The 57th Fighter Group Restaurant is a unique restaurant located in Atlanta which commemorates the historic 57th fighter squadron of World War II. As one might expect, the walls of the restaurant are covered with decor, art and photographs of the era, particularly planes and pilots of the U.S. Air Force during the 1940s. A hidden gem.

Enjoy a relaxing setting in one of our inside dining rooms complete with fireplaces, a touch of jazz music playing throughout, and an incredible view of the airport with taxiing planes and helicopters. If you want to go even further into the 57th experience, head over to our lounge where we have two full bars, a dancefloor, and a large outdoor patio right next to the runway of the airport to get that full feeling of being next to the aircraft. Safely of course!
As far as the food, we offer mostly American cuisines with additional specialty dishes from our amazing chef Aaron James always keeping quality delicious and the variety a must! See you all soon!

The historical military environment is good for my retirement group that includes veterans, federal public servants, and general historians. The food was excellent. However, the service was very slow. We were the 3rd group in the restaurant. At least 3 groups of the same size came in after us. They were served first by the same server, finished their meals, paid and left while we waited for our entree orders to be taken. While we enjoyed the food and environment, and each group member has memorable prior visits to the restaurant, we may not return.

We had the best time with friends at 57th Fighter Group. The setting is so unique and fun, the food was spot-on, and the service was impeccable! Ashley is fantastic, and everyone who works here is so kind and welcoming. We enjoyed watching the planes land as we ate, and the whole experience made for a super enjoyable night out.

57th Fighter Group is sooo much fun. It’s a pretty restaurant with great old school decor. My dad was a WWII vet, so that makes it extra special for me. It is great to watch the planes come and go, as the restaurant sits next to the runway of PDK.

Loved our Sunday Brunch at The 57th Fighter Group ! Went to celebrate my Dad's 89th & had a really great meal & enjoyed the memorabilia & watching the planes come & go. Atmosphere was relaxed, not rushed at any time & our server Jasmine was friendly, attentive & took great care of our party of 5. We noticed it was popular with families & we got a kick out of watching the children enjoy the novelty of the place. The food was very good, many selections of hot & cold breakfast and lunch choices, salads & desserts, all well prepared & presented & refilled & rotated to make sure it remained fresh & at proper temperature for a buffet. There is a really nice bar with a dance floor & an outdoor patio area. Price for our occasion was good, since we went for the place as much as the food, but still recommend going for their event nights or a nice lunch or dinner as we are already planning on doing in the near future. Thank You from the Hurley party & we look forward to seeing you soon !

Brought my parents here from out of town and they LOVED it. Rarely do we go back to the same place twice and they can’t wait to visit again. The salmon was amazing, burger was massive and the chicken was perfectly cooked.
