This diner is so fire that I had to make a poem that really showed my true feelings, *ahem*:Walk up in the diner, feeling kinda fly,Chinese-American flair, gonna give it a try.Breakfast game strong, like a morning mission,Eggs so good, they should come with an admission.In this little spot, where the flavors groove,Like Ludacris on a track, can't help but move.From the waffles to the hashbrown sizzle,Every dish here's got that flavor fizzle.

I found Flightline Cafe by pure chance while driving from Sacramento, and wow, it's been such a great find. The place has this cozy vibe that just makes you feel welcome right off the bat. I tried their Kung Pao Chicken, and man, it's hard to put into words how tasty it was. It's one of those dishes that just sticks with you. The cafe itself has a really nice atmosphere. It's laid-back but still feels special, you know? Plus, the folks running the place couldn't be nicer. They really make sure you're taken care of and enjoy your meal. They've got this genuine warmth about them that's pretty rare to find these days. Now, every time I'm heading down from Sacramento to Southern California, I make sure to plan my trip so I can swing by the Flightline Cafe. It's not just for the food, which is awesome by the way, but also for that friendly, welcoming vibe. It's kinda become a little tradition for me - a tasty pit stop that I look forward too.

Man... where do I even begin? It has been 4 long years since I last came to Flight Line Café, and I assure you, it is definitely not by choice. I am not in the Fresno area, and although there are things I am thankful for because of that fact (100+ degree summers be gone!), being away from Flight Line Café is not one of those things. To this day I have some of the most vivid dreams of their butter soft french toast served with a cold glass of central valley whole milk. Truly an experience. On top of that, their customer service is amazing - Patty and Henry, the owners, always go above and beyond to check in with each customer to ensure that they got it right. They're just great people making great food. If you are in the area, you would be doing yourself a disservice if you don't stop by here.

Omg the chicken sandwich was so good! The waitress past by with an order of fries, they smelled like good old fashion French fries so I had to order a to go box of fries! If you’re lucky you might catch an airplane taking off or landing. Fresno Chandler Airport, Fresno CaFlight Line CafeWill go again!

This is a small cafe that is originally Fresno's airport. It's a very old building with authentic stations and benches. It's really nice to see food is great. Atmosphere is just something cozy quiet, it was nice.

As a new costumer I was very disappointed with the service . I never leave reviews , but I felt the need to leave one because of the horrible experience I had as a new costumer. I came here with my 6 year old son and my 1 year old which were very excited to come because of the airplanes . As soon as my 6 year old son opens the door for me because of the stair they have at the entrance the server tells us in a rude way there's no room for us . She can clearly see me struggling to go inside with the stroller which is very rude to tell your costumers that there is no room for you when I can clearly see a lot of open tables with nobody sitting and eating on them. After I clearly tell her it's only us 3 that will be eating and I can eat with my 6 year old on my lap , she finally says ok and sits us down. For a whole hour of us eating nobody else sat on the empty tables . What a horrible experience ! If I can give this Zero stars I would .

Well wished I could review the food or place but sadly can only review customer service at this time came in with my family and was turned down with a "SORRY WE'RE TOO FULL, THERES NO ROOM LOOK. SORRY" instead of have a seat we'll be with you shortly. Or there's a 30 minute wait. To make it worst they didn't even know how many people were in the party which made it look worst.

First time coming here and it was real nice and different experience. The owners are real nice and friendly people. I went for breakfast. It was good food and fast. Its a nice place to have breakfast. It was quiet at the time and from time to time you would see some smaller planes land and take off. Definitely will be going there again, Next time I'll have to go try there lunch items.
Literally an awesome experience!! Food was so amazing! Kind service! With a smile! Love sitting in a piece of Fresno history and enjoying some awesome food!

What a terrific little breakfast find! I've been enjoying some holiday time off and using this extra time to explore new places to eat, hello Flight Line Cafe. Walking in here feels like literally traveling back in time to the 50's. The architecture, the style of the dining room, and the menu itself represents a snacking of delicious simplicity. I sat at the breakfast bar and was immediately greeted by the husband and wife... team? Not sure, but they are super friendly and immediately handed me a menu and offered me something to drink. I ordered two hot links, eggs, hash browns the side of toast. The breakfast menu does not deviate from this combination, but I loved that. My meal was delicious and everything was cooked perfectly. The owners checked on me a few times and told me they took the place over in 1993 and I've run it ever since. The owners have added their Asian culture to the lunch menu with plates like chicken teriyaki, chow mein, and a sweet n' sour chicken salad. Attached to the café is an actual working airport that opened in 1929, and from the dining room area you can watch planes take off and land. This place has such cozy feel and I could not get enough of it. Definitely want to bring my family back here.

Cutest little diner with such a nice vibe. The menu may seem basic but the food is full of so much flavor. These have to be the fluffiest most mouth watering pancakes I've ever had. The breakfast burrito was so good, I'll be craving it for days to come. I Highly recommend!!

Delicious French toast. The owner needed more wait staff but she was really nice. The dining room was well lit and had plenty of space.

This place is truly a hidden gem. Simple food, great airplane memorabilia, ran by a two person duo. The views of aircraft coming in and out makes the wait to be seated worth it!!l Had pancakes, eggs, bacon and cup of coffee... it was ok and very reasonable priced-- but for the overall experience this place is worth giving a try!
