OMG...what a great place to have a meal!! Paula and her staff are truly the best and make their guests feel welcome anytime - from breakfast to lunch to dinner! Their menu is varied, and the food is always prepared "just right"!! You always get the clear message that they want you to have a great experience there. An added bonus, if you're an aviation geek like me, is that you get to watch planes take off and land while you enjoy your meal and conversations with friends. I believe that, either on Friday or Saturday evenings, they often have live music to help make your weekend enjoyable as well!! I have become a big fan of Paula, her staff, and her restaurant!!
Paula's is a Gem! The food is delicious. I have eaten there many times, and every time I enjoyed my meal, breakfast, lunch and dinner. The staff is great, super friendly! Definitely recommend!!!
Wonderful find. It's a great place. Small, unassuming, wonderful staff, with the best brunch I've had in a long time. The BLT with avocado, spicy aioli and a side of sweet potato fries was perfection. The pancakes with bacon were good too. And there were high praises as well for the cheese omelet with hash browns. Great food, friendly attentive staff, and good prices. Will definitely go again.
Went for breakfast with my family, Paula come over to see how things were. We all chatted for a bit, she is such a warm welcoming host. She made sure my nephew had crayons to doodle with. The food is good, the service was ok. My mom spilled her milk to her coffee. So I asked Paula for a damp rag to I could wipe the floor up. My mom was embarrassed, Paula was so sweet about it and insisted she help clean it up. I can not say enough about Paula’s hospitality. This place is good, Paula makes it exceptional! Thank you for making us feel at home. We will be back soon!
Great little spot with amazing staff and delicious food. Watching the airplanes land and take off is a plus. Tried this tuna melt with sweet potato fries, avocado toast, breakfast bowl, and the Aviator. Their sweet potato fries were one of the best we had in a long time. We will definitely be back.
What a hidden gem this place is. Whether it's breakfast, lunch, or dinner, do not sell this place short as being a regular run of the mill airport cafe. We routinely go there just for the food. And if it's Saturday night there's usually live entertainment going on as well.
The place is very nice! The waitress was very polite, and the best of all is Paula! She is very kind, polite, and caring! This is the first time I have come here, and I felt like I was home and surrounded by friends even though I came alone. I totally recommend the place! Omar G.
