sometime, or even try out their lunch. It's no wonder this place was busy. read more

This place is unique within itself, when you walk in you can see the whole air strip , they have booths that sits close to the window. There's not a lot traffic on strip but the wide open veiw is nice. Far as the food , which I had breakfast it was worth the price. It came out hot and quick, I had french toast meal a 1/2 order and it was plenty. It's worth a one time experience even driving there, you have to cross a old bridge that can hold one car at a time I'm glad no one else was approaching when I was. The road has a long stretch and reminds me Savannah GA they all the tress stretch over the street like a tunnel , nice veiw. read more

Blackerby's Hangar 5 Restaurant - New American Near Me - Columbus, Indiana

Traditional American fare. Breakfast and lunch dinner menus. Friendly staff and clean atmosphere. The best part is the location, it's actually in the main terminal of Bakalar Airport. (Columbus, In). It's a treat to be wearing and watching planes and helicopters take off and land. read more

Pros: unique location; menu items are not overpriced Cons: WHERE DO I BEGIN???? Cannot handle high volume; worst customer service; disorganized; staff lacks class; received bill before even receiving meal; unprofessional business; shouting unnecessary comments to crowds of people This is before ever getting our meal. I'll leave the rest open for you to decide......... read more

Our go-to breakfast spot - great food, reasonable prices, and great views. I always get the Comanche layered breakfast if it's breakfast time, or the BLTA (bacon lettuce tomato avocado, with cheese-crusted bread. Yes, it's as good as it sounds, and you know the bacon is done right at a place known for their breakfast) if it's lunch time. read more

My brother told me about this place and so my family and I tried it out today along with my brother and his family, I have to say that it was worth the drive. I got pancakes and bacon and it was all very good! My kids got Mickey Mouse pancakes and they loved them! The staff was very nice and fast, and although there were no planes that landed while we were there, it's still neat that they have big windows to watch when planes do come by! So even though it's like in the middle of nowhere and it doesn't look like a restaurant on the outside don't let that fool you, this is a great place for breakfast! read more

Such a fun place due to the unique location, my 8 yr old loves to watch the planes land, remember to ask for Dee as your server, we have lucky enough to get him the last few times we have been in, great server. Food is good, but the service is what keeps us coming back. read more

Inexpensive, fast service, delicious food and you can see planes coming in on the adjoining runway. Then a free museum to reflect on and honor those who have given their life for our country. Definitely a favorite for breakfast! read more

A surprisingly good breakfast in a place you wouldn't expect--a small airport near the outlet mall. The servers were friendly and the food was solid. The ambiance is cute like a little diner surrounded but planes. Prices are reasonable. There seems to be a small museum next door that one could visit as well but we did not have the time. Due to its proximity to the outlet mall, will likely visit again. read more

Good restaurant that commits highway robbery during special events. Avoid this place for any special event. Normally their menu is reasonably priced with a broad selection of items. I went here for their "Easter event" brunch (around 10AM) got reservations as you'd expect it to be busy given the holiday. A normal meal here any other day of the week costs ~$10 + drink cost. During their events they charge 2X and setup cheap plastic tables outside of their restaurant into the airport lobby to maximize their gouging event. For your double priced meal you get a buffet with 0 breakfast items (for a place that has half their regular menu as breakfast and isn't open past 2PM most days I found this appalling). The bus service was good but they would take your utensils and there were 0 spares at the buffet line or at the dessert table. Its like they didn't want you to go back for seconds when they themselves are charging double the price. The icing on the cake was the little piece of paper reminding you to tip your server well during the holiday. I get that they are working a holiday and all but this is normal hours for them and they are getting double the tips just based on the normal 15% rule because the restaurant is charging double the price! *throws yellow flag and blows whistle* unnecessary roughing of the customer! nearly $100 after tip is ridiculous for 2 adults and 2 kids. I have frequented this place whenever my parents fly into town and from hence forth when they fly into the airport I will pick them up and drive them to another restaurant even if it is a 30 minute round trip hassle. I refuse to eat here again. read more

Awesome atmosphere right on the airfield. Clean and updated restaurant nestled off the beaten path. Had breakfast and was not disappointed. Great coffee! read more

One of those places locals know about. This one specializes in simple diner food, whether it's breakfast or not, in a small airport setting. If you're looking for anything even remotely healthful or more sophisticated than Midwestern diner (with the shortcuts that usually entails - though it's easy enough to order around the items that come from a can), this is not the place for you. Again: let me emphasize: you're paying ~7 bucks for a breakfast that will keep you full to the gills all day, expecting a "chef" is an effing joke, right? The staff seems to stay pretty busy, especially during Sunday post-church rush (maybe it's the pressure cooker fried chicken Sunday-only special...nomnomnom nomnom); service rates proportionally with how busy things get, but is certainly always friendly & adequate. Orders are served hot, even when they're totally bum-rushed, quick, quick, quick; tables seem to turn about every 20 or 30 minutes, which means not much of a wait, even when busy. Portions are generous to enormous (especially considering the price), the menu is especially varied (again, given the "diner food" caveat). Ingredients are fair - again, especially given price. Love their biscuits, especially for this far north. Place makes a fair egg, even sunny side up. Not sure about their Hangar Potatoes, but the Hash Brown Casserole is tasty. I do have to say, I wish that they took the time to get a good sear / flat-top crust on sausage / bacon / smokies / hash or a crust from letting the Hash Brown Casserole sit on the flat top for a few minutes. read more

This place used to be great but has recently gone downhill. The breakfast food is still decent, and I will keep going for the view/location. However, the service is not the best and the food on the lunch menu left a lot to be desired. My chicken salad wrap was made with a raw tortilla and had whole grapes in it- one still had the stem on it. I was disappointed because I had previously loved this place so much. Like I said, I'll probably keep going for breakfast, but for lunch I'll be going elsewhere for sure. read more
