I was flying an airplane West to a new owner and chose LAN for its location competitive fuel price. I didn't expect to find a restaurant nestled in the terminal building. Back in Ohio this place would have been filled with locals and pilots needing to justify flying somewhere. Their prices are very good and the food was prepared by someone who knows how to cook. Don't pass up a chance to get breakfast or lunch in a nice place.

Great place to fly-in for a $100 hamburger or breakfast! Breakfast was solid - fluffy pancakes and crispy bacon. Coffee was hot. Service is fast. Would be a hard place to find if you didn’t know it existed though! We didn’t have lunch, but the standard fare was on the menu, burgers and fries. We will definitely be back to try that!

Very good restaurant. High quality food. If I'm in Lancaster at lunch or breakfast time, I'm going back to eat here again.

Flew in from Tulsa Oklahoma for lunch and then visited the CAF museum on the field. Had an awesome burger and salad, great lunch, certainly recommend Jack's.

I was honestly nervous about coming here, assuming it was inside a busy commercial airport—but that turned out to be completely misleading. This spot is actually in a small private/executive airport, which gives it a quiet, upscale vibe. The restaurant itself has a charming mix of historic and modern decor, with plenty of natural light. Food quality is excellent—I highly recommend it for breakfast, lunch, or brunch. Staff have been exceptionally friendly both times I’ve visited.

Clean and modern cafe right at midfield. Highly recommended. They had the nicest ladies working too. Ordered the breakfast taco, which was way larger than I thought it would be. Great views of the runway.

Been living here for over a year and never knew this place existed. My wife was told they have the best pancakes and they def did not disappoint. My wife got the pancakes and I got the breakfast bowl and the food was tasty and affordable. It's hard to find a place that offers both. Service was fantastic and food came out quickly. We didn't get to see any planes fly in but this is a great quiet place to grab a bite and relax.
