The Landings At Carlsbad

Very nice spot for happy hour with a view of the Palomar Airport runway and ramp. This is not just an airport restaurant. There is no need to be traveling to have an excuse to come here. Very friendly hosts with a good bar and happy hour prices. The Sculpin pour was perfect and the fish tacos are very good. Nice welcoming local airport crowd.

The Landings is a great little airport restaurant which has a varied menu with options that should suit most palates. My only criticism of the salad I had was that the dressing was way too sweet, but that seems to be the American way (I'm not a local). The atmosphere was nice, but this was a Monday evening when the weather was too chilly to sit on the patio. The bar has a broad range of options too.

Hidden in plain sight, a great place to have a lunch or a dinner.

The Landings has a fun happy hour with a rotating martini and a couple of other good deals.

The food is tasty, also, with good variety.

It's also fun to watch the planes, though it's not the greatest vantage point.

Been here for a few office lunches. Your standard salads, sandwiches and burgers on the menu. There's something for everyone. And the view of the airport runway makes for a really cool unique dining view. Patio seating is great for a nice sunny day. Servers are friendly and helpful.

This small restaurant is a bit of a hidden gem. It's located on the grounds of the Palomar Airport in it's own building next to the terminal. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. Menu has a wide range of choices and everyone in our group of 7 enjoyed their meal. It was bustling with activity when we went for lunch on a Tuesday. Parking is readily available in the airport parking lot. First 2 hours are free. There's a separate handicapped parking area closer to the restaurant. In warm weather there is live music on the patio.
