I have to say that I'm very impressed by the staff at this facility. I diverted here late in the evening due to weather, I thought we were stuck but Alex came out and picked us up, made hotel reservations and gave us a lift out to the hotel. He even came back in the morning and picked us up. We were so grateful to find such hospitality! I also highly recommend stopping by in the morning for breakfast. Great gas prices, great food, and great people. Alex thanks again!

Visit in February, did not eat at the restaurant, but the FBO was very nice and modern with all amenities, guy behind the desk was very friendly and helpful.

Stopped at OBE on the 12th. Like others have said the decor has changed for the better. Our server was prompt so it must be a hit or miss. Our food was warm and good no complaints. Alex came by out of the blue and gave my 1-year-old daughter a set of wings and a foam airplane. I believe the restaurant is now owned and managed by the airport. I would recommend complaining to them for bad service or food quality. From the looks of everything else they committed to constant improvement.

Yesterday, I visited the Landing Strip Cafe' at the OBE airport. I haven't been here in a while...Wow, has that place changed. The decor is beautiful. The FBO staff is great. I fueled up and went to eat some of their famous breakfast. (Co-pilot) When I received my food it was cold, and I had no utensils. I tried to flag down the waitress, but she acted as if she didn't see me. When I finally did get her attention and she came to the table and I told her about it. She rolled her eyes and said I should have came got her. I am the customer. I don't want to have to chase the waitress around, just to get good service. I got so frustrated that I finally just left. Come on OBE I know you can do better!

Stopped in with an instrument student for lunch & fuel. OBE keeps getting better and better! Two new GPS approaches complete with new runway markings, a refurbished restaurant and FBO, properly priced 100LL and Alex Mendoza the best FBO manager in Central Florida. He keeps things running smooth and is always cheerful & helpful. OBE is always worth the stop - forget the coastline head inland. :-)

Stopped at OBE instead of usual FPR on way to Bahamas due to greatly increased fuel prices at FPR. Fuel was $1/gal cheaper, food at restaurant very good, people at restaurant and FBO very nice, and OBE has no flight schools (which can add a lot of ground time at FPR). Very well worth the 18-mile difference in total trip time. Will stop again tomorrow on another trip back to Bahamas. Just wish they had Customs so I could use them on return trip.

The Landing Strip has changed (from the previous posting) much for the better. The outside tables are back; the booths have been replaced with tables that will be to the liking of every aviation enthusiast. I won't describe them; you'll have to see for yourself. I understand the FBO has taken over the restaurant, and it shows. OBE is a great place to fuel your plane...And your belly.

I visited often while getting my pilots license and they were always very helpful and nice. The FBO is really friendly, and the gas price speaks for itself. The staff at the FBO helped with my confusion the first time I ever attempted to fuel a plane myself, and they did this without making me feel like a complete idiot. I would highly recommend this airport/FBO to anyone passing through the area.

It is refreshing to visit KOBE. The gas prices are always the best and the Landing Strip always has courteous and friendly service. People are great as well. What more can I say.

I made my first visit to Okeechobee yesterday and will definitely be going back. The Jet center service was excellent and everyone was very friendly. They even took time to show us all the upcoming plans for the airport and FBO, which will make this a truly first class airport over the next couple of years. Breakfast at the Landing Strip Diner was also excellent with good prices and attentive service. The airport will be closed for a few days starting 10/8/07 for resurfacing of the main runway, 5-23.

I had been keeping my airplane at F45 North Palm Beach till I flew to OBE. Best prices, nicest people, and excellent restaurant. I am so impressed by this place that I'm moving my airplane here for good, even though it adds 25 minutes to my drive to the airport. Good management and planning for the future.

Today, I visited the Landing Strip Cafe at OBE for the first time since February, and I'm glad I did. What a noticeable improvement. Bridget was my server. She was pleasant and efficient and made me feel welcome with her great smile as soon as I sat down. The other servers were very pleasant as well. Even the food has improved, which wasn't bad to start with. I hope they keep doing what they are doing, because it's working. If you haven't visited in a while, check it out -- they have turned this place around in a positive way!

Stopped at Okeechobee's landing strip cafe for breakfast, it was great. Just 2.99 for full meal (copilot), great and friendly service and beautiful new decor. Cheap fuel and great food a winning mix.....

I have purchased fuel for 10-15 years at KOBE and the FBO manager Alex is a great guy. Never had a problem in the restaurant and the service has been great until I read the last comments. This is not OBE style. Give it another chance. It will change I am sure.....
