    Our truck was in the shop next door to this place. So I sent my husband to get lunch. They served us the best burgers we have ever had! The fries were amazing as well. We will definitely be trying to come back sometime.

    Great place, Becka the great bartender, and a great owner! Fantastic chill atmosphere just like home. Everyone was so welcoming. We’d love to come back instead of going home to Wisconsin and their 10 inches of snow!

    Been going there since 1977, it’s a great place to have a cold beer and a friendly conversation. Owners, Gordon and Leigh are two of the friendliest people you’ll ever meet! Toby Keith must’ve had Ethel’s Old Airport Club in mind when he wrote the song “I Love This Bar”.
