It's broken between a bar and a restaurant. Loads of large model planes hanging from ceiling. Panorama large windows of the airport. A relaxing place seeing the hustle and bustle of Mission St and I-5 in the distance. Lots of single engine aircraft in and out and occasionally National Guard helicopter. Life flight Salem based there and happened to see one land. There is a low end and high end cost wise on the menu. We kind of splurged.

This was our first visit to the Flight Deck, but won't be our last! The deep fried ravioli was the best! We had the prime rib, it came with brussel sprouts and potato as well as soup or salad. The entire meal was delicious, and the waitress was super friendly! We will definitely be returning! Be sure to give this local spot a try!

This restaurant is really cool with it's view of the runway, plane parking lot, and all the model planes hanging from the ceiling. My children were thrilled about the planes landing and taking off. I ordered the fish and chips and it was ok. Our server was top notch. We didn't have dessert but the pies and cheese cakes looked delicious.

The flight deck See photos for current prices, Web site menu prices photos outdated. Was told that there are no happy hour pricing on appetizers or drinks. Ordered the onion rings. They were fried without being greasy. The fish was the same result, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The french fries were slender and crispy, with a good outer crunch. The tarter sauce was a creamy dill mixture and the ranch dressing had a good flavor. The wife got the crab melt which had a good taste. Waitress was friendly and the service attentive. Bonus was the view of the airport and one of the private jets that landed, was told that it is a Honda jet. A pleasant, low key dining experience with an airport view.
