Flying out for food is frequently used as "a good excuse to go flying." With pilots, it doesn't take much, and food provides a direction in which to go.
Bremerton - Airport Diner. 360 674-3720. Best on-field restaurant in the Pacific Northwest. If you fly, you've likely been here. If not, go! Drop in on a Tuesday for Beef Stroganoff, Sunday for above average brunch. Fish and chips they are famous for.
Jefferson County Airport - Spruce Goose Cafe. 360 385-3185. It's a simple home-style place with good food, great pie, friendly service. On a sunny day the deck's picnic tables offer a view of the runway and Olympic Mountains that refreshes the mind and soul. The museum on the field is well worth a visit and it's a good cause as well.
Hoquiam Airport - Lana's Diner. 360 533-8907. Be sure to call first to check hours of operation. Real short during Fall and Winter. Kind of fifties theme, decent food, view of runway. Ocean right there.
West Port - Nice little pizza/pasta place right next door to the west. Also a pleasant walk into town offers shops, an assortment of restaurants or a walk on the beach.
Tacoma Narrows - As of end of October - restaurant is closed again.
Puyallup. Pierce County-Thun Field. Hangar Inn 253 848-8446. Reliable food, a lot like a good Denny's. A superior view of Mt Rainier while you eat, especially from the outdoor deck.
Woodland State - Oaktree Restaurant. 360 225-8446. This airport is short, narrow and provides an interesting approach if landing to the north or with a crosswind. So it's a good place to go when you're ready for a new challenge. The Oaktree is about 1/3 of a mile north of the field, offering good food, a Sunday brunch that will have you leaving over gross and a gift shop to delight lady passenger (or pilots). If you walk east at the main highway there are a number of other eateries to consider - Mexican and Thai are among the options.
