The burgers and shakes are wonderful, the hospitality extended by Jack & Janet is superb!! Keep up the great job you will need more ramp space at this pace.   From Patrick Napolitano on 22-May-2008 Passed thru on April 13, 2008 flying a Starduster Too from MS to Ca. Jack and Janet are great. Stayed a little over to wait for me. Gave me a ride to and from airport. Great FBO regardless of any price. Service is priceless. Thanks Again!!!!!!   From Dr. Kevin Larks on 04-Dec-2007 I (We) have flown to 11R many, many times over the past 8 years and have NEVER been disappointed with the FBO or the diner. Jack and Janet are always cordial and run a clean, top-notch operation. The mechanics on the field dropped what they were doing to help us with a broken battery lead one time - and then they didn't even want to charge us for their trouble! The pilot's lounge is very nice with all amenities and quiet room. The 50's diner is great...Poodle skirts, jukebox, checkered floor, and all. Be sure to check your weight and balance after eating their chicken fried steak..... You might just be over gross weight! It's a great place to fly to or stop over at. What are you waiting for? All these positive comments can't be all wrong! GO!   From Mark Bell on 28-Oct-2007 My wife and I flew in for lunch and were greeted at the ramp by someone to help us park. Lunch was very good and the restaurant was very busy even at 2:00 on a Sunday. Though the service was a little slow, the wait staff was very friendly and worked very hard. Highly recommended as an en route stop or just for a $100 hamburger!   From Dave Caffey on 28-Sep-2007 Stopped in for fuel and food on the way to Critter's Lodge fly-in. I was met at the SS pumps and helped with fueling my 172. The gentleman was going out of his way on a hot afternoon on HOT blacktop to be sure I got what I needed in the quickest time. Meanwhile a friend was also getting fuel in a Cherokee 6 and couldn't restart it. This gentleman may have been the owner (too old to be a ramp rat) and he did everything he could, jumper cables and contacting a mechanic, to help my friend get back in the air. Good fuel prices are a great thing, but, courteous service from someone who really cares is a rare thing. Thanks Southern Flyers.   From Ralph Scargall on 15-Sep-2007 Outstanding XC fuel stop. Good GPS approaches if needed. Very low fuel prices. Very, very good food. Houston Center freq remote nearby. Highly recommend.   From Charlie Thompson on 02-Jun-2007 Flew out for lunch today. Great line service and friendly Poodle Girls at the classic old time soda fountain. Great burgers, nice screened-in dining porch and pleasant view of the little lake. A pleasant stopover!   From Randy Perry on 21-Apr-2007 This is a great stop. The food is excellent. The wait staff is friendly. The food is good and came quickly. They even have lunch portions at a lower price. The self-serve fuel is convenient and reasonably priced. Don't hesitate to make this a stop!   From Randy Perry on 21-Apr-2007 A great stop for food and fuel. The wait staff was extremely nice. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. They even have lunch portions at a lower price! The self serve gas pump is very convenient. Don't hesitate to stop at Brenham!   From Matthew Sisson on 02-Apr-2007 Great airport, I was flying on my first solo x-country. I decided to stop by. The restaurant was already closed, but o'well. They have an amazing pilots lounge. The airport facilities were top notch. Definitely a great place.   From Jeff Kinman on 28-Feb-2007 We flew in one of those "little planes" and were treated like royalty. Good fuel prices, good ramp service and a top-notch FBO facility. Excellent restaurant with very good burgers and shakes. Brenham is a little small town and doesn't have the big-city amenities a lot of pilots are used to, so be prepared. It's small-town Texas flying at its best! We can't wait to go back.   From Mike Paris on 20-Nov-2006 We were in the neighborhood so we stopped in because we heard the waitresses all wear poodle skirts. Well the stories were true. The food wasn't too bad either. This place is well worth the stop.   From Carl Chitwood on 29-Oct-2006 I stopped for fuel back in July (I'd hoped I'd cool off by now). I asked about a taxi. No taxi! I asked about bus service. No bus service! I asked if I could catch a ride with Jack, but he was headed the wrong direction. I was told I MIGHT be able to catch a ride with the local Sheriff! (Did I look THAT bad after flying all day?) By now, tired and hungry, in unfamiliar country, and getting dark soon, I asked if I could just sleep in the plane. Jack seemed to hesitate, but agreed. Luckily I had a sleeping bag, and slept on the ramp under a wing. I was never offered a courtesy car, and since Jack had plenty of chances to offer, I wasn't about to risk further insult by asking! Frankly, I felt I was snubbed because I arrived in "one of those little planes”.... A Cessna 152 I was delivering to California from Florida! Nice looking FBO, but I won't be back, even in the company Citation!   From Steven Fingerhut on 14-Oct-2006 My wife and I have been to the Southern Flyer dozens of times. We have been flying there since 1999, before the restaurant was built. Once again Jack and Janet did an outstanding job. There are bigger FBOs but none with more amenities, better maintained, friendlier, or better priced. It is THE place to go when you need to fly a mission (eat.) The large numbers of planes and citizens of Brenham that dine there every weekend evidence this.   From Will Beever Jr on 01-May-2006 Great FBO and restaurant. Credit card pump is operational so fuel is available 24/7 at a discount over full service.   From Keith Stephens on 25-Apr-2006 Had heard about the great restaurant at the airport. October 2005 flew my wife and her girlfriend up for lunch from EYQ. The food was great and the service was wonderful. The weather was perfect and the airport was very nice. We will be back with more friends and family to enjoy the great food. Well maintained facilities.   From John Baley on 05-Feb-2006 Very nice people with a good restaurant. We enjoyed their quiet room while we waited out a thunderstorm on 1-22-06   From Sam Matta on 28-Jan-2006 Great FBO. Jack gets it done. Favorite destination out of West Houston for burger and fuel. Ron is one of the best mechanics in case the plane breaks.   From Mark Smith on 03-Nov-2005 Great overnight stop. Landed at 8:30 PM and had a wonderful dinner at the airport cafe. Got a ride to a B&B near by with the Innkeeper. Fuel up was easy the next day. Nice folks all around.
