When you buy from a mom and pop business like ours, you're not helping a CEO buy a third vacation home. You're helping a little girl get dance lessons, a little boy get a team jersey, a mom and dad put food on the table, a family pay a mortgage or a student pay for college. Our customers are our shareholders and they are the ones we strive to make happy. Thank you for choosing our independent local small business. By doing business locally, you not only get personal service and real value, you also help strengthen our local community and economy.

There are 36 entrées on the Main Hangar Restaurant's dinner menu that are one-of-a-kind. All 36 entrees are prepared using recipes that have been handed down from generation to generation.

All dinner entrees are served with bottomless bowls of fresh garden salad featuring homemade Zesty Sicilian House Dressing and endless homemade Focaccia Bread.
