You can look over the runway from the deck and the building is a neat vintage WWII building, but the service is bad, and I have never ever got a good tasteing meal, since Ive been there. They even have messed up my salad, with brown lettuce, and the burgers are fair to poor. It may have been good in Feb. But if I want something to eat I would go to any place, including Micky D's before I would go to the downwind. Food is below average on their best days.
Service is poor to nonexistent.
However, I think several others have missed some of the best food at the Downwind by treating it as just a hamburger joint. It is owned and run by a Greek family. It offers a real variety of wonderful Greek dishes, especially at night. Very good food at very reasonable prices. And I have always found the service just fine.
