I believe the 94th Aero in Columbus, OH is still open …

Grimes Field in Urbana, OH where they are restoring the B-17 and the meeting place for various past reunions for the Doolittle Raiders Reunions (B-25's) has a Restaurant as well.

Do any restaurants immediately adjacent to an airport with just a few aviation signs or prints on the walls qualify? There's probably one of those for every other airport in America, I'd bet...

The Perfect Landing at Centennial, CO (KAPA) is a must-visit. Not a ton of "aviation" stuff, although at one point Joe Thibodeaux had his Silver Cup from Reno on display there and there's plenty of pics of the local planes and pilots from over the years.

The Taxiway Cafe at Lancaster, TX (KLNC) is another good one. Plenty of pics from the history of the airport, including many former occupants of the CAF hangar up the way.

Aircraft is still there, website indicates new restaurant coming soon, which could mean anything.
