The Airplane Restaurant
Colorado Springs
The Airplane Restaurant offers a novelty dining experience set inside a repurposed 1953 Boeing KC-97 tanker refueling plane surrounded by aviation memorabilia. Guests can sit inside the intact cockpit while ordering American comfort staples like burgers, quesadillas, dips, and what is claimed to be the biggest fish sandwich in the world.
Commenters widely agree that the restaurant provides an enjoyable, fun novelty experience that kids especially love for the aviation atmosphere. However, sentiment is largely weighed down by complaints about terrible, overpriced, cafeteria-quality food, alongside occasional mentions of poor service and unpleasant smells.
