This is the perfect $100 Hamburger destination. Warm, efficient service, great food and the best airport hamburger and fries on the circuit. Park your airplane on the ramp right in front of the restaurant, walk about 100 yards for props, 200 yards for jets (remember the gate code #) and sit on the patio facing the ramp. The aeronautical decor... more

I've eaten lunch here several times after flying in from the bay area. The salads are excellent, sandwiches are good, more typical of a high end diner. The service has always been quick and friendly. more

I can't believe this place has such a high rating. The food is terrible, the service is worse and the prices are way too high. But, if you are just going for drinks... it is cool to have a wall of windows overlooking the runway. Of course, this is the San Luis Obispo airport and we only get a 1/2... more

I live in SLO and go to this restaurant regularly. They have a nice menu from sandwich & soups to steak & chicken. On a sunny day the patio is a nice place to sit, but you will likely have to put up with the occasional LOUD aircraft taxiing by or landing. If you're a pilot like me, that's part... more

I am a pilot, so I love a good place to eat where I can watch planes take off and land. This is the best view of an airport I have ever had at a restaurant. Great for kids, you are right on the runway, but the airport is not so busy that it is loud, sit on the patio... more

Spirit of SLO is a nice small restuarant. It has wonderful food, and it is so close to the air strip, and parking. The patio seating is great, especially on warm weather days. more

As a local resident who has an affinity for fine food and aviation, the Spirit of San Luis provides the perfect combination. The food is always excellent and owners Doug and Julie Wagnon make each guest feel as though they are a long lost family member. The ambiance of the airport setting blends the runway activity with the more intimate... more

Have been to this restaurant several times on flyins. This last time seemed under new ownership. Food has generally been very good, although this last time it wasn't as good as before. Service was nice. Friendly place, nice atmosphere. more
