Reviews for Pilot Pete's in Schaumburg, IL
Always a good experience. I always forget to get my points with my card. Wish the wait staff would ask when presenting the... check. The food is great, fresh, good portions. We love the lobster nachos appetizer. I had chicken parmesan. Niece had Buffalochicken sandwich. Friend had coconut shrimp tacos. No one was disappointed. We all took food home! Service always great too. Satoutside and watched the planes taking off and landing. A great experience! Read more
My son loved this place with all the airplanes hanging and that were outside. We wish we could have seen more planes coming in... and going out, but overall we enjoyed our experience. We most definitely would be back again. Thank you! Read more
Let me start off by saying the food was great, the service was on the other hand the worst service I?ve ever had. Me being... Hispanic the waiters would seem to ignore us. They didn?t even bring us silverware, straws or napkins we had to ask for themmultiple times we had Christina as our waitress and she was rude and completely dismissed us when it came to service. You couldtell the difference in service compared with other tables. We sat in one of the tables by the front near the ?old phone booth?and they moved us to the back to a small table. I asked to speak to a manager he/she never came . Was there for about 45 minutesand decided to leave before even finishing our food . If your white this is definitely a great place to eat but if you?reHispanic or any other shade I?d completely stay away from dining in you?ll be the difference in service right away. Read more
This is my second time here. My first time was roughly 4yrs ago. First time, came for the experience and their all you can eat... Fish Fry on Wednesdays and Fridays. This time, had a craving for some AYCE fish fry and was so excited they still have the samedeal. I tell myself to try other options but always go back to the fish. I came here with my family... fish and of course theexperience of looking out the airport and seeing all the different planes with my kids. My kids very much enjoyed it. Therewasn't a fish fry option on the kids' menu but they were very happy to accommodate. My oldest doesn't eat seafood or rarely, buthe requested that he wanted the same meal the family is getting. The portions are very big which made the plate look superappealing and ready to devour. Let me tell you, seeing the pieces of fish (including the kids') I'm happy that this restaurantwants their customers to be happy. My oldest and husband was able to finish the plate and could maybe go for a smaller next butdecided they didn't want to over stuffed and feel like a ball rolling out this place. The soup was great. My younger kidsfinished their meal and the soup they ordered (2 split a bowl). My husband and kids said the soda was great that it was reallycarbonated. We didn't order desserts after being full. The workers were all very friendly, especially our waitress. Washroomwas clean. The waiting area with the airplane seats was a cool idea and my kids got to experience sitting in them. Although, Ididn't see anyone cleaning those seats and the surrounding of the seats, I would hope they do occasionally wipe them downbecause everyone likes to touch it and play imagination. This is definitely a cool place to check out at least once. The picwith the fish and fries is a kid size portion, the adult portion is much bigger and comes with fries, hush puppies, coleslaw,,and either soup or salad. Read more
Just recently Went on March 8, 2022 for my Uncles Birthday. I called the restaurant to ask for a Reservation. But unfortunately,... they don't take reservations. We got there about 6pm. The restaurant looked really Cool with the small airplanes surrounding it.Walked inside to find Airplane Chairs in the Lobby, Modeled Airplanes on the Ceiling. They sat us right next to the kitchen. Weordered the First Class Lobster Salad Nachos which were really good. My Unlce asked for Tobasco sauce to eat with them and theserver brought us a bottle with hardly any sauce inside. Pretty disappointed that a restaurant that big didn't have any TobascoSauce bottles filled. Anyways, Moving on to the next item we ordered. The Fried Calamari was really good and they gave a bigportion but they gave us a 2 oz container of cocktail sauce. Which was hardly enough. We ordered the Guava Mango BBQ Ribs with aBaked Potato the size of my arm. (They were pretty good but a bit too sweet for my likeing.) Also ordered the Coconut Shrimp(tasted really good with the balances of flavors. Sweet, Sour and Coconuty.) Firecracker Shrimp was very disappointing (broiledShrimp with a Siracha Mayo Sauce with Avocado, tomatoes & lettuce) didn't have much flavor. Fish n Chips were good. Giganticfish strips (tasted very fresh). We asked for Extra napkins for the table and the server brought us only one. We ended up askingthe bus boy for more napkins because there were 5 of us at the Table. The Server never came back to fill our drinks. Overall,the restaurant was ok. I wouldn't come out of my way to come back. Read more
We were seated promptly to a clean table. Our waitress has working hard to fulfill our drink requests, get our soups delivered... to our table and get our food delivered when it was ready to our table. We I encountered a issue with my meal, she immediatelytook action and made sure the dish was corrected and brought to our table as soon as possible. The restaurant decor is made upof several large model airplanes hanging from the ceiling and a large wooden plane expanding across the restaurant. Take a tripto this hidden gem located at the Schaumburg airport and perhaps you'll get to see a plane take off while enjoying some of theirdelicious dishes. Read more
We love going to themed restaurants so when we stumbled across this restaurant online we had to take the drive out there. ... The place was amazing. The drinks were fabulous, our food was delicious. So much food! The prices were good. Theatmosphere was great. And the staff was friendly. Love all the cool planes. Next time we will ask for a window seat so wecan see the planes coming and going. We will definitely be back. Read more
Not the first time we had visit this establishment. My wife and I along with another couple made plans to come out again last... Sunday. Even though the place was very busy, we were able to be seated right away. The young woman who was our server was verypleasant to talk too. We made our drink order and food order after. My wife and I ordered the chicken tender platter and ourfriends had ordered the ribs. We all enjoyed everything from the food to watching planes come and go from our window seating.Given 4 stars only because not all was hot to the taste. I think some of the food was ahead of the others, so it came out justwarm to taste. Plenty of leftovers to take home. Will be back! Read more
