Just give us a day's notice, please. There are 2 really good restaurants in the area, Chowder Ted's is a neighborhood favorite~an older diner on the water with great food, reasonable prices and friendly staff and we also welcomed the opening of Billy Jack's a couple years ago ~ a local favourite with BBQ, on the water, good food, mostly fried, good prices, fun staff. There are a couple other restaurants, too. Miss Mae's Peaceful Retreat is located about 17~20 minutes from the airport, River City Marketplace Mall, 10 minutes from the zoo and short minutes from quiet beaches and several state parks.
