Airport Restaurants With Must-Try Food

Airport Restaurants With Must-Try Food

You don’t have to dread the thought of gnawing on some greasy pizza or burger kept warm by a lamp. These airport restaurants have must-try food that will make you grateful for that long layover.

Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen
George Bush Intercontinental Airport Gate E4
William P. Hobby Airport C11
Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport Terminal A

Cajun and Creole will fill your belly here. You can also get gluten-free fare and other healthy options. But, the lunch buffets will let you sample dishes and you can indulge in praline bread pudding souffle or sweet potato pecan pie for dessert.

UFood Grill
Dallas Fort Worth Airport Gate B8
Massachusetts Logan Airport Terminal B and C
Salt Lake City International Airport E Concourse Terminals E60-E85, C Concourse Terminals C5 – C13

Even those with a list of food allergies as long as your arm will find something here. Healthy comfort food sounds like mythical idea, but UFood makes it a reality. Bison burgers roam the menu with baked french fries, sirloin tips, spicy falafel flatbread and grilled soy-glazed tofu with broccoli and carrots.

Ivar’s Seafood Bar
Memphis Airport Gate B4

It’s fast seafood, which makes some skeptical, but the attention for quality is excellent. The portions are generous and there doesn’t seem to be a dish on the menu that isn’t well received by diners. Feast on chowders, crab cakes and fish.

Urban Taco
Dallas Fort Worth Airport C22

The location is nestled amongst a few other chains in the food court, but it will be any burger. Have a ham and cherrywood bacon breakfast taco for those early morning stops or fill up on a roasted corn and lime crema for a vegetarian twist for lunch. Try the the Al Pastor with chile rubbed pork, onions, cilantro, grilled pineapple and salsa roja.

One Flew South
Atlanta International Airport Terminal E

Billed as the first upscale dining experience in an airport, the reviews support the claim. At this oasis, you can get sushi that is stuffed with pork belly or one of their other delectable ‘southernational’ creations. The establishment will also wash away the memory of sitting in the dreaded middle seat for six hours with one of their signature cocktails.

Garrett’s Popcorn
Chicago O’Hare International Airport Gate B8

Ah, my beloved Chicago has so many wonderful must-experience treats. Garrett’s Popcorn is one of those. Long before Oprah raved about the place, it was a favorite for flyers and foodie fans. It’s that perfect, crunchy snack you can stock up on and munch away the ear-popping cabin pressure.
