SMF has two terminals, A and B, in separate buildings. Each has its own restaurants, and the airport's dining program has brought in many Sacramento brands. Check the Terminal A Dining Map or Terminal B Dining Map on the airport site to plan your meal.

Hours below come from the airport's directory. Many places say "last flight," so closing times depend on the schedule.
