Final Approach launches restaurant Feb. 22

GREENCASTLE -- The Final Approach Restaurant and Pub will open Feb. 22 with a new menu, new schedule and new proprietor.

Located in the Dixie Chopper Business Center at the Putnam County Airport on Greencastle's East Side, The Final Approach opens with a full breakfast, lunch and dinner menu and a seven-day-a-week schedule.

The restaurant's hours of operation are 6:30 a.m.to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 6:30 a.m. to 10 pm. Friday and Saturday; and 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Sunday.

New manager Greg Dean, a Greencastle native and formerly an assistant in the Dixie Chopper Marketing Department, is now in charge of the restaurant and Business Center.

He has helped create a new menu of old favorites, comfort foods and fine dining opportunities.

For example, dinner entrees include chicken, pasta and pork options; baby back ribs; steaks (filet mignon, New York strip, flat iron and chopped); and seafood (Atlantic salmon, catfish fillets and a signature Seafood Trio dish that features grilled salmon, crab cake and jumbo shrimp).

Final Approach lunch options include soups and salads, and a variety of burgers, sandwiches and wraps.

Breakfast fare will include eggs, biscuits and gravy, pancakes, French toast, omelets and made-to-order breakfast sandwiches. A breakfast buffet will be available on Saturday and Sunday only.

"We will also have daily specials," Dean said. "Come check things out at the new Final Approach."

New to the pub portion of The Final Approach will be a Monday-Friday happy hour with daily drink specials from 3-5 p.m.
