The Hangar Restaurant & Flight Lounge

I was so pleasantly delighted by this place, it was unexpected. The bread was absolutely divine. I did not expect it to be a highlight, but it came with three different sides to pair with it, including a garlic chive butter, and a basil pesto, and it was incredible. The bread itself was soft on the bottom with a super crunchy flake on top. I don't even know why I'm still talking about this bread right now, but it was really just that good. The fries were also good, they're the type that have a crunchy texture on the outside with a soft chewy inside. I also had a salad with walnuts, strawberries, and it was good. I added chicken which was juicy and well cooked and seasoned. Overall, this place was really good. I will likely be back.

Visited for breakfast which was delicious and very reasonable. It was very hot outside so we opted to sit inside although there’s really not a bad spot to sit due to very high ceilings and windows. Very cool to see planes taxiing, flying off and landing. But back to the restaurant. Great service, plentiful of plane memorabilia, omelets, eggs Benedict and espresso martinis were all good. The boy enjoyed The Cold Fashion which they loved.

Very good food, amazing server, lots of reciprocating engine planes, it's a fun experience watching the pilots eat and fly. Saw pimp plane in person (no pic sorry). Had 2 pancake with strawberries and whipcream and my partner had a luggage belt (a staple breakfast on bread with tomato and lettuce). The coffee is chicory (sorry to people who like bean). The food and drink was refreshing while sitting at the patio over looking the hangars. Everything is actually fresh and the place is normally only half full. Fun atmosphere! Would return.

Quality restaurant! We have been here a couple of times, once for breakfast and once for dinner. The food was great both times, and service was good and friendly. Reasonable prices as well. We love the setting with all the airplane memorabilia. For dinner they had live music, and you can't beat being able to sit outside and checking out the planes taking off and landing. As an added bonus is one of the few places downtown Saint Pete's with their own (and free) parking lot, which makes it super convenient not having to look for parking.

Went to the Dali museum and decided to try this place for lunch. The atmosphere is wonderful we sat outside and watched the planes come and go and the waitress that we had was very friendly and very efficient… And the food was fantastic. I haven’t stopped thinking about it since I went… Gotta go back soon . My friend had the Reuben sandwich and he said it was the best that he has ever. Had they cook everything there. I had a turkey bacon sandwich. They also roast their own turkey breast. It was fantastic.

If I could give The Hangar a 10 star rating I would! The atmosphere is awesome, staff was friendly and attentive. Bartender Matt serves a mean Cosmo martini! And then the food.....WOW is all I can say. I never order meatloaf out because I make fantastic meatloaf. Matt suggested I try it and man am I glad he did! Two large slices of bacon wrapped meatloaf smoothened in delicious gravy. Served on fresh made mashed potatoes. To die for! Hubby had the Reuben and was so pleased at the thick, tender slices of corned beef! Everything about this meal was fantastic! It will definitely be a go to stop when we are in the area!

I have been wanting to try this place for a while and Father's day was just the opportunity we needed. The food was amazing and the views on airport so if you like to watch the planes it's perfect. Service was great and the food again really amazing and they have the entire menu available all the time.

Wish I tried this place sooner. A unquie dining experience where you can sit inside or outside and watch the planes at this private airport take off and land. The menu had a variety of options which my friend and I were sold on their fried chicken. Get biscuits in gravy or a sandwich, both dishes were packed with delicious flavor.

Let me tell you - customer service -0 The server bald guy should not work as the server at all. Attitude, not a pleasant person at all. Order steak and eggs for my daughter , it didn't look good to me . I ask my daughter to wait and let me try it . as soon as I put this peace of meet in my mouth - so chewy - and smelly. I spit it out. Look at the color ? Absolutely Green . As soon as our server came I told him that this is not acceptable and how you serve old peace of meet to a child . He told me that it's fresh and because I don't like too doesn't mean nothing .

I've heard about this place for a long time and finally went there for lunch after visiting the Dali museum. It's very cool to eat at a small private plane airport. We ate outside and watched the planes come and go. The restaurant was bigger than I thought... there's a bar in there , indoor and outdoor seating. We got a fondu appetizer to start that was good, the chopped salad was also very good. The 'Hangar' burger was great. The only negative , at least on this particular occasion ( my first time) ... the service was ridiculously slow in terms of getting the food after we ordered. Took well over an hour to get a couple of burgers... wow Our server was great / wasn't her fault I'd come back and try it again.... Maybe for breakfast which looked good on the menu

One of my St Pete breakfast go yo's for many years. Always FREE parking and never really encounter a wait and if we do only 10-15 minutes. Indoor/outdoor and bar seating with huge windows overlooking Albert Whitted Airport with views of tiny planes and helicopters coming and going. Across from Dali Museum. They are open BLD, but breakfast is my fave. Their omelets are good and home fries taste amazing. It is always consistent. I like that they use Zing Zang as their bloody mary mix. Full bar with creative options. Their prices are affordable. Good for groups and they even have a private room. Monday nights are jazz night. Enjoy!

Whenever we're in Downtown St. Pete, we usually wind up at The Hangar for breakfast. This time around I ordered the Luggage Belt Sandwich, an egg sandwich, with lettuce and tomato and mayo. I ordered mine sans bacon. It was served on multigrain toast along with home fries. The sandwich was good, but not outstanding. Hubby ordered a 3-egg cheese omelet. He didn't think it looked like it had 3 eggs. It was a very basic omelet; again, good but just that. Our server was efficient, if not friendly. The setting is always interesting, as you get to see the planes take off and land. We definitely didn't want to sit outside, since it can get noisy. With downtown St. Pete churning out so many interesting and delicious restaurants, I'm not sure that going back to The Hangar is a priority for me. I like the laid-back feel of it, but they need to up their game a bit.

In a nutshell, the restaurant is pretty cool as it sits right off the runways of the municipal airport. The service was pretty good and attentive. The food was good, but not great. This was the first time we have been back here for a few years. It is a really neat place to go especially if anyone in your party is into airplanes and airports. Lots of old pictures of the way things used to be like 75+ years ago so that makes it fun. Our first order of appetizers came out pretty cold. The bar staff after we mentioned the issue quickly took it back to the kitchen and brought out a new order that was really good. Kudos to them for how they handled that. If you're in the downtown area and have never been, it's worth a stop.

How much fun was this? A lot. I usually don't expect much when a place is about the atmosphere or in a touristy area. It's right across from the Dali museum. If you're into aviation even better, for me that was worth going for. Everything was wonderful, friendly fast greeting, attentive service and the food also exceptional. Enjoyed the whole experience and would definately repeat it when traveling in the area. I realize there are so many choices and trying new places is a goal. However, when the food is very good and so is the atmosphere you can't help going back.

I just love this place! Their food is fantastic, great local beer menu and it's located at the St Pete airport and you can watch planes coming in and flying out while you eat. I have been here several times, sat at the bar with excellent service. I have also sat outside to watch the planes coming in and out. I have had the Flying Fish Tacos; Local fresh catch, iceberg lettuce, pico de gallo, The Hangar Steak: Chimichurri sauce, avocado radish salad, and Hangar fries and the Smoked Gouda Stuffed Meatballs: House made tomato sauce. All amazing food!

Wonderful breakfast watching the planes take off! Amanda was our terrific server. The food choices were expansive for such a small place. We want to go back for dinner! It has a great bar!

The location was fun at the airport and views wonderful. The service was very quick and attentive. The drinks were good, and while the sauce on the nachos was good, I never had nachos actually be potato chips . This was a bit different and not as desirable.

Came to The Hanger for a Brunch Seminar. The decor is fun as everything is geared toward airplanes. There is inside and outside dining. The outside tables are right next to the planes. You can watch them coming & going. The seminar was inside in the back. Service was a little slow, things were forgotten, but there was only 1 server for our large group. For a starter they gave us a typical fruit cup filled with fresh fruit. Nothing special. For my meal I had the Oven Roasted Chicken Sandwich. It was presented on the plate with 2 halves and a side of chips. The sandwich was filled. It had spinach, goat cheese, sun-dried tomatoes and a balsamic. The sourdough bread was toasted perfectly. The sandwich was delicious and the flavors were a perfect compliment to the moist and tender chicken. I had asked for coleslaw instead of chips but was served the chips. The coleslaw arrived with my to-go box. For dinner I had the coleslaw and I can say it was good. Everyone in our group said their meals were wonderful. I would definitely come back.

What a fun place! Super cool atmosphere! It's the lounge for a small commuter airport right downtown. We each had a different salad and all were delicious, fresh and inventive. The service was excellent as well! Absolutely try the Hangar!

Nice spot next to the Dali museum extensive menu. They serve Coke products + +. The eggs Benedict was really good. Served on a homemade biscuit, not an English muffin. Super friendly service. I liked sitting outside and looking at the planes.

Another great visit here with Robin as our server. He got the meaty omelet and grits with a biscuit..while I got the fondue. Both were delicious! I love you can order the full menu all day. Drinks were readily refilled while we lingered and enjoyed the view. Don't sleep on those bisquits..man they're good!

First and foremost, FIX YOUR ELEVATOR, disabled people in wheelchairs that come to dine, cannot! So bad.. some people with mobility issues can't climb two flights of stairs or walk for that matter. I am sure plenty of business comes here, but you are missing out on more...fix it! We were seated, Coke products served here, Root Beer is IBC and served in a bottle .placed an order for the Crostini bread served with Pesto, Garlic Butter and Olive Tepanade..absolutely delicious, waitress never brought plates and very hard to eat without everything landing on table..ordered the Fried Green Tomatoes, you get 4 in an order, served hot, they were o.k. but they should try a different batter for the outside since it was pretty much non existent..had to ask for plates, not sure why appetizers are served with no plates? Twice...service lacked badly and it was not eventhat busy, never came and checked on us, the server at the tables right by us was so attentive with his guests and checked and refilled drinks, told my husband I wish we had him..ordered a Cheeseburger and Fries served hot and fresh and very good..also a special Pasta dish with Shrimp and Olives and a spicy sauce and it was delicious as well...the food was very good, the service was very bad( she still got a good tip) and I still cannot get past a broken elevator for your guests ..my husband did not bring in his wheelchair and can walk a few steps and ended up on two flights of stairs we almost left, the table next to me was complaining as well about having to do the stairs..the place is cute inside and nice to see the planes going on and out...the broken elevator and the bad service give this place the one star.. Food excellent.. will try again in the area another time since the meal was so good and will ask about the elevator before coming...

It has taken me a week to think about this comment as-to not over react immediately after visiting this establishment. Our family of seven ate Easter Sunday buffet and to bluntly state the food was cold, bland and of poor quality. I asked an employee twice if he could provide dry dishes at the serving line with a response of disgust on his face and never responded ( health code violation for sure). The egg soufflé was at best room temperature even after replenishing the tray with fresh food. The stench of seafood being served prevented all of us from trying it. Cold grits - awful! This is just a sample of what we encountered. Being locals, we have dined here several times but this restaurant obviously could not handle what was booked. The customers truly suffered from it. This experience was so disappointing we will not be returning or recommending this restaurant in the future!

Walk across the parking lot from the Dali for one of the best Reuben sandwiches we have eaten in the Tampa Bay Area. Servers are attentive. The view of the airport fun.

We love eating here! Today I had biscuits and gravy with a bowl of fruit. My friend had the the flying chicken. Lol. W/a biscuit & cream cheese all were delicious. The atmosphere is quiet. But plenty of people. Awesome service and very cool views of the airport! There's a terrace for outdoor seating which is really fun! Check it out! Full menu w/veggie options too!

My reviews are to help the consumer not hinder the establishment. With that being said I will start with the GOOD. Jazz Jam is every Monday evening starting at 7pm. The band was phenomenal. The Airline Chicken was delicious. Garlic Mashed Potatoes, chicken breast topped with spinach and sun dried tomatoes in a cream sauce. Yummy. The BAD was my Salmon that was way over cooked (burnt on the bottom) and flavorless. My beverage of choice was The Rum Runner but it was not a strong drink just MID. This was a group function and The Banquet Room was rented. The tall male server that we had was very short when taking orders, a little snappy and impatient. Not good service at all. The atmosphere and vibe is what will make me come again.

Best corned beef hash I've ever had IN. MY. LIFE. Every time I come here, I TRY to order something else but I just can't. It's that good. I've tried almost everything on the menu because I'm a compulsive bite-stealer though and everything is amazing. Everything. Always packed for a reason!

My wife and I were in st Pete on holiday and needed a bite. The Hanger was recommended by the hotel staff. On arrival we were greeted by a LOUD local band. Staff directed us to a calm outside patio. We were not ignored by staff being outside. The menu was simple but adequate. Quality was quite good. Portions were large. Will probably return when next in st Pete.

Our waiter was amazing. The food was hot and delish. I had a cheeseburger which was perfectly cooked. Highly recommend!

Excellent food, eapecially omelets and the best corned beef hash we have ever had! Great sitting outside n the mornings watching planes landing and taking off.

This place is fun because it's in the airport and you can watch the planes come in and out all day. The food is OK... Nothing special, but it is very unique. Also they serve breakfast all day which is a nice plus. They have a great place to eat outside but it can't get windy. Don't try to go there when the Grand Prix is running they will be closed.

Table of 6 was served by an amazing young woman who took very good care of us. We had the shrimp appetizer that was made with olive oil and seasoned perfectly. The pulled pork nachos were a great addition and suggestion from our server. Fish Tacos were delicious and served with some delicious ingredients. The reuben was also delicious and huge. The evening meal served with a side of Jazz was served up perfectly. A great evening. Please do not overlook this place. Been here several times and it's always been amazing.

Everything was just okay. Food was okay. Was kinda cold. Service was okay. The guy came and asked for our drinks, then food, then how it was and then brought the check. It wasn't anything special. If you are nearby and need something. This would be a decent option. But if you know of something else better near by I would recommend that instead.

I'm pretty shocked at the low rating people have given this place. I love it here. Sunday afternoon, outside, lunch and drinks, watching plains land and take off. Always full when I leave, good food and one of the best Bloody Mary's to be had. Staff are overly nice, good service. Don't pass this up, from the reviews, way underrated. I go here at least two Sundays a month. No complaints. Thanks guys,Smitty

Always great service and food Been here quite often Came on Thanksgiving went they had no reservations available. It was just 2 of us and we were happy sitting at the bar

Have always come here for the ease of getting food before shows at Mahaffey Theatre across the street...sat down and ordered drinks at 6:10....15+ minutes before waitress came for food orders...were told 45 minutes for service...didn;t get served till 7:45ish...noticed food was slow coming out from the kitchen...we were right at their door...2 plates...another two plates a few minutes later....the plan e was full but there was little hustle going on...didn't get another drink order in till just before the food arrived...thinking their me a lack of restaurant cooks in the midst...but we missed the first song because of the slowness and lack of hustle.....food was okay, they informed they were out of what I ordered when bringing the off out...a little late to get a plate.I was fed but the others off their plates.....Yikes!

There is about 25 tables and a nice bar inside the Hangar which is all upstairs and a few tables outside with a nice view. There was about 3 servers total for lunch. They get very busy at lunch. I ordered the tacos with cole slaw. It was good but barely any coleslaw and for a side I thought that was odd because my husband got fries and there was enough for 2 people! I was still hungry, but they took so long just to order our drinks and then the food took 25 minutes. I thought who knows how long it would take to get more food. It would've been nice if they would have checked with us during the food wait cuz we could have ordered a bread service for $6 but they never checked on us. Probably should have ordered the BIG burger that is huge and pricey. Be ready to wait a while. I'd go again but only get fries and a drink. Parking is free but small parking lot. Ambiance is small to medium tables, airy, light and noisy from high ceilings.

The staff are very friendly. The food was great. I like watching the planes land and take off.

Dined here recently with a moderately sized party and I had the carpaccio appetizer for my meal. OMG it was incredible. I'd eaten not too long before joining the group and I wanted something light. This was perfect. The serving was very filling and came with some tasty greens to round out the dish. If you want this as a main dish, I recommend getting a side to go with if you're really hungry. I struggle to imagine sharing this with someone as an appetizer, maybe I'm just too selfish! I must also add it's pretty affordable compared to other places where I've had carpaccio.

Good food and service. A broad menu. Jazz on Monday nights. A few air plane landings and takeoffs to watch if that interests you.

I've been a repeat customer for years after a friend (that was in school to be a pilot) flew me down for dinner on Valentine's Day. There's something really magical about arriving at the door of a restaurant in a plane and getting to watch other customers fly in and out while you eat! Now I bring friends here whenever I can. The menu isn't too expensive ($13.5-$28 for entrees) and there's something for everyone! Recently, we all tried something new off of the "altitude" section of the menu, which I consider to be their specials. The $21 roasted airline chicken breast was really tasty, though I wish there had been a second side or larger portion of potatoes to make the plate more filling. While it's not hard to imagine a full house, I've personally never had to wait longer than 5 minutes for a table that seats 2-4. And that's after coming on multiple holidays and nights with live music!

Well. Its a neat place to take somebody oit of town. My experience was extra mediocre, i mean. It took like 45minutes to get lunch on a Wednesday. Place wasn't that busy at all. Ended up with a reuben. Objectively, the sandwich was good, chunks of meat, good sauce. My son had the kids cheeseburger, man there wasn't any cheese on it after that long ass wait. It was overdone as well. Would have asked the cook to hook it up but kids were hungry and we had been there for a hot minute. The prices are high. Its downtown st pete, the airport aesthetic is good for fans of aviation. The planes come n go as you are there. As a local, I probably wouldn't go back. It was extra long wait and the food/service didn't justify the price.

Very cool watching the planes while eating and over all view was awesome! An unforgettable experience for my kids and family, without a doubt. Food was great for a good meal while on vacation. Good appetizers, kids meals were filling and quality. Kids pasta was well seasoned and not your basic veggies! Zucchini and squash. Definitely must go. Service was a bit slow but was a busy time for restaurant so understandable.

Great atmosphere, good food at fair prices and the service is always good! You are able to sit outside or by the windows to watch the planes take off and land. Thanks for a good experience.

It's great food and some of the best scenery around.... If you like airplanes. My brother and I flew in just for lunch and it was totally worth it. Tons of food, reasonably priced, great friendly service. I had a natural burger and my brother had their cheesesteak. Their fries are awesome too! Not disappointed at all and we will be back!

my husband and a friend just ate there today. We went to the Dali which was exceptional and then went over to the hanger for lunch. Place is crowded so service was slow, but I guess expected. All three of us got something different and all three thought it was just not good at all and will never be back! my friend got the burger, I got the patty melt and my husband got the Reuben. The fries which the waitress said were really good were just normal frozen fries, I thought she meant that they were fresh cut fries. I would've gotten a different side but the sandwich was so bad that it didn't really matter. Disappointing

Not good to go Patty Melt the bread was stale not grilled well I ordered the burger, medium rare and it was well lacked onions lacked flavor was dry and tasteless. The french fries were good to go is iffy, but I live five minutes from the restaurant so there's no excuse for this.

We love this place! We have breakfast here several times a month. The food is always fresh and prepared just right. And they make a good cappuccino. Yay!

I came here yesterday for a lunch with a girlfriend i hadn't seen in a while and Laura was a phenomenal server! she was very understanding when we kept talking and forgetting to look at the menu which was very sweet. we sat outside and the view of the airport is truly so unique, i loved it! my friend got the wedge salad with steak, she thought it was really good.

Our group of nine came here for lunch after the graduation ceremony for three of them. Everyone was pleased with the food and service. I'm sure they liked the price, too, since I paid for everyone. I started things off with the cheese fondue appetizer. The cheese was excellent and the dipping items of bread, granny smith apples and strawberries were good, there were not enough of them. Next, I had a turkey BLT on toasted wheat bread. It was good, but a little bland. The service was good. The prices were reasonable Like the Terminator, I'll be back.

We haven't been here for awhile, but had out of town guests and there aren't many places for breakfast on a Monday in St Pete. We were able to get a seat outside and watch all the planes landing. It was a bit windy, but we persevered. The menu is nice, and all of us found something to eat. I settled on the breakfast sandwich which had eggs, bacon and cheese and was served with home fries. The sandwich was good, but the potatoes were cold. The coffee was excellent and our server was great about keeping our mugs filled. Service was decent and prices were ok.

Great place near the pier for tasty food and a variety of drinks! I wish the filet mignon steak came with a side of home fries to make it more filling given the price, but that's my only gripe. Thanks for accommodating our big family! The kids loved watching the helicopter land and seeing all the planes

On our way to concert, we were directed over the Hanger for a bite to eat. Must admit, I was expecting a diner like atmosphere, after all, it's right next to Whitted Airfield. Pleasant surprise that this was a sit down restaurant with a good sized bar, pleasant staff and really good food. It's a little pricey, $14 for a burger and that's before you put cheese on it. But the burger came out and have to say, it was worth it. Just a cheeseburger (Cheddar) with "salad", which is the lettuce, tomato, pickles and onions; but it was so tasty and so juicy, I think I was done with almost half before I notice it had no catsup, mustard, or mayo on it! My husband had the Philly Cheesesteak and he was quite impressed though he said he wished they given more cole slaw with it because the cole slaw was good!

I never went back. They weren't crowded. My friend and I went there as I told her how good it was. How embarrassing. My pulled pork needed a chain saw to cut through it and was cold. It took a bit of time to get her. She took it and I ordered the meatballs appetizer. Brought it back. Fries were cold and meatballs were grizzly. Her sandwich wasn't much Not sure I would go back

I ordered shrimp poached in olive oil. They were supposed to have garlic, sun dried tomatoes, capers and olives. I can attest that I tasted no olive oil flavor, no garlic at all and I found three measly squished capers. My sister in law tasted it and agreed with me. Since the waiter recommended the shrimp he spoke to his manager and she came over and made it right by taking it off the bill. I appreciated the gesture. My sister in law ordered a Reuben and she had to ask for dressing because there was none on the sandwich. On top of everything, we came at the end of the lunch hour and had to wait 30 minutes for our food. I don't enjoy leaving bad reviews but this is my honest review. You can't be better off you don't understand what you're doing wrong.

Came for happy hour and enjoyed drink specials. Burger and wedge salad were great!!! Nice staff and people at the bar!

Service-good! My breakfast was sad! Eggs were like crusted toast. Asked for medium fried but both sides just overdone! The real concern was being charged for each food item! Bacon-$5.00. Eggs-$6.00 & toast $3.00. Apparently my mistake thinking it was a complete price for the entire order. Others breakfast restaurants charge for the combination choice, not each item?! Love this place but quality was not there this time.
