Messina's Runway Cafe

During the New Year holidays, I went to lunch with 2 other beautiful women. It was my first time at the restaurant. My Mom showed me the Tuskegee Airman room 🖤. The area where you get to see the airplanes and helicopters was packed and our gracious lunch date wanted me to have the full experience.We waited and were able to secure a table. Now I know why she wanted me to see the sights. It was awesome. All of us enjoyed the entree we selected. Then there was the amazing dessert - the bread pudding! Try this location if you haven’t already done so. My only con was the floor was pretty slippery from the nice wax job; which can cause an issue if you have on the wrong shoes or have mobility issues.

Food was good when we all finally received it. The service was not up to the standard we had received in our previous visits. I dropped my fork on the ground and our waitress picked it up and set it next to my clean silverware. I promptly added it to the stack of dirty dishes. Then had to wait 5 minutes for her to return with clean silverware that she grabbed off another table. By then my food is cold and my sister's meal finally arrived. We were just glad to get tge check and leave.

If you like New Orleans food and watching airplanes ✈️ land and takeoff 🛫 while eating there is no other choice in the city (that you don't have to pass through security to access).

Horrible burned burger with no sauce and no cheese s listed on the menu. Patty had no spices whatsoever, it was very burned although it was ordered medium well. Never again.

My wife and I had a wonderful time enjoying our meal here as we celebrated our 21st wedding anniversary. It also holds special meaning for us because our marriage ceremony took place at this very place.
