I40

While stopping for cheap gas on my way to my hometown, (full serve $3.63 at Richard Downing, Coshocton Airport - I40 as of 6/23/07)...

a new outdoor restaurant/grill opened up. She said it was their first day and they'd be serving food on the weekends. The usual burgers, chips, ice cream, sodas (err pop if you're from that area, errr Coke if you're from Atlanta)... friendly bunch of folks and a nice little hangout on the weekends. They had about 4 or 5 tables set up with umbrellas.
 
The family flew to PHD this past weekend. The prime rib dinner was great! And the prices aren't bad either.
 
KBKL

Cleveland Burke Lakefront. Hornblower's is closed permanently. That's a pity. However the FBO will drive you to Karl's Inn to the Barristers on 3rd street, an excellent deli. It's an easy walk back past the football stadium and the Rock and Roll Museum and the USS Cod submarine and a great lakes ore carrier as a museum. Many other good restaurants in the area.
 
KTSO

Nice Cafe on the airport. Home-made food, pies. Not as good as 3NP in Michigan, but good. Worth the trip even from KDET.

Granny's Restaurant and the Bluebird Restaurant - TSO

Both of these are typical $100 hamburger spots, and both located near Carroll County (TSO). Granny's is on the field and the Bluebird is an easy 5 minute walk down a nice path. Granny's is famous for their pie, so save room! :) If you want to see more places to fly, check out my new free site dedicated to helping pilots find these places with less effort . www.onetankflights.com
