I flew here yesterday for lunch. Inbound, Razorback approach was friendly and once over to tower, the controller sounded gruff. Traffic was light.
I taxied to self serve and found the grounding cable in poor repair, kinked and no handle to coil it back on the spindle. After poking my hand twice on frayed wires, I taxied over tot the ramp and went inside the FBO. Pretty nice inside and flight training was going on. You could hear the restaurant from the lobby pretty loud.
Upstairs, FlapsDown grill was open. A short bar is avail for those non-PIC types. The lunch menu is heavy on Cajun fare. I had a cup of seafood gumbo and bowl of red beans and rice. I had initially tried to order three other entrees but was told they were out. May have been do to a party of about 20 people though.
The food was pretty darn good and arrived fast. I made the mistake of having 4 glasses of Pepsi, which haunted me on the flight home
The FBO has the usual amenities, but only one computer for weather briefings. Popcorn was popping while I asked the desk if there was a ramp fee. He asked if I needed gas and I told him I bought 15 gallons at self serve before coming in. He said no problem and have a great flight.
When leaving, I contacted ground and was asked if I wanted flight following. I had a squawk before taxiing. There is a compass rose for VOR checks on the 18 end of the west Taxiway.
Departure was uneventful land at 1000 AGL I was handed off to Razorback Approach.
Other than the sold out status of my favorite Cajun options at Flaps Down Grill, I think I will fly the family up in the future.
