    Just bring in some Texans with BBQ & Mexican Food trucks. You guys would have no complaints all week!

    Well, maybe if they didn't empty the ports potteys daily, them you would have one.

    Pretty favorable. Prices a bit higher, but you can still find bargains. $8 for most things plus a $3 soda and that's an $11 lunch. Zaugs at least had the $7 member meal.

    Found at least 2 subways. Now there's a deal. $4 for a 6" sub. In DFW, those run about $3.75, so we're right in line there. Plus, if you get a drink, the chips are thrown in for free to make it a meal deal. $6/7 for a sub, chips, and drink is not bad - plus, it's a sub, which is a nice break from the other stuff.

    Too bad that you can't get JUST an A&W rootbeer without having to get a float.

    Although the food selections are higher price, I will admit that for the most part, the quality is pretty decent.

    I did notice that the condiment stands are gone. If you want sauerkraut with your dog, I think it's a $0.50 option. Same old probs with being unable to find a place to sit during the peak times, but that's not a vendor problem.

    Need a Taco Bell / Taco Bueno / Taco Cabana / Taco John's. I didn't try any, but the Mexican offerings listed in International Plaza or whatever they're now calling Twin Oaks turned me off. They may be great, but not what I was looking for.

    I've heard some places have member meals but haven't found any yet. Going to try the Italian place up at Warbirds today, I think.

    Carl, I got a plain root beer, not an ice cream float, at the larger outdoor A&W that is in the field on the grass just nw and across the street from the tower. I also had a burger there, nothing special. Using Texas standards for burgers with 10 the best, then the one I had at the tent on the southwest part of the north 40, near the Bonanza parking was a 9. The one at the sea plane base an 8.

    I find the selection on the show site to be adequate but There isn't anywhere to find a proper evening meal in camp Scholler. Pizza and snack stuff is ok to keep you going during the day, but not a real meal. I guess it's assumed campers self-cater, but overseas visitors such as myself can't practically bring cooking gear. I don't know anyone here, so I don't get invited to Barbecues etc, so I have had to go hungry. Not a good impression....

    We ate at the North 40 café often and found the breakfast sandwich to be awesome! The brats and burgers were pretty good as well. Nothing wrong with the North 40 café.

    We had one each day we were there. Had a float one day and just plain rootbeer the two other days. Which A&W did you go to? We always went to the main one by the flight line main road.
