About this business
Overlooking the Peachtree-Dekalb Airport runway, the Downwind Restaurant offers a fun and affordable place to take the family or grab lunch before a flight. Airplane memorabilia and large windows looking out over the runways set the stage for an exciting meal. Planes take off and land often at this moderately busy regional airport, offering a good show while you dine. The menu is simple, featuring burgers, sandwiches and salads, along with some Greek favorites.

My complaint lies with the owner. My friend and I decided to go do Downwind, have some beers, and enjoy our Saturday afternoon catching up. We arrived there at 3pm, found a table on the porch, and proceeded to have a great time ordering Coronas. Then things changed drastically: We were approached by our waitress who informed us that the owner (who was also bar tending) asked us to leave our table and finish our beers at the bar so "people waiting inside can have our table." We were both in shock. This is first time that eith... read more

Downwind is so wonderful! – Downwind has been making moussaka on Wednesdays for the last few weeks and I tried it last night. It was the best moussaka I've ever had in thirty years as a moussaka fan! Thick, creamy, cheesy bechamel sauce baked on top just the way I love it. They did a beautiful job of redecorating the restaurant a couple months back. Don't worry, all the aircraft pictures are still there! The lovely "Peaches" sings jazz standards as appropriate reserved background dining entertainment on some Wednesdays-there... read more
great burgers; super friendly – My wife and son checked Downwind out on a rainy day. I can't believe I've missed this place despite living in Dunwoody the past 15 years. The burgers were fantastic and the service was good. My son loved it and we'll be back!

Best burgers and beer; Have no fear. – Friendly place with great burgers and cold beer. What more could you want? Service is friendly and efficient, and the extension deck over looks the runways. Our 5 year old is welcome, and can use the playground close by. Friday night is "date night", and patrons are "strongly" encouraged not to bring kids after 7:00pm. Whether this is enforced or not, I do not know. Southwind Restaurant is a place to unwind in an unpretentious environment.

Best family friendly burger joint in Atlanta. – Can't go wrong with Downwind. Once you experience it, you'll be wishing you had discovered it years before. Just don't tell everyone you know. We want to keep it a secret, sort of. Best Burgers in Atlanta with a good menu to satify everyones desires.
PAYING FOR HOSTILITY – My fiancee and I were served food that clearly was not fit for eating-in both of our opinions. When we very politely and quietly let the owner's daughter know that there was something wrong with what we were served we were met with hostility, not gratitude. We will not return to this restaurant.
