We weren’t sure this place was even open as the reviews were so old, but wanted to try something new… We only had a couple drinks and a snack (tots, lol… huge basket, super cheap! And cheap beer!, they have lagunitas and several other beers on tap) So, now that we know they have a legit breakfast /​lunch/​dinner menu we’ll definitely be back to try it again. The bartender was very nice and it’s just a cute little hole in the wall. Our bill was half of what we’d pay elsewhere. Can’t wait to come back again… nice view of the planes, nothing fancy but nice people!

Great greasy spoon style restaurant. Stop by and get a taste for aviation and all the characters that make Minden-​Tahoe airport unique. Great views of the runway and taxiway areas.

My wife and I decided to try here after reading a couple good reviews. We walked in, after waiting for a bit we decided to seat ourselves. We were not acknowledged and there is no sign of whether or not to wait to be seated. We reviewed the menu for a while, and came to a decision of what to have. During that time we saw a server look at our table as she checked on another table. By the way, there were only 2 other tables, and another staff member walked by us without saying anything. We waited for at least 10 minutes and decided to leave. We were never acknowledged, greeted, and no one even looked our way as we left, except to cook who was outside smoking.

The service this morning was horrible. The server was reaching over the top of my 5 year old with a hot pot if coffee. That was the only thing hot about our breakfast too, food came out cold as if it was sitting in the window for a long time.
The butter was a 2oz cup and it had bits of toast/​bacon/​I don’t know what food in it.
The server lacked personality and appears to be burnt out in the service industry.
Our overall experience has been poor here and we may not be coming back

Came in for breakfast with my parents. Good coffee, good food (especially the specials) and decent prices. 3 of us had breakfast and drinks for just over $ 20, can’t beat that in most places in the area… I’m sure we’ll be back.

A-​mazing food. Never eaten in the restaurant, usually just grab and go. But my hubby is thrilled with the fact that the staff knows the workers in their area only get a half hour lunch so they move fast to get the guys fed and back to work on time!

Good diner food! Service is excellent and right on top of things. Even if you dont feel like anything directly off the menu, they’ll get creative for you and whip up what you’d like. Easy place to turn a typically expected heavy meal into something light too!
