How was the service? Used to take forever to get your meals At lunch on a Saturday.

They were under construction on parts of it, but they were reasonably fast service wise.

I've landed there before but never been to Ricks. Was waiting for a fly out or whatever

Service was engaging and prompt. No complaints.

I've never had service issues at Rick's. Been there more times than I can remember.

Bessie's is packed for the holiday. Nice buffet and even an Easter Bunny walking around taking photos with the kids.

Yet I'm the only plane on the ramp. Guess no other pilots want to indulge in a 3000 calorie buffet breakfast! Happy Easter!

I'm happy they can fill the place without pilots! It's such a great place - wish them much financial success!

Looks great. Wish they were closer to where I’m based.

I mean... They even have got money to hire rabbits for photo ops!

But yeah, from the look of the ramp I thought it might be closed. Quite the opposite picture inside.

3-1/2 hours one way for lunch?

That's probably going to be a no.

I have to go to Pittsburgh the next day. Maybe I do this and stay an extra night. Hmmmmm.

Thought this was in the midwest? lol

Yes but sometimes we need to spread our wings

Also I have to scrub a San Antonio trip for that weekend and the only thing that can make it better is Ribs

....and the only thing that can make it better is Ribs

then you'll be very disappointed as they don't do ribs. they used to on saturdays only but since the rebuild I don't think they've picked that up again.

If it's an overnight event, I could do BQ1.
But I don't think I can do 8h of flying for a 1h meal
... And I missed my opportunity to stop by there while I was down in the carolinas last month...

Just because I'd fly 8h for lunch at the world famous BQ1 doesn't mean everyone has to. Just toying with the idea, modeling it after our Nashville lunch trip.

Fair fair... And admittedly the 2.5h each-way Nashville lunch run was absolutely worth it
