“ Such a fun place for lunch!!! You can sit feet from the runway and watch planes take off and land. If lucky, you can see skydivers jump. Price are very reasonable and portion are Huge. ”
“ A cozy spot next to the landing strip at the airport with great service and food that was better than expected. Get the pretzel appetizer!!! It was crazy good. Our group of 7 had a great lunch here on a Saturday in May 2023, We were seated quickly and the service was great throughout. We all had plenty to eat with some leftovers to take home as well - you could likely share an entree here and be fine. I really enjoyed my French Dip sandwich. The bread was soft, not too crunchy like at other places. In addition to the food and service, the atmosphere is fun, especially outdoors. The bar was hopping and we all enjoyed watching the planes take off and the skydivers come in to land - how cool is that?!?! ”
“ We love the Airport Restaurant! Nice outdoor area. Wish they had draft beer. But they have bucket specials. The Stacker Burger is the BEST burger in Deland. ”
“ Cool little spot right on the airfield. We ordered fried pickles, pretzels, and nachos to start. Nachos were not the best and soggy, but the pickles were good and the pretzels were absolutely the best we had ever had. We ordered burgers and wings that were also excellent. When we mentioned the issues we had the staff was awesome and resolved the concerns we had in a friendly and professional manner. At 7PM a band started playing and made for a great atmosphere to enjoy dinner. Highly recommended ”
