The atmosphere and food were great. We had the Ruben sandwich with sweet potato waffle fries and the chicken fried steak with green beans and mash potatoes. They were hot and great. It is probably the best Ruben I have had with superiority tender meat. I knocked the service to 4 stars. It was good and the staff were nice and attentive, but it seemed more forced as a upscale place than a laid back nice place. I'll go back, so don't knock for that point. If you like watching planes, they do have seating right of the tarmac, and it is a great place for small and large parties. We could get in without a reservation, but I recommend one if you are unsure on how busy they will be.

Actually the best steak we have tried in College Station. All of our food was amazing and it was great seeing the planes!!

The food is amazing. Sitting right on the edge of the airport makes for an awesome atmosphere. You can sit and watch the planes and trainers from the flight school come and go. The staff are always extremely friendly. They do seem a bit understaffed at times, but the friendly mood of the staff more than makes up for it. always a regular stop for us when we are in town.

Amazing staff and the food was delicious! I had the chicken fried steak with asparagus and mashed potatoes. Others had brunch menu items that were also yummy! We had a large party of 12 had made reservations. We were seated right away and the staff was prepared for our group. Excellent experience. We will be back!

We came to Gate 12 during a work trip, and it absolutely exceeded our expectations! From now on, this will be our go-to restaurant anytime we’re in College Station. The atmosphere was unique and inviting—we were seated right by the windows and had the best view of planes taxiing, taking off, and landing. Our waiter, Alex, was fantastic! We had such a great conversation with him, and his service made our experience even better. The food was delicious—perfectly cooked fettuccine and crispy chicken fried steak, both flavorful, and we finished with crème brûlée for dessert.

The food was phenomenal it was on the pricer side however I think it was well worth it. I got the chicken basal pesto pasta 10/10 would recommend. We came in during peak lunch hour and the service was still quick and there wasn’t much of wait. Definitely will be back to try other menu items.

Had heard about Gate 12 from many friends and the unique experience it provides as a restaurant near the runway. Arrived around 1pm on a Saturday so it was relatively cleared out and we sat without wait or reservation. Servers were very helpful as one brought water, another bread+dip, and our main server took our meal orders. Was one of the most delightful Alfredo pastas I’ve had in some time. Finished it off with a key lime pie and left extremely satisfied.

Sunday Brunch: October 2023 This place never disappoints; the food is wonderful; and our waiter Chad took excellent care of us. If you ever come for a visit to Aggieland this is a must stop. There is something about sitting next to the airport watching planes and helicopters land on a cool morning enjoying great company.

For a dining experience that truly takes off, 12th Gate Bar & Grill in College Station, Texas, offers a unique and memorable setting that's a must-see for anyone visiting Aggieland. Located right at the airport on George Bush Dr W, this isn't just a restaurant you stumble upon; it's a destination, giving you incredible runway views of planes taxiing and taking off right before your eyes. I recently tried their Chicken Fried Steak plate. While it was certainly okay and hit the spot, it wasn't the best I've had in Texas, perhaps not quite soaring to the heights of some other local favorites. However, the food takes a backseat to the absolute highlight here: the location. Watching the aircraft against the College Station sky provides a unique and even romantic backdrop, making it perfect for a special date night or a team dinner. The atmosphere is genuinely engaging, offering a fantastic and unique dining experience that goes beyond just the meal itself. The fantastic service and the sheer novelty of the airport setting truly elevate 12th Gate Bar & Grill into a standout spot in the Brazos Valley. Whether you're an aviation enthusiast or just looking for a truly different place to enjoy a meal with an unbeatable view, 12th Gate Bar & Grill is definitely worth the visit.

This was my first time going to Gate 12 and I found my experience to be pleasant! Our server was friendly and our bartender was knowledgeable and helpful!! Funny enough this was also my first time having Salmon and it was delicious! I loved the apricot glaze. I would definitely come here again to experience the drinks from our bartender 🤭😂

Enjoyed lunch at Gate 12. The service and atmosphere were perfect. The meat on my quesadilla was a bit bland but my colleagues seemed to enjoy their meals.

Neat little place. You can watch the planes come and go while you eat. Service is good. This trip I had the Chicken Madeira plate with asparagus and side salad. The side salad was delicious! I wasn’t expecting what I got. Give it a try!

Atmosphere was good and the waitress did a great job making sure everything came out alright and keeping drinks topped off. My burger had good taste but came out on two plain buns. It was a good stop but probably won't be returning.

I wish I could leave a great review like everyone else here. We had a group reservation here for a party. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the service was decent, but oh my, was not expecting the number I saw when we got the check for the most bland food I’ve ever had. I got the grilled chicken with mashed potatoes and green beans. So dry and no flavor. I was so disappointed. My husband ordered a pasta with shrimp on top. They charged us $12 extra for 3 pieces of shrimp. My husband also ordered a Gin and Tonic from the drink menu, and they charged to put gin in it. I also want to add that none of these prices were specified on the menu when we ordered. Everyone was charged for all the sides (mashed potatoes and green beans) that were not listed on the menu. On the check, it looks like we ordered the sides separately even when we didn’t get to choose. We didn’t even know they were giving us sides. Oh also, they made us believe that everyone’s salad was included with their meal. Nope. $13 for a salad. On top of all that, they would not let anyone make any modifications to their meals. Someone at our table requested no mushrooms on their burger and they told us they would not do modifications because it’s “too complicated.” Huh???

I'd rate it less than 1 if it would let me. My wife and I were celebrating our 41st anniversary. It was my first time at the restaurant. What should have been a great time was an abhorrent disaster. 9pm reservations...waited 10mins at the hostess station only to not get a table on the runway. 2 guys that came in 5mins after us were seated there. Waited another 8-10mins for our server to show up. The 2 guys on the runway, served before us. My wife's steak burger ($25) was charred on the outside and had spots of bright pink meat in it. Fries were passably warm. My dinner consisted of a charred/burned on one side chicken fried steak, cold baked potato that didnt even melt the butter or cheese and cold Codycorn. Manager took my entree off the bill, which is the least that should be done. Offered us dessert, out of half of them. The worst part of all was having to look at my wife who was very sad that I didn't get a meal. Thank you JCody and Gate 12 for robbing us of our once in a lifetime celebration.!!!

The servers here are great, absolutely amazing hard working kids. The, what i’m assuming were managers, were horrible. The way they treat their employees is unbelievable, I heard it first hand a few times when I was in the restaurant. Maybe they should get up and start doing the hard work their employees are doing for them before treating them like crap. The food was overpriced and wasn’t the best quality especially for the price. Do not waste your money here.
