Hey so I was wondering what are some good airports in Florida with great restaurants at the airport. I know of spruce creek but was wondering where are some other great $100 hamburger spots.

The Florida Mooney flyers have a monthly fly-in scheduled.... at a restaurant...

Find Dave and Ruth... they do the organizing...

And Gary usually does the public announcements...

Best regards,

The restaurant at OCF is closed down until the new terminal is completed, probably not open until next spring.

Good advise!

A simple scroll down this section will provide you with enough good eateries to yield gross weight problems ;) So will doing a search for Florida Fly-In locations.

I would be hard pressed to call any airport restaurants "great" :ph34r:

My hands down favorite is The Hangar at KSPG. The airport is right on the bay and the outside seating overlooks the airport. Lots of great military planes fly over at low altitude on their way into MacDill, which is 8 miles to the east. Across the street is the Dali museum and a really nice marina for strolling around.

I’ve flown here once and second that.  Even though I never got to fly I nto the real Meigs field, it reminded me of that airport.  Buildings directly to your left (you’re pretty much in downtown St. Petersburg), runway built out on water, and a nice little parking garage to clear on short final to 7. Great airport.

Two other excellent restaurants are CJ Cannon's at Vero Beach. This is an excellent on-airport place which on a typical weekend is filled with locals. Parking is directly in front of the place.

Another one of my go-to places is located in Venice. Although not on the airport grounds, Sharky's on the Pier will pick up pilots if they aren't too busy. It's located within walking distance, but on a hot day could be a chore. Tie down at Suncoast (for a fee) and they will call for the pickup. The restaurant is right on the water and adjacent to a pier. Too bad we can't take advantage of their happy hour.

Most definitely. Like minded Mooney owners fly in from around the state to a different location each month, although the same restaurants are on a rotation. A good day will find 15 Mooney's arriving on the ramp.

I can second SPG. Also Venice has great walking and sitting in marina restaurants.  In addition Ft Lauderdale Exec has a great on site restaurant for breakfast. If your there stop in say hi to Edison (Wetwingologists) and it’s also the home of one of my Mooney hero’s Jose Monroy........
