Aviator's

I've had a couple trips to Aviators since my original review, so time to update. First the ambiance will never change! It's a divey diner with airplane motif (of course) that is retro without trying to be retro. The view of the airstrip is fun (although airplane traffic was slow on our most recent visit), but what brings people in, is the affordable breakfast/lunch menu. If you can still get a good meal with good portions for under $20, you're winning! We brought a newbie friend because we were talking about (the closed) Harry's loco moco and remembered that Aviator's serves one of the best in town! You won't find it on the menu, but they have it. We arrived around 11am on Sunday and the dining room was full. We waited about 10 minutes and were seated at a table with a view in the main dining room. There is a room without a view, if you're not interested in natural light or planes, and never a wait. Our server didn't seem the most welcoming at first, but she did her job, just with a little attitude from possibly being overworked or short-staffed. I get it. She took our order of 3 loco mocos and came back a few minutes later saying they were out of hamburger meat/patties. NOOOOOO! She offered I could still get fried rice and add Spam or Chinese sausage to it. I added Spam thinking it was a side of Spam, but it ended up being bits of Spam added to the fried rice. That was fine. Their fried rice is bomb and it's a huge plate! I was very satisfied with my fried rice, 2 eggs, and several cups of strong coffee. My husband loved his steak and eggs with potatoes. He said the steak was as good as Cattlemens! It was juicy and tender and cooked medium-well, how he ordered it. Not quite Cattlemens to me, but for $18, it was good quality and a great deal. The biscuits were soft and not dry at all. Pancake was fluffy. Overall, a very good breakfast and a bargain these (inflated pricing) days.Don't sleep on Aviators. Great place to bring kids and your out-of-town peeps for some real life retro vibes.

I really wanted to like it here... but we couldn't get in. We waited in the increasing long queue to be seated, with no host. The place was only about 1/3 full, and after 15 mins finally I sought out a server to ask if we could get seated. She said no, because the kitchen was backed up. I said it would be nice if someone could at least tell the folks waiting what was going on. The response was equivalent to a Shrug. So my party & others left.Loved the old divey vintage vibe, but the lack of communication and friendliness, and inability to cope with a normal amount of traffic was off-putting.

Just recently attended a retirement party for a coworker here. We had something like 80 people in attendance. The restaurant facilities accommodated our group nicely.We had 2 different entrees, salad bar, and some very nicely prepared asparagus spears. The tender roast beef and the creamy chicken tip with fettuccini noodles tasted very good.I love the aviation-centered decor. It felt very comfortable and cozy here.Aviator's offers a lot more for large group gathers than a lot of other options around. Many of those other meeting spaces are boxy and sterile-feeling. This restaurant. has a lot of "cozy quotient" going on.

We were there this past Saturday around 10:30am. It was rainy and foggy out. I think that led to the small crowd there, thus they had a sign out to seat yourself. We were on the go so we got a tea to go. We ended up drinking it in the Executive Airport. I love this place. They have a huge variety of food and great service. I love that you can watch the planes take off and land from the dining area.

For 2025, we've decided to visit one local diner/breakfast spot a month. Aviator's was our first stop, in January. We stopped in on a Sunday morning. Service was quick. The downsides were that we never got a coffee refill, and there really aren't many choices if you don't eat meat. It sure is fun to sit and watch the planes, though.

This place has a very charming vibe to it. I really enjoy seeing the planes flying around. At the moment they are doing break and lunch only . Closes at 2:30. As you walk in and you seat yourself . Easy to read menu . Secret menu has the fried rice . The best fried rice !!!!! That's all I eat at this restaurant. Comes with two eggs . Low prices and good quality food . Good service. I recommend this place.

Great spot for some classic breakfast. This place is in the executive airport and is a staple in this neighborhood, so iykuk. The place is usually busy, especially on weekends, but I never had to wait. The service is nice and friendly, there are only 2 servers so they work really hard and do a good job. They have a straightforward menu but the one thing I recommend are the pancakes. These are delicious and could be the best in town and are a must. The omelets, skillets, and steak and eggs are all worth the price as this place is pretty reasonable. The pro tip that is not on the menu is the loco moco. You can get this hawaiian breakfast served with eggs, upgrade to fried rice, gravy, and a thick hamburger patty, which is delicious. This meal is a real treat! If you are looking for lunch options, my go-to is the burger as they use the same patty in the loco moco, and its pretty big. With great options, everything I have had has been very satisfying. If you love planes, and a classic diner feel, you will love Aviators!

I just was there two weeks ago during the week and the service and the food were great. Today is Saturday.ServiceI asked for hot syrup, waitress said we don't have that. Put some in cup and nuke for 10 seconds.My water was never refilled. Is there a water shortage?My wife did not like roast beef sandwich, she ordered a club sandwich instead, waitress asked if we wanted it to go, we had to make it clear that we were not going to pay for roast beef, I believe there was a language problem and asked for manager, waitress eventually modified the bill.Rating 1Eggs, bacon and French toast breakfast , cold syrup.Rate 4Roast Beef SandwichSalt bomb.Rate 2Club Sandwich Just okRate 3

So one of my friends told me to come here and support the owner if I could. I guess a few months ago he was going to lose his lease and hundreds of people came out to support him and the lease was renewed. This restaurant is inside the Executive Airport. It is like a museum of aviation. It has large model airplanes hanging from their ceilings. So nice looking and different. I took my buddy who was a pilot who said that this used to be a Red Baron steak house and it was the bomb in the 70's. Been through a few owners and the current one has been here for a long time. The place had a lot of people in it for breakfast time. It seems to be a meeting place for a lot of Asians. There was a men's group hanging out in the middle when I visited. They have a small seniors menu so I guess it's a good deal too. I got the meat lovers omelet and a waffle. the bacon was over cooked for me and was kind of hard. The waffle was good. The food is just ok. I don't think it's anything really mind blowing. Just decent. As for the ambiance they have that going for them. Who doesn't like watching planes at an airport. Be that it's a slow airport the view is nice. The model airplanes are really cook to see. They have a cockpit hanging over the salad bar. Pretty cool. I agree with the old guys . this is a nice place to hang out. The staff are really friendly and food is ok.

Always great hearty breakie every time I go here. Great service and friendly atmosphere.
