"A fun and unique place with good food and great service! Stopped in early on a weekday and got treated to a booth in the plane with no wait time. The gentleman who sat me told me the history of the restaurant as we walked through the large dinning room (big enough to fit a plane wing in) past the bar, and up the steps into the cabin. The servers were both friendly and helpful. They suggested some great food and drinks and were happy to chat with myself and some of the guests as we waited on the food. Many of the people working in the restaurant are former military. The pricing was about average for a sit down restaurant around this area and the quality was similar as well. What really stood out were the fries. They were potatoes wedges cut thin and fried perfectly. The only downside was getting undercooked meat. I've gone back a few times and each time my order comes out a little more rare than I ordered it. If you're a picky person just order one stage up from normal. Seems to produce the best results. Another thing that made the wait time go quickly was a visit to the pilot's seat. They encourage guests to visit the front of the plane and sit in the pilot's seat. It was a very fun time and made waiting with younger ones much easier. All around a fun and unique experience that's worth visiting while in Colorado Springs."

Not the best burger, bison/buffalo or beef. But the Büffelburger was good. I liked the atmosphere, solid veterinarian owned and operated business, honor all those who have and serve. Location near the airport is nice, food in the hull of the tanker was fun, very child, or playful adults, friendly.

What a funny idea for a restaurant. We're on the plane to get the full experience. The host and seat were somewhat delayed. But he took us through a beautiful story and some stories to sit on the way. The dishes were hearty and delicious. The Pommes were one of the best parts of the meal. The service was a little slow, but thorough. A great experience to have at least once and would be a fun place to take children. We went during the week without reservation. View menu

If you are an aviation person, this place is for you. Tons of memorabilia decorate around every square foot of the restaurant. A KC 97 is converted. Service was good, but currently staff shortage made a smaller waiting typical everywhere these days. The food was good. You can eat on a plane or there is a large dining area outside the plane. The owner is on the grounds and ensured that everything was fine until our food and service. I also saw a nice guy. It's unique, so try it.

This is my second time at lunch in this airplane restaurant, but it is the first for my wife and children. We came here on a very snowstorm day and fortunately we didn't have to wait. We sat right away. The dishes are delicious and the environment is great. Our children played in the cockpit of this KC-97 tanker. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone if you want to experience something else. The flight attendant (server) is friendly. All in all, this is a good place for lunch. I'll be back.
