Haven't written a review in a while and I try to only write positive ones since so many people write negative ones, but this place hasn't changed at all and the negative reviews are spot on. We went for breakfast this morning and no one acknowledged us or visited our table. They appeared to be drastically understaffed. No one was even working the bar so that I could get drinks while we waited. We cut bait and left after 20 minutes or so. Don't know how you can stay in business with service that's this abysmal. read more

I had heard around town that the food here was good so my son and I decided to check it out one day. I had a cheeseburger with fries and my son had the kids pancake with bacon. We both enjoyed our food. Portions were substantial and we both had leftovers. Prices were reasonable. My kid is insanely picky. I wish they had macaroni and cheese, a cheese quesadilla, and/or a plain hot dog as a kids meal option. Thank goodness we were early enough to order breakfast because my child does not eat burgers, chicken tenders, or corn dogs. Lord, help me! The best part of this place is you can sit by the window or on the outdoor patio and watch planes take off/land as you eat. This made my kid so happy he didn't even ask for his tablet! He loved watching the planes! read more

Breakfast was very good. Beautiful day to watch planes land and take off. Servers were very friendly. Was able to talk briefly with a few of the pilots and saw the flight simulators that students use there. read more

Wellll... Before you come here, on a late Sunday morning, make sure you have nothing else to do for a few hours after. The wait was terrible getting the food. The service was very good though. The waitress was attentive. The place was fairly quiet, not many people in restaurant ( 3 tables before us waiting when I arrived). At least the food was good. read more

My food took nearly an hour to get to the table, but when it did, it was very delicious

Whole experience was kind of meh...Table wasn't wiped down at all...Service was slow...unknown that karaoke was about to start early that evening (5pm ish ?)....My buddy got the chicken parm and he didn't care for it, and he's not picky....I got a burger and fries...Burger was decent, but I hardly got any fries...So I left still kind of hungry....It's annoying when restaurants short you on fries...Also, I did not care for the bioengineered mayo in packets. read more

The food was ok, it just takes FOREVER to get it. Twice now we've been and it's just not worth the wait. Luckily the airplanes took our attention away somewhat. read more

not good it takes over an hour even when they're slow we have gone over there for breakfast and it takes over an hour. We've gone there for lunch and most definitely takes an hour and a half. Don't waste your time. they keep saying growing pains there's no one eating and you can't get your food in a reasonable amount of time saw several student pilots after an hour leave. And had to leave their order behind. don't go. read more

I'll probably have breakfast here every time I stop in town. Whoever is cooking in the back knows what they are doing. There were so many menu options and something for everyone to eat. I had the French toast with cheese grits, sausage patties, and home fries. They have a bar and different evening events like karaoke and bingo, depending on the night. Emily was a wonderful server. Definitely stop in and enjoy wonderful food with a great view. read more

Good food, fun place for the ambiance and chance to watch planes coming in and leaving!

we ate at Flightline today after church! took over an hour to get 3 burgers and 1 pancake. we never got our sweet potato fries. & when we asked the waitress to bring out some ketchup, she brought an empty bottle, and by that point we had already finished our meal! will not be returning any time soon! read more

Great little spot for sure! Will be back again soon. Thank you so much! Highly recommend.

This is such a cute place to go to give breakfast. I'm not even gonna lie and it's good for good customer service and great hot and ready food read more

Good breakfast. Finally found a place that seasons their hash browns and serves them cooked completely. Sat inside our first time and outside the second time. Had a great time watching the planes take off and land. read more

LOVED THIS PLACE!! Such a cozy little restaurant. We got there about 4:30 on a Fri and were the only ones. Only two other tables came in while we were there. Our waitress was such a sweetie and was always making sure things were okay. The food was absolutely delicious too. Since I usually do keto, I had a chicken sandwich without the bun. Generally places just throw that shit on a plate and call it good, but this place gave me such a nice looking "sandwich!" It was like art! Bf had nachos and they were not stingy on the chicken, it was awesome. They serve alcohol too. I don't know why it's not busier. This place is a gem. Update: the above was a month ago. Returned last night on valentines and it was decorated with heart balloons and they had a valentines playlist. Our waiter, Isaiah, was such a sweetheart and just the best waiter. The food was absolutely amazing yet again. They definitely do not skimp. It's a little out of our way, but so worth the drive. It was the perfect place to eat on Valentines, no wait, quiet, with awesome everything. read more

We held a organization meeting here. They catered a lunch with a great selection of tacos. The food was excellent and the accompanying tomatoes, lettuce, cheeses etc. we're fresh and tasty. If the regular food and services are anything like the catered meal, it's worth a stop. read more

H: coffee- tasty, strong. Chicken & waffles w spicy sauce was very good. Chicken tenders are made in house. You can tell. They were perfectly breaded and cooked. W: two eggs w ham /toast/ grits. Excellent. Ham proper. Grits excellent . Grits not just plopped on the plate. Put in a separate dish. And so good. :) Friend : biscuits / gravy . Very good. Two pancakes/ eggs( sunny side) / bacon. All properly cooked and well presented. Iced tea brewed not out of a soda dispenser. Lovely waitress- Emily. read more

We flew into Winter Haven for a quick bite and some drinks. We opted to sit at the bar and Amir, the owner of the restaurant, provided us with excellent service. Just after a couple minutes of speaking to Amir, you can tell that he takes great pride in his restaurant and wants every person who walks through those doors to have an excellent experience and leave feeling well taken care of. When we walked in, there was a man playing a guitar, which I enjoyed and thought provided a great ambiance. My boyfriend and I were not as hungry as our friend, so we opted to order an appetizer to share. One of the chefs recommended the pimento cheese dip with pork rinds, which are made fresh to order. It was a wonderful recommendation...the pork rinds came out crackling and had a great seasoning on them. They paired really well with the pimento cheese! Our friend had the pimento BLT which was very large and looked delicious. He seemed to enjoy it. When we ordered drinks, I told Amir that I was a craft beer fan and he immediately recommended a beer and pulled it out of the cooler to show me. It was an amber ale that I had never had before. I was impressed that they offered a wide selection of bottled beers here and that he was fairly knowledgeable regarding them. The beer was delicious and was exactly what I was looking for. An overall excellent experience. I will definitely return and am looking forward to trying other items on the menu. I saw multiple dishes come out of the kitchen to other tables and they looked amazing! read more

Definitely don't go if you're expecting to get any help. I came with my children to have a nice lunch. Waited for 30 minutes and nobody helped us. I had to go ask for help. And still waited. Then we got tired of waiting and I mentioned that we were not getting any help. And they acted like they didn't even care. They were helping everybody else around us except us. Completely awful service. read more

I can only speak for myself but a group of us went there two weeks ago. We were promised a breakfast buffet. They did have somewhat of a buffet for $12.99 and a cup of coffee for $2.95. Watery scrambled eggs, overcook sausage Pattie's and hardly any bacon. French toast when they had it was burnt. They took miniature cubed potatoes probably frozen for home fries. It was awful, looked like we got con or they were under new management. My wife and I will not go back. read more

Great food and a wonderful atmosphere. You can take in the planes and relax with great food and service. Had steak and eggs and wife had a huge club. Support local. read more

First time visiting. Food was okay. Service could be better. Server was very open to information but not very attentive (to us at least). The outside seating could use an upgrade as the chair I sat on was broken. But nothing major. Been able to sit and look at the planes go by was pretty good. My son enjoyed some of them. Unfortunately, it is not a place I would repeat, however, it should be given an opportunity at least once. read more

We loved it! Great breakfast, fantastic view of the runway, good customer service! We will be back! read more

This airport restaurant breaks the stereotype of fast disgusting airport food. This place makes everything from scratch! I had the most incredible biscuits and gravy. It may take a little longer to get your food served but it's worth the wait!!! Their Cuban sandwich (Tampa style) was the best I ever had! Can't wait to bring the family out the next time read more

We figured we would try something different, so we decided to try the Flightline Cafe at the Winter Haven Regional Airport. Needless to say my wife and I were pleasantly surprised. We ordered cheeseburgers and added a fried egg on top. The burger appeared to be fresh hand made, and perfect for a good look. Very juicy! We sat at the outside tables and watched the planes take off and land while enjoying the sunshine. They also serve breakfast all day as well. We'll be back. read more

Chose this because it was a pet friendly restaurant but have returned because of the service and delicious food.

We enjoyed our first visit and we will be back for more. Food is good, we like the all day breakfast. Service is excellent, as well as the ambience. Outdoor and indoor dining. You get to watch airplanes while eating which is cool. read more

Best omelet I've ever had! Their grits are very yummy as well. Love the atmosphere here and the waitress was very friendly and personable. My hubby got the beyond burger. It was nice they had a vegetarian option. It's worth a try and you may even see a plane land or take off when eating on the patio. read more

This is an amazing place! The food is fresh and cooked. The Cuban sandwich has pork that is actually not over seasoned and tastes like pork! They do it right, and I should know being Cuban. This is also the first place to cook my eggs perfectly, I'm picky as I like my eggs over medium but with a runny yolk, and completely cooked whites. Well until now only my mom and myself could do it right, and no restaurant or diner ever got it, and the owner cooked my eggs herself cause she knew exactly what I wanted. I appreciated that very much, especially since I have a slight allergy to the white protein and cooking it thoroughly makes it edible, but I hate cooked yolks so I appreciate it so much! The Belgian waffle was nice and fluffy, and the grits was smooth, exactly as it should be. Drank guava juice which tasted like it was fresh out of the tree, sweet with a hint of natural bitterness! And please do yourself a favor and get some dessert at the end of your meal, they make those here too, and the banana fosters cheesecake was richly textured and the bourbon sauce was the best! I only wish I ordered it at the same time as the waffles so that I could have dipped them in that bourbon sauce... so good! This is definitely a place to go, and the ambiance is nice, clean atmosphere with planes and travel theme. You can even go to the patio to look safely at the planes... sit there and enjoy some coffee. This place is a must visit! read more

Food and service were not good and it was expensive. They were out of several things we tried to order and server didn't check on us at all. We will not be back which is disappointing because it is nice to sit outside and watch the planes. read more

what amazing place, we loved 100% recommend the staff very friendly and helpful, the food was delicious only a little late read more

Great location overlooking the runway. Clean, family run and affordable. Very eclectic menu and everything is homemade and fresh. I had the blackened haddock sandwich which was fresh and not overly blackened. Husband had an outrageous burger cooked to perfection piled with brisket and onion rings. The fish tacos were ridiculous and the meatloaf was excellent. Only negative is that they are closing for the summer. We will be back after Labor Update: Went back last week. First time since new ownership. Sadly, not the same. read more

This our first time eating here, it was amazing! The food was great, drinks were good and the service was top notch. We need more places like this in Winter Haven. It was fun eating and watching the planes land and take off read more

Excellent airport cafe. Friendly staff, great food and a aviation themed decor. This airport is on the FBO of KGIF winter haven which is a nice and large uncontrolled airport. They had live music which added to the ambiance. Had the Pimiento BLT which is a Texas toast sandwich consisting of fried green tomato, bacon and kale. So weather you drive or fly in add this place to your list. read more

The service was great. As well, my wife said they made one of the best burgers she's ever had.

We love a good airport restaurant. The ones you find in small airports usually located in the fixed base operations building (FBO). They're the ones that the locals drive to and the general aviation pilots love to find. This little cafe is one of those nice finds. We arrived in time for lunch and seated ourselves by a window looking out to the runway. We ordered a homemade pimento cheese with housemade fried pork skins as an appetizer to start. Service was pleasant and attentive. Hubby got the signature club sandwich the "Jack Brown" and I ordered the blackened fish tacos. The food was well prepared and quite tasty, especially my tacos. The sandwich was big enough to leave leftovers, which we left with. We will remember this place if we are ever in the area again. read more
