On airport dining places with view of the runway are becoming fewer and fewer. Always a treat to discover one that’s still operating. Stopped by for lunch on a rainy Saturday. The service and plane-viewing were excellent. The menu has something for everyone and I went with the cheeseburger and fries. No rush and place was busy. Locals mostly. Only suggestion is to have a much larger and bolder outdoor sign. The former terminal is a neat throwback to the sky king era and a walk thru the new terminal is worth it.

If you're a pilot for just into aircraft and flying, thisplaceisforyou. Located in the original Prescott airort terminal, location maybe somewhat difficilt to locate due to poor signage. Once inside and in the main dining room. You are surrounded by aircraft and flying memorabilia. Signs. Posters, artwork and numerous models aircraft haging from the ceiling.

We dropped a friend off at the airport and couldn't believe the old airport restaurant was still operating. Had never been in and gave it a try. Yes the building is dated, but omg the service is stellar and I tried to order something from a Google review photo that apparently wasn't even from their business apparently. Courtney being the badass she is looked at the photo and said no problem we can make that. And did they ever! So tasty and quick & if you can time your visit right you get to see the planes taking off on the runway right in front of you. Would be fun to take kiddos if they love planes too. The place was really busy considering how remote the location seems so they have a very well established local following. Come check out out!
