Hard Eight Bar-B-Que, SEP submitted by Jack Plonien (3/06)

Restaurant Name   Hard Eight Bar-B-Que
Menu Type   BBQ
Price Range   $8 - $15
Transportation   near-airport
Rating   9
Notes   I just found the best Bar-B-Que in North Texas. I flew with a friend to Stephenville, Texas, Saturday because so many local pilots were jaw'n about the Hard Eight Bar-B-Que pit near the Stephenville airport (SEP). It was even featured on the EAA Wings to Adventure national aviation TV program (Episode 1)last year.

The short version... yep, the best!

Rather than me taking a lot of web space telling about the restaurant, I will just add this link for you to read yourself:

The airport has three golf carts for driving on a dirt kart path a short distance to the restaurant, but we called the telephone number posted on the side of the FBO's building and in less than five minutes, a pretty little blonde in a pick-up truck pulled up and took us to BBQ heaven. I did notice we used about 400 more feet of runway for the take off after eating there!!!
