The food was really great, and the service was too! At one point a waiter came over to my son to give him a plane tattoo, that he loved and showed family all weekend. The cute decor was spot on. Can't believe it took us so long to try this place! Our only complaint, (and really it was my husband's) is that the maître D needs a little sprinkle of Xanax in her orange juice. She's completely spastic and yelling at everybody and was super overwhelmed. I asked her if it was common to be this busy and she said "EVERY SINGLE DAY"- ( I was thinking maybe she's being so crazy because this is a one off but apparently it's every day and she can't get with the program lol) But busy is good! They're clearly doing something right. My husband didn't want to go back after seeing the maître D yelling at everybody, but I was like I just ignore her - she's just over overwhelmed (apparently daily lol). But if you can get past her outward nerves while waiting for a table- it's worth it and a 10/10 experience. Our son absolutely loved eating his chocolate chip pancakes while watching the planes take off! read more

Our first outing for breakfast. Decided to try this one. Food was decent. Gravy was very bland though. Reasonably priced and very busy if you show up after 9:30. Very small "inside" dinning area we opted for the lobby area instead which also filled up quickly before we were done. Coffee was pretty good. read more

LOVED this little place on the grounds of the old Naval Air Station. Place was hoppin' when we arrived for a late breakfast - luckily there were 1 or 2 open tables. Great aviation-themed décor with a cavalcade of 1/32nd scale model aircraft hanging from the ceiling. And the food...great hometown-style comfort food. I went for Eggs Benny - superb! Girlfriend LOVED the place - Biscuits & Gravy received a hearty thumbs-up. Server was great as well. We'll be back!! read more

Hidden gem in Cape May County. Excellent diner menu with something for everyone. Love the inventive names of the breakfast offerings. Had a delicious breakfast sandwich on ciabatta bread. However, even with a steak knife, it was pretty difficult to cut. The interior of the diner looked adorable, but we were seated on the outside, almost like a vestibule? A little chilly with the door constantly opening and closing. read more

Flight Deck Diner was fine, but it's certainly not a destination. I guess it's rated so highly because the prices are low, and because the location and flight theme are novel. That's fine, but eggs are overcooked and underseasoned. Home fries are bland. There are a lot of great diners in South Jersey. Don't go out of your way to visit this one read more

Nice breakfast and assortment. No airplane views while dining but you can see that outside.

The boss had 2 eggs, bacon, pancakes and potatoes while I had the chipped beef on a biscuit with 2 eggs over easy. The guy sitting next to us said he comes everyday. If I lived closer by, I would too. The boss and I thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Everything was made perfectly and the service was friendly and prompt. Prices were incredibly reasonable. Right next to the NAS, Naval Air Station,museum, the diner has a bunch of paraphernalia related to the NAS and those that serve. Top notch breakfast place. If you eat here, you will love it. read more

I've never been to a diner or restaurant where someone helicopters in and grabs breakfast. That totally happened while visiting @flightdeckdiner in Cape May. How cool is that? Not only can you get a good, simple breakfast at a very reasonable price, but it's an awesome spot for kids too. Model airplanes are hanging from the ceilings, and police badges from pretty much every NJ town are displayed on a wall. Service was fast, table turnover was quick, and once again, everything we ate was good! My plate came with 3 eggs any way I wanted them, home fries, a protein of choice (I chose scrapple), and a couple of pancakes. The other dish is a veg omlette with home fries (also came with toast). I wish I had a chance to try the creamed chipped beef, hopefully next time! Watch some planes take off and land while drinking your diner styled coffee and eat a classic affordable breakfast in Cape May! When you're done, you can even swing by @capemaybrewco for a 6 pack! read more

Good food, nice and affordable. Only down side was service wasn't 100% and when me and my familey went we felt rushed on a rather slow day.

This is a wonderful "locals" establishment. Took my brother and sister-in-law here last week. We all had delicious food, which was very reasonably priced. Something for everyone! Highly recommend! read more

Food and service was excellent!! Our waitress was amazing and attentive. We were there around 10 this morning and would totally go back!

Basic family type dinner/breakfast and lunch. Who is reasonably priced and the service is good..

Everything about this place was great. Nice little dinner where you can watch some small aircraft arriving and departing. Wait staff was pleasant and on the ball. Food was delivered quickly and correctly . Prices are very reasonable. I was not expecting the large variety of food options . Was quite nice to be offered lunch and breakfast with so many choices on each. Definitely recommend read more

Cool place to get breakfast or lunch. They close at 1400, so I recommend getting there by 1245 because they are always packed. Service is friendly and fast. For me the portions are perfect for breakfast and lunch, I left full but not so stuffed that I felt like I needed a nap Most tables have a view of the runway, while we were there we saw to small Jets land, 1 small Jet take off and multiple single engine plans landing and taking off. If your a history buff and you like good food this is your place, the restaurant is located in the lower level of the WW2 Wildwood Naval Air Station Air Traffic Control Tower. Either before or after you eat you can visit the museum dedicated to an Era long since past. read more

Fast service but I never felt rushed. Good food. Interesting decor. Lots of seating for the space, I sat at the counter.

Service here just sucks! Don't expect a hello, or even to be acknowledged. Food is mediocre. Nothing special. I went twice, and different servers, same attitude. There are too many places nearby to eat, than a cup of frustration. read more

Flight deck is a good place to eat. Portions can be better but all in all this place is good the staff is out standing . It's more for the youngsters to see planes land and take off . I'd say increase your Portions and watch you take off more!!! The staff is great hope they listen to this review or find a bigger place for seatting.. good luck read more

Awesome place with a super friendly atmosphere. Excellent food, went 2x on our quick getaway down the shore. After you eat check out the museum next door - both are real gems of the community! read more

The food was okay unlike i was eating my pork roll and I found a two pieces of onion no one at my table ordered onion and the service was slow and rude not going back read more

The Flight Deck Diner is one of my parents favorite places to grab breakfast and lunch, they're frequent flyers. I finally had a chance to stop by and enjoy breakfast here during the off season & I'm a fan. The Flight Deck is clean, the staff is friendly & accommodating, the menu is large, the food is good and the place is unique being right next to the airport. I had the crunch french toast and I'm not sure I'd ever order anything else - it was DELICIOUS. read more

Flight Deck Diner - Little pilot meals. - Diners Near Me - Rio Grande, New Jersey

Such a cute Aviation themed diner, excellent Breakfast food & very friendly hostess & our waitress was wonderful. Worth the trip!

Great diner for breakfast. Large menu, great prices . Sometimes a wait for a seat, but when you are sitting the server is fast and efficient. I am not crazy about potatoes with my bacon and eggs so I ask for fruit instead and their bowl of fresh sliced strawberries, bananas and blueberries is a delicious alternative. The view of the airport and planes landing and taking off just adds to the experience. read more

Great food Great Service Great Ambiance Highly recommended this place if you are ever in the Cape May area! read more

No clue why the reviews of this place are so good. It's way too small, very tight seating, food is just ok, service was mediocre. We showed up to a short wait. We were told 20 minutes and it seemed like it was a little less. Sat down at a 4 person table but our kid was told he couldn't sit next to his mom because they needed a walkway between tables. She wasn't exactly nice about it either. Then the waitress told my kid they had chocolate milk when they didn't. Then we ordered the food. It was just ok. Nothing special. Diner food. We were then overcharged for our pancakes. They hand calculate the total and she was not very good at math. Jerry Springer was on the TV that they made my child face the entire time we were at the restaurant. Won't be going back. read more

Stopped by this diner on our way back home after a trip to Cape May. Loved the hometown feel of this place and seeing all tbe planes was absolutely so cool. Service was great.

A fantastic little gem tucked away at the Cape May Airport. The staff is friendly. Food was quick and delicious. Great diner selections. We were there on St. Patrick's Day and they had brilliant holiday specials. The entire place was airplane themed and you have a nice view of planes. Love the counter seats too! Check this place out. read more

We enjoyed breakfast sitting near the window and looking out at plane's coming and going. The menu was interesting with lots of breakfast choices. The named the breakfast choices after military names. The meats are well known brands and delicious. Everything we ordered came out hot and quickly. Considering it's only open until 2:00 it's a good idea to get there early. We arrived at 11:30 and were seated quickly. I couldn't help but notice how the restaurant started to fill up around 12:00, so go early so you don't have the wait. There was a military museum that was there but was closed due to being renovated. The waiter was pleasant and helpful. The only issue which I happened to notice as we were getting ready to leave was what appeared to be rodent droppings under the table. The restaurant is old and the airport is an open field so I'm sure it may need an exterminator to take care of this issue. If I hadn't noticed it I probably would have given the restaurant a higher rating. If they take care of that issue they would be up in the 4 or five range. They have all the seniors going there and the prices are great! read more

Cute little diner on the air strip. Very crowded but quick turnover and service was wonderful. Food was plentiful and not too pricy.

This is a must-try experience if you're ever in Cape May. The diner sits right next to a flight terminal, so you'll see and hear actual planes taking off or landing during your meal. We came on a Saturday morning and had to wait 10 or so minutes to be seated. We absolutely adored the decor and memorabilia dedicated to everything flight/plane related. My friend got the waffle, which he said was standard, and I got a breakfast combo with a side of bacon. Standard diner food, very filling, quick service, and absolutely nothing to complain about! read more

Good cheap breakfast and lunch place. Fun to watch the planes and eat. Pretty fast service. Wait can be a little while

The food was pretty good, the service was fast, and we enjoyed a nice view of the airplanes.

Came in for lunch about 45 minutes before closing on a Monday and the place was busy (always a good sign). We weren't the last ones in either as people just kept coming. Service was quick and attentive. We ordered the kids cheese burger with fries, chili burger with fries and I had 1/2 and 1/2'with the seafood bisque and grilled cheese with tomato. Everything was good, the fries and the soup were my favorite. Prices and portions can't be beat. Cant wait to come back for breakfast. read more

Ordered a quick breakfast for takeout on a Saturday in July. Cheese omelette with tots and toast. $7 and it was pretty good. Good portion and I didn't wait long. It was kind of confusing when I picked up; 3 people asked me what I was picking up before they found my order. I'll be back for takeout again. read more

We ate at the flight deck diner as a recommendation from a friend. The place is way off the main road and in the middle of an airport. It's in a weird spot and not the easiest to find. We arrived today for breakfast and were sat immediately. The food was decent, nothing to write home about. We ordered the Italian omelette and the western omelette. The food came out ridiculously fast, before the drinks. The western omelette was good and packed with ham and veggies. The Italian said it had sausage but there wasn't much if any in there. We did split and order of sausage and that was good. My biggest issue was the service. The waitress walked by numerous times without checking on us and not giving refills. At one point we didn't have butter for toast, we needed to flag down a busser. We needed refills on coffee and again she was at the counter talking to the regulars. The food is okay and the prices are fair but the service lacks. Not sure if I would return. read more
