Airport Drive-In Restaurant

Prefect lunch spot in these trying times. Drive up, and a waitress comes out, takes your order, and is back in a flash with hot tasty food. Place was packed so we took our lunch for a picnic to the Mayo State Park up the road. Wife had the sliced bbq sandwich with hushpuppies and fries. I went for the flounder sandwich with puppies. Flounder was hanging all off the bun it was so big. Crispy fried, and the tarter sauce was wonderful. The sliced Q was heaping, and the wife loved their Cole slaw. Nice smoky flavor with a tangy sauce on the side. The puppies, and fries had sat a while so I can't give them the proper evaluation until sampled directly from the fryer. Drive ins are booming right now, so frequent your local folks. I recommend these guys for sure.

Not fancy, but a clean, friendly place with good food. They have daily specials M-F for lunch (meat and a selection of vegetables). My favorites, homemade hamburger and the meatloaf. If you haven't, give them a try.

Classic diner feel, with absolutely fantastic food! Love coming to this place. Just make sure to bring cash, because they do not take cards. There is an ATM, but it isn't your banks (so yeah, fees). Otherwise, the staff are absolutely wonderful, and attentive. The food is absolutely amazing and the prices are a fantastic value for what you're getting! Make this a stop!

If you are in the Mayodan area, perhaps to visit the fledgling Mayo River State Park (more on that later), then the Airport Drive-In is not a bad place to grab lunch. As is my custom, I had the “Homemade” version of their cheeseburger, and it had a good flavor, complimented beautifully by chili, slaw, mustard, and onions. The fries were good and were not traditional diner fries, but appeared to be hand-cut. The real stand out of the lunch was the hush puppies. I’ve never had hush puppies like this: long tubes as big a round as a roll of dimes (see photo) — they were delicious! Frequented by locals, some of the country banter is irresistible. Earlier in the day, I visited the nearby Mayo River State Park, which is still under development. Right now it exists in several parts as North Caro

came in at a slow time watched several people that came in after me get their orders. I ordered 2 eggs over medium, sausage and toast with grave. eggs way over cooked and that wait time on the food. never again!!!!
