Wasn't sure when hubby suggested but so thankful we went. Such a cool little place and tje service and food quality are off the charts!
We come here often. Great place to grab a quick bite to eat and to grab a couple of cold beers, great service as well .Also they updated the menu!!!! Alley was the bartender on and she was awesome 👌
Delicious stop by plane or car! The wings were crispy and cooked to perfection. The Burgers are great also! Great crowd even on a Thursday night. Fun place to eat and watch the planes. ‘Will be back again!
I arrived late, to join my party of 10. My Order was taken and delivered quickly! Server suggested appetizer or soup, glad they did! They serve a Fabulously delicious mushroom bisque! Highly recommended! Bright and airy atmosphere. Plenty of parking. Clean!
After weeks of eyeing this cozy restaurant just half a mile from home, we finally decided to give it a try and it turned out to be a fantastic experience! We opted for indoor seating to enjoy the live music.Our order beers, fries, mushroom quesadillas, and chicken fingers was served surprisingly fast. What truly makes this spot stand out is the outdoor seating area, where you can watch planes take off and land a delightful bonus, especially for families with kids. Plus, they have board games to keep everyone entertained. The staff was incredibly sweet and welcoming, and the prices were pleasantly affordable. Overall, a great place to unwind. We’ll definitely be back. Highly recommended!
Fantastic menu, customer service, and dinning atmosphere! The planes and helicopters taking off while you dine makes for a truly unique environment that adds to the experience. The menu is smaller and well thought out. The pricing is great in that nothing is cheap in quality but not over priced either. My wife got the prime dip and loved it. I highly recommend the Brandywine Burger. The sweet potato tots are good as well. The bar had a great selection if you're thirsty. This is a great American dinner and I will be back again for sure.
This was a second time back at the Hungry Pilot. We ordered burgers and the food was delicious. Thank you , Lucas for inviting us back; my son and I enjoyed our meal. We’ll be coming back in the near future.
The Hungry Pilot was a wonderful experience! We hosted my dad's 80th birthday party there (a group of about 20) as my dad is a retired Air Force pilot and the idea of a party where we could watch planes take off and land was really cool. Working with the owner Lucas was fantastic. He took care of everything and the party went off without a hitch. Our server, Kelly, was so friendly, attentive and efficient. The food was great and so affordable. The restaurant is a relatively small space, so I want to be clear that it's not great for parties any bigger than ours, but there was plenty of space for other diners while we were there and we didn't feel like that was intrusive to our party. Highly, highly recommend for a unique, delicious spot to grab a bit and enjoy a view unlike anything you'll get at other restaurants!
We've ordered food for pickup before but yesterday was the first time we decided to stop in for dinner since we live in the area. I had not been in, so I was curious to see this tiny airport in person. Their little lounge is so cute! I hope one day I get to wait for a private jet there ☺️ As for The Hungry Pilot, we were surprised at how busy it was considering how tucked away it is. They had live music which was great (can't remember the gentleman's name). Upon being seated, the hostess invited us to participate in the Kentucky Derby game they were holding & explained that if the horse we chose, won the race, we would win a $25 gift card to the restaurant. Since the race was due to take place while we were having dinner (& they had it playing on multiple screens throughout) we gave it a go. I ordered my usual: fig jam smash burger & per usual, it was outstanding! My wife had the Hungry Pilot burger which she also enjoyed. I also tried their non-alcoholic cran-apple ginger fizz (I think that's what it's called) & found it surprisingly refreshing. It was raining so no planes were coming or going but we were sat next to the window so I got a chance to look around the outside where they have fire pits & picnic tables. My wife & I decided we will have to return later in the summer & sit out there to see what the vibes are like. Bet they're great with good friends & a drink. By the way, our horse, Final Gambit, came in 4th so no gift card for us but we are also gonna try their Trivia Tuesdays...maybe we'll win something then 😀
Pros: The Hungry Pilot is our go to neighborhood bar. We know that we're going to get great service when we walk in and see Jess behind the bar. She has made this our favorite place to go for happy hour. Luis is also a great bartender and doesn't disappoint. Usually have great service from any of the servers when sitting at a table. Areas for improvement: Food is usually good but not consistent - sometimes we'll get sauces that go with the dish and sometimes we don't. Burgers aren't cooked to ordered temperature - order medium if you want well and not dry. Taste of dishes is not always consistent and the same dish can taste different. Cons: Will not sit at the bar if we walk in and see the newer gentleman, Tom, behind the bar. We don't mind talking and interacting with our bartender but he is quite obnoxious.
