A small eatery, the Lindaire Coffee Shop, was opened on the present “Spitfire Grill” site in 1954 by a young U.S. Air force Lieutenant who grew tired of hearing his fellow pilots complain there was “no place to dine” in the airport area. Breakfast and lunches were served to nearby Douglas Aircraft workers and employees of aviation related businesses at adjacent Clover Field. Sometime later, Lindaire Coffee Shop became the Kitty Hawk and Clover Field became the Santa Monica Airport.
