57 Alpha Cafe Reviews

Rating: 4 out of 5.
Flew into 57 Alpha Cafe early June 2021. Place didn't look like much, old friendly man playing a guitar on outdoor deck greeted us. He is the owner, cook and musician. He took our order and we had our meal in about 15 minutes while we chatted with a few other aviators that flew in from TN. The burgers were fresh and tasty. Nice experience and visit. Nice long runway too. Will be back for another $200 hamburger. :)

A friend and I went there today and had a fantastic meal, great airport, cheap gas and awesome entertainment. The owner makes a mean green sauce for the burrito and while we were eating broke out the guitar for a few songs. Banana pudding was amazing! It is right on the field beside the FBO and good prices for quality food. Wish there were more places like this around!

Took my 90 year old mother there for lunch. We both had salads and they were great. Got there early so we could stay inside it being a cold day. Would be real nice in spring and fall.

I fly to eat here often. The owner, Ron, is personable and the food is good. On pretty weekends, Ron entertains patrons by singing and playing guitar outside while his wife cooks. The seating is very limited, so do get there early on pretty weekends!
