Portions are quite large here. However it is towards the costly side. Food was decent, not outstanding. Was a pleasant experience

Food and cakes are great! Atmosphere is good, however sometimes it can be really crowded. It is a little pricey, but a nice place to go from time to time!

Food is good, the staff are mostly good although sometimes hard to find. Can be a little noisy but is to be expected given how large the space is. If after a funky and fun place to catch up in the GW area this is in your top 5.

Great go-to place where you're guaranteed to get a table & a good meal. Casual dining though fairly pricey compared to most casual dining places. Great selection of cakes!

Very family friendly, can get busy and very loud. Attended a few birthday dinners here and would recommend the gnocchi, reasonably priced too.

Food is nice, and the cakes are really yummy. Not a big fan of the atmosphere but it's great for large groups because of the restaurant's size. Outside area is relaxed and good depending on the weather. Global dishes and wood-fired gourmet pizza, plus cocktails, in a spacious venue

Airstream is a good option for pre-movie food, but can be a bit pricey. The quality seems to vary quite a bit depending on what you order, or maybe just the night. I've had a perfectly-cooked kangaroo steak, and a under-cooked lasagna that could have passed for a rock. The cakes are always good though, so I definitely recommend it for tea and cakes.

Super busy when we went, could barely walk.
The waiter was kind enough to meet our requests with sitting outside non smokers area, except that the smoke still blew towards us.

The food was average the margarita pizza I orders after finding no affordable option was extra plain and dry so I didn't enjoy my experience here.

Located in the heart of Glen Waverley, Airstream Cafe is an affordable cafe with lovely staff, an extensive menu and a great atmosphere. The cafe offers both indoor and outdoor dining, and the numerous meal options cater for the whole family. The cafe is most certainly child-friendly, making for a good place for a family gathering. The restaurant is huge - must hold approximately 250 people (at least), so big families are more than welcome. Overall, Airstream provides good quality food at reasonable prices, and its positive atmosphere makes for a lovely night out.

Airstream Café is a very busy restaurant in the heart of Glen Waverley. Kids are well catered for, and very kid friendly. Would only recommend if you have kids or a large group going to the movies later. Standard fare menu that would suit most tastes.

Considering that this cafe is in suburbia glen waverley, it is definitely a wow. because it delivers good quality and well executed food for its price point, in a timely and friendly manner. Go for the reliability, relaxed/casual atmosphere, and proximity to home.

This is the place I go to when I'm in the mood for western! The prices are reasonable and the food is generally good (though they do charge $3 for extra sauce when you order steak).

The atmosphere is a bit loud due to the large amount of people the restaurant seats, but other than that, I absolutely adore the spaghettis and steaks. Don't expect to talk heaps while being able to hear, as the volume is that of a busy restaurant. Meals for a family of four (teenagers, not children) is in the range of $100-$150.

Meals here are generally good but I have never been wow'ed by anything that we've ordered. I have to say that the portions are quite generous and I have not had any reason whatsoever to complain about my meal.

Mostly we've gone to this cafe because they do have some truly excellent cakes and desserts. They don't come cheap tho with a slice of cake or costing about $10. Still, they come in good portions and don't hurt the wallet so much if they are shared by 2 people.

I have to agree with another reviewer that the music is a bit on the loud side and the restaurant seats a lot of people, so don't expect to be able to have quiet conversations with your dinner date.

They also do most cocktails which are quite excellent as a treat with dinner. I've always found that restaurants which serve cocktails charge outrageously for them (about $15-$20) and this place is no exception.

A good hang out place before or after the movies. Calamari and lamb salad are decent. Chips are always crunchy and perfectly cooked. They also have a nice selection of cakes and do a good mocktail. Service depends on the night, mostly it is fine. Price is standard for the area.

Big sitting capacity for very large crowd. Waiting time is reasonably acceptable. The quality of food is average. The background music is loud at times making hard to listen to conversation. I expect more value on the food or lower price point as restaurants in this area charge very reasonable price. With 25% off from entertainment voucher, the price looks slightly more justified.

This cafe has similar offerings to most bistros and pubs and is also similar to another place we went to called Groove Train.

The dishes on offer are a mix of Eastern and Western. We had a range of dishes including a Pizza, Caesar salad and Grilled Chicken breast. The items were a good size and in the end quite filling, however were good but not exciting. The dishes here lack any buzz to the palate - it's sort of the place you'd go when you just didn't feel like cooking, but didn't really care too much about how it tasted!

I've been here twice now and still don't get why this place is so popular. Have tried many different dishes and found them pretty average. I even tried the chocholate calzone dessert once and was very disappointed. It tasted just like a bread roll with chocholate filling. The last time we went, the waitress asked if we were there to eat or just coffees because apparently if just coffees they don't have a table for us.
