Ate dinner here a while ago. Ordered salmon. Smelled like they got it out of a good restaurant's dumpster. Inedible! One of the employees was vacuuming the carpet while my son and I ate there. He worked his way over to us in the booth and told us to lift up our legs!!!!!!!!! We did and he vacuumed under the table as I watched in amazement. This place is awful!! Drive two extra miles and hit Timbers diner instead. You will be glad you did.

Oh kerensa...what's not to like? Enough. But I'll get to that in a minute. First, the trick here is to focus on the desirable/ tolerable as kerensa mentioned: 1. The airport next door does offer very cool views of small planes and helicopters taking off literally within a hundred feet of the parking lot. You can watch the pilots do preflight checks of flaps and engine as you sip coffee and watch the locals gain another 50 pounds on bland , creamy "Dutch" fare. Ok, ok, I've been accused of being a food snob more than once so in an effort to be fair, it is a diner with diner food, and there is more than enough taste to "get by." I get it. Pilots fly in to eat here on most nice weekends. UPDATE: The owner of the Airport Diner got greedy. He refused to sign a long term contract with the operator of the airport so the airport's flying days are over. Get ready for a an apartment complex or housing development on the runway. In my estimation, this will render the Airport Diner as just a more ordinary place to eat, but havoing said that, the locals love it and it is open 24/7. 2. Breakfast is what they do best. Although it could be improved dramatically with coffee that tastes like something and real maple syrup instead of brown corn syrup, the french toast is hot, soft, and thick, and the real, not instant-packet oatmeal makes for a healthy alternative. The Berks County waitresses' mantra of "do you want any meat with that...?" is repeated during every order. Berks Countians prefer meat with most meals. 3.As I said, the place is ALWAYS open--24/7. Except for Christmas, I have never seen it close although it may close on the fourth of July-- I can't recall. It is nice to drive by at anytime of day or night knowing I could find a place to eat. Now a quick review of krensa's oversights: 1. As you walk in the place you must run the gauntlet of often times, one of the smokiest smoking sections on the planet. The only thing that prevents many from reversing gears and running for the door as they gag smoke, is that they catch a glimpse of the non- smoking section that is a nicely furnished room with a panoramic view. If Pennsyltucky ever gets its act together and bans tobacco in public spaces as most civilized states have done already, AD will be all the better for it. UPDATE: All public spaces are now smoke free by law in PA! It is about time. 2. Kutztown can be a darned redneck place to hang out despite its so- called loveable Pennsylvania Dutch reputation. Don't get me wrong, there are some very nice people here and some of them are locals. But the "dutch" are actually of German heritage and don't be surprised if the conversation at the next table might include some interesting comments on social issues if you know what I mean. The same everywhere I guess. 3. The food is fair at best. It is diner food so don't expect anything else. Filling is often a term best used to describe dutch fare anywhere in eastern PA so don't be surprised or disillusioned by tour guide literature that promises wonderful Pennsylvania Dutch cuisine. Although some recipes can be quite tasty, you won't find any of the nuances here or at most roadside stops, and bigger is better is often the compensation. So bring your own maple syrup and enjoy some tasty french toast, bacon and diner coffee. For the money, you can't beat it especially at three o'clock in the morning. UPDATE: As I mentioned, forget the airport in Airport Diner. The owners (not locals) did not get how cool this little airport was. They ignored the pleas from various groups including plane owners and finally subdivided the land--selling a huge parcel to Kutztown University who has little $ for deserving academic programs but plenty to buy more and more land. What is wrong with these people?! Ah well, the food is still not good enough to warrant any further attention anyway. UPDATE: The Airport Diner is under new management. The food is basically the same but I'm glad the guy who decided to end the airport's life as a working landing and takeoff point for small planes has moved on. That guy didn't get it. A note on my star ratings: These unless otherwise indicated, refer to food taste and quality only. That is why I go. My good for kids ratings are directly influenced by seating availability in a SMOKE FREE environment.

If you like a big ass breakfast, then get the He-Man Special...I first went to this diner in 1992 and recently went a couple weeks ago. It still looks and feels the same, and the menu choices are massive. This is a great place to have coffee and a hangover brunch, or a late night meal before crashing after a Kutztown party...It's also a great place to take the parents when they visit you at Beck Hall....Affordable as well.

We called ahead and came in with a party. It took an hour and a half to get our food. Service was slow and the food came out one by one. The water was salty. Food was mediocre once we got it, though a few orders came out wrong. I would not recommend coming here unless it's the last place open on earth.

Desperation and lack of $$ is what drives one to the Airport Dinner. The food, term used very broadly, is pretty awful. I feel sorry for the wait staff, who really are quite likable. Seriously, how hard is it for the cooks to take a little pride in their profession, as it were. Are they all former prison cooks? And what's with the owner, just hanging out like the customers invaded his living room? Does he have anything else to do but sit there with his cronies and talk really loudly? The APD gives diners a bad name-what, with the Hometown Diner 8 miles north on 222 or the Crossroads 10 miles away on rt. 61? Those two places have fresher, healthier food, more selection, and obviously take some pride in what they serve. It is hard to screw up breakfast, so that might be an o.k., but everything else? Pretty dismal.

Good basic diner food at low prices--much improved since we were last here. Very good pork chops, giant portion of lasagna with soup and 2 sides onlt $8.
(4)Violet R.
Meh, not my favorite. Ate there once, now I avoid it. Fortunately there's plenty of other places to eat within a few miles.

Absolutely love this place. I go to KU and this is a perfect place to go if you want some decent inexpensive food. The waiters are for the most part very friendly. Weekend breakfast time is always very busy though! Open 24 hrs so it's great if you get hungry late at night. Popular place for students so it can be loud at times.

A classic among locals, APD is considered to be THE hang-out spot for students and old ladies alike. It's a 24-hour diner, which is really nice. Even in the wee hours of the night, the staff are still pretty friendly and the food is still reliable. It's the kind of place you can go if you're craving pie or cheese fries at 2 AM and not feel guilty about not ordering a full meal. The food is mediocre I suppose -- nothing too special, but definitely not bad either. It's exactly what you'd expect from a diner. Their menu is very large and there's always a bunch of specials. Everything I've gotten has tasted pretty good -- I can't recall any bad experiences, and I've been here a LOT. I don't know what everyone's complaining about with the service. Like I said, I've been here literally dozens of times and I've had very, very little in the way of bad service. The only thing I can think of is that one of the waitresses in particular tends to be a bit grumpy. They have juke boxes next to the tables near the bar section, which no one really uses and don't always work, but they ad to the charm of the place. Overall, I'd reccommend you give it a try!

This is the dining food I grew up on. This place is opened 24/7 and is just perfect. Such quick service and (usually) friendly staff. The food is just what you're looking for from a diner and always done well. I've never not looked forward to APD food. Nothing like some late night chicken fingers and fries with honey mustard or a gyro to ease the hunger pangs. Be aware Sunday mornings get really busy.

Appears to be a popular place for college kids. The food was good and the service was good as well. Typical diner food.

Ate here over the weekend when the Kutztown Tavern kitchen closed at 10. Ordered pie of course. It was only ok. Frankly with such an authentic looking and feeling diner, I was a bit disappointed. But good for a late night snack.

Dined here over the last two days and had a great time! The service and staff was out of this world! Would def. recommend this to any college kid looking for a good meal. Quick walk from KU or an easy drive.

1.5 stars, rounded up for no good reason. I am giving this diner a second star only because I save my one star reviews for experiences that make me physically ill. My mother, friends, and I ate here during the Kutztown Folk Festival. The festival ended each night at 8pm, leaving us with little choice in what we might find for dinner. We decided to eat at the Airport Diner because we thought there might be some vegetables available. We were disappointed when we discovered that the day's vegetable choices were 3 types of potato, corn, or lima beans. Ah well, a little starch with our starch never hurt anyone (except my diabetic mother, but she ordered a pork chop and simply ignored the vegetable choices.) My son and I decided to share the Shepard's Pie, one of our favorite dishes. The waitress agreed that sharing was a great idea, as she had "...never had anyone finish a whole order." What were we thinking? When the plate arrived, we discovered salty ground beef under a thick layer of mashed potatoes, all topped with brown gravy. No vegetables, no seasoning other than salt, nothing beyond beef and potato. I ate my sides of corn and lima beans, my boy peeled the gravy from the top and ate the mashed potatoes, and we handed the plate back to the waitress. She offered to pack the remainder up for later and we both simply laughed. When she asked what we thought I replied that it had been edible...and then she walked away. Thankfully she did not ask questions of anyone else at the table. The rest of our meal was eaten without interruption. When she realized that the "Dutch Crab Cake" (a crab cake set atop a plate of mashed potato.) was heading back to the kitchen virtually untouched, she gave up and asked if we wanted pie. Only after she admitted that the pie was store bought did we agree to take a slice home, and sure enough it was the best few bites of our meal. There are better diners within a 20 mile drive. I strongly suggest taking the trip away from this place!

Omg.... I could go on about the atmosphere being crap, the furniture beat to hell,,, or the food just tasting like shit... But what's the point. One word does come to mind,,, SUCKS!!!

Food is good. He-Man Special breakfast is comprehensive. Airport closed with only a helicopter Life Flight standing by. A real shame no more airplanes flying in and parking on the grass. The place still fills with students and retirees. A traditional diner. My favorite diner in the region. July 19, 2014 I'm reading some recent "2 or less" Star reviews. Everyone's experience is different and no one is perfect. I sit in the APD with quite a measure of elderly local people obviously enjoying themselves. If all of them had Yelp accounts (What's a Yelp?), I'd guess there'd many "more" Star reviews than these revent criticisms. Even Yelp has it's limits. Just think, the mere lack of computer skills or Yelp accounts for the elderly, skews results toward the younger age groups.

Middle of the road diner in the middle of a college town.

Went for breakfast on a Sunday morning. I was expecting it to be good since it was very busy. French toast was good. Sausage was the stuff you buy frozen and throw in the microwave. Scrapple was flavorless. Muffins and pastries are prepackaged from the store, not home made. Scrambled eggs and home fries were okay. Service wasn't too bad. We were seated and served quickly. My sister stirred her coffee and then put the spoon in her mouth only to find someone else's leftover food particle on the spoon. Gag! Needless to say I won't be stopping next time I am in town.
(2)Kerensa B.
Horrible service! I used to really like this place, but the last few times we went, the server was mostly absent. Well, I knew where she was as I could see her across the dining room, but after she brought the food she disappeared and never came back. No refills on coffee or water, no stopping by to ask if we needed anything. Nothing. We even tried flagging down another server to ask for a glass of water and she ran away from us as well (?)
