About This Place

Nestled in the historic control tower of Sacramento Executive Airport, Aviator's Restaurant & Catering offers a truly unique dining experience that perfectly blends classic American comfort food with an aviation enthusiast’s dream setting. Specializing in hearty breakfasts and fulfilling lunch options, this charming eatery elevates the everyday meal into a memorable occasion.

From the moment you step inside, you’re transported through time. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the runway, providing an ever-changing vista of small planes taxiing, taking off, and landing — a captivating view that enchants both young and old. The nostalgic decor, reminiscent of a bygone era, adds warmth and character, making Aviator’s a welcoming spot for family breakfasts, casual lunches, or even private dinner gatherings.

Aviator’s menu is a celebration of classic American flavors with an impressive variety that caters to every palate. Start your day with staples like the fluffy Biscuits and Gravy, the satisfyingly savory Hamburger Steak & Two Eggs paired with sourdough toast, or indulge in the sweet comfort of French Toast with One Egg or the iconic Pancake Breakfast. For omelette lovers, choices abound—from the creamy, smoky richness of the California Omelette loaded with bacon, avocado, and pepper jack cheese, to the hearty Meat Lover’s Omelette bursting with ham, bacon, sausage, peppers, and cheddar.

Lunch at Aviator’s is equally enticing. Try the tender and juicy New York Steak accompanied by fresh vegetables and potatoes, or savor the vibrant flavors of the Sesame Chicken Salad topped with crispy noodles. Seafood fans will appreciate the crispy Fried Catfish Fillet served alongside golden fries, while the Shrimp Louie salad offers a refreshing combination of bay shrimp, crisp greens, and hardboiled egg. The menu also hints at hidden gems like the off-menu fried rice, recommended by regulars for a satisfying twist on traditional fare.

What sets Aviator’s apart is not just its menu, but the full sensory experience that complements each dish. The aroma of fresh coffee mingling with sizzling bacon, the warm, buttery taste of pancakes dripping with syrup, and the savory juiciness of a perfectly cooked steak all combine with the thrilling view of planes to create dining that delights both palate and soul.

Customer reviews echo this sentiment wholeheartedly. Milli Mill praises the attentive and friendly service paired with excellent food, confirming the welcoming atmosphere. David Liebler highlights the unique location in the airport control tower and the nostalgic decor, emphasizing how interesting it is to watch planes while enjoying a meal. Brian Chan captures the magic of the experience perfectly—calling it “like going into a time machine,” a place where kids are entertained by airplane landings and families revel in great food and memorable moments.

Whether you’re seeking a comforting breakfast before a busy day or a satisfying lunch with stunning runway views, Aviator's Restaurant & Catering delivers a one-of-a-kind culinary adventure that stays with you long after the last bite.

    I know Aviator’s is well-known for its breakfasts -- and we can testify that it is very good and a great deal -- but I also stopped by the other day for lunch. Aviator’s is unique; it is essentially located in the control tower of the Sacramento Executive Airport. The decor is from another era and the numerous floor to ceiling windows allow you to watch the small planes come and go on the tarmac. Like breakfast, lunch is a good deal. I settled on the "Exclusive," which resembled a Philly Cheesesteak. It came with a side and I chose onion rings. The sandwich was very good,and so were the onion rings, although a bit greasy. My son had the Aviator’s burger and enjoyed it as well. Service was prompt and friendly, quick with drink refills and to ask if we needed anything else. Hearty lunch with iced tea for two and out the door for $40.00 before tip. Check it out and enjoy a step back in time.

    It’s like going into a Time Machine. Kids love looking at the airplanes landing and taking off. Food is good. Ask for the off menu fried rice. We have had private parties here too. Overall a fun place to have breakfast or lunch or rent out for dinner parties
