Still the best food. The servings are huge. I enjoy this cafe. I have been going to the Santa Paula Airport and cafe since I was a child. The atmosphere is relaxing and enjoyable. It is a pleasure to watch the planes take off and land. I grew up in a home based around flight and grew up flying. I had the corned beef hash, hashbrowns, scrambled eggs topped with cheddar cheese, and a biscuit with a side of country gravy. There was no way I could finish my food (too full). The corned beef was perfectly crispy on the outside. Absolutely perfect. The hashbrowns were the perfect texture. The biscuit was great with the gravy... everyone else in my party enjoyed their food. The only complaint that I have is... the service was extremely slow. I believe that they were short staffed. The staff was extremely friendly. We will be back. Thank you for a wonderful time.

Nice little cafe! Where else can you eat a sandwich with a cup of coffee while watching planes land and take off? Feel free to walk around the pla es too! Very cool little spot.

Good old American diner breakfast. Great service and the atmosphere was quite and relaxing. There's tables outside where you can view the beautiful mountains and planes landing and taking off.

Wonderful place to have breakfast or lunch - beautiful location close to the foothills - there was quite a bit of activity on the tarmac while we were enjoying our breakfast - even got entertained by a WW2 airplane. Food and service were great - definitely will go back in the near future

We stopped in for breakfast and didn’t have much time. We both ordered the breakfast burritos and they came out fast and were amazing. The server was so nice and took good care of us! It’s right at the airport with great view of the airplanes. Our favorite spot to eat in Santa Paula!

One of the few restaurants one can fly their private plane to the front door. I had the chille verde omlet and it was excellent. The portions are generous and the service friendly.

Very nice burger and onion rings with relaxing atmosphere. It's enjoyable watching the small planes, especially on 1st Sunday of every month. The service is great and the prices are reasonable. Highly recommended.
