Fellow aviators, let me tell you about a Norfolk institution that's been serving up history with every order since 1919. Doumar's isn't your typical coastal seafood spot – it's the home of the world's first ice cream cone machine and a beloved drive-in that's remained in the Doumar family for generations. This authentic carhop experience takes you back to aviation's golden age, complete with curb girls hanging trays on your car window.
While they're famous for their handmade ice cream cones and barbecue, Doumar's serves up solid comfort food including their popular tuna salad sandwiches and hearty breakfast options like the Egg-O-Doumar. The family still gives demonstrations of their original cone machine and will share the fascinating history of this Norfolk landmark. It's the kind of genuine, family-run place that reminds you why small airports and local diners are the heart of American aviation culture.
