Unless you're a fish the only two ways out here are the ferry or flying. I like the a window seats inside or on warmer nicer day to sit outside and watch the airplanes come and go. Can get a bit noisy around weekends and holidays but adds to the experience if you like the planes. Service can get a... More

This place is off the beaten path & actually alongside a runway. The atmosphere watching all the planes can't be beat. Good thing because this place is packed & getting your food takes forever! But...you are on vacation so who cares. Outside seating is the best, but an even longer wait. The portions are huge, diner style. Breakfast was delicious... More

Great spicy chilli, tuna melt and a wonderful breakfast selection. Enjoyed watching the planes on the park benches outside. Service was great and included 3 coffee refills.

We stopped here for lunch the other day. We were out for a bikeride around the island and this was close by. Nothing fancy but their clam chowder is amazing!!! It was fun to watch the planes come in and take off while eating lunch. Something different when you do not want to be at the beach.

Go for the full throttle! You get a little bit of everything, and everything is delicious. We love watching the planes take off and land while eating a great breakfast.

My husband and I found this place when we took a ten mile walking tour and got caught in a downpour! What a lucky find...award-winning clam chowder was wonderful, but get there early because they run out!

Bethany's Airport Diner, located in the terminal at Block Island Airport, is a quick 10 minute island getaway from the hustle and bustle of the mainland. Food and service are average, but it's a great place for pilots to meet and greet. Hopefully, the red wood airplane that offered diversion for children and a great photo op will be returned... More

Ok, it's a diner. It's not a 5 diamond Mobil guide listing. But for breakfast or lunch, it's my favorite. And the landing and departing planes are the side show. Best breakfast that I had at Bethany's was pastrami-laced pancakes with walnut/blueberry topping. Unparalleled!

Bethany's is always one of our stops on Block island. Breakfasts are awesome, especially if you can nab a table outside next to the runway and watch the planes take off and land. My husband swears by the pancakes (actually, it's one huge plate-size pancake), but I'm an omelette gal! We've also stopped in for lunch--yummy soup and sandwiches--and I... More
