Best on-airport restaurant

[aviator1978]

OK, looking for restaurants that are actually at the airport. No courtesy car involved, just shut down, walk up and eat. Here are some in central Texas that I know about:

T82 - Fredricksburg
11R - Brenham
SSF - Stinson, San Antonio

All 3 are good, but the airport diner at T82 is tops.

Perfect Landing @ APA is good

Perfect Landing @ APA is good

I was just about ready to say that! It seems overpriced but its very good food.

Ponca City OK

Pretty good mexican food. Even the locals fill the place.

Cheap fuel, good restaurant, fast turn around, long runway, flat terrain with an ILS make this a popular refueling spot for x-country pilots and their passengers.

Celebrities, sports stars, and heavy iron are common sites at this airport.

56th Fighter Group at FRG, Republic Airport - Farmingdale, NY. Kick A$$ happy hour (lots of eye candy) Friday's when the weather is warm, basically Memorial day thru Labor Day.

I was there last week. Great place, the Hanger Hotel is really nice too.

Well worth a trip.

There was a nice restraunt at Grand Prarrie Muni (GPM), a few years back.

www.100dollarhamburger.com has lots of good finds, unfortunately they want a $5/year subscription now.

Anzios Landing at FFZ (Falcon Field - Mesa,AZ) is good.

 

[AV1ATRX]

Williamsburg, VA (KJGG) has a good restaurant with EXCELLENT dessert. And isn't that all we really want anyway?

 

[Wang Chung]

The Wang Chung awards (those that stand out among the countless airport restaurants I've eaten at, most of which are pretty much the same):

Homestyle Cookin': Dyersburg, TN (DYR) - Old-Timers cookin up down-home Tennessee chow

High-Class: Muncie, IN (MIE) - Richard's or whatever it's called nowadays

On-Airport BBQ: Columbus, OH (Bolton, TZR): JP's!!

Neat-O: Cleveland, OH (Lakefront, BKL): Hornblower's, which is situated inside a barge next to the airport

Yummy: Morgantown, WV (MGW): Can't remember the name, but the food was excellent and the chef/cook came out to meet the customers

Local hangout/Bar and Grill: Gross Ile, MI (ONZ): Hanger Inn, a little burger/beer joint across the street

Very good restaurant indeed!

Hummel, Saluda, VA (W75) has two restaurants on the field. One is German and the other is all you can eat seafood buffet.

It has been awhile since I've been there, but Elephant Bar in Santa Barbara was good.

The Warbirds Cafe in Driggs ID is great, and so is the collection of toys that Doc Sugden has in the hanger there.

I guess any of the 94th Aero Squadron and associated restaurants are good. I liked the wild wings cafe (RDG) when it was open. All you can eat wings for $8 or something like that. My current favorite happens to be Legal Seafoods at DCA (far north end of the airport outside security).

I still like Sikeston http://www.airnav.com/airport/KSIK because there is a restaurant there called Lambert's and it is wonderful. It is off field http://www.airnav.com/airport/KSIK but they will send a shuttle for you and if you call the FBO on the radio a few minutes before you land they will be there waiting for you and will take you to the head of the line. My wife and kids love it. Here is a link to their site: http://www.throwedrolls.com/ If I'm lying I'm dying. We've been several times and we have never been dissapointed.

Try McDonnel's (sp?) near gate B17 at ORD. Ask for the Large Mack, I don't believe it's on the menu.

 

[HAL]

The Hangar Inn, Pierce County Airport (1S0) just south of Seattle. Right on the ramp, great food, good prices. Very popular with the non-flying public too.

Also Lana's Hangar Cafe, Hoquiam Washington (HQM), on the central coast. Great burgers & fries.

[EDUC8-or]

High Jackers- Flagler County (Bunnell), FL- X47

I think Stella's closed and then became some Cajun joint, but I've heard is good.

I second the 56th fighter sq. at FRG. great place with all the goods and vintage WWII birds right outside on the grass.

I liked the little restaraunt at Carlsbad, CA (CRQ) it was on the second floor above a pilot shop. Can't remember the name of it unfortunately. All the tables had old sectionals under a clear glazing.
