After running a half marathon with a friend in Lexington, we headed here for a post-race meal. We wanted to treat ourselves, have a quick lunch so we could get on the road, and not spend too much- and Flight Deck was perfect. The decor of the restaurant is airplane themed and it's fun to look at while you're waiting on your food. You'll also want to take pictures of things or with things (especially with Superman). I ordered the "blue plate special", with the fried flounder and mac and cheese and carrots as my two sides. My meal also came with hushpuppies. My friend had the grilled chicken meal. Our food was delicious, and I highly recommend the macaroni and cheese! I'm a sucker for a good mac and cheese, to the point where I don't always order it at restaurants because nothing compares to homemade, but this was PRETTY close. The flounder was large and seasoned well- I squeezed lemon on it, but it didn't need tartar sauce. The honey glazed carrots were good, although not a showstopped compared to the mac and cheese and flounder. At least I could check off "Eat Veggies" for the day. The dessert case is huge with tons of cake, cheesecake, and cookie options. I added on one of those Heath bar cookies to my meal because 1.) the cookie was the size of my head and 2.) I needed to replenish 13.1 miles of calories. The $1.25 to add the cookie, when you order a blue plate special, is a great deal. You have to add it when you place your order, but trust me and just do it! The service was good and the food came out quickly and hot. We were in and out of the restaurant in under an hour, and the price was right (under $30 for both of us). I'm rating based on one visit, but I'll definitely return if I'm in the area. read more

We went to flight deck twice with my parents while visiting them in Lexington for the holidays. The menu is not overwhelming but is varied enough that you can go many times and not eat the same thing twice. Their prices are wonderful and their staff is attentive and courteous. The food is delicious and we absolutely love the atmosphere and decor. Looking forward to stopping in again on our next visit! read more

Good food, good service & and good family atmosphere! We will definitely eat at Flight Deck really soon. read more

Other than a friendly staff the food is horrible and way over priced!! Lunch for 3 $80 before tip. Heat up frozen wings tasted like crap! $9 for chicken soup with 2 pieces of weird Looking chicken nuggets and watered down broth. Do not go to this restaurant period!!! read more

Flight Deck has always been a favorite family friendly restaurant. The food is consistently good and the service is great. Ted, the owner will often stop by and check on the guests. Love the decor! read more

Wow- we ordered our favorites from the Flight Deck tonight- Country Fried Steak- MacNCheese, and Lima Beans- and It is truly amazing. We actually had it delivered by "DoorDash"... and the quality was incredible. This was our best experience ever. Thank you for making incredible food. read more

Exceptional place with a discerning always present owner who manages by walking around. The service, food quality and cost is excellent. GREAT memorabilia on the walls. This place goes on forever! Walk around "after" you eat..lots to see. read more

I've been to various magazine featured restaurants- at the end of the day nothing can compare to the atmosphere of a little place like this. It's fun, comfortable,inviting and so wholesome for the family. I bring my wife and son here and every single visit we are greeted with the warmest, quickest service. My Grandfather was a veteran and lifelong military man- this place with it's emphasis on aviation history brings such joyful nostalgia that I want my son to keep with him like I do. True classic Americana and always great food, if I could give more stars I would. If the owner or any staff reads this- thank you guys, God bless you. read more

The Flight Deck hosts the Lexington Lions Club business meetings twice monthly. Always good food and service.

Booooo. Food is not great or even mediocre. Service was bland jus like the country steak. Cool atmosphere with pinup style

Had lunch here with my young kids and it was a mixed visit. I enjoy Flight Deck. I've been eating there since before they built the Flight Deck shopping center (when they were across the street). But it just isn't what it used to be. Pros: Service was on point. Quick to meet our needs and great with my kids. - Plenty of options for picky eaters. Cons: -I ordered the Lead Sled: a roast beef platter on sourdough bread with a side of fries and fried okra. When it arrived, the outside portion was cold and the center luke-warm, like it had been sitting our for a while. The fries were fine and the okra, while cooked just right, had no real flavor. What little of the roast I ate was very bland as well. -Fried mushrooms - served hot but also quite bland. If I go again (which it's a huge part of our community so I'm sure I'll be back for whatever reason), I'll just stick to the Corsair - that never disappoints! I'm just afraid that in effort to have a little bit of everything, the Deck doesn't have anything notable anymore. read more

Excellent food. Ordered the Avenger (chicken gyro) with sweet potato waffle fries and it was fantastic. Our waitress was quick, attentive, and kind - she did a great job. Thank you so much for serving our family so well read more

This was the first time I've eaten here . This was about a week ago. There is alot on the menu but the chicken fried steak was calling my name. It's under the "Blue plate special ". Chicken fried steak, lima beans, mac &cheese. The chicken fried steak was perfect. Well seasoned and crispy. I asked for brown gravy instead of sawmill gravy and I was disappointed. It kind of tasted like brown gravy from a jar. The lima beans were good but lacked seasoning. I guess underseasoned can be a goid thing in our high blood pressure society but.. it hinders the enjoyment of the food. The mac & cheese for me was lackluster. It was homemade I could tell but it was swimming in grease from the cheddar cheese. That made it kind of unappetizing. All that being said I probably will eat here again, just try something else on the menu read more

Flight Deck Restaurant - Chicken fried steak with brown gravy, mac& cheese, lima beans & Greek potatoes! Looks awesome! - American Near Me - Lexington, South Carolina

I used to love this place but they have lost their focus. The menu takes some work to decipher. It took an extremely long wait time after ordering, approximately an hour, for basic food like a chicken sandwich, which we ordered thinking it would come out faster. Sandwich was very plain with very little flavor. The bun was good but it needed some type of sauce or mayonnaise. They have an extensive desert menu, but their doesn't seem to be a home run hit that they are known for on the regular menu. read more

Wonderful homemade daily fresh food. Great clean atmosphere. Happy friendly employees. Cool military airplane decor. Kid friendly. Highly recommend. Everything our party ordered was fresh and very tasty. Go. You won't be disappointed. read more

Flight Deck was recommended to me by a local, and I'm glad we went! If you want good food, good desserts, and a fun place for kids, this is the place to go! When we arrived, we were greeted warmly, and had to wait a few minutes for them to get a table ready. In the meantime, we discovered the desserts. Wow!!! They have a wide variety of desserts from cheesecakes, to decadent coconut and chocolate layered cakes to huge cookies and a jelly belly station! We were seated a few minutes later in a back room. We sat at a long table for 6, but we were happy to sit and get ready to eat.The menu has just about every option you could imagine so it was a bit overwhelming and difficult to choose. I enjoyed the Flying goose cocktail, and it was good. It had vodka, melon liquor, and pineapple juice. I felt like I was on an island with the drink, it I was actually in a restaurant with lots of plane memorabilia, and other random decor like the gorilla and Superman. It took us awhile to choose what to order, but we both finally decided. I had the Stuffed flounder with Mac & Cheese, and the Cucumber salad. The cucumber salad was refreshing , and healthy. The flounder was good, but I kind of regretted not getting a sandwich or burger. It was definitely a full meal. My friend loved her burger and onion rings, and she said the onion rings were amazing! After dinner, we decided to get dessert! I chose the Caramel Pecan Fudge cake, and my friend chose the Triple Chocolate Cheesecake. My dessert was good, though I would have liked for it to have more pecans. I'm glad we went to Flight Deck, and I would highly recommend this place to anyone who has kids, and wants to have fun and good food! read more

This place is one of a kind. The atmosphere is almost like hard rock meet little town but instead of Hollywood it's military and airplanes. The servers are attentive and they have the cutest "waitress apron" you can tell they have attention to detail. The food has plenty of choices for a large group but nothing overwhelming. The bakery has tons of cakes, cookies and cheesecake options. (Sadly disappointed in the choc chip cookie- hard as a brick. But PB is the way to go) read more

After my disappointment with Frankie's Fun Park, I headed to Flight Deck to see if their arcade was any better. I walked right through the restaurant (I had other plans for dinner) and into the small game room. Yes, this will do nicely. A couple of shoot-em-up games (the first one broke during play, bummer) but the others satisfied my craving for blowing away bad guys and aliens. Skeeball, whack-a-mole and other games, including a cute carousel for the smallest kids. I saved the Voyager when they were invaded by Borg. Hooray! The kids will absolutely like this, but the minimum game is 50 cents. My $3 went to a good cause! read more

Food was really good. Service was excellent (and we were a group of 10). I am fine with the overall patriotic theme of the restaurant. But I grabbed a copy of The Standard newspaper on my way out, which was offered for free on a rack on the way to the cashier. Turns out The Standard is a collection of essays about conspiracy theories (e.g., "Biden's Marxist Plan to Enslave You"); major rewrites of recent history like the 2020 election (e.g., "the Biden 2020 election win [was] highly unlikely without extreme cheating") and the January 6th insurrection (e.g., celebrating the potential release from jail of the man who carried a Confederate flag into the capitol building that day); as well as more distant history (e.g., "the US War Against the Southern States"); miscellaneous other complaints, like a strong objection to a new South Dakota law that codifies a definition of anti-Semitism; and finally bizarre comments from the editor about a variety of topics (e.g., "Haiti is the Voodoo Capitol of the world where witchcraft and cannibalism abound"). I hope the extreme, rightwing, white Chirstian nationalist propaganda expressed in this publication does not reflect the views of the restaurant owners, but one has to wonder why they would offer it so prominently otherwise . . . and what kind of customers they expect to attract. read more

The review stared with one star because that's as low as you can go. We walked in no one greeted us we were not sure what to do. After about 10min we were able to get the cookie lady's attention and she wrote our name down saying it will be a 10 minutes wait. After 20 to 25 minutes we were seated in the back (Where they forgot about us) at this point I was ready to go. My wife looked up Old Mill restaurant we decided to go there. When we were about to leave. A guy came by and asked if someone had taken our order. We said NO the lady sat us here and forgot about us he said oh and he took our order. The food was good but....... once again to get our bill we waited and waited. We should have left when we first wanted too. I had to calm down before finishing the review read more

Terrible food, unless you like elementary School cafeteria type food. Over priced. Another plain blah tasteless food establishment in South Carolina. read more

Polite staff. Neat atmosphere. Good food. The chicken cordon blue was quite tasty with a side of potato salad.

Got here at 830 and they close at 9 Real nice place... lady sat us and the waiter asked her if we was his guess she said yes he rolled his eyes and acted like he didnt want to wait on us ... girlfriend was going to say something but told her not to. He asked us what we wanted to drink she said water I said a coke he walks away and in 5 mins comes back out and asked us again what we wanted to drink. Girlfriend is getting upset now she dont even want to eat here I told her carm down he just wants to get out of here.. So we order, the food came out he asked if theres anything we need I said al sauce and ketchup and come back slams it on the table. Never came back to check on us. 1st time here and the last It's a shame because the food was good read more

Diner's fish came out not fully cooked. Sent back twice- still not completely done. Staff was great- offered another meal or free dessert. Total of 5 different staff members checked on our table. Children enjoyed arcade. While there saw owner give gifts to special needs guests. Experience was great-fish dish was exception but did not ruin the evening. Would definitely go back again. read more

I began going to the flight even before I moved away from Lexington in 1998, in its original location. Fantastic food, great service and an atmosphere that my son absolutely loves. It's be quite some time since I've been there, last summer (2011) and not much really has changed. The new location is larger with a game room, and unfortunately I believe that it takes away from the overall experience ( why I've given it 4 stars not 5) My father insist that we visit every time that I visit SC, and usually I'm happy to comply. Since I live in Honolulu I tend to miss the southern world that I grew up knowing and loving, so visiting the old stomping grounds are a pleasure. The owner of the Flight Deck always seems to make a visit to our table every time that we visit, I guess it's nice that a business owner seems to remember and care about his patrons. read more

Very disappointed, everything was frozen food. Only meatloaf tasted like it was home made.

Friendly, welcoming to families of all ages, clean and fun!! The staff are all very eager to make sure everyone is enjoying their time at The Flight Deck. The deserts are off the chain good read more

Greek salad was great; service was friendly and responsive. I think what made the biggest difference was the warm interactions the owner has with his patrons. A handshake, smile and genuine friendly greeting means so much. The dessert cases look so AWESOME, loaded with homemade cakes, cheesecakes and cookies. Got a couple cookies for the kids, unfortunately I'm still honoring my New Years diet and didn't get to try any out. Restaurant has a tasteful aviation theme, lots of seating and a game room for the kids where they can earn tickets for prizes. read more

Absolutely wonderful in everything! 1. Food We had their blue plate special. We both chose the meatloaf with tangy tomato sauce topping (you can also have it with brown gravy if you choose, we both got a yummy homemade roll, and we both got green beans. Here we differed; I went for the cucumber salad, and aaa The sweet potato soufflé...hubby had mashed potatoes and gravy. They have a huge choice of delicious cakes, pies, and cookies. Unfortunately, we were being good and didn't indulge...but we will be back to try. Everything was delicious! 2. Price: Easy on the pocketbook...we ate all that and each had a drink for less than $22! 3.Atmosphere: So cool! There's at least 3 small dining rooms and two large...and it is decorated with everything to do with flight...including Superman, and King Kong on the Empire State Building. Plane models, pictures,paintings, and military items having to do with flight, fills the walls ceiling, bookcases etc.The place was full but it wasn't noisy. Also it was at Christmas so lots of beautiful Christmas decor as well. 4.Service: We were seated immediately, our drink orders taken as soon as we were seated. Glen, our server, came back twice, because the menu was so full of choices, it took awhile to make up our minds. 5. The owners: Ted, came around to each table, introduced himself, thanked everyone for coming. Just a very nice guy. Told him I wish he would open a place in Myrtle Beach; we liked it so well. His wife checked us out, told us The Flight Deck was completely family owned and run; and they had been in business for over 25 yrs. Definitely will recommend...and probably will be back next week since we're working in the area again. read more

Despite the fact it's always busy, their food is really good and there's so much variety. My favorite starter is the nachos. My kids love them too. My favorite meal is the chicken cordon bleu with mashed potatoes and gravy. Freaking delicious. Service is very slow here, but they are busy. read more

I was looking for a place to dine outside because I was traveling from Greenville to Beaufort with my puppy. I didn't want fast food I wanted comfort food. I got the chicken cordon bleu. It was great. The ambiance outside was superb. The staff was friendly, accommodating, and very pleasant. I will plan a trip to Lexington just so I can eat here again. P.S. don't skip dessert, they are amazing! read more

This has become my go to favorite restaurant. Finally a place that "gets" it. Not only is the food absolutely delicious and hot when it comes to the table, but the service is excellent! My husband and I dined in tonight and our waitress was Lily. I had a few issues with my order and not only was the issue corrected immediately but all efforts were made to overcompensate for the issue. I haven't had this level of service ANYWHERE in a very long time. So huge kudos to Lily and the staff of the flight deck. I'm a very happy, satisfied customer!! read more

A very solid 5 star experience. Ted, the owner, just came by and talked with me for 10 minutes. Very nice man. I was seated quickly and my server (Ivy) was attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. I had the Blue Plate Special. Fried Chicken, fried okra, and collard greens and added a cucumber salad. I finished with the sweet potato maple cheesecake. I am not a cheesecake fan but this called out to me and it was AWESOME. It did not have the sour aftertaste that so many do; it was a sweet finish to a great meal. read more

My Dining experience here was a joke. Overpriced very basic food with subpar service. It seems more like a glorified hang out spot for older people to get together than a restaurant.
