Taildragger Cafe

It is one of the best brunch/breakfast places! Imagine eating your burger and randomly watching planes land and fly right next to you! 😂 it was one of the best random plans I made with my friend.
Food is 7.5/10. The servers there are very kind and helpful. Vibe and atmosphere 100/10 🔥
Must go once for this experience 🔥

THis little airport restaurant at the Minden airport is a gem! Breakfast does seem to be the draw here. The omelet I had was a FOUR egg omelet with the best hashbrowns around! The prices here are super reasonable. The big omelet, including hashbrowns and toast was just $10.50. Coffee is $3.00 so there's that. I'll be back soon for more food. Service is very good too.

Excellent experience. We forgot our water bowl for our Dog. We asked for a foam to go box We could use to as a water bowl of sorts. Instead, the waitress came back from the kitchen with a large plastic bowl of chilled water. The food was delicious. Best Philly cheessteak I've had in some time. Very friendly staff. Clean restaurant and restrooms. Enjoy a good meal and watch the planes come and go.

Wow! Extremely amazing experience. Bartender and workers were friendly and attentive. We ordered the chicken crispy salad and a chef’s salad. It was delicious and huge! And I mean huge! We were extremely satisfied!

Great views of the airport and tremendous homestyle cooking.

Super unique place to enjoy breakfast with local people. The teens and I enjoyed watching planes land and take off. Friendly service and not touristy.

Fantastic location for plane spotting and grabbing an awesome meal. Down to earth and historic. Great fly in location for access to Reno/Tahoe area. Friendly folks.

Wonderful breakfasts. Service is fast and friendly. Did choked to order and tasty. Nicely presented.

If you love planes, the atmosphere and view is wonderful at the Minden airport! Large menu with excellent choices of sandwiches and soups. The vegetable meatball soup was great! A fun place to go!

Great locally owned restaurant with full bar overlooking the Minden airport. Fantastic home-style breakfast options and great lunches too. Call ahead options for take out breakfast and lunch. Best and most friendly servers in the business. Full bar opens at 0600am with great Bloody Marys. Plenty of outdoor seating when weather permits. O1/17/2022-Be aware they now charge extra for take out orders and also for sauces (Ranch dressing etc.) The lunch entrees are extremely salted. Last time I was there the tater tots were so salty they were inedible. The french dip had very little meat. Staff is still awesome and work very hard. Update 09/15/24 Sunday the place was totally packed (as usual on a Sunday) we sat at the bar and gambled a little and had a few cocktails. The service isn't what it used to be. They have a tendency to make you feel like a burden, not a guest. The food is still great for breakfast. The cook can make basted eggs like no ones business, and the chicken fried steak is great. Just wish the service was as friendly as it used to be. Been eating and drinking here for 20+ years and it's at its lowest point now.

Friendly local cafe. Simple menu but lots of appealing choices. We had a bacon burger, which was worth doing again and beef tostadas which were huge.

Flew in with a small plane. Super nice place for brunch, friendly & fast service and good food. Will be back.

Excellent service and great food!! The view of the airport and operations were front row!!

Delicious breakfast with very generous portions. Service was friendly and prompt. Our family ages ranged from 6 to 66, and everyone enjoyed their meal. It was also great fun to watch the planes take off and land.

It is a fantastic place, if you like airplanes you can enjoy the view of some single-engine planes!

Super good omelets for just $10.50! FOUR eggs! Best hashbrowns too.

Took my dad here for Father's day breakfast. The staff was wonderful. The portions are big, the food is delicious, and the price can't be beat. I've been up here visiting my parents for over a month and this is one of my favorite places so far.

What a lovely little aviation restaurant! The prices were reasonable and the food was good. After I had breakfast, I saw the Blue Angels "Fat Albert" parked right outside the restaurant.

Traditional airport Cafe with a classic menu, great staff and great value. A fun place for a casual meal, no matter how you get there (you don't have to be flying)

Flew in from Auburn. First time here. Great airport, great Cafe, great food, great service. There should be more restaurants like this on airports!
