Easterwood Field Airport (KCLL), College Station, TX.
Koppe Bridge - This is your quintessential $100 hamburger trip. The hamburgers are
fresh and big enough to feed two. Fries are fresh cut and crispy. Counter-staff are mostly
young coeds, friendly and cute (my daughter would say the guys are cute too). Just a
short trip from KCLL - go out on Harvey Mitchell, right on Wellborn, less than a 1/2 mile
on your left - you'll likely miss it because it doesn't look like a burger joint! Have fun.
Cafe Eccell Grill and Fresh Seafood Restraint. 8-04-2006, I flew into College Station,
on a Thursday evening and had a wonderful dinner at Cafe Eccell. The food is top notch
and so are the deserts...mmmm. The airport provides a courtesy car (first come) and the
restaurant is only minutes away. Highly recommended by this group of flyers.

restaurants. No taxi. Plenty of interesting buildings, shops and a few restaurants. The
beautiful Court House and Museum are closed on weekends.
Dallas Executive Airport (KRBD), Dallas, TX
Delta Charlie restaurant, stands for the initials of Dallas City. This is a Top Notch fly-in
restaurant/burger joint. The location was a bit intimidating to me at first, very new to
flying control tower etc. but once I made the trip, it has been a pleasant return since.
Excellent chef prepared burger and fries, and modern furnishings. Poker and other social
activities going on but plenty of room for all. Unbeatable parking space and outdoor patio
feet from your plane. Contact Executive Tower and they will lead the way, if needed.
Parking is 30 seconds away after touchdown!

Fly-in, get a courtesy car (they have two) and dine in downtown Gainesville.
The Fried Pie Co, on the square, their fried pies, a huge variety, worth the fly!
Georgetown Municipal Airport (KGTU), Georgetown, TX.
Sunday morning breakfast destination, The Monument Cafe was well worth the trip.
Friendly folks at the airport had a courtesy car available and it was a short drive to the
restaurant. Really a great breakfast with super friendly service. Unfortunately, it was
crowded and we had to wait about 15 min. but it was well worth it. Will definitely go
back for lunch or dinner.
Giddings-Lee County Airport (KGYB), Giddings, TX.
The Giddings Airport is an absolute diamond in the rough. I landed there and will return
there often. First off, the fuel is cheap! Cheaper than anywhere around it.
We then used the courtesy car to go into town for some BBQ that I read about on the
Internet. Seriously, the City Meat Market is the best BBQ I've ever eaten.
http://www.citymeatmarket.biz Try a little of everything as this is one BBQ experience
you shouldn't miss. The open pits and smoky interior is true Texas BBQ. I read that a lot
of musicians, actors, and big time celebrities frequent here. From Sandra Bullock to
Willie Nelson they all wait in line for the best BBQ in Texas.

Fly-in or drive for great food and hospitality. Enjoy friends and food while watch aircraft
operations from the patio. There are also both a CAF museum and a Cold War Air
Museum on the field. I don't think either charge admission, you just kind of wander
around the hangers (I think donations are welcome). If you need parts for your plane, you
can call ASOD and they will pick you up at the airport www.asod.com.
