    This place is a gem! Amazing history of being there for decades and all the memorabilia to prove it. Right on the runway so you can eat and watch the planes take off and land. The service was 5star. Attentive, efficient and friendly. Now the food, fantastic 👏 😋! I had an Angus ribeye cooked perfectly and covered with lump crab meat, Holandaise and asparagus. Paired with a fresh green Cesar salad and mac and cheese. To finish off I chose the complimentary peach cobbler. Exceptional restaurant with a unique ambience. Its a must go... we even saw a couple fly in just to go to this place! That says it all.

    This is an awesome place to eat especially if you enjoy planes. The staff are friendly, food and drinks are great and probably the best veggie burger I’ve ever had! This is one of my favorite places to visit.

    Breakfast fare in a diner on Sundays only, every other days they have lunch & dinner also. We were there on Sunday and the food and service were both great. You can expect a wait during busy times but we think it’s worth it. We split a salmon eggs Benedict and it was delicious! We will be back. If you fly I you have to exit the ramp via the fbo and walk 20 yards to the restaurant. No parking or ramp fee if you go to the restaurant!

    Nice place for a meal, surrounded by an aviation theme. Some tables have a view of the airport, although some are obscured. All meals come with a small starter of a savory cupcake and biscuit, and a small desert (a few flavours available). The portions are massive so there's probably not a need for a full starter or desert. Make sure you come hungry if ordering a full sized main course (they come with 2 side of your choice)! Our server didn't seem very interested about being there, but the food came out relatively quickly.

    I work there! After 25 years working in more than 10+ different restaurants in 4 different states I can say without a shred of doubt, this is the cleanest and best running restaurant I’ve ever worked in! Period! The Cannons should teach a class!

    The best part about this place is it does overlook the runway.. the pancakes were ok. The bacon did taste good. The hash browns were mediocre and the cheese grits were so watery and flavorless even with salt added. The coffee was ehh. The server was nice until I left. She gave me my check and I went to the front counter to pay and paid. Tipped over 20%.. as I’m walking out of the restaurant she literally runs up to the front counter that is now behind me and said did you pay?!? And checks the basket of checks at the counter to make sure I paid.. made me feel like she assumed I was a thief and would dine and dash!! I wish I didn’t tip her over 20%… will certainly not be back

    Had an amazing Brunch with friends while watching planes land and take off right in front of you. Great food, service and atmosphere. May have to wait a little during the season, but the waiting moves quickly. Enjoy.

    I Finally had the opportunity to try C.J. Cannon's on the Vero Beach Municipal Airport property. What a great place for the entire family. Lot's of aviation memorabilia, as close to the ramp as you cane get without having an aircraft. The service was excellent and friendly. I had breakfast, and wasn't disappointed. I ordered my eggs and bacon well done so don't get excited when you see the photo of my breakfast. I will definitely try the lunch menu on my next visit. I highly recommend C.J. Cannon's when in the Vero Beach area.

    Very classic restaurant with views of the runway at VRB. Food is excellent at decent, good prices. Lots of memorabilia on the walls from days past.

    Different experience if you haven't been to a small, private airport. Because of its location famous celebrities are plastered all over the walls. Old school deco that's outdated and the food quality needs to improve for me to return.

    Excellent brunch. The menu is extensive and the food freshly prepared. Our party had the smoked salmon Benedict and the corned beef hash Benedict. We left very full and look forward to going back for dinner. We sat on the patio which was delightful.

    Great local place - in airport, windows facing runway. Hearty portions of home cooked food. Friendly service, enjoyable meal.

    Unique setting. Definitely a retro/i.e. old fashioned atmosphere. Definitely stepping back into the mid-80s here, but its part of the fun. Delicious food, well-presented, and kind and attentive waitstaff. Worth a return trip!

    The menu looked amazing. We had Blackened Cobia and Grilled Pork Chops, along with a Fried Okra appetizer. The food was just okay. The price was reasonable and the server was nice. The decor and the view of the planes taxiing in was the best part. Overall, we will probably return because it’s unique and there is still so much on the menu to hopefully enjoy more than our first meal.

    What an awesome airport restaurant right next to the fbo. The food is so good and the service is impeccable which is so rare where I live in Kissimmee. I will definitely be flying my plane back there in the next few months.

    UPDATE: November 2 came to eat lunch. Dad had liver and onions. I had the coconut shrimp. And again forgot to take photos of the food. And I forgot to take pics of the food. It had been awhile since I had eaten there. My dad had the blt, I had breakfast casserole. But I did take some photos of inside the resturant

    My pilot loved this place due to flight line view. It's a comfortable atmosphere. Big booths and server was so kind and attentive. 1st time here. I had Mahi, the grilled broccoli was very flavorful. The salad was one of my favorites from anywhere due to the smaller arrangement and home made ranch. Can't wait to go back for their meatloaf and green fried tomatoes. Spouse had a grouper sandwich and sweet potatoes fries.

    Excellent place to go have breakfast! Due to the popularity, great food, and service at this place, it is hard to get a table!

  • 5/5 Ethan B. 11 months ago on Google
    Great experience all around, first time here. Waited about 10 minutes to seat, Saturday at 11:30ish. Great view of the GA ramp with great food and service. Really good Philly cheesesteak, country fried chicken, and flaky biscuits. Will definitely return!

    We go and eat breakfast here around every other week. The food is absolutely delicious. My favorite is the delicious Vero Beach omelette. The staff is always so nice, courteous, and attentive. Our kids love going here and watching the airplanes take off and land also. It is definitely one of the best restaurants around.

  • 4/5 Dustin M. 3 years ago on Google
    It was my 1st time at this establishment. The service was good, the atmosphere was relaxed and fun. The food was good overall. I personally didn't like that you have to purchase your sides separately... but no big deal. It was a pleasure.

  • 4/5 Isni F. 3 years ago on Google
    Good food. Decent prices. You have an option to sit inside or outside. I can't give them five stars because service was somewhat slow. We were there for about an hour and a half.

  • 4/5 Yenca 1 year ago on Google
    Nice parking area. Decor is a hodgepodge of airplane paraphernalia and the 80's tacky taste. Service was really good and fast. I had the Tuna Salad Sandwich on a Croissant. Nice portion and ok price, but very bland taste. Needed salt, vinegar, lemon zest or lemon juice, something. Same with my friend's Chicken Salad Sandwich.

  • 5/5 E M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great service, and menu. Locals eat here a lot. Awesome memorabilia.

  • 5/5 Christine W. 2 years ago on Google
    Stopped in for lunch great little airport restaurant with terrific food! Roast Beef open faced mashed potatoes and a veggie and hubby had the the open faced turkey etc! It’s worth the trip, just an FYI it’s popular so you might have a short but the aviation eye candy will keep you busy.

  • 5/5 Debbie C. 11 months ago on Google
    This airport is very inviting, in that it is small. May try to take flights from here instead of Orlando or Sanford. Did not stop to eat this time but will check it out in the future.

  • 5/5 yachtski s. 2 years ago on Google
    Great breakfast, aviation decor, nice staff, we sat outside was a bit noisy unfortunately a corporate jet was refueling almost right out front. It's an airport so expect it. If you don't care for that it is very beautiful inside. I like planes So it was worth it. It would have been nice if they had a little less vegetation to the left so You can get a better view It's pretty dense there. Otherwise pay attention to your meal and then you can walk down to the fence if you want to get a better view.

  • 5/5 Diana H. 1 year ago on Google
    Perfect Cole slaw and Mac n cheese. Both were creamy and flavorful. Clam strips were more like crumbles. Maybe they were from the bottom of the bag? Turkey club was excellent. House wine was good. Atmosphere is really fun and funky. Great, friendly service. We'll be back!
