My friend and I flew into Lufkin today from College Station to try the restaurant there...what a pleasant surprise! We had sweet potato tots and fries, and an order of regular tots, followed by a couple of half pound cheeseburgers! Everything was cooked exactly right: tots and fries were light and crispy (which is hard to do with sweet potatoes) and the burgers were just right, topped with the works on soft buns. A bag of chips came with each burger but was hardly necessary as we were both stuffed!
The wait staff was friendly and attentive, and we visited with some other diners, a few who lived nearby and drove over and others who flew in. To top off the great experience, the price was very affordable, about $20 total. Highly recommended!
P.S. If you ever want a watercolor sketch painting of you aircraft, ask at the diner or FBO for Lynn. Samples of her work are on display. They'd make a great holiday gift for the airplane owner or enthusiast on your list. I spoke with her over lunch and commissioned an aircraft painting for me! -

I love to have an omelet here on Saturday mornings. The place is clean and the staff are wonderful. Watching planes come and go just adds to the attraction for me. You will always be nourished and satisfied when you leave this place after eating. Their burgers are delicious and.well known as well.

If you're in the area and you're looking for a decent burger in a fun location stop by here. It's a small place, maybe 10 tables, but they have about 3 gals working so they cover the ground easily.
Food, as far as burgers go, is top notch, which makes sense if you're familiar with the concept of the $100 hamburger (if not, look it up). Patty melts are also good, and don't skip out on the sweet potato tater tots.
Price is not bad at all, the food is well worth the money. -

I never would have guessed that the Angelina County Airport had such a great little cafe tucked inside. We have driven past dozens of times, always admiring the beautiful tree lined driveway.
The cafe is relatively clean, just a little dated. My water glass did smell sour, kind of like it went through the dishwasher then was stuck in a stack of cups for a while (if that makes sense..) The staff quickly bussed departing tables. There was actually a decent crowd on a weekday around noon. It seemed like a lot of them were regulars.
The menu is much bigger than I expected: burgers, a patty melt, chicken fried steak sandwiches, BLTs and more. There are plenty of sides to choose from as well: chips, fries, sweet potato fries, tator tots, sweet potato tator tots, etc. All are reasonably priced. You can expect to spend less than $10 a person. We paid about $16 for a burger, patty melt, 2 sides and 1 drink.
I ordered a junior cheeseburger with sweet potato tator tots. I love that you can get a smaller portion size burger. It was still plenty big! They are cooked medium well and are topped with the thickest slice of tomato I've ever seen, plus lettuce and pickles. They're definitely messy!! The burger was pretty greasy, but not alarmingly so. I received sweet potato fries instead of tots, which was fine since I like both. The fries were actually awesome and I would get them again.
Once you finish, you pay at the front. We weren't in any rush, so we enjoyed watching the planes take off and land. There are huge windows along the back wall facing all the action. It would be neat to offer outside dining, but I'm not sure how loud that would be. Seems like a handful of other airport diners have done this (I'm thinking Brenham).
This is a great lunch joint along highway 59! Stop if you have a little time to spare!
