Falcon's Nest

The burgers here are great. Very unique tasting. Its definitely a Worcestershire type of seasoning to it. Really good. You don't expect to get great BBQ at a place that isn't promoted as a BBQ joint. I was kind of weirded out that I was brought a plate of meat and not given a knife. But you can eat this brisket with just a fork. It's that tender.

NOTE: Looking back at menu pictures already on google, I regret not snapping pics of the menu during our visit. Much of what is on google reviews looks like outdated menus. The cocktails we had, I did not see on google menus. Some of the food items (dessert in particular) have changed from these old menus as well. From pictures we saw of this place, it looked really cool. We drove an hour just to check it out. It is located on resort property but there isn’t a hassle or gate to get to it, just some one-way roads and you need to drive sort of slow as there are people likely walking around by the mini golf and nature center adjacent to the restaurant. You walk up the ramp to get to the main entrance off to the right (not via the front deck) We were seated immediately (Sunday around 5pm mid-August) Our waitress was friendly and upbeat, smiling almost the entire time we were there, took away dishes as we were done & offered refills whenever she saw a drink low, and before she took our order she did ask if there were any allergies the kitchen staff should know about. (Thank you Andrea!) We got a couple of cocktail drinks, the kids got sodas, we had the tater tots for an appetizer- sour cream requested on side instead on top was fulfilled. Our two cocktail drinks were tasty - the Key West was amazing. The one my husband had with the jalapeños in it definitely had a good bite lol Our meals came out in decent time. All was pretty tasty. Our son loved the Falcon burger and my husbands Afterburner fish sandwich was also very good. I was a little disappointed in how many chunks of fat were included in the chappie (pulled pork sandwich). Yeah it helps with the juiciness when cooking but kinda blands out the flavor when actually eating it (imo.) our daughter had the kids foot long hot dog with fries. Let me first preface with she is a picky eater to begin with, doesn’t do condiments for anything. So her hotdog was plain and fries eating without any dip. She ate maybe a third of the hotdog - without bun. The bun on these hotdogs is a sort of toasted bread, so not soft/squishy like traditional hot dog buns. It was crunchy. She did not eat much of the fries either, which my husband & I sampled ourselves and they were pretty unflavored. Looked like maybe salt and/or Parmesan sprinkled on them but they didn’t tasted salted. Just blah fries. Other sides we had: Mac n cheese, very good! Baked beans, tasty but would have preferred without the fat chunks. Corn bread was rather dry, meh. But I digress to dessert! The shakes from pictures online definitely had our kids interested lol They both ended up ordering the same one - Oreo- and my husband ordered the bomb cheesecake. The SIZE of these things! OMG!!! I included a picture of the shake glasses compared to the standard drink cup. And the cheesecake was the size of a small tart and very lemony but good! The kids ended up taking half their shakes in a to-go cup because they couldn’t finish them. The top 1/4 to 1/3 is purée whipped cream too lol We definitely plan to return again, especially with some plane fans in tow. ALTHOUGH I think we will try to request a spot in the middle of the building if we can. We were a bit disappointed that all the super cool decor we saw in online pictures was only in the center of the building in the bar area. The adjacent rooms of tables you can’t really see it all as well but we did have a nice view of outside and other frames memorabilia to look at (albeit much of it pretty faded)

Been going there for 20+years...yes, 20! Not many restaurants survive 20 AND, mftaintain excellent quality, service & atmosphere. The original concept was burgers with an aeronautical theme. The then GM was a pilot and asked locals for photos and stories of that theme. So.... Get yourself a 'cold one' and walk around the room and learn some interesting facts & history from commercial aviation to war times. This photo is of my Dad a WWII Air Force flyer who saved the life of a crew member and was later awarded the Silver Star for bravery by Jimmy Doolittle then USAF Chief of staff and himself a war hero.

What a beautiful place!! It is decorated with an aviation theme, very well done. It has a nice and comfortable patio. The interior room is well distributed and the decoration is the best. Television everywhere to enjoy the best games, good atmosphere, efficient staff and American food without too much surprise. Interesting and quite local atmosphere.
