Stearman Field Bar & Grill

Good diverse menu. A little bit pricey for what you get. Fun atmosphere and good service. We have yet to eat here in the day, so we haven't been able to watch the airplanes. We've only enjoyed the food.I don't know if on our first visit the cook was sick, but the chicken and the chicken nachos and on the chicken salad was tough and chewy and completely unflavored. On our second visit, we fared much better.The foods that seemed the most appreciated or the Reuben sandwich, the onion rings, the chicken sandwich, and the hand breaded chicken tenders.

So the vibe here is super cool. They had live music playing when we went. Unfortunately, their kitchen was struggling that night. I didn't end up eating because one steak was well done, the next was rare, the cheesy fries were cold the first round, then over fried to make them like rocks. The manager was polite and apologetic, he definitely seemed overwhelmed. I'll give them another shot down the road but it'll be a while.

Best Ruben sandwich in all of Wichita! I've tried many and this beats them all. Very busy place but service was great.

Let me start with this... last night was the first time we had been to Stearman Field Bar & Grill in 3 years.The first time we went, the food and service was so poor, we said we wouldn't be back.Well, we thought that we would give it another go. BIG MISTAKE!The atmosphere is great! It's nice to sit in the restaurant and watch the airplanes come and go. But that's all that they have... atmosphere.My wife and I had a free appetizer card from our last experience. We asked the waitress what she recommended. Artichoke dip and chips (price $8.00).When it came out, it was literally a spoonful of dip, burned to the side of the cup they serve it in. The manager saw us trying to scrape the dip off the side with our chips. He offered to swap it for queso and salsa. He brought us salsa, no queso. I mentioned it to the waitress and she said she would take care of it. 10 minutes later we had a bowl of microwaved white, flavorless queso.I didn't say anything else, because it was free (no, I didn't eat it).I ordered the chicken fried steak sandwich, no mayo with a little gravy on the side and ranch with crispy fries ($13 +).My wife ordered an individual pepperoni pizza ($8+).Sandwich came out, no toppings (lettuce, tomatoes, onions and pickles. I didn't want cheese on it). They took a regular chicken fried steak and cut in half. The crust was mushy and coming off the steak. Fries cold and limp.My wife's pepperoni pizza looked like a frozen pizza with burnt crust.I was able to get the attention of another server and he said he would take care of it. 15 minutes later, the manager came out with my sandwich and said he put everything on it (including the cheese and mayo I didn't want). Fries were still cold.The meat on the bun was the same meat sent back 15 minutes earlier.I ended up eating half the sandwich and no fries. My wife ate 2 slices on her 6" pizza. We were done.Received the bill and paid, even for the giant bowl of gravy and 1oz cup of ranch.This time we decided that no matter what, we will not be back.Go to Stearman's for a beer and airplanes. Stay away from the food.

My husband and I flew our plane in today for lunch. Great little airport and incredible food. What was even better though, our plane ended up with a dead battery and we ended up having to wait for help to arrive to fix the battery. It was a very hot day, so we came and sat back inside the restaurant.they kept bringing us water and ice and helping us anyway we needed. They went out of their way to be kind to us.

Highly overrated. Boneless wings were the size of a quarter, ranch dressing was so watered down. Martinis were meh. Aside from the planes, and out door area I would rate them a 1 star.

This place was just what we needed on our cross country road trip. After sitting in the car for long periods the last thing our twins want to do is sit down for a meal. Stearman Felid Bar & Grill has a playground for the kids. Unfortunately it was a little muddy when we went but still worth it. it's also on a small airfield so you can watch the planes take off and land. They had some decent happy hour food specials as well. My husband and I enjoyed a beer while the kids played. Food was decent, wish there were more non chain restaurants with play areas.

A fun place for a meal. The restaurant is just off the runway of the small Benton airport. Outdoor seating for great views of the runway in warmer weather. The food is decent but rather average. Service was very good.

We loved the airport environment, the awesome food, the staff was amazing. The manager came over and introduced himself. Our server, bartender Lilly made it an exceptional experience. We wish we lived closer so we'd be regular. But we'll definitely be back!

Such a great experience at Stearman! The food is great, the atmosphere is great and the waitresses (Emma) are great too! My littles had so much fun watching the airplanes and playing on the playground!
