Downwind Restaurant and Lounge

Cool restaurant right above the runway at PDK airport. Watch planes take off from the patio on summer nights, it's amazing. Food is better than average pub-style food with a seafood special twist. They have several good beers on tap and a full bar as well.

One of the coolest restaurant locations that I’ve been to. Simple menu with good options, friendly service.

Excellent burgers and friend service in an airport environment. The air conditioning can use some work though.

I love everything about this place - not because the interior of the restaurant is beautiful (it is not) or because the food is gourmet (it is not). Rather, the atmosphere is relaxed, the staff is great, the food is fine, everything is reasonably priced, and sitting on the flight line is fun. It was a pleasure to see the planes coming and going. The only ‘complaint’ (which is actually my wife’s complaint) is that the waitress was flirting with me, but I did just turn 37, so it was a needed ego boost. Lol! Seriously though, if you have some time to kill and someone you enjoy spending time with, then this is a great place to visit.

But I would not recommend the margarita.

Good food for the price. My son had a cheeseburger and I tried it, very good burger. I had the salmon blt, alos very good. Fun atmosphere for kids with the planes and helicopters taking off and landing every few minutes. We were disappointed that we were not able to sit near the outside windows and look at the planes while we ate. Also there is no elevator up to the restaurant level. Realized that after we had rolled up with the stroller. Would have been a 5 star rating if not for those last 2! Still highly recommend if you have little kids who like flying.
