Fresh as Can Be

"Took an 8 minute drive from downtown Rogers to the airport to try one of the hidden gems in NWA. All the food looks great. The Pimento Burger was the best burger I've had in a long while! Fresh as can be, and the service is calm and polite. Sit outside on the comfortable patio if you want front row action to take-offs and landings! Highly recommend."

- Branden L.

We Love This Little Place

"We love this little place. It is usually quiet. Food is great - the fries especially, and the staff very friendly. I love the Rueben Rolls appetizer as a lunch, or if I am really hungry, the California Wrap with fries. Kids meals are only $6. Great options for all. One review calls the Cockpit Cafe a hidden gem. I couldn't agree more."

- Victoria M.
