We didn’t have great expectations for The Airplane Restaurant, thinking that they would rely on drawing customers in with the airplane and serve low-quality and overpriced food. We were pleasantly surprised that was NOT the case here. We had nachos, a burger (one of our teens claimed this was her second favorite restaurant burger), and mozzarella sticks and all were good. Plenty of food for a family of 4 that included 2 hungry teens. Sweet potato fries were crispy, sweet, and delicious. The nachos were served with slices or fresh jalapeños. Only complaint is the side of guacamole (offered with an up charge) is very small, with lots of tomato filler. Not really worth it. Wait times can get long to sit on the plane. Even “the terminal” can get busy. The walls are filled with memorabilia to keep anyone entertained and occupied during a wait. The hosts even offer a mini tour while seating your group, pointing out some of the highlights of the plane’s history. Definitely recommend, especial
Unique and cool experience! Airplane stuff EVERYWHERE! If you’re a fan of planes, this is your place to be. The fish and chips were good and the broccoli cheddar soup Witt the Philly Flyer was good also. Slightly overpriced but that’s because you’re paying for an experience. You literally are eating inside the heart of an old tanker aircraft! Military squadron patches and airplane models everywhere, walls are covered with plane memorabilia. Stuff to see everywhere, I’m not sure you’d be able to possibly see it all. Almost feels like a mini museum. It’s obvious this restaurant was a labor of love and as we left the owner talked to us for quite awhile. He clearly loves the place. Business is still struggling to come fully back since COVID so give it a try!
If you are an aviation person then this place is for you. Tons of memorabilia adorn just about every square foot of the restaurant. It's a KC 97 converted. Service was good but currently staff shortage made a minor wait ( typical everywhere these days). Food was good too. You can eat in the plane or there is a large eating area outside the plane. Owner is on premises and made sure everything was OK as far as our food and service. Seemed like a nice guy too. It's unique so give it a try.
