Would you be able to team up with the Naval Air Station Museum? I noticed they have a defunct cafe that is no longer used / open - maybe an opportunity to expand it?

I’d sign a waiver to eat in a structurally unsound diner, can we do that? Been flying in for years from north Jersey with many flight students (and a couple dates) for lunch at Flight Deck. Great food and a unique vibe, it’s a loss to the aviation community (and I’m sure Cape May’s as well). So what now - apartment building?

Wouldn't it be interesting to convert those old planes along the runway to something creative. That would be unique.

This is a great year round business. The airport authority should do their duty to the local economic base and find or build you another location on the property.

My dad donated a patch from Korea there. He has since passed away. Will they be displayed at the museum?

You almost get desensitized to the changing restaurant and Bar scene in a tourist area, but this one really hurts, feels like a family member leaving. Best of luck to all of you!

This is terrible news! Your food was always great and your prices were always fair but even more importantly your servers and bussers were incredibly friendly and hard-working. There was never an idle hand in the building. Yet they were all pleasant as they scurried to serve the multitude of patrons that were happy to have scored a table at your always-busy restaurant! Kudos to you for having run an amazing business! I hope you find another location nearby and welcome us all back. Guaranteed you’ll have lines out the door the very minute you open your doors for business! PLEASE work your magic again and just let us know where you are located!

If you build it….. we will come!!!

Oh no, one of our go to places for breakfast

Doesn't that building also serve as the terminal for the airport?

My heart goes out to you and your staff . Flight Deck will always be in our hearts, and we'll miss it dearly . You guys were the best!

It is with tearful eyes that I write a post for here. It brings me and a best friend sadness to hear about your closing! We have a place at nearby Seashore Campground and we frequently came to your restaurant, usually for breakfast. Patches from our Fire Companies hang on your restaurant wall that you proudly displayed! We told our friends and family who visited the shore area about you fine and fun restaurant! I can't believe we will not be able to come there for breakfast or any meal anymore!! So sad to lose something else that meant so much to us. I'm so sorry this has happened. Is there any possibility you could reopen a restaurant elsewhere nearby?

No matter what, please know you will be terribly missed!

So sorry to hear this. I hope you consider opening up somewhere new. Does the new terminal have space for a restaurant? Any other space right there on the airport grounds?

Very sorry to read this post. Food , staff and flight decorations will be missed. Our company loved to have breakfast. Please open a new place and keep the theme! It was also a big drew for the NASW

Absolutely heartbreaking news!Great place with great food, prices and service. Please consider all aspect of possibly reopening elsewhere on airport property perhaps? Spot over near the Brewery?

I am so saddened to hear this. The Flight Deck Diner (Cape May Airport) has been my very favorite breakfast spot since it opened. Can’t you crowd source for funding? Everyone loves this place.

Oh no ! Is there any way you can relocate ?

Omg this is one of the worst things I’ve ever heard! I’m so sad. The flight deck is my fave breakfast spot. I would love to see you reopen somewhere else. Please keep us posted!

Loved your food and atmosphere. Wishing nothing but the best to the staff and owners!!

I’m so sorry . If we gave a gift certificate you won’t be reimbursing us I imagine.

This is terrible news. Hope you are able to find a new nearby location and bring all the memorabilia with you

We are regular summer customers and would go to Flight Deck at least once a week in the summer and whenever we got down in the other seasons. This is just devastating

About 10 years ago I asked a local girl at Duckies where do locals go for breakfast and she said Duckies and we have been going ever since.

It truly is a place where everyone knows your name or at least would recognize you as a regular . We will miss Chrissy Charlie Jess Gail just to name a few.

We were some of your quiet regulars. We will miss you

We are truly saddened to hear this as no local business should have to go through closing their doors for good. We truly wish you the best of luck with whatever it is your future holds and we are always here if you need anything.

Are they selling any of the things in the diner?

I'm so sorry to hear of your closing! I have an 88 year old lady that often wants me to bring her there for breakfast. Her brother would bring her everytime he came to visit from Pa. It was a special time for the two of them.He passed away a few years ago. I'm wondering what will happen to all the patches that were donated as decor behind the counter. I know that he donated one of his. If they are being discarded, would it be possible to get his for her. I'm sure it would mean the world to her. A reminder or special times. Please let me know, if it is possible. Thank you!

Loved the food, the atmosphere, the staff, and watching the planes landing & taking off. If you do get a chance to relocate, can you please take out an ad in the Herald. I'm sure, you would be back, & doing well. When we went there and there were servicemen there eating, we would buy their meal.

Whattttttt . That's My favorite fly in spot for breakfast.

My 2 boys absolutely loved a breakfast or lunch with you guys before/after our aviation museum trips. This is just such sad news we will miss this spot for sure!! Pic of our last time we were able to get in for lunch in Nov for my son’s 8th bday!!

Oh no! Maybe a new location for you guys, wish you all the best

We are so sorry to hear this, if you decide to open somewhere else please let us know!!!

So very sorry to read this. I have been a customer of the Flight Deck for a long time, thru a few different owners. I wish you could find a new space within the airport to continue, but, regardless, thank you to you and your wonderful staff for providing so many years of service, hospitality, and great food!
