Places to eat near Ottawa Ohio?
 
I'm taking my bride for a trip from St. Paul to Virginia Beach in an Arrow (the -6A is not done yet) and am wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a food/fuel stop in the vicinity of Ottawa Ohio?

Thanks!

Other airports in the area may have cheaper fuel, courtesy car, etc.

A nice airport cafe with good pies when I was there in July...:)

Airnav says closed on Mondays though...

Urbana as Gil mentioned has good food. Others along your route are Bolton (TZR) and Parkersburg (PKB). Carroll County (TSO) is probably a little too far north of your route.

Madison County (UYF) and Coshocton (I40) have the best fuel prices, but neither has food this time of year. I40 has a outdoor vendor in the summer.

I74 and the aviation museum there
 
:) urbana Grimes field is a great place. there is a B17 being built there along with numerous other planes of great interest in their aviation museum. the C-45 Grimes flying lab that was at OSH last year is there also.

grab the courtesy car after lunch on the field at the airport cafe and head into town approx 2 miles and visit carmazzis' deli and candy store.

Wow, thanks for all the suggestions! I wish I had more than two opportunities to pass through the area!
