My son had never been here so we went for breakfast. Prompt and friendly service with standard breakfast fare served exactly as you request it. Good value too. It's kinda a hidden gem in Chandler, although it's been there for as long as I can remember. After breakfast, I like to spend a bit of time checking out the aircraft coming and going. The variety of aircraft that use this airport is cool. read more

The omelette was huge and flavourful. Definitely needs the green chile sauce. Nice mild heat Chorizo was k we cooked but still moist !!? Pancakes amazing as were the has browns. Worth the visit for the atmosphere. It does get loud. Service was good and pleasant waitress Ambiance noisy but that's the atmosphere. I enjoyed it. Would I come back ? Hmmm. The breakfast was good but not warranting the long drive for us. I would come back with the grand kids as a novel place To eat. read more

If you're looking for a spot that feels like it's hidden away but clearly isn't a secret to the locals, let me tell you about the little restaurant tucked right by the Chandler Airport. We stopped in on a Wednesday around 1 PM expecting it to be quiet... and instead found the place happily buzzing with families, pilots, airport staff, and pilots. First thing you notice? The people. The servers have clearly been there for years, and it shows. They greet regulars by name, remember orders, and make everyone feel like they belong there. That kind of service is rare these days and it sets the tone right away. The space itself is cozy but surprisingly roomy. There's a classic countertop (which I absolutely love), plenty of seating, and even outdoor tables for those beautiful Arizona days when you want sunshine and a side of airplane watching. Being right at the airport adds a fun little bonus -- you can catch planes taking off while you eat. Now let's talk about the food -- because wow. The menu is classic American comfort with a Mediterranean twist, and everything tastes fresh, made-to-order, and high quality. I ordered the mushroom burger, which was perfectly cooked and loaded with flavor. One of my sons went classic with a hamburger topped with bacon -- simple, juicy, and exactly what a great burger should be. My other son ordered the chicken shawarma sandwich, and that one might have stolen the show. Tender, flavorful chicken wrapped up and -- great touch -- stuffed with fries inside. He absolutely loved it. The portions were generous, the prices were very reasonable, and every bite tasted like it was made with care. It's the kind of place where the food is excellent, the service is even better, and the atmosphere just makes you want to linger a little longer. Great food. Friendly people. Cozy vibe. Airplanes taking off in the background. Honestly? Amazing. If you're near Chandler Airport, this spot is absolutely worth the stop. read more

Came here for breakfast after signing closing docs nearby. Food and coffee were great and we got to watch some Veterans taking flights in an old bi-plane! Very cool place, we'll be back!! read more

We've heard and known about this little cafe forever and finally took the plunge to try it. Located at the Chandler Airport, it took a second to figure out the parking and entrance. You have to go through a security gate which is unlocked and you walk along the pathway to the cafe. We were told to sit wherever we wanted when we came in and chose a table by the window. You really couldn't see plans coming in and taking off from where we sat but cool concept. No children, all older folks (we arrived on a Thursday morning around 9ish) and there is seating in and outside. I don't remember our server's name but she was perky, friendly, and helpful and offered up the cinnamon roll suggestion saying they were the best and something they are known for. Ok...it was good and a tad different than your traditional cinnamon roll with a thicker cake-like batter. I had the hash and eggs, nothing special (typical canned hash) and I wish I had requested it crispy because it needed more crisp to it. Eggs over medium and they were cooked to perfection. I asked for sourdough toast and had to chuckle at the perfect circle of melted butter right in the center of both pieces. So much for crust-to-crust! Wife had the chicken fried steak, apparently another well-know and favorite dish. It was good, if you like thick sausage gravy. The meat was tender and she asked for the chunky potatoes, which were seasoned well and cooked to a tender finish. Overall nothing to yell about. It was a good, decent breakfast and what really made it fun was reading all of the great signs posted around the restaurant. Breakfast for two was $40. read more

Had a great breakfast here with my sister last Saturday. We had a few hours to spare while her car got serviced at Toyota so we decided to come here. We got dropped off at the front and we entered through the gate. We made it past the outside dining area and the main entrance was on the front side facing the small planes. Once inside, we were quickly greeted and told to pick a table. We chose to sit inside as the outside was busy and it was already too hot. We sat down and like two seconds later our server came over, introduced herself, took our drink orders, and dropped of the menus. I ordered the steak and eggs with cubed potatoes and my sister ordered the French toast breakfast. Our food was made super fast and it came out not long after we ordered. Everything was hot and flavorful. The steak was really good as it was cooked well and tasted really good. The french toast were delicious and they were thick and fluffy. Service was GREAT and our server was attentive and nice. We had such a great experience! read more

This is such a fun little cafe next to the airport with indoor and outdoor seating so you can watch the planes. The decor and vibes remind me of a funky diner. Our server, was attentive, friendly and funny. She gave us some solid suggestions including that the cinnamon rolls were a must because they just came out of the oven and boy were we really happy we got it because it was absolutely huge and delicious. it was the right amount of doughy texture and a generous helping of icing on top-yum! In addition to the yummy cinnamon roll, we ordered Chicken fried steak and a standard breakfast- both dishes were good but for sure the standout to us was the cinnamon roll lol. Overall, it was a nice and quick experience and it's a fun place to stop if you're in the area or want to take someone who is really into planes! read more

We came here on a Monday morning and it wasn't too busy. It's a nice location being next to the airport so you can watch the planes. You can eat inside or outside. Cute decor. Our server, Shannon, was very nice, friendly and upbeat. She gave us some good recommendations. She mentioned that their cinnamon rolls were just coming out of the oven so of course we ordered one as an appetizer. My husband is a little fussy about cinnamon rolls and he thought it was pretty good and he would order it again. I think it was the favorite item that we tasted. Between the 3 of us, we ordered: Chicken fried steak - my brother said it good. Greek Omelet - Nicely cook omelet. The gyro meet was ok. Potatoes were delicious. Pancake breakfast - Pancakes were good (not great) and pretty large, eggs nicely cooked and sausage patty was good with a slight "kick." All in all, it's a solid place to stop if you're in the area. read more

Hanger feels like walking into an old school diner where everything is made with love. The food tastes home cooked and the staff is so attentive, making sure every need is met. It instantly reminded me of being at my grandparents' table and feeling right at home. This place is a true hidden gem. If you know, you know. Perfect spot for brunch and one you'll want to come back to again and again. The French toast and cinnamon roll are must tries. The country fried steak was perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy inside. Every bite was delicious. Highly recommend checking this spot out for your next brunch. read more

Definitely recommend this place if you are looking for something unique. The food and service are both great. read more

Perfect greasy spoon, which is exactly what I was looking for. You feel like you are walking into flow's diner. I went with the biscuits and gravy, which was two full biscuits and a perfect gravy with just a little bit of kick.. Being that it was the weekend, it was packed and there was a sign-in sheet to get seated. Who would've known this little hidden gem perfect for families or just a quick breakfast at the counter for one was even here?! Service was great as this is clearly a well seasoned staff. No pun intended. Get up on the second deck just to see what's happening on the tarmac at the small municipal airport before getting seated or after. read more

Dog friendly patio is our spot to enjoy good sized portions and airplanes. You can almost feel the prop wash. Go hungry. Leave satisfied.

Came here with friends for brunch, and found out they don't have brunch, just breakfast or lunch. Since it was after 11am, only lunch. I really wanted an omelette. Well, on Saturdays they serve breakfast till 12, and Sunday is all day breakfast. I'll have to come back. I did not know this place existed. Very cool place. You are literally in the airport. When you are following your GPS and it tells you to go straight but the sign says Dead end, just keep going straight and you'll find it. Very low key. We ordered salads, sandwich, soup, mushroom burger. Not epic but good enough. I mainly just like the location. You can get take out and sit outside on the second floor and watch the planes take off and land. read more

Great place to have lunch. I had the traditional club sandwich and it was one of the best clubs I've had for some time. Generous with the bacon and turkey. Toasted perfectly. Decent French fries. Service for the 7 in our group was speedy and food came out fast and at the same time. Diner experience with a couple Biplanes out front. Great stop. read more

This is a family favorite of ours. We love the combo with the biscuit and gravy . I always ask for onions and peppers on my hashbrowns. We always have so much leftover! Service is fast and friendly. read more

Always a good place to start your day. You can sit outside and watch planes, and sometimes helicopters, take off and land while you dine. It's cafe styled home cooking. Think of your mom being your short order cook. Breakfast until sometime around 11. It's not a hard and fast time. But once they switch to lunch, there's not going back to breakfast. Lots of good options for both, so no worries. When the owner comes in, he speaks to everyone. Checks in on each employee. I like that. Then he helps out. Makes for what appears to be a good work environment so we can enjoy our meal. read more

My first time ever going here with my husband, we went for breakfast today and wow! We had such an awesome experience all around. The food was yummy, huge portions for a really good price, and AMAZING service. Our server was so nice and personable. Service was fast, food came out very quick and hot. When we went to pay our bill, our server told us that our check had been taken care of by another table and it was a theme for the day that started a few tables before us, and people kept paying it forward. So of course, we happily paid it forward and picked up the tab of a table near us. Such a pleasant experience all around. We will definitely be back! What a hidden gem in Chandler! read more

A local cafe with a local diner feel. This is my second time visiting this nostalgic eatery in the Chandler municipal airport. On Sat March 16th, around noon, this place had 85% of the seats occupied. Airport staff, visitors, children and small plane enthusiasts made up the diverse mix of patrons. The aroma of freshly cooked burgers filled the air as we were seated at a table. I don't have fond memories of the food from my last visit but the Philly Steak sandwich I had on this visit will be fondly remembered! The thinly sliced rib eye, grilled onions and peppers were phenomenal on the toasted french roll! The expertly grilled vegetables elevated this entree for me. I was excited about trying the in house made potato salad but was disappointed due to its mushness and being served chilled would have enhanced its appeal. Basic was the side salad for $5.00 but I felt I should get more vegetables! ;) For me there were hIghs and lows but the philly steak stole the show! read more

Great little motorcycle ride out the hanger good food and amazing staff. Had some cool planes come in and out while we were there.

We came back again last weekend and despite being packed we got sat immediately. One of the reasons I am not big on eating breakfast out is the long wait but thus far we haven't had to experience that here. I will say if you don't get a seat near the windows or on the runway side of the restaurant then it kind of takes away from the draw of this establishment. We sat furthest from the run way and didn't get to see any aviation action. It would be nice if they updated their plastic covering on the patio so you can see through them. Right now they are not clear enough to see through unless you are right next to them. The food was good but not as good as I remember from the first time. The only real critique I have is they need to clean better. Our table and the items on it, like salt and pepper shakers, etc. were dingy and need a real good cleaning. It is clear that they turn and burn here to get people sat but I wish they would move the items on the table around and clean under them. There was a hair on our table that was half way under the sugar cady and it wasn't from us. This is a good place and I will return but I hope they do some deep cleaning more often. read more

First time coming here , I had heard so many good things about it. It's open from 7-2pm located in the Chandler Municipal Airpark. It is small inside with some outside seating so you cold wait 20-30 min before being seated. We ordered the Hangar green chile burrito with the pork, Lily's Breakfast Sandwich and French toast for the kids . Breakfast is basic but good here nothing over the top fancy just good food and great views of planes taking off and landing read more

Hanger Cafe you have quickly become one of my favorite places to have breakfast! Since moving to chandler two years ago we found this hidden gem and it has brought so much comfort and delicious food. The staff is so friendly and quick! Most recently we got Crème brûlée from France.... Let me tell you it was AMAZING! This will continue to be a breakfast staple in my household. I didn't even mention how fun it is to eat right at the airport run way and see so many planes! read more

Hanger Café is a long time family favorite. My father was an amateur pilot and an aircraft mechanic. He loved going to Chandler Airport just to watch the planes take off and land, and you can do that right from your seat at the Hanger Café (as he pointed out at every visit ). Good stick to your ribs meals are served, perfect for the clientele the restaurant attracts. Plenty of coffee, fun signs on the wall and efficient sassy waitresses that always made my dad smile. Over many years the things that keep us coming back have only become better, especially after the most recent renovation. I look forward to many more years of enjoyable meals at the Hanger Café. read more

I take a group of up to 12 seniors from a local memory care out to eat several times a month. We recently decided to give Hangar Cafe a try for lunch. My residents loved their meal here. The decor entertained them while they waited for their food and they had so much fun watching the planes come and go. I called ahead to give a heads up about the side of my group and the fact that we would be coming with a bunch of walkers and wheelchairs and they accommodated us wonderfully. The service was great and we look forward to returning again so we can try out their breakfast. read more

Food, service and ambiance. Love the diner feel and the airport location. Been going here for years and will continue to do so.

This place is so cool! It is always pretty busy but we usually get seated after 10-15min, so the wait isn't too long! This place is a good standard breakfast and lunch spot and has not disappointed me yet! I think their portions r pretty big and am always in a food coma after haha. We started off with the cinnamon roll and boy I cannot recommend this enough! It was the perfect amount of sweetness, warmth, and frosting! definitely a delicious start to our breakfast. We ordered the airport burrito and meat lovers omelet, both yummy and satisfied our brunch cravings. Both were not too salty which is a plus and had the perfect balance and ratio of gravy. read more

Fun location as it's nestled in a small airpark. Upstairs is a viewing area. Service was attentive and friendly. Food is no good. Saw a cook microwave a pancake. Lots of oil used to cook. Water has that stinky sewer water taste (IYKYK). Bus boy took our plates as we were literally chewing which was actually humorous to us. We will surely return as watching the planes land and takeoff is fun. Our son waved and gave a thumbs up and the pilots returned a wave and smile. read more

This place is tucked away by/in the Chandler airport. It's small and busy but the service was really fast. We all enjoyed our breakfast which was pretty tasty. The server seemed a bit stressed out so I will cut the service a break. Settings a little tight but it's kind of cool you can see the airplanes nearby. We would definitely recommend coming back for breakfast or lunch. read more

Small true diner style spot. Ambiance is busy, noisy and friendly with a constant flow of people coming in. There is bar seating as well as a good amount of tables and an outdoor area. As for the food, a high quality diner meal is what you're going to get. The Denver omelette has big pieces of actual cut up ham (not like the bagged cubes) and the egg was thin. I added a side of green chili and that made it amazing!! But without was still so good. Crispy Hashbrowns to top it off and I was stuffed! The husband ordered the French toast and gave me the "it's pretty good but basic" face. It's honestly delicious but next time he will be adventurous! Don't miss this spot if your looking for quality meals at a diner experience! read more

Such a cute diner right on the chandler airport runway. Absolutely perfect spot for kiddos who like watching planes and having pancakes.

The service here is excellent! I only had about 45 minutes before I had to go to class and I had just taken a tour of the Chandler air traffic control tower so my friend and I decided to grab a quick lunch here. I got the half sandwich, salad, and soup combo and my friend got the Mediterranean plate. For the soup option I got a bowl of chili which was perfect for the chilly day and my sandwich was a tuna salad. For salad, there's 4 options and I got the Greek salad. The dressing is so good! This cafe is so cool! It's right on the tarmac right next where the planes are parked and you can watch planes take off and land. There's an indoor and outdoor seating area and the servers are really fast, friendly, and efficient. Highly recommend eating here for a cool experience! read more

Located at the Chandler Airport. It's been a really long time since we have been to this place. Small parking lot located East of the restaurant. There is a small hangar near it wheee kids can walk through and see some small planes close up. It is also located near a runway so small planes are taking off and landing frequently. There frequently still seems to be a wait at peak times. All the options are good including the pancakes, omelettes, and waffles. Worth a visit especially with young kids. There also is an upper level area to wait for seats. read more
