Our restaurant is noted for excellent food
and service. We are located just a short distance from Griffin,
Georgia (10 minutes west) on a small airport. The travel distance from
downtown Atlanta is 1 hour. We are noted for our fresh hamburgers, baby
back ribs, and desserts. All of our desserts are homemade. You can
also place a dessert order to be picked up. Please plan to join us for a
great dining experience. We share our building with an antique museum
housing old automobiles and old airplanes. Please go to www.candlerfield.com for more information.
The
history of Barnstormer’s Grill is varied and colorful! and actually
begins when David Harwell’s two daughters ran a sandwich snack shop from
the original building ‘up on the hill’ next to David’s workshop. They
worked there on Saturday’s while they were in school. Because it was a
favorite hang out for pilots, the business was great for the girls
spending money! The sandwich shop became a restaurant and remained in
the same small building with seating for about 40 people. This tiny
space continued to be gathering spot for pilots of small aircraft and
bi-planes. The operation hours were Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

In
2005, Ron Alexander, a retired Delta Captain, bought the Peachstate
Aerodrome. At this time, Ron had laid the ground work for Candler Field
Museum and Peachstate Aerodrome was home for fly in events to support
the new museum. The continuation of Barnstormers Grill was a possiblity
as the previous owners released their ownership. The goal of the
museum founder was to encourage the public to remember the 1920’s era
when life was on an upswing and flying was a new and interesting part of
life, and to create an exposure to aviation in order to interest young
people. Aviation with its bi-planes is a vital part of our heritage,
and he wanted to keep it alive through the museum. The grass runway
lends itself to antique bi-planes and the events promoted rides
barnstorming style along with demonstrations about how the bi-plane
trainers dropped the bombs( 5# bags of flour) during WW II.






In July, 2007, Trudy Gill came to work at Barnstormer’s Grill. She
brought with her a wealth of knowledge about food service and catering.
Her goal was to help Ron Alexander and the museum board put the museum
and the restaurant ‘on the map’. Later in May of 2008, she partnered
with Ron Alexander as one of the owners of Barnstormer’s Grill and
moving the grill to the new building along with the museum became a
reality. The contractors poured the foundation of Candler Field Museum
and Barnstormer’s Grill across the runway in the middle of 18 acres in
August of 2007. And so the construction began. While still in the old
location on the hill, Candler Field hosted its first annual Veteran’s
Day event in November 2007 honoring all the branches of the service.
The service featured a guest speaker along with the missing man
formation and taps. This annual event is a favorite among the local
people.


On
August 28,2008, Candler Field Museum and Barnstormer’s Grill opened
the doors in their new location. The restaurant faced the runway with
windows on 2 sides, a patio and an upper deck for viewing.
