Just a found a new gem in Greenville thanks to my friend Austin. The next time you find yourself near the downtown airport and you are hungry (that would be 24/7 for me), take off to Runway Cafe. At the end of Airport Road Extension is the old downtown flight school now turned restaurant. What a great place. You sit inside or outside right on the runway and watch the planes take off and land. It makes for great theater. I'm told that if you drive up in your plane you get a 20% discount. Sure wish I had a plane. The food was excellent. I had their Yeager burger - angus beef or a spicy black bean patty with ham, homemade pimento cheese, lettuce, tomato. I, of course, had the beef. Delicious! They have Kittyhawk pesto chicken salad, Rickenbacker swiss/steak sauce/fried onion burger, Earhart fried tilapia, Orville Wright chicken wrap, Lindberg quesadilla...you get the picture. Soups, salads, burgers, sandwiches, wraps. Lunch and dinner. Beer and Wine. I was full and ran out of time, but next time, I'm having their fried oreos for dessert. $2.99 for 5. Burgers, wraps and sandwiches are $7 - $10. Runway Cafe is a great little place to land. TEM
