“ We love the airport as locals it's just a staple and hometown ambiance. Love the employees and the owners! ”
“ Awesome restaurant! Went to get the mushrooms, but they were out this time. Tried the basket of onion. Which were also great. Had the fried mush because you can't get it at most places. Have had the giant tenderloin and mushrooms and breakfast before , all exceptionally great!! ”
“ I've been here several times food is always good and you never leave hungry wait staff is very friendly and attentive . ”
“ Decent food. Not mind-blowing but good and very reasonably priced. I had the hand cut breaded mushrooms and the elephant ear tenderloin, the two things they claim to be known for. Both were good. I have had better mushrooms, but they were solid. The tenderloin was so huge, some bites were great others were merely ok. Fun atmosphere with airplanes hung from the ceiling. Very small, not private at all. Very friendly staff who answered questions and chatted a bit. I'd go back if I'm in the area and try some other menu items. ”
“ Best place to get delicious affordable food! With a friendly environment, great service! And the best breakfast around! If you get anything, the biscuits and gravy are where it's at! But you best be in before 11, they're bacon slams, and you get to enjoy planes all around, even see some taking off! I love this place and always have! (Ignore the 1 star review anything below a 5 is not worth reading!!!!) ”
“ This is one of my favorite places to go out to eat! The environment is everything, my kids love to sit and watch the airplanes through the restaurant windows. And the food is amazing, huge portions and cheap prices! The fried mushrooms are the best. ”
“ Breakfast all day! Good food and service. Daily lunch specials. Healthy options plus all of the fried goodness you can stand! Did I mention the pies? Hand cut and breaded mushrooms. Located right on the airport tarmac, watch the planes come and go. I'll be back! ”
“ I generally don't give 5 stars, but this place is an exception. We both had the tenderloin with a shared basket of onion rings. After that, we washed it all down with pie. All the food was quite good and the service/hospitality was great. Others have complained about the decor and other supposed issues at Airport Steakhouse, but I'll have none of that. This place is straight-forward hospitality with good food, period. ”
