Excellent diner! We had breakfast there one day and lunch another day. Both times the food was great and the service was exceptional! I love a good burger, and their Sunrise Burger was awesome! My wife had the Club Sandwich and said it was the best ever. Seating is limited, so come in early, especially on weekends.

Just out of downtown Potsdam. This place does it right. Simple breakfasts that are both delicious and filling. Nothing overly complicated like most places in town. Simple is always hard to taste good because it's noticeable if it's done wrong. This place does it right. Would recommend it to everyone.

Perfect small diner! We arrived a few minutes before lunch started and were able to get our lunch order in right as it started. Our Onion Rings app was on the table in 7 minutes and lunch in 12! We both got a club sandwich with fries which was delicious. Also, their coffee is much better than other diners we have been to.

We go here frequently for breakfast, and have never had a bad meal. The Airport diner’s steak and eggs is literally the best I have EVER had. When I am craving a steak, I want it flavorful and juicy. The steak was PERFRCTION as well as the eggs! The potatoes were just an added bonus! 10/10 recommend! Service is always friendly and efficient with time!

Ever wanted great diner breakfast food? Look no further. I hope this place can afford to expand. Because the only reason I don't tell everyone about this place is because it's so good, I shelfishly don't want to wait. Brought three out of town coworkers here and they all loved it. Price point was perfect, service was great and the food is amazing. Highly recommend it.
