Bessie's Diner

Stopped in for breakfast after a flight. Very good food and friendly staff. Definitely recommend

We flew in here from Milwaukee this morning to have breakfast and the food was great. The restaurant was clean, the service was quick and the restaurant was very interesting too. Will definitely try to be back in the future!

We met family for lunch here. They feature a $100 cheeseburger for $15. The old style chrome dining sets were comfortable, and the seats had nice cushions. We enjoyed watching small planes pull up and park for lunch from our window seats. The food was reasonable and well prepared. We will be back again.

Flew up to Janesville Airport on Monday. Had lunch at Bessie's Diner. My wife and I split a ham, cheese, and tomato Omelet that was pretty good. It came with plenty of cubed potatoes and 1 whole piece of toast. For the price of $14 we wished they could have given us at least 1 more piece of toast. You can however, purchase a separate order of toast for an additional $2.50. The coffee was very good. Wished they had come around and offered another refill. We received only one glass of water and when we asked two different servers for honey for the toast no one brought us any. Service was really lacking and no one seemed to be interested in our business. The restaurant itself is very clean and new. The ambiance is fantastic. You overlook runway 14 - 32 and when aircraft are either landing or taking off on those runways you get an excellent view. It is exciting and fun to watch, a very good place to observe all kinds of aircraft. I would recommend the Diner for the view and the fun of watching airplanes and jets landing and taking off, but not so much for the service although the food isn't bad. It's not a bad place to take a family if you're not to fussy about the service.

They have a coffee flight at this airplane themed diner! That made my day as it was delicious. Our servers were super friendly too. Definitely coming back for great food and a fun view of the planes out on the airstrip!

Good place to eat! Good service!

Excellent place you must experience this place at least once!! Airplanes come and go as you eat it is awesome!!

Nice place, good food.

Food just ok,eggs not really prepared correctly, doors open at 6:58 ,but don't you go in for 2 more minutes.blah blah blah

Our first time, but plan to return soon.

Bessie's Diner is a unique spot that offers a great experience in a small airport setting. The space is very clean and well-maintained, with bar seating and tables (no booths), creating a casual but comfortable atmosphere. The menu features some unique items, making it more than your average diner. Expect to spend around $12-$15 per person, which is reasonable for the quality of food offered. Parking is easy and convenient, and the overall charm of the diner is hard to beat. However, it’s worth noting that Bessie’s is not particularly kid-friendly, so it’s better suited for adults looking for a nice place to enjoy a meal in a quiet and pleasant environment. Definitely a hidden gem worth checking out!
