This place was on my list for a while and the good reviews had me looking forward to eating here.... but I gave it 3 stars. Then went to 2. Let me start off with what was good. The view of the planes coming in was awesome. The sides were good especially green beans, fries and okra. And on to the things that fell short. The chopped steak was not good.... Was an unseasoned burger patty pretty much over rice and the gravy was awful tasted sour/disgusting/rancid or like something went wrong making it or I don't even know. I have never returned a dish ever anywhere but this was not edible due to the the unpalatable gravy. My tummy cramped on and off rest of the day. Also had diarrhea which made this turn into a 2 star.They did remake it no gravy and offered white gravy on the side which was better. Most places though it would have been comped off the bill but it wasn't which whatever but still.... I have been a server before all places I worked at would take that off the check or at minimum send out a manager to talk to you and figure out what went wrong and make it right....Mushroom swiss chicken sandwich my sister got she said the chicken wasn't seasoned I tasted it tasted fine to me I think what this sandwich needs is some kind of sauce or even mayo or something. My mom got the country fried steak she said it was good I tasted it and it tasted okay... I have had better from a frozen bag and heated up in oven at my house. My drink was low half of our visit no offer to refill it. Had to ask for straws and napkins. Which the place was slow they were not busy at all....

Where pilots, airfield staff, and the general public all gather here in a quaint atmosphere where the owner is a spitting image of Waylon Jennings. Here, the coldest Dos Equis in town can be found in a frosty mug. The atmosphere can be considered a cool dive, but yet wholesome to bring the family out to watch planes on the ramp taxi around, takeoff, and land.

A quintessential airport cafe. The proprietor Hokey Sloan is a musician but also cooks up a mean burger. The burgers are made with thick juicy patties and are filling, so bring an appetite. And great prices too!

If you haven't treated yourself to this place, you are really missing something. The airplanes take off and land right by the restaurant. You can sit inside or outside, both offer a magnificent show. I believe they have live music Friday and Saturday nights, a Willie and Waylon Tribute Duo. Be sure and take care of your servers, Joy was very kind to us, as were the others. Food was good too. I got the Mechanics Burger, covered in chili and cheese, definitely needed to a toolbox to tackle that one, my friend got fried seafood, shrimp and clams I believe. They have sandwiches, salads, burgers, as well as some plates. Trying new places, spring or local businesses as we all get used to this new normal. Won't You Join Me?

Wished they had the grill fixed when we went that one day, but they didn't it is what it is, I guess. I wanted to try their Ruben sandwich, maybe next time when we go. I got their Buffalo salad it was good, and it was a big salad. I couldn't eat all of mine. They had a live band there, his name was Hokey he is an amazing singer. U can sit inside or outside. we sat inside cause it was hot that day/night when we went.
