I was in the mood for a chicken fried steak and eggs breakfast recently and manged to talk my slender wife into going back to The Hanger Cafe in Chandler, AZ. We've been to this diner before and haven't been disappointed with the quality of food. It is however a crap shoot to get seated right away. Sometimes there's quite a line out the door on the weekends.
We were in luck! The diner was busy, but my wife was seated immediately while I parked the car. She's a pancake lover and opted for the Pancake Breakfast, while I of course chose the Chicken Fried Steak, over-easy eggs, crispy hash browns and an English muffin. Our server asked if I wanted to add green pepers and onions to my hash browns, and the answer on that is always “yes.” Don't even think about it; just say “yes!”
The Hanger Cafe is a breakfast & lunch eatery located at the Chandler Airport just south of Germann off Cooper. The restaurant seats roughly 50 hungry diners and offers both indoor and outside dining. Model airplanes hang from the ceiling and wall decor features vintage flight sings and memorabilia.

We worked on our coffees for about 10 – 15 minutes till the food arrived. Our portions were sizable, especially my wife's pancakes! They were huge. In fact, many other plates on other tables had extra pancakes left over. |  |
 | My Chicken Fried Streak arrived hot and tender and buried under a blanket of gravy. The Eggs were over easy as requested and the hash browns were crispy and flavorful. Overall, our breakfast was a hit, but I don't think we've ever been disappointed at the Hangar Cafe. |
