This place is not far from the highway, and was a really cool place to have lunch with the biplanes and Cessna airplanes around. WACO Kitchen has a small but stylish dining area set against the bar and kitchen. They have an extensive wine list,...Read More

Rare (unique?) very modern design birds-eye restaurant perched overlooking Waco’s Battle Creek manufacturing & parking hangers. Hip Scandinavian atmosphere/furniture. Very tasty food & frequent changes in menu offerings. Dude, you gotta be there on a clear warm day when they make the huge front window...Read More

What a standout addition to the Battle Creek/Kalamazoo community. Great food, great service, great location. Only pilots ✈️ can make reservations 🤣. Ask the staff to hear the story of why the restaurant is there. …

This is a cool place to go if you're looking for something different! It's cool that it is right at the airport and you get to watch planes take off! The food and service was good too! A great date night spot
