Runways Cafe

My grandparents are regulars here. When I go with them, I love that they don't even need to order, the server knows their food and drink orders! Always a great experience!

Went here with my kid and parents, and everyone loved the food. Great place for show and great meal. Would recommend just looking at what time bigger planes are taking off and going for at that time

First time here won't be my last. Kids loved it. Great food. Fun view

Watch the pilots in training from the big porch, let the kids dream and gaze in fascination, and have a decent meal while you’re at it. Excellent, friendly service. This is a favourite weekend breakfast spot even when we’re not traveling!

The food is yummy. The service is excellent. The views is amazing. Perfect restaurant for airplanes lovers and kids.

Sit and enjoy a great breakfast. Hone fries are way better than 50's or Angel's.
Watch airplanes take off non stop!

Nice little cafe/diner had a nice little breakfast shared it with my wife and we were both satisfied...nice little patio you can watch planes depart and arrive with nice views

First off, this restaurant is the best place to have breakfast or lunch! They have a really cool runway patio to sit at when its nice and warm out! The staff is very pleasant and made me feel very welcomed! The service is phenomenal and i loved all the different options of food and drinks that they had. Very cozy vibes and i loved the atmosphere! Will definitely be going back here again. Great for a nice lunch date or even for meetings! Highly recommend!

Enjoyed a lovely lunch (pulled pork & Greek salad) with my pickleball gang. Excellent food and very hospitable staff, thank you

The staff here is awesome. Super friendly. Food is good.

Went to Runways cafe for breakfast and to see the planes. My son absolutely loved it. It was good service, coffee and breakfast. Great view, will return often.

Love the food and the service, great place and free parking fair prices.

Great place for breakfast with the family! The kids had so much fun watching the planes, and the food was delicious!

We might be regulars here because the owners and their staff treat us like family. Oh and when they have mushroom soup, it is beyond comparison!! Well the schnitzel on a bun is the best around as well.
The service can't be beat and great views of the aircraft operations round out the experience. We go 12 months of the year.

Made a special trip to this lovely little restaurant today for something to do on a rainy day with the kids. Even though it was overcast with light rain we still got to enjoy the view of planes and see a plane land! The food was good and served fast. Our waitress was pleasant and kind. 100% kid approved! Such a cool spot for breakfast or lunch.

What a fantastic find! This cafe lies just beside the runways. Planes are taking off and Landing and you can see all the action while you are sipping your drink or eating your lunch.

Still like their Saturday breakfast. Menu is quite reasonably priced, with a variety I like. If they're truly busy and fall behind, that's a problem. But, doesn't happen all that often.

Updated Feb 2023: post COVID the food and service remain excellent. Prices reasonable. Even on a busy Saturday morning, we had our meal in about 10 minutes. And friendly and efficient staff. Highly recommended.

This is a nice family friendly restaurant located in the flight training building at the Waterloo airport. Unfortunately it is not open for dinner, just breakfast and lunch. It has a great view of the runway and parked small planes. Great for kids. There is also outside patio seating. The food is reasonable priced and well prepared. The staff is friendly and helpful. We have been going here for a number of years and have always left satisfied.

What a fabulous place to eat great tasty food while watching planes and jets takeoff and land. Awesome service. Always a great place to go.

Order prepared quickly. Pleasant service staff and a never empty cup of coffee. Highly recommend.
