This is probably the best place to get food and a drink in this airport and for that it gets the extra star. There's not many airports that actually have decent restaurants so when comparing this restaurant it just can't be compared to a regular restaurant.
The service was pretty decent despite being the last seated patron of the night. Service was attentive initially and it of course declined being the last ones there.
If you're not wanting to get a drink (alcoholic) then you're probably better off with food that's consistent from something like Five Guys.
Otherwise this place is your best bet for food + drink.
The guy who wrote the business plan for Figs focused on three things: Location, location and location. Let's face it, a bar is a bar is a bar. Unless they have generous pouring tendencies there is nothing special about a bar. What makes a place stand out is the bar scene and the food. Being half decent in either of these certainly make a place a big win in the airport setting. Too bad neither of these is Figs' strong suit. The bar, though full, was pin drop quiet. They had about four beers on tap and another six or so bottled beers. Top shelf liquor was missing as was a quality selection of wine. I has a single glass of what they were pouring for the house cabernet and then switched to ginger ale.
For dinner, I ordered typical pub food, chicken strips and fries, about $12. I seriously would have gotten better food at a fast food place. Chicken strips are large pieces but look like they were fried I old oil with sediment still afloat. The choice for sauces, ranch or honey mustard. Any wing place or even Friendly's has more selection. The fries typical no-frills warehouse club variety. Nothing looked appetizing from all the dishes I saw arrive at my fellow diners.
Not sure why, cost cutting or lack of facilities everything was served on disposable plastic plates (gee, I hoped they disposed of then when I was done). The wine and soda were saved in glass but everything was a disposable, just bleh.
I wish I could say they are an OK spat for a quick airport bite, but I can't. It's not OK to serve this low quality food on plastic plates at these prices. But hey, if you've got a good location…
If you've got the time, it's a great place to grab a drink. They have a huge beer and liquour selection and the salad I had was very good (something with a lemon dressing). They always have a sports game playing and it is a very relaxed atmosphere. Both times I've been the bartender on duty has been nothing but friendly.
Scene: You're at the airport, craving one beer before your flight. You dash in to Figs to notice that they have a nice assortment if beers on tap (including Stella Artois) and in the bottle (including Corona). The bartendar smiles and quickly serves you. You drink it quickly as though it's the end of days. You pay, you run out and make it to your gate just as they begin to page your name.
Cut!!
Hey, at least you had beer. And they have a station for food as well, mainly sandwiches.

Wow I need to stick to JFK this place it just terrible…..best place to get terrible food in the whole airport…wow I hate flying out of LGA.
Mediocre overpriced stale food. Service is ok. It's the last option for non packaged food before your very delayed flight
