Wonderful service, delicious food with a great atmosphere. Restaurant is also very clean. Highly recommend

We stopped at Hangar 6 Air Cafe for lunch over Labor Day weekend. I have several friends with private pilot licenses and have spent some time around smaller airfields, so I thought this would be a fun place to take the kids. The experience started before we even entered the restaurant. There was plenty of parking, and the hangar next door was open with several smaller aircraft inside, including what appeared to be a P-40 toward the back. The kids immediately got excited about seeing the planes. There's also a great playground outside along with soccer goals, which gave them plenty to do while we waited. The restaurant itself was very clean and nicely decorated with an aviation theme. I particularly liked the check-in area, which incorporates repurposed aircraft metal and glass. They did a good job making the aviation theme feel like part of the restaurant rather than just hanging a few airplane pictures on the walls. The menu is mostly familiar American fare. The kids all ordered burgers with various sides, I had the Voodoo Salad with chicken, and my wife put together a vegetarian meal from several vegetable sides. The burgers were good, as were the fries. I stole the opportunity to order onion rings as one of the kids' sides for myself, and those were excellent. The mac and cheese had very good flavor, although the texture was unusual--the cheese bound everything together into more of a uniform mass rather than having easily distinguishable noodles. Service was okay. Our waitress was polite but seemed relatively inexperienced and struggled a little with our order. When the food arrived, my wife and some of the kids were still at the playground. I asked the waitress to come back once they returned so they could order anything additional they needed, but that request seemed to create some confusion and never really got sorted out. Air traffic was fairly slow during our visit, and we only caught one takeoff. Obviously that's luck of the draw and not something the restaurant controls, but I can imagine this being an especially fun place to eat on a busier flying day. Overall, the food was good rather than exceptional, but Hangar 6 is much more than just the food. Between the aircraft, playground, aviation-themed restaurant, and chance to watch planes coming and going, it's a really cool lunch stop with kids. We'd come back, especially if we could catch the airfield on a busier day. read more

Ambiance - empty - the only other 5 people there were drinking - not eating - that should have been the first clue Service - the only girl working the front was bothered by everything we asked her for - straws, napkins, ranch dressing, lemons and Tabasco for fish and chips Food - Bad - ordered asada fries, meat tasted warmed up, chicken salad with "black" avocado, when we asked if we could get better avocadoes she said all their avocados were black if we wanted to replace what we had with more black avocado - we passed. Ordered chicken tenders with gravy - it was cold, too scared to ask for replacement because didn't want them to spit in it. Also, had the fish and chips and fish didn't taste fresh. Instead we walked out leaving the majority of our food. When it came to pay - the small staffed restaurant had their employees eating in the kitchen visible through the doors and windows. Cashier - now seems friendly and willing to help because it's time for her tip, asks if we need to go boxes or to go drinks????? No, thank you! I didn't leave a tip, the only thing I'm leaving is a review with pictures of the mediocre food we could have gotten at a gas station and picture of a restaurant that we wish we would have gone to. This place gets 5 stars for CURB APPEAL! read more

Tucked away next to the Uvalde airport -- and I use "airport" loosely -- The Hanger 6 has the kind of vibe where if you take one wrong turn, you might end up fueling a Cessna. Which is cool, in theory. Came in with five savages and your humble narrator.. The place looked open-ish... but the door said otherwise. We're talking "pull so hard it feels disrespectful" energy. I'm staring at a couple inside mid-lunch like I'm breaking and entering while they're enjoying their broccoli cheddar. Finally -- salvation: the lone server opens the door for us with the body language of someone being forced to babysit their ex's dog. Look, I'm never one to throw stones at a server. We've all had days. But let's be fair -- how do you know your day's worse than mine? (For the record, my day was fantastic.) Then the spill happens. Guy at our table fumbles his drink. Splashdown. She sees it. Locks eyes. Walks to the bar, grabs a Costco-sized roll of paper towels, plops it down with all the grace of a DMV appointment... and walks off. No refill. No napkins. No acknowledgment. Just vibes. The Food? * Chicken Fried Chicken: good crust, decent flavor, and thank God it was hot * Broccoli + Mashed Potatoes: cold enough to qualify as a side salad Look, The Hanger 6 has potential -- cool setting, decent plate, and you could probably watch a plane land if you're lucky. But with a heavy door, a heavier mood, and cold sides? This place left me feeling like I crashed my own lunch. Would I come back? Maybe. But next time, I'm bringing my own napkins... and possibly a runway light 2 stars--rounded up to 3 because I saw a helicopter land. read more

This cute and adorable place will capture any flying, navigating or airplane enthusiast's heart. From the location near the flight line to the decor inside. If you're looking for a unique place to eat with good food, definitely check this place out! My husband frequents this place with his work buddies but this was the first time I've been here. I was taken back and appreciated the level of detail/planning from the decor, to the menu and down to the name of the food. The staff was friendly and patient with me as I admired the thoughtfulness that went into the place and especially the menu! I've never seen such an interactive or neat menu before and took some time to admire it. The menu gave enough options to pick from. We chose the following: 1. PT-19 Salad: bed of greens with apples, pecans and blue cheese crumbles and topped with a very well seasoned and moist diced chicken breast. Do not opt for any other dressing except the one it comes with, the honey vinaigrette dressing. It was the perfect pairing for this salad! Definitely a must for any omnivore! 2. Fish tacos: it was a grilled, well seasoned fish topped with their house made pico, coleslaw and jalapeño dressing. It comes with a side and my husband opted for the French fries. The French fries were perfectly crispy and seasoned to perfection. The taco had the right amount of texture with the crunch of the coleslaw/pico to the fish. The dish wasn't fishy at all and prepared well. Another recommendation if you like fish tacos! If you're in the area, you should definitely check this place out! I spoke to another customer while there. Both he and his wife frequent this place at least once a week and they live about an hour away because they enjoy the food and ambiance! A definite must!! read more

Such a unique location. We really enjoyed sitting on the patio and watching planes come and go. The food however was very disappointing. Chicken tenders were over breaded and slightly burnt. The chicken, once you got through the breading, was very dry. I should have sent them back. They were so bad, I didn't even bring them home for my dog I told the waitress how bad they were. I hope she passes my comments to management and the food will be better next time. read more

On our day trip to Uvalde we decided to try this place out. Kind of hard to find if you aren't familiar with the area. When we arrived there was one family there but nobody else. So plenty of seating with no wait. Place was somewhat clean, little dusty in some areas when you look around the dining area. Service was good, I mean we were the only two people in the place. My burger seemed like it had been warmed up and it had a lot of crumbly salty seasoning on it. I was expecting better I guess due the reviews I read. Especially since they weren't busy. read more

Had lunch a while back and the onions rings are the best my sever was destiny and she was so nice and friendly she made sure our drinks were always full love it will g back again to see our favorite sever destiny read more

Service was great! Food, not so much. Burger over cooked, egg way over cooked, bacon was too chewy. Sent it back to remake it, it came out the same way. I offered to cook it myself. Obviously the 18 year old who was cooking was not trained properly. He said the grill was to high. I said, "you may want to turn it down." The coleslaw tasted like dessert. The chicken fried steak was tough. The cream corn with bacon, mp, and onion rings were good. He also started mopping with Fabuloso. That's stuff is HORRIBLE. I told him he should wait till the restaurant is empty to use that or any other cleaner that smelled. We won't go back. read more

Great food! Service and atmosphere.. We were served right away.. the service was fantastic & friendly. Cool 50s airport vibe . Fish tacos outstanding... read more

I've been here before and loved it! This last time I went... was not amazing. The service was horrible. The food was not good, my burger was so salty. The fries were meh. There were flies flying everywhere. We had to ask for forks... it just seemed really unorganized and chaotic. Super disappointed. read more

Absolutely loved this place! The food was good and so was the service. Not to mention the view (if you like airplanes) was so fun. We saw a couple of planes take off and come in. Such a good experience we'll be back for sure! read more

I have not been here for a year and seeing this review reminded me of what a fabulous place it is and how I love eating at hangar six and just sitting out under the awning, watching the planes come in and out. The food is fabulous. I love everything about it, in fact, I am going there tomorrow to eat and watch the planes come in and out. read more

Visited after an event in Uvalde involving therapy dogs. Very pet friendly and the food was good also

Food, service, ambiance - all exceptional! This is the example all airport food should imitate. read more

Good food and very nice people. It is a small place with a varied menu. Lots for kids to look at as they eat. I would skip the cheese curds but everything else was good. read more

Great service and food to go along with. Highly recommend the super spot for x County flying. Dasiy the Super Hosts we'll get your order in quick and served w a smile. Come on By..See ya'll soon. read more

Pretty nice atmosphere for a small area. There was actually a nice little air craft show (not really, just watched a few crop dusters fly in and out). We decided to dine outside, may not have been a great idea with the gnat infestation theses days. If we had the fans running probably wouldn't have been too bad. Service was mediocre but the food was delivered in a timely fashion, still hot upon receipt and had a little kick to it. read more

I came here pre-Covid and I'm not sure why I didn't review. But I'm finally back on the road for work and back at it. Tonight I had the special - shrimp tacos with a side of broccoli. I got two tacos on corn tortillas with perfectly grilled shrimp. The chipotle aioli had a surprising bite but yummy. Even the steamed broccoli was lightly seasoned. The aviation themed restaurant sits right next to the runway so you can see the small planes. If you are lucky, you might catch some taking off. It's a definite come back spot! read more

Had a catch up luncheon with a middle school friend at Hangar 6 over the weekend. GF and I who met in elementary school met up with her junior high BFF; haven't seen each other since 9th grade. Checked out the reviews and picked Hangar because of it's similarities to the Airport Diner in Fredericksburg. Any venue whether it be restaurant or hotel located near the runway is a treat for me. Unfortunately, Hangar disappointed just as Airport Diner does. Took some time get our order taken. I attempted to split an entree with my GF; waitress advised the Chicken Marsala was too small to split. She ended up with the shrimp tacos while I opted for the club sandwich. I overheard the kitchen was hand cutting fries that day as they were out of waffle fries. The fries were limp and terrible. Perhaps adjusting the fryer temp or double frying for a better chance at a crisp exterior. GF's tacos ordered with corn only had one tortilla per taco. Doubling up on the tortillas would increase the dishes appeal. Her fries terrible also. My biggest complaint with my club was the bacon. Think a prop from the next Hellboy movie. Chefs, pay close attention. If you will cook a burger to temperature you should expect someone to ask for something other than annihilated bacon. I might be in the minority and that's fine. I did ask for the bacon cooked to my desire. Cook ignored my request. Waitress returned after my complaint to tell me they were out of bacon. Meaning they cooked all of it ahead of time for the day most likely in the fryer. Anybody in the kitchen care about their guest's preferences? Service was OK. View of the airfield while spectacular didn't make up for the kitchen mistakes and lack of care. Prolly try another place next visit to Uvalde. read more

We enjoyed the food at this place. The onion rings were great and the chicken fried steak was above expectation. The service was somewhat lackadaisical but not so that it became a problem. We also enjoyed the ambience of the restaurant and the location view of the air strip. read more

First time visiting this nice restaurant. Nice ambiance with the murals of military aircraft honoring the history of the property once location to pilot training during WWII. Our server was great and welcoming. She suggested different offerings of the burgers on the menu. We ordered the P51. Wow, have not had a burger this good in years. Hamburger patties are not frozen. They are fresh made to order. Will definitely return. read more

Based on the area, this is a decent place to grab a bite. Service was good, food was okay. Wish they would have had some healthy options.

Mr R and I were on the road at 6.30am to meet the parents for an adventure in Uvalde and hit this for a late lunch on the way back. Ma saw it in Tx Highways and decided she'd be adventurous and try it after 2.30pm. I'm glad she did. Head for the airport, follow the three signs for Hangar 6 and take a right. Reasonable prices. Multiple options. Good food, good service. My family loved Katz's fried pickle spears and are always looking for the inheritor of that perfection. These are far and away the best fried cross-cut pickles I have had, with some good spice thrown in. I tried a turkey version of a Reuben, a Riveting Rosie. Spouse had his fave Frito pie with surprise pulled pork atop. Dad had what looked like a variety of chili dog and ma tried the Dauntless, removing the ghost pepper jack when it talked back to her. I was too slow to grab the tab, but I had a pleasant experience and a good meal here and would recommend it to any meat eater who happens to be in the neighborhood. Veggie options aren't outstanding. read more

Overall rating 9/10 Service staff was amazing and attentive. Sat outside with good weather and good view of incoming planes. There were a lot of flys and a bee but expected sitting outside. Food was delicious and portion was big. The shrimp bowl had a lot of flavor and the wedding cake was huge! Overall great experience. Only complaint is the limited drink menu. Only served bottled beer, craft beer, and wine. No mixed drinks. read more

The food was great and the service was excellent. Even though there was a event going on they still let us go in and eat.

The ambiance was nice but the service was super slow and the food was okay. I had a tummy ache all night.

Magen, who was training someone to serve our table that night, was amazing! My friend and I had quite a nice chat with her-- she went above and beyond in every way. The food was absolutely great. The atmosphere is engaging and I would definitely go again if I lived anywhere near there! read more

food was cold, service was bad, got auto gratuity for 5 people and was not given details until I gave another 20% on top of that. Sent email and never got a response. I will not be going back and hope you don't either. read more

Excellent food and even better service and atmosphere!! Right off the taxiway at the Uvalde airport, really cool history of this old military post. read more

Unique place to have lunch or dinner. Located among the hangers at the Garner Feild Airport, they serve good comfort food. One of the better options to eat while in Uvalde. Take some time to read the history of the airport and local area inside the menu, very interesting. Service was very good. It looks like if you fly your own plane in you can eat a free hamburger if you buy $100 in fuel! read more

My wife and I visited Hangar 6 today for lunch. Pretty disappointed with the food. Very greasy and cold when we got it. The food was great last time I was there. I hope this isn't a hit or miss type of place.. read more

The chicken fried steak was very good. The mashed potatoes and rice pilaf sides were just ok. The cafe was clean and welcoming. The server never asked me how my meal was and never offered to refill my empty drink even though the place wasn't very busy. 3 stars only. read more

Saw this restaurant featured on a Texas travel/food show. Had to try it as we ventured out and found ourselved driving through Uvalde. Did not disappoint. I had the chicken fried chicken w/jalapeno gravy. A HIT! Hubby has the burger special and he loved the unique taste. Highly recommend. The atmosphere is made complete with menus that give a history of the airfield; well done and much appreciated. Then, you can capture a plane/helicopter come and go as you enjoy your meal. read more

This place was very cool to experience. The food we had was also very good! Highly recommend.

This hidden little gem is off the beaten path but completely worth a trek to the Garner Field Airport! We happened upon Hangar 6 on Yelp and decided to give it a shot - we were VERY glad we did. Walking into the restaurant we were greeted by a charming, aviation-themed decor in a diner setting. The waiter, Josh, greeted us and guided us to a table to allow for social distancing from the other patrons. Our corner booth allowed us a view of the runway at the airfield. We had a selection of beer to choose from, along with the usual fountain drinks. They were unfortunately out of wine at the moment, but they usually have it available for service. We ordered fried mushrooms and fried pickles as starters; they both appeared to be hand-battered and were delicious. My husband had the Cuban Missile, I had the Mile High Club, one son had the Red Tail, and the other had the chicken tenders. The sandwiches were perfectly toasted and well-constructed. Everything tasted fresh and made to order. The Cuban was not drenched in mustard, and we were able to actually taste the individual ingredients. The pulled pork on the Red Tail was delicious with a sweet and tangy sauce that didn't overpower the flavor of the meat. My club was delicious, and the cole slaw was light and appeared to have been made from scratch when I ordered it, like there was a head of cabbage in the back just waiting to be sliced. The waffle fries were well-seasoned and not overcooked. The environment makes the meal. Watching the pilots come and go during our meal and the decor really added to the ambience. Our waiter was attentive without hovering, and unfailingly polite. The restaurant was clean, including the bathrooms, and the presence of 2 or 3 flies is to be expected in Southwest Texas. Just ignore them like everyone else does! All in all, 5/5, and I would happily return again and again. read more
