God awful food! As a pilot/aircraft owner, I SOOOO wanted to like, actually, I wanted to love this place, but the food was absolutely horrible. The best quote of the night was when the waitress noticed we didn't eat our meals, she offered to remove a portion from our check. She said, "We do it all the time, lots of people don't like our food"...well, at least she's honest.

Food's expensive, but the ambiance is worth it. Pretty high class place, there's even viewing windows into one of the hangars so we could look in and see the biplanes they had in there. Friends thought the menu was pretty cool, since it had their biplanes for sale on it just below the salmon. Not sure if you could actually order a plane from the waitstaff, but it was nice to see they kicked in a free dinner with purchase of a $480k aircraft haha.

This is my favorite fly-in by far... Super nice atmosphere and great food. Lots of parking on the ramp right outside the restaurant.

This is a placeholder review for a new restaurant at BTL, WACO Kitchen. Here's a note from their Marketing team:

WACO Aircraft manufactures brand new open-cockpit biplanes and recently completed an expansion project that quadrupled the square-footage at the headquarters in Battle Creek, MI (KBTL). Included in the expansion is a brand new restaurant, WACO Kitchen (wacokitchen.com).
