Wings Cafe is a cute aviation-themed diner at Fullerton Airport. It was nice to visit on a Monday morning to beat the weekend crowd. We had a booth that had a direct view of the planes taking off from and landing on the runway. The booth even had a makeshift flight deck that was interesting to browse. I also enjoyed how friendly the servers were with us. They were good with refilling coffee. I ordered the two large eggs (over-medium) with chicken fried steak and gravy. It was a large portion that made for an excellent breakfast. The meat was tenderized steak with breading used for fried chicken. I enjoyed the eggs as the yolks were fresh. Combined with the gravy, everything was nicely flavorful. The meal also came with toast, and I got rye bread. After feeling hungry in the morning, I was able to finish everything on my plate. read more

Wings Cafe - Two large over-medium eggs with chicken fried steak, gravy, and hash browns - Diners Near Me - Fullerton, California

One-of-a-kind experience, mid-food, very attentive service. I recently had a very fun breakfast here. Pro tip: go early so you can get a seat in the glassed-in room closest to the tarmac. The theming is fun without being kitschy and you get great views of the tarmac and runway. Taking off to the west, most planes rotate right around where the diner located along the runway. Shout out to great service -- my drink never got below halfway before being asked for a refill. The only disappointment was the food. Not because it was bad, but because it was so average and could be better. I had the french toast and some whipped or even softened butter would have gone a long way to up the game vs the rock hard foil butter packets. The french toast itself was fine, but relatively flavorless, doing something fun like making them cornflake encrusted or other niceties would have really elevated things and gotten them to a 5th star. Overall, a fun breakfast option with great service but average food that doesn't quite match the standout ambiance. read more

My wife found this hidden gem, and Ive been wanting to come and try it out. She's here often with our son and today I tagged along, This is place is awesome, we got to see the planes land and take off along with the helicopter's. And yes the food was great and did not disappoint. I ordered the bacon cheese burger and it didn't disappoint, home style flavor with thin cut fries. The best, she had country fried steak and that too did not disappoint. I think I found my new spot to come and enjoy a quick bite when I leave the office Thank you and keep up the great customer service and flavor read more

We've been wanting to try this place for years! We finally made it with the grandkid Sunday after church. The cafe itself is a small but decent size. Clean and mildly busy. The decor and the planes taking off and landing kept him observant and curious the entire time. He loved it! The tables at the windows had what looked to be mock control panel, which was cool. The food was good. I had a flavorful chorizo burrito which was larger than I expected, so I brought the other half home. My husband had a cheeseburger with fries that was tasty and my grandson had the kids pancake meal. The servers were busy but attentive. All in all, it proved to be a good choice! read more

Eggs with corned beef hash comes with dry toast. Hot coffee gets free refills and they will even pour some into your hot chocolate if you want to make it a mocha. Hotcakes are heavy compared to the fluffy French toast. The side of hash browns needs more frying time, perhaps they are understaffed. The veggie omelette has quality ingredients, but is under-seasoned (add salt to taste). read more

Been wanting to try wings cafe at Fullerton airport for years now, today is the day. Cool location on Fullerton airport close to some aircraft tie downs and not far from the runway. All glass facing the airport makes for great viewing of the activities on the field. Fantastic decor with tables made up of inverted wing sections topped with glass, lots of memorabilia including aircraft models, propellers, a mannequin dressed in a flight suit, and other knick-knacks. Seated at a table with menus to peruse. Server came back and took our drink order. Returned with our drinks and took our food orders. Food was good and came out quickly. We enjoyed the orders. Biscuit and Gravy was great, I'm picky about biscuits and gravy and most fail to impress me but this one was solid. The French toast was also very good. Bacon was crisp and flavorful. While reading about the restaurant I saw that the owners of wings cafe also own the galley on harbor island drive in Newport Beach which is another favorite of mine. I'm already looking forward to my next dining experience at wings cafe read more

Wait was 30mins or so on a Sunday afternoon. Put your name on a list. When they have the planes on display it's easy to kill time waiting. The kids had alot of fun watching planes take off. Cute control panel in the booth. Kids meals were a good size. Pancakes were decent. The chili was ok but could be better. Fries also could have been better and my kids didn't eat much. I would come back and order more breakfast options next time. Fun place for the kids. Plenty of parking. read more

The cafe itself is smaller than I thought but our family enjoyed the experience, the view, and the food. The hash browns were nice and crisp, and pancakes were buttery soft. The omelet was packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. The sandwiches were mediocre and the coleslaw was made with too much mayo. Service could have been better in that they were slow to serve and we had to remind them a few times of some of our orders. read more

I've gone to several of the regional airport cafes. This location is the best! The wall is all windows and it's directly on the runway which adds to the experience seeing planes land and takeoff while eating. The parking is easy and plentiful. This place was hopping on a Friday morning. That was nice to see. The service was great. Greeted with a warm, friendly smile. The servers were attentive, prompt and courteous. The portions large and very reasonable. The food was delicious. I had biscuit and gravy and a meat lover's omelette. Oh my!! Very flavorful. And filling!! The lobby has plenty of pictures with history of the airport as well as memorabilia throughout the restaurant. This place is fun and a tasty experience. I highly recommend it. read more

What a cool little cafe! Located in the flightine of this little airport in Fullerton. They get an A+ for theming and decor--from the runway lights on the floor to tables made of airplane wings, it's pretty awesome. The menu is standard. They have omelets and happens and all the normal breakfast items, salads, soup, and sandwiches. We ordered a couple of tuna melts, tomato bisque, and a party melt with fries, and a mimosa. Everything was really good. The fries are clearly fresh cut from fresh potatoes, not frozen. I loved that when I asked the server if the tuna had pickles in it (blechhh), he said "we can make your tuna any way you want." It ended up being the best tuna melt I've ever had! He was such a nice guy and good server. Definitely recommend this cool little place. Spend some time looking at all the plane and military memorabilia! read more

We walked in to one of our favorite cafes and were greeted warmly. When we sat down at our awesome window seat we could see the planes and all of the activity happening on the tarmac. With the busy lunch rush we waited a bit before our order was taken but then it arrived in a timely manner. The pastrami sandwich and grilled cheese and soup were delicious but the chili fries were seemingly a bit small and/or soggy for the amount of chili and cheese that was on it. No problem, their cheeseburger and chicken sandwich were tasty. Maybe steak fries would work for the chili. Oh well. It's still one of our favorite places. Thank you Wings. read more

We were in the Fullerton area and it was highly recommended to check out this breakfast place. The decor is very cool and it's located literally on the airport. It reminded me a lot of Flo's and the Chino airport. There are tables that are literally made out of parts from the airplane, which is pretty cool. For two pancakes, sausage and an egg and an iced tea I paid $27. The flavor of the food was good but what I paid for versus the portion seemed a little off. I always love supporting local businesses and will definitely give it a second try but if I was bringing my entire family here that would be a very expensive bill to leave still hungry. read more

After my weekly Fullerton Water-tower hike, I wanted to grab a mimosa and breakfast To celebrate my "A" on my Microeconomics midterm last night So, why am I just finding this hidden gem, after 7 years of coming to this trail?! One of the many reasons I love The OC - great good spots all over! So I love airplanes and this is a little cafe at the Municipal Airport in Fullerton. Nothing fancy! It's a small location on CommerceBlvd. Lots of nature light, couple CC TVs, and seats about 75 people total. They have $1.99 mimosas M-F. I had chili cheese hash browns. Yum. Typical Diner Style fare... sandwiches, soup of rye day, breakfast and a few dinner items. They severe beer and wine and every seat has a view of plans landing and taking off. The service was kind and helpful. Nice place to come and enjoy your time and enjoy some comfort food. Thank you Wings! read more

Wings Cafe - Best classic breakfast, burger patty and eggs with hash browns - Diners Near Me - Fullerton, California

Located right at the Fullerton airport. It was a windy day so unfortunately we didnt see too many planes taking off, but we did see a few! We were seated right away. Coffee was ok, I probably wouldn't get it again there. I ordered a stack of pancakes and those were delicious. Large and fluffy! My mom ordered a Denver omelet with crispy bacon inside and for her side got the hash browns. The omelet was cooked perfectly and the hash browns were so buttery! My husband got the chicken fried steak and hash browns and he enjoyed them. We definitely plan to come back as our little one loves planes and the food was good! read more

First time here and was a great time! My 5 year old loves planes and came here for lunch! We came here on a Sunday at 11:30 and we had to wait about one hour because there were seven of us. They only have one table that's large enough to accommodate 6 plus small table next to it to sit three more. So we had to wait. But the cool thing is they have a little patio that you can go and sit and watch the planes takeoff and come in, but unfortunately because it was a windy day, we only saw 2 to 3 planes. So if you do plan to go make sure it's not a rainy day or a windy day because they won't be flying on those days. But it was still really cool and we had a great time just watching the 2 to 3 planes that did come and go. Once we got seated, it was a pretty cool ambience. We did not get one of the window seats which have like little buttons and things like an airplane, but those only fit I think 2 to 4 people. But our table was pretty nice and we were still able to see the window and see the planes parked. They have a pretty nice breakfast menu, but we came for lunch and choices good. Salads, sandwiches, burgers and hot dogs mostly kids menu: they get to choose a main entrée aside and a drink for $7.99 My son ordered the pancakes (comes with one large one and two small stacks), French fries, and drink I have to say the fries were very bad. Not tasty at all, and there was no crispiness to it so don't order the fries. I ordered the combination salad, which is the Albuquerque tuna, egg, salad, and cottage cheese. It was really good and very filling lots of protein! My husband got the club sandwich and he said it was excellent! But again he said the fries were not good Would definitely come back to this place and check out maybe one of the small tables by the window and come on a day where there's more planes flying. Overall, it was a great experience and my son enjoyed it! read more

I was super excited to take my son here because he loves planes. We waited only 10 minutes and they sat us right at the window so he could see the planes. They weren't very busy and forgot to bring us menus and it took a while to place our order. they were not very busy. Everyone was super nice though. The restaurant was clean and welcoming. The food is where it went wrong. I had an omelette and it was the absolute worst omelette I've ever had, all the ingredients added to the omelette were literally tossed in there uncooked . The food in general was pretty bleh. My husband had the corn beef hash and he said the same thing if they could get the food down, it would be such a great place. read more

My kids favorite place to have breakfast!!! 5/5 for the view of the planes taking off and landing! The food is pretty basic. Basic diner breakfast, so don't go if you have high expectations for amazing breakfast food. This place is fun for kids and the food is decent. We have only ever gone early on the weekend and had no wait. There is very limited seating inside, so expect a wait if you go during prime time. We will continue to visit again and again! Also, tip, follow them on Instagram for any events and specials!! read more

Wings Cafe - You get a great view, even if not seated against the front window! - Diners Near Me - Fullerton, California

This place was a nice little experience with our children. We enjoyed seeing the airplanes and helicopter take off and land. As a family of 6, we knew it might take a while to be seated. The wait was a bit but it was understandable as there were a few groups ahead of us. The food was surprisingly very good. The service though was not that great. What I mean by that is the waiter takes your orders in and they only come back to drop off your food and let you eat and then bam the check. I would have liked to have ordered my kids extra drinks and been able to request extra napkins since they only provided one tiny napkin per person as well as ordered extra hash browns or toast etc. The pricing was similar in comparison to other diners but I would have liked to have the option to tip or not tip based on the service provided. They add their own tip for a larger party for us it was $30 It was a nice one-time experience but that's pretty much it. read more

I was in the area on a small family vacation. Being that I have a little one, I figured this would be a pretty cool place to check out. The café is kind of on the outskirts of Fullerton. Not too far from the freeway, which was nice. Upon arrival they have you sign in on a sheet that asked for the size of your party and whether or not you would like to wait for a window seat or just the next available seat. The wait was probably about 25 minutes. Being that our group was four adults and three little ones under two, we were able to be seated at a larger table with a nice view of the airstrip. The food was honestly just OK. It was definitely nothing special. The portions were pretty typical. I didn't wanna know that groups larger than six have an automatic 20% gratuity added to their bill. The service itself was just OK. I don't know if I would've chose to tip 20%. But it is what it is. read more

Good food. Good service. Good value. Fun place to eat and watch aircraft take off and land.

Saw this place on instagram. Since im always going to Disney & look for new fun places to eat before I get to Disneyland. I decided to try this place. This place is amazing. You can actually see the place taking off & landing. It's decorate on point. The tables have an activity board perfect to keep kids busy while waiting for the food. The food is amazing cooked to perfection. The 1.99 mimosas are perfect. It's reasonably price. The reason I took of a star, because I'm not sure if they were understaff but I waited a good 20min for a table when you could clearly see there were plenty of tables available as I was waiting two more parties came & they had them wait as well. When I finally got seat the server was not to friendly she never checked up on us never asked me if I wanted a refill on my coffee I actually I had to wave her down a few times. The times she would acknowledge me, she would take her sweet time coming over to my table. I wish I would have gotten her name. Girl if you are working as a serve you need to be more friendly smile more. Would I recommend this place yes but hope you don't get the same server as I did. Because honestly this place is amazing. I'm not sure if I would come back. Service needs to improve in order for me to go back. read more

Wings Cafe - Ham,Jalapeño and blue cheese omelette with tomato slices. - Diners Near Me - Fullerton, California

Pretty good breakfast spot with a good view. We had an omelette with turkey sausage and hash browns and steak and eggs with hash browns as well. The hash browns are good and soft just how we like them. The steak was over cooked however still was good I was surprised because breakfast places typically have chewy steaks. The waffle was good as well a perfect amount of sweet. Wonderful views of the planes landing and taking off. A great spot for a quick breakfast and some entertainment watching the planes. read more

Ambiance - typical diner style with one section that has glass windows, to watch the airplanes. This area was hotter than inside along with crying kids, so sat inside. Service- was good, they sat me down quickly and took my order but it wasn't a busy time of day. Food- I ordered soup and 1/2 sandwich, I burned my mouth on the soup! Way too hot to serve and and for the sandwich I ordered a turkey melt, the sandwich consisted of very nice sourdough bread with only 1 slice of turkey and 1/2 slice of cheese, not a good value. Be aware some of the online prices don't match the menu prices read more

I've been here a few times now, and every visit has been an amazing experience. The staff is always super friendly, and the food is beyond delicious and the view of the planes are great. My partner usually dislikes eggs at dine-in restaurants, but he loves how they're made here! I usually go for the French toast combo and he gets the hotcakes--it's a simple order, but they get it perfect every time. The food is consistently great, the portions are generous, and their cinnamon roll is a solid 10/10--one of the best I've ever had! My only complaint is that I wish they stayed open a little later, but overall I can't recommend this place enough. read more

Food was still pretty good, but I think I'm done It felt like I was speaking a different language today, had to ask for everything but the check 2 or 3 times I get it if a place is slammed but it was pretty empty this morning too, at one point they just took my coffee cup? Usually anywhere they'd atleast ask if not just fill it back up Also had to ask for our toast? I liked this place but after today I'm just done read more

This was my first time visiting your restaurant for breakfast with three friends. We all ordered the country fried steak, which was really good and something we enjoyed. Unfortunately, the experience was overshadowed at the end due to poor service from one of the waitresses. When she came to pick up our plates, she was rude and told us we had to leave because there was a large party coming in. At the time, there was no one waiting in the lobby, which made the interaction feel unnecessary and uncomfortable. Because of this experience, we will not be returning and will choose to spend our money elsewhere. I wanted to share this feedback so you are aware of how service issues can impact customers, even when the food itself is good. Thank you for your time. read more
