You don't go to The Landings for the food... you go for the ambiance! Nothing better than live music under a great sky! We did enjoy our food options--salad, tuna melt, turkey sandwich, chicken piccata. The drinks were good, also! Definitely worth checking out and staying until the sun sets! Reservations recommended.

If you have never been here for one of their concerts you need to go and try it. We have been a couple of times you need to make a reservation they fill up. We enjoy cocktails and dinner and a good time. The brussel sprouts are delicious and my husband and I will share one of the entrees. The service was very good people are friendly and food is very delicious.

Excellent staff and service. We were there when it opened so not very busy. Food options were promising, but flavors were less than expected. Just not what you'd want or expect for the higher $20per person price. Good, but needs to be better. Also the fries and sandwich bread wasn't crispy or toasted enough. So flavors bland and textures limp. Parking was minimal. There's a tiny 2hr lot for free, but I'm not sure where you'd park if the spots were taken. Inside and outside seating available. Umbrella shades outside. AC inside. Kid friendly. View of the planes were good.

The new owners have taken this restaurant and given it an incredible upgrade, and they aren't even finished yet. The hamburger i had was one of the best I've ever eaten. My wife went in for French fries but came out with sweet potato fries that were cooked to perfection. Can't wait to see what else they have to offer in the coming days.

Disclaimer: I'm a foodie and eat as much as possible at farm to table/local producers style places. If you eat normal grocery store food and eat at chain restaurants, you'll be fine here, as the 5-star rating are. Grabbed a bite before a flight. The food is very average. Shrimp cocktail was weak for the price, just a few flabby fairly small shrimp. But it took the edge off my hunger. Asian chicken salad was also very average, but not "bad" in any way. Service was fine, he knew we were leaving soon so he kept it moving, thank you. Nice to be outside next to the airstrip. Probably best for a drink?

I have been coming here for years. Alex has remembered my name and my drink and my meal everytime I come in even if it has been months passing of time because I work in several locations. I always make a point to bring myself and friends to this location and we are never disappointed in the food or the service. I know Alex directly from his service but I have also been helped by the rest of the staff and everyone is amazing and on point. I recommend this place to everyone. Thank you for the great food , atmosphere, and staff that is on point! Special shout out to Alex! Thank you so much. See you guys soon!

My son wanted to watch planes take off and land, and we got to enjoy some tasty pub burgers out on the patio. Servers were attentive. Food was hot and fresh. Prices not surprising for location. We had a nice lunch at The Landings.

They never answer the phones, phoned on multiple occasions on a Sunday no one ever answered the calls. I was curious if their patio was pet friendly. It is! Unfortunately the service was subpar. We had a dog so we could only sit out in the patio. The menu I received was outdated as I tried to order the Lobster Roll but was informed it was no longer available. Our server was an older white woman who completely forgot about us even though we were the only table out on the patio. When it came time to ask for the check the server was no where to be found then appeared from the airport area, we asked for the check when she came out and once again disappeared for almost 5-10 minutes again. We could see her wandering inside the restaurant so we finally had to go in and settle the bill ourselves as she never came back out to us. Had previously loved this restaurant for the view but after this experience would not recommend to anyone.
