One of my favorite places in Kenai! Anything you eat there is made from scratch and you can absolutely tell. The waitresses are always so kind and accommodating. It's a great place for a quick bite or a sit down with your family watching the planes take off!

OK this is seriously the best place to eat in Kenai. The service was amazing. I think the girls name was Alana she was very cheerful outgoing and gave us a lot of suggestions. She even came up with her own rendition of fries called the hot mess fries. They were delicious! They should actually put them on the menu!! I couldn’t believe my spicy chicken sandwich has it was a real chicken breast nice and thick and fried crispy on homemade buns who else does that? The burger was hand pressed it was thick and juicy and again was on a homemade bun. Everyone else in town does things fast food type and

First time I dined here! My waitress was excellent! As a believer in Jesus Christ she had a witness of love that comes from God!
I ordered the crispy spicy chicken and onion rings! There goes the diet!! The entire platter was made from scratch !
The quality and flavors were memorable’
Family owned buisness that you need to try!
Located in the Airport, but don’t miss out on this place if your not flying! Well worth the time to check it out!!
Blessing to The Brothers Team!’

I don’t write reviews but I would give this place 5 stars based off of taste but the afternoon waitress wasn’t very polite, wasn’t very attentive and when asked if we liked our food we said it was delicious but the breading fell off the chicken sandwich which we didn’t make it a big deal, she then yelled into the kitchen that we were saying the breading fell off the sandwich really putting us and the chef on the spot as other customers could hear her. It was a weird and uncomfortable experience, won’t go again if she is there but other that that, food was great!

One of our families favorite places to grab breakfast or lunch!!! We always get a latte or breve because they make such good espresso ☕️ followed up by either homemade doughnuts or lunch. This last time we did lunch. Club sandwich, fish and chips, custom burger, & chicken tenders. Our waitress was so friendly and the atmosphere is so relax overlooking the runway and the mountains in the backdrop. The prices were very reasonable and the food was fantastic!! Would definitely recommend anyone to come check this place out to eat!

The food and the Service were wonderful.
The donuts are homemade fresh daily and I reccomend them all.
You can watch the planes take off and land too.
Very clean and new.

So I got a bear claw and a pumpkin spice latte. The bear claw was pretty amazing. Kinda doughy and had apple in the center the parts of the pastry that were cooked fully were still soft and delicious. As far as the coffee goes mine was ok. Could not taste much pumpkin. But my friend got a hazel nut brave and said it was one of the best he has had. I would recommend trying it out

Absolutely delicious food and great service. It's right in the airport so you can watch the planes coming in and going out. Also do yourself a favor and get a donut. Seriously.

Excellent flavors, handmade, great service, vibe, and prices for the quality. I had to laugh at the idea that the next time I'm driving through Kenai, I'll totally come out of my way to a cafe in the airport for a meal.

A friend and I got the spicy chicken sandwich, Philly cheese, onion rings, and chili cheese fries. All delicious. Maybe we'll try some of the many healthier options on the menu next time.

Breakfast was tasty, fresh and service excellent. What was even more amazing was watching the constant flow of devoted followers dropping in to pick up the maple/bacon donuts and other delights. They ran out, which I'm told is a daily occurrence. Advice, come early, get your donuts. Or do as we do and sit and enjoy the views of airplanes and donut lovers.

Stopped by today for the first time, had heard about how good the donuts were. Well I don't think I will be going back. Tried a breakfast biscuit sandwich, driest biscuit I ever had. Needs more fat in the mix,too dry and crumbly. the only fat in the sandwich came from the greasy sausage. Then while my wife couldn't finish her coffee, we got to over hear how the donut maker screwed up his donut mix and had to reproof it because the dough was too runny. Well that makes for a tight ,over fried,grease heavy donut. Left my wifes mouth "filmy" feeling. Maybe don't discuss problems

No ice in drinks. Ordered the ribeye sandwich, steak was tough, very little mushrooms and cheese, and sandwich roll was not the best. The roll fell apart. Disappointed in the food. Not what I was expecting.

I was pleasantly surprised by this little cafe! The breakfast skillet was to die for. It was fresh, hot, and ready super quick which was perfect for catching my flight. The service was great as well. Very friendly and attentive. 10/10 would recommend.

Poor service and over priced food. Ordered a burrito that came out with an undercooked slab of egg smothered in cheese, which is not listed on their menu, and a smashed up frozen sausage patty. Instantly makes your stomach churn. Also, make sure to read off each ingredient you're ordering so there is no confusion. Two stars for the decent cup of coffee and their milk alternatives.

While waiting for a delayed plane I ordered chicken strips and a salad from The Upper Deck bar. Imagine my surprise when the order arrived in short order and it was hot and fresh! I'll definitely be sure to order here more. It makes the wait so much shorter!

Been there twice for lunch. Good food and service is ok. For an airport to have a good place to eat is unheard of. Fairly reasonable priced.

This place is excellent.
This is a coffee dimond in the rough of Kenai and some of the best I've had in Alaska. Recently opened at the Kenai airport, it's an unassuming location but great atmosphere, conversation, food and of course coffee. Responsibly sourced beans roasted in Kenai, homemade syrups, interesting tea blends, and a delicious patty melt!
Go here.

If you grew up in Kenai and remember Wings - the eatery that used to be in the airport - then you'll be happy to know the airport once again has the best fries in Kenai! They are crisp and fried to perfection. While not what I remember as being the amazingness of the Wings fries, these definitely please the palate and the belly.

I've eaten here twice now. Once for lunch and once for dinner. The lunch menu is a fun one, and I had the chicken "burger" (I don't know the exact name). It was what you expect of a chicken burger, though the bun was not my favorite it still seemed
