Excellent facilities and royal treatment by Roger Medlin and his colleagues. One word of caution: if you plan to rent a car, go directly through Enterprise. Would not recommend using the alternative, which is the rental department of the local Ford dealer. Enterprise rates are much better and, like the other place, they will bring the car to you.

Nice airport, friendly folks. Duke's BBQ excellent, as stated in earlier posts. Checked out the monument to the Tuskegee Airmen. Didn't know this was where they finished up their training, just prior to deploying to Europe. All in all, a great experience: Nice people, great service, a little history, and great food!

Last posting obviously outdated. We stopped 7/22/10 Very, very nice airport, nice people. Treated us like we were the owners. BBQ still fantastic also. Courtesy car was ready available and our plane was fueled when we returned from dinner. Full service at self service price. We would highly recommend stopping here.
