Atlanta, Georgia - 57th Fighter Group The 57th Fighter Group restaurant closed late December 2006. As a Ga. resident and fan of this restaurant I made efforts to find the owner and learn what's going on. I was told by the person handling the restaurant that they are planning to reopen on or around Labor Day (I got this through Epps Aviation, which owns the property). Hang in there. Swing music and airplanes are coming back to Atlanta again!
The 57th Fighter Group is located on the runway of Peachtree Dekalb Airport. While dining, you watch a variety of small planes come and go from the main runway, from pipers to small jet aircraft.
The building is designed to look like a bomb-damaged French farmhouse. Walking up the brick sidewalk to the door you pass by a howitzer in a sandbag nest; through the doors and you walk a narrow hallway with sandbags stacked to the ceiling on both sides to the reception counter. There are a number of fireplaces in the restaurant and the walls are covered with photos and memorabilia from the 1940s.
They also have head sets in a few places to listen to the towers radio chatter as the planes come and go. [Roger, 08/28/2009]
Atlanta, Georgia - 57th Fighter Group Restaurant I spoke with someone at Peachtree Dekalb Airport 5-26-2009 and he believes the owner has a new tenant to run the restaurant. He said it might reopen Labor Day but wasn't sure. Let's hope it works out.

Atlanta, Georgia - 57th Fighter Group Your recent site of the week for the
100th Bomber Group prompts me to mention a similar themed restaurant we have in Atlanta known as the
57th Fighter Group. It is located at the Peachtree-Dekalb airport in Atlanta and seems to along the same lines as the restaurant you mentioned.
