The Airport Cafe has been a destination for pilots throughout the Midwest as well as locals since the 1940s. It's a genuine fly-in restaurant, a wonderful piece of Americana! My dad used to take me here when I was a kid. This place is one of those increasingly rare non-franchise, down-home, family-run restaurants, and it's much improved compared to years past: The food (mostly comfort food) is actually pretty decent now and very moderately priced. And -- check this out -- they serve locally-raised bison! Tastes just like beef but is supposedly healthier...The kitchen and dining areas have been renovated. You can now eat outside when the weather is nice. If you order a milk shake, they make it to order and bring you the can on the side. Pie is excellent.

Needless to say, I was extremely frustrated considering I had talked to someone on the phone TWICE before picking up this food and no one had said anything about not having what I was ordering. They charged me for something I didn’t even order, offered no discounts or even an apology for the situation. I took this order back to work to eat lunch, and the food that I did get was mediocre at best. I suggest spending your money elsewhere. I could get better food & service at other local...
