The 57th Fighter Group Restaurant is a unique restaurant located in Atlanta which commemorates the historic 57th fighter squadron of World War II. As one might expect, the walls of the restaurant are covered with decor, art and photographs of the era, particularly planes and pilots of the U.S. Air Force during the 1940s. A hidden gem.

Enjoy a relaxing setting in one of our inside dining rooms complete with fireplaces, a touch of jazz music playing throughout, and an incredible view of the airport with taxiing planes and helicopters. If you want to go even further into the 57th experience, head over to our lounge where we have two full bars, a dancefloor, and a large outdoor patio right next to the runway of the airport to get that full feeling of being next to the aircraft. Safely of course!
As far as the food, we offer mostly American cuisines with additional specialty dishes from our amazing chef Aaron James always keeping quality delicious and the variety a must! See you all soon!

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
57th Fighter Group Restaurant offers a unique dining experience with its WWII-themed decor and prime location by the runway, making plane-watching a delightful activity. Guests praise its "wonderful atmosphere," "fabulous food," and "attentive service." However, some note that while "the brunch buffet is back and the food selections excellent," the service can occasionally be slow, and the interior might benefit from updates. Overall, it's a great spot for aviation enthusiasts and history buffs.

    We went two weekends in a row to have special time with both our children and significant others. Both times I was disappointed with a few stations. The cheese, fruit and waffle areas were not maintained. The cheese was dried out and there were only a few pieces (this was 1:30 on a Sunday) there were no waffles or pancakes and had to ask. The soup was not really hot and cooled too fast to enjoy. The variety of the menu was good. The first weekend they started running out of good menu items and started adding frozen apps. All in all just a little disappointed after paying $400.

    Very disappointed that the only choice we had was to dine off the buffet. I’m not a fan of buffet b/c food is never hot & tends to get old tasting fast. Such was the case. We come for the menu & a chance to experience food off the menu. Service was good & as always it’s fun to watch the planes land & take off.

    Fun time with friends. Great place to celebrate the holidays and good cheers. Delish hamburger (thick), sliders, and perfectly cooked pork loin. Dion, our server, was fabulous!

    Celebrated my Dad’s 80th birthday here with family and everyone loved it! Food and service were good and really enjoyed watching the plane activity on the runway. Perfect lunch spot for all ages. We’ll be back!

    The historical military environment is good for my retirement group that includes veterans, federal public servants, and general historians. The food was excellent. However, the service was very slow. We were the 3rd group in the restaurant. At least 3 groups of the same size came in after us. They were served first by the same server, finished their meals, paid and left while we waited for our entree orders to be taken. While we enjoyed the food and environment, and each group member has memorable prior visits to the restaurant, we may not return.

    We had the best time with friends at 57th Fighter Group. The setting is so unique and fun, the food was spot-on, and the service was impeccable! Ashley is fantastic, and everyone who works here is so kind and welcoming. We enjoyed watching the planes land as we ate, and the whole experience made for a super enjoyable night out.
