Review by Delfina Corwin

Messina's Runway Cafe is a hidden gem at the New Orleans Lakefront Airport! ✈️ The art deco charm combined with fantastic views of the runway makes for a delightful atmosphere.

I enjoyed the fried shrimp Caesar salad, which was a perfect blend of flavors, and my grilled chicken sandwich was juicy and satisfying. Don't skip the bottomless mimosas! 🥂

While the service was a tad slow, the staff was friendly and attentive. The Eggs Benedict here are unbeatable - poached perfectly with a rich hollandaise. Highly recommend stopping by before your next adventure! 🌟
