KDYL - KDWH recommended midway stop?

[BravoWhiskey]

I have a few days of city hopping next week in TX and need to find a cheap fuel/good food somewhere on way down.  The fly 2 lunch site seems to not be updated regularly and ForeFlight doesn’t have a filter for restaurants on field (that’d be a nice feature I think)…

Any known recommendations for a breakfast or lunch stop?  With the headwinds forecasts looks like I might need to stop somewhere in Kentucky or Tennessee…

For fuel, AirNav has a tool that will find the cheapest fuel at the mid point or a given distance leg.

There are all the $100 Hamburger site (https://www.100dollarhamburger.com/) and Flights For Bites (https://flightsforbites.com/)

With all of them, call and confirm if they are still open.  Flights for Bites is the most recent one, so probably the most accurate, but lowest number of listings.

If the airport doesn’t have a restaurant, the next best thing is a crew car, so you can drive to a restaurant, quite a few times I have had an airport employee drive me to get some drive through food if they don’t have a crew car.

Or, pack a sack lunch. You usually get better food and don’t have to worry about a restaurant. And your turn time is faster.

A quick search shows 0A3 looks like a good candidate. Cheap gas and a courtesy car. And good reviews.

@BravoWhiskey Take a look at KSJS. Not the cheapest fuel prices but a friendly FBO and a good restaurant on the field. One of my favorites. Call to make sure they'll be open at the time you're planning to arrive. (606) 298-2799

If you want something further west check out M93 and the Southernaire Resort Restaurant, 931-721-3321. Lower cost self serve fuel and the restaurant is a short (less than 1/2 mile?) walk off the northwest end of the runway. It's a very low key "down home" kind of place with excellent food and service. Another favorite. EDIT: M93 is a VFR destination, no approaches. I forgot about that.

Cheers,
Rick

The Cloud Nine Diner is pretty good, with both fly ins and locals. We went there accidentally on prom night, it was packed with kids in tuxedos and ball gowns, watched by their parents from tables across the room. 

Word of warning:  much of the runway has about a 3° tilt to it, with several hundred flat feet at each end. Mynfirst downhill landing there, I wondered if I was going to land or not, the runway was dropping away at about the same rate I was descending. Watch for elk to the west of the fence while taxiing (BIG critters), and there are sometimes large flocks of turkeys, 'Ware the prison at the northwest corner if you fly downwind for Runway 3 to land uphill.

We went there many times before the identifier changed (seems it was 22K before), but no longer live in West-by-Gawd, Virginny. I miss flying out for lunch or supper, not many choices down here in Sweet Home . . . . ).

KMKC, fuels is not the cheapest but it's basically downtown Kansas City.  all the food/hotels you could possibly want
