When you think about airport food, you probably don’t think about delectable eats. However, when it comes to Newark Airport food, it’s a different story. Ever since the airport made some renovations, it’s become a place where travelers can grab a delicious bite to eat before or after their trip. Here, we share a casual Thrillist article that lists the best Newark Airport food in each terminal:
“EWR has the best, or at least most interesting, eats of any of our area airports…
Pre-security cafeteria; Grab-and-go with tables nearby
This is the New Jersey airport’s answer to Shake Shack — with a grain of salt. Cheeseburgers smothered in gooey toppings, chocolate shakes, fries, and other fattening — but comforting — treats fly out from behind a fire engine red food counter near the pre-security side of Terminal A. Prices aren’t too crazy: You can fill up for under $20, and downing all those beefy calories will keep you satisfied during whatever hours-long flight awaits.

This is as close as you’ll get to fine dining in the airport cuisine category. Sip a glass of wine amid royal blue decor while you toss back peel-and-eat shrimp. Classy! Not only will you enjoy $29.99 plates of crab cakes, $19.99 grilled sirloin platters, and stationary airplane views; this place has a ton of outlets, so your smartphone, laptop, and other digital devices can power up, too…
Pre-security; B2 Rotunda; Dine-in
This is a must-stop for the beer snobs out there. Travelers and their loved ones can all sit and chill at since this spot since it’s blessedly located before security clearance. Sip a Duvel, Leffe Blonde, or La Chouffe, which all beat the usual Bud and Miller Light offerings at most airport bars. The food is pretty decent too. Belgian fries and cheese platters are popular, but most stop by for the brews.

Airport soba options are a rare find, but Sora has plenty of steaming hot bowls of salty deliciousness on offer. The menu is pretty thick here: Choose from maki, udon, teriyaki, tempura, salads, and other Japanese staples. Yes, an order of edamame costs $8 and some rolls rival excessive Manhattan prices, but where else are you going to find spicy shrimp tempura at EWR?

Bask in adulting vibes at this classy wine bar where the vino menu is long, and the food caters to high-brow palates. No apple pie, here. Instead, how about a $8 apple crostata? Macaroni and cheese? Ha. No. Instead, order a $12 serving of truffle penne and cheese. Vino Volo also pours $15 glasses of pinot noir from Germany, a $14 sauvignon blanc from New Zealand, and plenty of other sips from basic locales like Italy.

Hot stacks of pancakes are only available during the morning hours, which is just bad business. Many of us would gladly scarf down a pile of warm, soft, deliciousness — topped with all sorts of magic like strawberries, bananas, and bacon — at any time of day. Prices are a little nuts — it’s about $15 for a serving of pancakes with some sort of extra, but that’s the airport for you, baby!

This is a legit ramen bar with menu prices comparable to those in gentrified Brooklyn. Order off the sleek e-menus and choose from a long list of steamy options like Pork Shio Ramen for $15.50 or Vegan Soy Miso Ramen for $15. There’s sushi, too! Foodies will go crazy over options like poached shrimp nigiri and seared bluefin tuna.”
