Food and Beverage Service

The airport has a restaurant and lounge, named Kathryn's. The restaurant serves basic American fare and is traditionally open for breakfasts and lunches Monday through Saturday. At other times, sundries and basic food are available at Kathryn's Snack Shack, however there are no food or beverage services beyond the security checkpoint.

The airport has struggled to maintain a restaurant operator in the past. The restaurant has previously been "Das Kinder Haus" which served German food, "Dolores' Place" operated by local restaurant critic Dolores Casella, and "Runway 21" which tried to be an upscale steak house and coffee shop. The restaurant has been remodeled once in the 1980s.
