We had our work Christmas party at Hanger 54 in their larger reservation room. The room was nice and spacious, and everything was layed out in a very organized matter. We ordered off the catering menu and had: Swedish meatballs, Classic Caesar Salad with Caesar dressing and garlic croutons, Alfredo, dinner rolls, and seasonal vegetable mix. The food was really good. Lisa and Antonio were our servers and did a wonderful job. Would highly recommend Hanger 54.

Great atmosphere, good food, cold beer! Great place to watch the planes take off and enjoy a meal. The burgers are good and the poutine is exceptional!

Even though we didn't get to see any planes take off or land as we sat with a view of the tarmac, this place sure offered the best views as we did the Curd Crawl. The airport itself is quite small, but this restaurant had a decent number of folks stopping in on a rainy Saturday. Service was great, as was the food! We ordered cheese curds (of course) along with the sausage sampler, because we needed some meat to offset the incredible amounts of cheese we were ingesting that day. The cheese curds had great texture and squeak, while the meats were all quite tasty, the bread fresh and heated by the grill. I can see why this restaurant would be a good destination even for people who weren't using the airport.

The restaurant offered a delightful dining experience with its charming ambiance. The service was incredibly fast, and our server was exceptionally friendly and attentive. Our meals arrived promptly and were cooked to perfection. From start to finish, we felt welcomed and cared for. We highly recommend this establishment for a pleasant and satisfying meal.

What a highlight to our time in Eau Claire! I sure hope many will visit this fun, aviation themed restaurant. We both had bluegill sandwiches accompanied by some of the most delicious fries ever! The service was attentive and friendly. As native Ohioans, we were unknowingly seated at a Wright Brothers themed table! Keep up the great work

Pulled pork nachos were tasty as our appetizer and could have easily served 4. The entrees were spot on, but the carrot cake was among the best I have ever eaten. Our server Jake was very friendly and attentive to make sure that we had a great experience as it was our first time. We plan on coming again to try out the other dishes. Almost forgot my husband loved the airplane decor.

Restaurant inside the airport. Easy access to the restaurant, free parking. I had the Philly Beef and Cheese. Similar to a French dip that comes wit au jus and got the fries. Excellent sandwich, maybe one of the best I’ve ever had, and the fries were delicious. Best carrot cake I’ve ever had. Highly Recommend!

The food and service are always great!! Their cocktails are lovely. Iove the chicken strips! Nice juicy chicken, hand battered and fried in clean oil. Burgers are always fresh not frozen. Everything is fantastic!
