The Downwind Reviews

Rating: 5 out of 5.
I'm based out of KPDK and I eat at the Downwind all the time, so I may be a little biased, but I highly recommend this place. The burgers are wonderful and they nearly always have a special that's also worth it. If you park at Epps, they'll buzz you in and out of the building where the Downwind is located.

Excellent food. Right on the airport. The URL listed for this place is wrong - it should be http://www.downwindrestaurant.com
The URL listed is for the nearby 57th fighter group restaurant.

Located next to Epps, this place has the best burgers around. The Downwind has a deck that overlooks the taxiways and runways of one of the busiest GA airports in America. Varied menu offers something for everyone for lunch and dinner. Again... I LOVE their burgers!!!
