I flew here with a friend for lunch (Friday), since it was nice distance from my base (SMQ). The runway is immense (by my standards). The restaurant staff was very friendly, and the food was good (and reasonably priced). We've decided to go back again with other friends

I have visited the on-field restaurant, The Flying Machine Cafe, several times in 2011 with family. Nice aviation theme, view of ramp and runway, good food and good service.

Very nice airport in great condition with a huge runway. The pattern can get very busy even when flight training is not active. Helpful FBO staff and great restaurant (although I didn't visit it this time).
