This place is a hidden gem for most people in the Brainerd Lakes area. It is attached to the airport (excellent spot to grab something before or to take onto your flight) with tons of free parking. It looks like an updated diner with big windows that let you watch the airfield. The food is mostly scratch cooking with homemade breads, cinnamon rolls, and desserts. Think classic breakfast and lunch foods that taste homemade for fair prices. I love their egg dishes, corned beef (house made) hash, and their French toast (sometimes made from caramel rolls), and the local Manoomin porridge (thing amazing oatmeal merges with granola.)For lunch, think traditional sandwiches and burgers (which are way above average). For dinner things like meatloaf but also Walleye ans BBQ Ribs which both are supposed to be good (that's second hand info, since I haven't been there for dinner yet. )Classic and friendly service and fair prices (particularly for an airport or the whole Brainerd area). Eat here if you are flying or even if you're not.

Excellent food at an airport?! YES, but you have to go to Brainerd! All four of us had an excellent breakfast-from Walleye Benedict, Omelet, Eggs, and my fav of all time: MANOOMIN! It's a hot wild rice porridge that is wonderfully delish! This is a great cafe (from the food to the service) and we can watch airplanes & choppers on the active runway. I made the mistake of ordering the S'mores dessert-it was so rich & filling that I had to force my friends into helping me finish it-perfect with a hot coffee!One other thing-it's really an inexpensive meal-at an airport! Locals come here to eat-even when they are not flying out....

This is the first time I've been here in several years. We flew in to visit friends and we all had breakfast together. Everyone totally enjoyed their food. I would recommend the walleye eggs Benedict. Good tasting piece of fish to add to the dish. Good portions of hash browns also. Great place inside the airport terminal.

Wonderful to have good food at an airport. Menu has TONS of options, with breakfast available all the time, and a nice selection of lunch options to top it off. I got the turkey melt and coleslaw. I recommend both, but I really thought the coleslaw was unique, creamy, and delicious. The bread on the sandwich was fantastic, and when I asked for bread options I had her stop around number 6, so there is definitely something for everyone.I sat at the counter and service was good, and the food came out extremely fast and was piping hot (as apporpriate), and very fresh tasting.If you happen to be flying a private plane into the FBO next door, you also get a discount on your fuel purchase if you eat at the restaurant. My discount pretty much covered my meal, so that was a big bonus!

We found out about this place at a jewelry class run by Tiffany at Peace and Pottery (check out her business - she rocks!) Obviously, as a city slicker, I was skeptical about an airport restaurant but Wings quickly changed my mind (Plus one of my favorite shows was Wings back in the day). Everyone loved it. I had breakfast - the kielbasa was splendid but the highlight was the caramel roll. Run don't walk to go and try it. There's no way I can replicate that at home. Our friends had the shepherds pie and loved it. The blueberry pancakes were a hit, too. Another great spot in Brainerd!!

Food isn't flavorful, menus are huge, smaller seating area with the new remodel, favorite waitress/co-owner is no longer there so it's lost all appeal to me.

Always fresh good. Love their Rubens and I love their caramel rolls. They also have great breads you can buy by the loaf.

Pleasant diner atmosphere with a nice view of the planes. Unfortunately the tables were unclean and there was food on the floor. Waitress was only there to take the order. Food was served by the cook. I have had lunch there twice and both times the food was good but the lack of cleanliness concerns me.

Very nostalgic but appears newly remodeled and everything was very clean. I was shocked to see a full service restaurant in such a small airport. They have a dining counter and several tables. My flight was at 600 am so it was great to have a spot to sit and grab a fast breakfast. The service was great and food was better than any airport food I have had and is good as an old fashioned small town cafe. I would stop again and grab a meal or snack.
