Prime Tavern is located in Laguardia Airport's Delta Terminal.
As a friend said, starvation takes several days to set in. Unless you arrived from the desert you can avoid this place and be just fine. Burgers are $14-16. NY Strip is $42. The burger was a major disappointment. I've had food in the United Kingdom that has more flavor and costs less. Even with guacamole, tomatoes, and spicy jalapeno jack cheese it was very boring. The $7 side of various sauteed mushrooms added flavor to the burger, but now you have $23 burger that is only mildly satisfying. A dry rub on the meat would help out a lot here.
If you're in the Delta Terminal going to the pizza joint, getting a slice of pizza and a bottle of water for around $10 is a much better deal.
You might think you're on Candid Camera in this place because the service is so awful it's almost unbelievable. I can't comment on the food because we left before we got anything. A waiter approached us pretty quickly, pointed at us (said nothing) then brought us menus. He came back in a few minutes, pointed again and we ordered coffee and food. He left and proceeded to take more orders, got some people coffee, then went over to the order entry screen. We watched him for seven minutes as he struggled over entering things. After 17 minutes (I timed it, I'm a little uptight) I went over and asked if we could at least get the coffee. He showed me what looked like a list of hieroglyphics and spoke his first words…"I gotta put these in".
At that point, we went next door, got bagels and coffees in under 9 minutes.
This place is the cable TV of airport dining. They almost have a monopoly so they can cruelly mock your hunger and you're nearly powerless against it. So, not wanting to appear impotent, I got my food elsewhere and recommend that you, your children and your children's children dine elsewhere.
