A little surprise for me today. I wasn't expecting to fly into Gillespie, it was a last minute thought. Hungry! - I noticed on Google Maps there is a Cafe here. Ground gave me directions, I parked at the transient lot for airplanes; careful not to take up any of the flight school's spaces. Right next to the cafe was plenty of parking (on a Tuesday). The cafe staff were welcoming and the restaurant clean and the menu full of excellent choices. Breakfast is obviously popular here, looks tempting; diner style, lots of choices if you want breakfast items including biscuits and gravy. However, I wanted lunch and ordered their turkey melt sandwich with lettuce and avocado on it, accompanied with potato salad. It was plentiful and delicious, completely satisfying. The staff came around a few times making sure I didn't need anything; then when it came time to pay - no delay. I'm liking that, no song and dance for the check, pay and go! See you guys again soon.

Awesome lunch experience. The server was very attentive. We enjoyed watching the planes take off from the view on the patio. We had a BLT, Hot Pastrami, Chicken Noodle Soup with a sandwich and a breakfast burrito. Dessert was blackberry cobbler -YUM!! We will be back!

Gillespie Field Cafe is the BEST all around cafe in San Diego. I've been a ongoing customer there since 2009 and every visit has been 5/5 Star Outstanding. My only wish is that they would open at 6 a.m. instead of 7 a.m., and stay open for dinner. Plus, the new "Grab n Go is a huge convenience. The quiche is delicious 😋.

This is our second time being here. It's always a great atmosphere for the kids to be able to watch the planes take off while eating their food. The prices are good and the food has always been delicious. I loved that they brought out the pancakes in the shape of a Mickey head, and that was without prompting from us. The blueberry pancakes were loaded with blueberries which was very nice as my kids love fruit! The staff has always been very friendly and we have never had to wait long for anything, even refills. Definitely something I highly recommend for anyone who is in the area. Even as an adult, we loved getting to sit outside and watch the planes take off and pull in to park. Can't beat the experience!
