Downwind Restaurant & Lounge

What’s not to love about a cherished old restaurant that has a playground just outside its doors and offers obstruction-free views of planes taking off and landing? When you bring your kids for lunch to this Peachtree-Dekalb Airport attraction, try to score one of the outdoor patio spots—if the kid-at-heart adults haven’t hogged the best seats. Between a steady stream of light aircraft activity, tuck into grilled barramundi or a sandwich off the whiteboard specials as your child digs into the usual staples (hot dog, grilled cheese). Nothing here will inspire the youth to do a Top Chef Jr. audition tape, but the setting will have their imagination soaring for days.
