Got a Long Layover? Here's How to Avoid a Disappointing Food Experience in an Airport

A new study by Altezza Travel reveals the five U.S. airports where travelers can expect the worst food. By analyzing data from 20 of the busiest airports in the country, the report ranks each based on customer reviews, average meal prices, crowd levels, and the share of poorly rated restaurants. If you're passing through the airports with the worst selection, make sure to plan ahead for hidden gems or pack extra snacks. These American airports have the worst selection Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) ranks first as the worst U.S. airport for food, with 7 out of 10 restaurants rated below three stars and an average meal cost of $23.10. With the third-highest meal cost nationwide and the lowest average rating across all restaurants (2.55 stars), travelers at Newark are paying a premium for meals that consistently fail to satisfy. “With frequent delays, cancellations, and overcrowding, the airport experience has become increasingly stressful for travelers,” said Alex Andreichuk, CEO of Altezza Travel. “Our research shows which airports are underperforming in food quality, further lowering traveler satisfaction.” #1 Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) – 70% of restaurants below three stars, $23.10 average meal cost. #2 Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD) – Four times more people per restaurant than at Detroit; 3.2-star average rating. #3 John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) – 2.6-star average, 57% of restaurants below three stars. #4 Orlando International Airport (MCO) – 3.4-star average, over 113,000 visitors per restaurant monthly. #5 Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) – Nearly half of the restaurants rated three stars or lower; $20 average meal price. Key findings: You’re over ten times more likely to eat at a low-rated restaurant in Newark than in Denver.Newark Liberty International Airport is officially the worst for food in America, with 70% of restaurants rated below three stars and the highest average meal price among low-rated airports ($23.10)A shocking 75% of restaurants in Fort Lauderdale are rated below three starsYou’re four times more likely to overpay for a bad meal at Boston Logan than at Denver, with Logan’s $25 average meal priceDenver International Airport offers a rare pleasant surprise: the highest overall score (19/20), an average rating of 3.8 stars, and fewer than 1 out of 10 restaurants below three stars. The best food experiences are served at Denver International Airport Denver International Airport (DEN) stands out as a rare positive example, achieving the highest overall score of 19/20 with an average restaurant rating of 3.8 stars and only 6% of restaurants rated below three stars. With reasonable prices averaging $16.70 per meal, Denver proves that airport dining doesn’t always have to be a letdown. How to avoid a disappointing food experience in an airport Trust traveler reviews on Google Maps rather than glossy airport ads.Explore beyond food courts, as hidden gems are often hidden away in less crowded spots.Plan ahead with food-ordering apps like Grab or AtYourGate to save time and stress. How the study was conducted: Researchers analyzed Google Maps data for restaurants in the 20 busiest U.S. airports (as listed by the FAA). Airports were scored for each factor in the following categories: Average meal priceAverage restaurant ratingPercentage of restaurants below three starsEstimated visitors per restaurant per month Each factor contributed up to five points, with higher prices, lower ratings, and overcrowding reducing an airport’s score. Restaurants with fewer than 30 reviews were excluded to ensure accuracy. For full rankings and methodology: https://altezzatravel.com/articles/us-worst-airports-for-food
