The Downwind Restaurant is a hidden gem located inside the Dekalb-Peachtree Airport off Clairmont Road. This family-owned restaurant has been cooking great food for more than twenty-five years. The menu offers four types of burgers (angus beef, turkey, salmon and black bean) and a vast variety of seafood, all of which is wild-caught. One of the newest specials is the Wild Caught Crab and Corn Cakes with Homemade Aioli Sauce.

The Downwind has three seating areas: Inside has a full bar, two televisions, and live music every Friday night; the “sunroom” is a glassed-in room with A/C and ceiling fans and an ideal view of the runways; and an outside deck puts you right where the airplanes take off and land. Frorm Friday night “date nghts” to an aviation-themed playground right outside, the restaurant is sure to please everyone.

Brewed with toasted caramel malt and finished with beechwood, Budweiser Black Crown is an ideal pairing for Downwind’s Wild Caught Crab and Corn Cakes.
