Simply Suzanne's Cafe
About This Spot
Simply Suzanne's Cafe invites you into a quietly bustling corner of Martinsville, where the hum of nearby runways threads gently through the warm, familiar air. Settled just steps from the airport, this casual local eatery offers more than just a meal—it’s a front-row seat to the dance of planes taking off and touching down, blending the steady rhythm of travel with the comfort of home-style cooking.
Inside, the mood is unpretentious and easygoing, with a steady flow of regulars and travelers alike sharing stories over generous plates. The pace feels relaxed yet lively, as friendly staff move attentively through the space, bridging comfort with just enough activity to keep the atmosphere inviting. There’s a simple joy in sipping a cold sweet tea while catching the occasional helicopter lift off, or watching the airport cat make its rounds, grounding the experience in small human moments.
The kitchen sticks to hearty, straightforward fare that echoes classic American flavors. Whether you find yourself drawn to a bacon cheeseburger piled high with melty cheese or savoring the satisfying savor of pulled pork, each bite offers a solid, home-cooked ease. Portions are ample, encouraging a slow meal that stretches into conversation and quiet reflection. For those watching their plates, there are fresh salads and lighter options tucked in alongside the comforting staples.
At Simply Suzanne's, the allure isn’t just in the food—it’s in the linger. Sharing a freshly baked dessert while a plane soars and settles just beyond the window somehow makes the everyday feel a little more exceptional. This is a spot shaped by its rhythms of flight and neighborhood warmth, perfect for those looking to pause, watch, and savor in equal measure.

The atmosphere and excitement of planes taking off and landing is the biggest draw, and you can get a front row seat. Food was typical Cafe style and the staff was friendly and attentive enough. Fries we're tasty and brownie and ice cream were great but food was basic overall.

Absolutely the BEST grilled chicken sandwich I ever had. Also the creamy cheesey chicken casserole was absolutely divine. Great service. Also saw several airplanes land and take off. Even saw a helicopter take off Great experience all around. Highly recommended Everything was absolutely

Portion sizes are huge, and both of our selections had excellent flavor, and seasoning. Had enough for leftovers later in the day. Great view of the planes, and an airport cat to boot. Will be back as we only live a few miles away.

Cool little spot to grab lunch by the airport. The pulled pork was very good. Service was good. I was bummed that I was not offered a refill on my sweet tea. Overall, good experience, I will be back

absolutely fantastic place right on the runway where you can stare and watch planes coming and going. They have a great selection of comfort foods and home cooking as well as a few vegetarian and healthy options. Don’t skip the homemade desserts that are baked fresh daily. This is well worth the stop whether you are pilotor someone just traveling through. The prices are extremely reasonable and we highly recommend stopping here.

You can almost hear the gasps when food gets delivered to a table... the servings are HUGE! Everything I've tried is always fresh and delicious. Watching the planes take off and land is just a bonus.

Excellent service and great food! These ain’t your ordinary club sandwiches. Every plate that came out that kitchen looked delicious and was more than your average helping. You better come hungry. Because you’ll be leaving full! Beautiful views with planes flying in and out while you dine. Definitely a 5 ⭐
