About Us

Dear Friends and Guests,
At Landing Zone, we’ve been making some exciting changes — all with you in mind.
As we continue to grow, our focus remains on three key priorities:
consistency, cleanliness, and service.
To better serve our community, we’ve adjusted our hours and offerings:

• Now open daily from 6:00 AM to 2:00 PM
• Open on Wednesdays
• Serving breakfast all day long

We’re also proud to be your place to gather on holidays.
We’ll be open every major holiday except Christmas, which is our family day off.
When you’re looking for a local spot to visit on those special days, remember — we’re your kitchen too. Thank you for your continued support — we look forward to welcoming you soon!

Sincerely,
J Dalton Turner Operator, Landing Zone

The owner of the building envisioned a high-quality restaurant at the airport—somewhere guests could enjoy a great meal with scenic views of the Missouri River. Bob, who opened and operated the restaurant for many years, has called Jefferson City home since 1972 and brings over 38 years of experience in the restaurant industry. His family’s connection to the airport runs deep: Bob’s father, John Drainer, worked there for 24 years, and Bob held his very first job at the airport at just 16 years old. Today, The Landing Zone is proudly operated by Dalton Turner with McKague Millard, continuing the tradition of great food, friendly service, and deep community roots. It stands as both a tribute to the Jefferson City airport and a beloved fixture in the community.

Made To Order

All entrees are made to order, with locally sourced produce from a local farmer with a lot of farm ground all around the airport.We value the work of our local farmers and will source locally when we can.
