Late 1980s
Kim Evans opened the original Airport Inn on Airport Road. A neighborhood bar and grill where everybody knew your name.
22 Years of Travis
Travis Evans took over from Kim and ran the place for over two decades. The wings got famous. The regulars became family. If you walked in on any given night, you'd know half the room.

Fire. Everything gone. The building, the kitchen, the bar — all of it. But 2,500 people reached out to Travis personally. The message was the same every time: rebuild. We want you back.
April 2020
Brand new building. Same address. Reopened in the middle of a pandemic because that's what the neighborhood needed. New construction, same soul.
February 2026
Travis retired. But the Airport Inn didn't close. The people who worked the kitchen, tended the bar, and knew every regular by name — they stepped up. New ownership. Same wings. Same heart.
