Ive been here many times. The food is good, but it would be nice to see more variety in the menu. Never had an issue with service, but the part that could use the most work is the interior. Theres a lot of potential for a restaurant like Aviators Grill. Better views (full windows overlooking the airport and/or elevated floor) and an interior update would be nice to see. Maybe see about getting a liquor license?

We always enjoy coming here to get some hearty breakfasts and to watch the planes. The lunches are yummy also. Its nothing fancy but its comfort food and very kid friendly, with booster seats and high chairs available. Parking: It can be a bit of a tight squeeze to maneuver around if its busy but usually its not a problem. Kid-friendliness: Booster seats and high chairs available, plus a kids menu.

Lunch was very delicious. The Burgers of Grilled Onions were delightful and the Monterey Burger that has a Pico de Gallo ingredients with monterey cheese was my top pick. Fries were indeed a bit plain, more salt would given them a better flavor. The Buns on both burgers are very very delicious, not your average bun. They have options for 1/2 lb burger which i think for heavy eaters is great, a little to much for me. The 1/3 was more than enough considering the size of the burger. Overall great restaurant for lunch.

Such a nice place to enjoy a delicious lunch while watching the planes and jets take off. I had the Swiss Mushroom burger, which tasted amazing! The onion rings were crisped just right, not to mention everything is home made even the ranch. It s always nice to know your meal is fresh and not frozen. I also enjoyed the home made pudding! It wad freshly made when i arrived in the morning. I definitely recommend the place, the customer service is wonderful with very friendly staff.

The food is average. There is a dead spot between breakfast and lunch from 10:30 to 11:00 where they wont serve anything but will take orders. However, theres a really neat view of the runways at Tomball Hooks Airport, which makes up for the food. The decor and pictures inside are also really neat. That said, their burgers are pretty solid and come with an especially good bun.

This place has tremendous potential. The location is amazing. You can watch airplanes take off and land so it is great for families with kids. The food is disappointing at bed. Burgers are made with frozen beef. patties are often overcooked resulting in thin hockey puck looking things. It has been repainted inside so the old wall art, which added nostalgia to the place, is gone.
