Designed to look like a French farmhouse and filled with WWII-era decor, the ambiance offers a unique experience. Even the long drive leading to the parking lot has a nostalgic feel. Aviation enthusiasts can sit at tables equipped with headphones, which stream the radio transmissions between pilots and the nearby control tower. Sandwiches are served during lunch with homemade chips, but at night the most popular dishes are steaks. The Sweetwater 420 beer cheese soup is not to be missed as an appetizer. - Beth Dolgner

So much fun! This is a great way to spend an afternoon with kids. The food is good and comes at a great price. The restaurant is themed to WWII, so my battle obsessed son was in heaven. The building looks like a commandeered French chateau and is filled with photos, helmets, sandbagged walls- plenty of character and points of interest to keep the whole group happy. On a nice day, you can eat outside on the terrace and watch planes take off and land at the airstrip behind the property. Once you are done you can go outside to see the jeeps, trucks and planes around the property.
Great Sunday Brunch. They used to have crab legs with the brunch but I did not see them this visit. Our waitress and other staff were very obliging. Finally someone has cleaned up and remodeled the restrooms and returned the "piped in" 40s music. Definitely part of the ambiance. Glad there were no children running around!
My husband and I love going here for a nice, quiet meal. The atmosphere is classy, the food is wonderful and the staff is friendly and attentive. I am also grateful that management has the guts to ask patrons to control their kids. There's nothing worse than a permissive parent who allows their kids to run amuck and ruin everybody else's good time. If parents like Scott have a problem with that they should hire a babysitter, or take their kids to the Downwind Restaurant inside the airport instead.
