Has anyone eaten at the Country restaurant by the airport? We are trying new places and had no idea what they serve there. Anyone?

i used to go there once or 2 times a week, its not a resturant its a chicha smoking joint and they do have a family section but the food is very bad and if you dont smoke chicha you wont be able to stand staying there for 5 min. as it stinks with the smell of chicha smoke

No not Riks, speaking of the place I assume that is below the big billboard across from the family food and across from the airport at the red light. I see the billboard and I see lots of cars at night in the parking lot. We tried the Pizza Hut catacorner to it but we were the only ones in there so the cars were not in there. Best Chicken fried steak I have found was at Chilis. Best fish at Bennigans, no mexican food worth eating here. Best italian so far at macaroni grill. Rest of the places were only so so. Come on back with the comments.

If you like big Texan serving than Ric's is ok. I like chicken fried steak and breakfast there.

Else most of the time, when asked for lunch my answer is anywhere but Ric's............

We have been there...better skip it. They are supposed to have good steak but it was not really. That was couple of years back when options are very limited. Check out the Good good group for places to dine.
