Just what you want from an airport restaurant

Great little place to get a burger. The owner is really accommodating and if your lucky, he may even pick you a tune on his guitar.

What a wonderful little cafe. Had the bacon cheeseburger and it was by far the best I’ve had in this county. Wish I would’ve found this place sooner. Cash only but everything is hand made while you wait. I have eaten there two days in a row and can’t wait to go back.

Spend some time on the porch watching the planes come and go. Enjoy your cooked to order meal - Ron's specialties. The pork verde burrito is highly recommended as is the taco salads, our personal favorites! Pickers on the porch sometimes! Great little place and experience.

This was my first stop just for fun and not a specific flight training lesson. Fantastic food and service! A great stop for a bite to eat.

This small restaurant is a Hidden Gem. The food is absolutely stellar. Portions are too. The owner was extremely nice and seating outside is great. Definitely 100% would recommend.

Great food, cooked to order. Delicious! Burgers and Mexican- if you like either, give Ron a try. And save room for the banana pudding- like you've never had it. Definitely one of those hidden gems. Keep waiting to see it on "Diners, drive-ins and dives". But don't come if you're in a hurry.

We love flying there from Charlotte on Weekends for lunch. It's a short hop and you can park the plane right in front of the restaurant. Decent and varied menu and the food arrives quickly. Nice covered outside deck with view of the airport and a few tables inside also. Clean restrooms. Ron is a great guy and treats you like a VIP. Just remember to bring cash (no credit cards) but Ron will keep the tab open for you until you fly in the next time in case you forget!
