To anyone traveling through the Calgary airport: there's a reason why Molson Brewhouse is empty while the sad bar version of Chilis is packed. I figured a public service announcement was in order. Anyone have hits or misses at airport establishments for those of us on the road a lot? For example, there's a burrito place at the Denver airport which is surprisingly good (and of course I cannot remember it's name at the moment). |

The place to eat in the Calgary airport is in the dining room of the Delta Hotel which is attached to the airport (actually a very short walk across the street). They also have a more upscale menu and seating if you ask. The bar food is decent as well. Very little noise, you can leave your bags with the desk of take to your table, good service and relaxing - what else did you want? |

If you're in Boston at Logan, any of the Legal Seafoods is a good bet -- you can't go wrong with the clam chowder or lobster roll, but the seafood overall is quite good. |

Yah, I always go to legal seafoods when I visit boston. Am consistently surprised at the quality for an airport, where even the most trivial of foods can get ruined. |

The bbq is above average at 'Salt Lick' in Austin International. They run a stellar operation west of Austin that is visually stunning, rarely done anywhere, with B+ results; to get that in any airport is a bonus! It is not great but considering everything it is a very nice bonus. |

If I remember correctly, the airport in Boston (Logan) has a Legal Seafood restaurant, which is pretty good airport food and SF Airport has lots of local outlets. I don't travel as much as I did when I was working, so I am out of touch. Ilene |

Oh, you would ask this. Only Frank will have a longer list than me, I think. Airports To Have a Good, Full Meal In:
Airports to Which You Bring a Bag Lunch:
Meh:
Good places to eat at SFO: Terminal 2 Food Court & restaurants. Firewood Cafe' (pizza). Yankee Pier in Terminal 3 for breakfast. Take-out sushi places. Harbor Village dim sum. Max's To Go. Vino Volo. Andale grill. Not-so-great places in SFO: Anchor Steam or Gordon Beirsch pubs. Loris' Diner. The Buena Vista. Hi-Tec Burrito. Good Places at other airports:

Yup, Vancouver (airport that is) is a wasteland for food. I've been trapped there enough to feel bitter about it. If only the Delta in Calgary was inside security. I never have quite enough time between flights to go out and back. Minneapolis is pretty good. I generally have a good time on plane changes there. I had some good pulled pork in the Raliegh airport too. I can't say that Atlanta or Houston had great food. Ilene, I think Cantina grill is the place. Huge, tasty burritos. Not sure what the new Winnipeg terminal is going to offer quite yet, but from a quick look, they seem to be leaning towards local favorites (so outlets of small, locally owned restaurants): Stellas bakery (great breakfasts and baked goods), Gondolas pizza, and Salsbury house (this is probably best avoided...it's beloved to those who have childhood memories, but is a cafeteria-quality burger joint). |

Boy...they all run together...will update further as I can, will be in Fresno and Detroit next week. Denver I like Wolgang Pucks (will eat lunch there next Monday), Dallas I go to Riata in the International (D) terminal, it's upstairs and has a GREAT area just outside the restaurant with big chairs to relax in between flights. Doesn't really matter what terminal you are flying out of, the tram will get you there in just a few minutes. (Some) Airport food really has improved greatly in the last few years, I actually look forward to a few places. There used to be a good Legal Seafood in Washington Reagan (DCA) but I heard they are not there anymore. |

Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen in Houston's Bush Airport concourse level in Terminal E http://www.pappadeaux.com/location/?id=40 gate 3 (upstairs) is worth seeking out, there is better seafood to be found but not in an airport...it's one of my regular stops.
