Had brunch at the new restaurant, "The landings" (760.929.0200). Nice food, great service, good prices. Nice view of planes taking off and landing. Park at transient (yellow Ts at base of the tower). walk 50 yards to the restaurant. Definitely coming back.

I would alsoo recommend Western if you fly a single engine plane...very accommodating.

The tower staff at this busy airport juggles GA with jet traffic very well on top of being friendly and professional. Parked with the friendly folks at Western Flight Services today and had lunch at The Landings. Food and service were great as usual. Try thier Peanut Butter Burger!

Go to Western if you fly in a small plane (i.e. not a Jet). Despite the lady at the front desk not knowing what a Bonanza was, the folks at Western (desk and ground crew) were very nice and didn't try to stick us with high fees, like a few years back. They were happy to tow us to the $3 county transient spots next door for our extended stay vs. paying $20 a night at their spots. I did buy 10 gallons of fuel to wave their fee, but got a night of parking out of that too. And yes, the County transient spots are finally back at Palomar, but there's only five. Usually full on the weekends, but available during the week.

I found the FBO Western to very helpful. They let us use a crew car and have great coffee and cookies. Fuel is expensive.
