Airport Cafe Reviews

Rating: 3 out of 5.

The great thing about GAI is just how busy it is. I love to see a healthy airport. On a January morning, I had to park in line for avgas! This little airport restaurant, which is tucked into a corner of the FBO, has decent views and was packed with people on the day of our visit. Service was quite slow, the food was average, and the ambiance minimal, but the people were very nice. If you are flying in VFR, remember this airport is inside the SFRA!

Open for breakfast and lunch. Standard breakfast fare with Starbucks coffee. Lunch menu is burgers, subs, gyros, etc. Very friendly atmosphere. Great deck to sit on with umbrellas to watch the traffic. It gets busy on weekends especially on nice days.
