Sunshine & Tailwinds Cafe

Sunshine & Tailwinds Cafe, nestled inside the North Las Vegas Air Terminal at 2730 Airport Dr, is a charming American restaurant that perfectly blends comforting, hearty flavors with a unique airport-side dining atmosphere. This café is far more than a convenient pitstop for travelers; it’s a hidden gem beloved by locals, private fliers, and aviation enthusiasts alike.

The menu is a delightful showcase of classic American breakfast and lunch favorites prepared with care and a touch of down-home authenticity. Start your day with their famously satisfying Chicken Fried Steak & Eggs, where tender, perfectly breaded steak pairs effortlessly with farm-fresh eggs and savory hash-browns. For a lighter yet flavorful morning bite, the Veggie Omelet or Egg White Omelette served with crispy Sidewinder Potatoes or Hash-Browns offers a fresh, wholesome choice.

Craving something sweet? Their French Toast combos, crafted to golden perfection and accompanied by bacon or eggs, offer an indulgent yet balanced breakfast experience. The Biscuits and Gravy are a comforting Southern classic, rich and creamy, satisfying your craving for soulful fare. Lunch options like the Club Sandwich with crisp layers of meat and fresh toppings, or the Grilled Cheese & Fries, are equally compelling comfort foods perfect for a relaxed midday meal.

The extensive menu also highlights crowd-pleasers like the Chili Cheese Omelette and New York Steak and Eggs or Steak and Eggs any style, all promising generous portions and bold flavors. Not to be missed are the popular sides such as Garlic Bread, Mixed Green Salad, and Caesar Salad, alongside enticing entrees like the Chicken Marsala and Linguini Pasta, which add a touch of refined flavor variety to the café’s offerings.

Dining at Sunshine & Tailwinds Cafe is as much about the atmosphere as it is the food. The interior pays homage to the rich history of the North Las Vegas Air Terminal, filled with character and a welcoming vibe.

For aviation lovers, this makes every meal feel like a mini-adventure.
