Bar Brace
Yuck, gross, awful, nasty, foul, revolting, and vile and anything else you could think of that would describe the food I received at Bar Brace.
I've been spoiled at DIA with having exceptional food to choose from in all the terminals and La Guardia needs a complete overhaul on all food being offered. Here's a hint La Guardia, you could make a whole lot more money and keep people happy if you offered edible food by the terminals.
The $13 pre-made wrap I ordered looked fine enough (I wasn't expecting much) and since I was arriving in Denver after 8pm I was just looking for something to fill my tummy, nothing more. It was by far one of the worst things I've ever put in my mouth.
My advice: Order on the plane, eat before you leave or starve!
The fact that I can order and pay on an iPad is cool enough to deserve a review from me. They have plenty of great beers and snacks to keep you busy while you wait for a flight. The service was pleasant also…cheers!
They are all the same in Delta terminals C and D. They really don't vary that much in the food they sell, and they all sell it at ridiculously exorbitant prices. Tip: bring your own meals and snacks at airports, especially LGA's Delta terminals.
Ok, I've eaten here twice in the past six months and both times were good. First of all, I have to say this is the coolest airport terminal I've seen! iPads everywhere that let you relax and order food and drink from among a few nearby eateries, and also play games or read the NY Times.
My first visit, I saw cacio e pepe (pasta with cheese and pepper- mmmm good!) on the overhead menu, which has become one of my favorite dishes. I ordered it but was then told it's no longer available but the menu hadn't been updated yet. But then, she asked the chef if he had everything to make it for me anyway and he said YES! I ordered it with a nice Chablis. It wasn't the best cacio e pepe I've had, but they got points for going off-menu in an airport eatery.
My second visit, I decided to try one of the many paninis they sell. I don't remember which one I got but it was quite good, especially with a glass of red. Each visit was finished with a solid double cappuccino.
It's difficult to use Yelp for airport dining because I never know if the previous reviews are using the airport food-weighting scale or the real world scale? Since it's not really an option to exit the airport during a flight connection, I use the airport scale. A four-star in La Guardia is not the same as a four-star in Manhattan, but for comparison, the Burger King gets two stars. Hope that helps!
Ordering from an iPad, having someone ask me if I may have ordered red wine (that was already paid for on said iPad) left little to be desired for me. Someone else could have easily said my wine was theirs and enjoyed it given how busy the terminal was.
I had heard people complaining about the food not being that great, so I did not even partake even though I was starving. I will give kudos to Delta… their terminal at Laguardia is wayyyyyy better than I remember, but some things still need to step up a tad.
Bar Brace will not be embraced on my next visit to Laguardia… but Crust certainly will.
Fresh food quick. Order and pay right from your seat at the bar. Pizza, sandwiches, salads and cocktails (or coffee if you've had too many cocktails).
Great spot in the middle of the terminal close to all of the Delta gates.
I'd recommend food to go or to sit right at the bar, if you have enough time in between flights.
