TERMINAL A

Alta Strada

Serves: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Full Service? Yes
Alcohol available? Yes
Power-charging outlets? Yes
Number of seats: 106
TVs available? Yes

Local celebrity chef Michael Schlow has been expanding his restaurant empire faster than it takes to melt mozz on a pizza—and that includes the Logan outpost of his neighborhood-y Italian spot Alta Strada, which now has five locations nationwide. Expect pizza, fresh pasta, and sandwiches on the menu, plus Aperol spritzes aplenty. The space itself is more sophisticated than what you’d typically find in an airport restaurant, featuring blond wood, cheery red chairs, and light, bright tilework. In other words, it sure beats waiting at the gate with a soggy newsstand turkey sandwich.

Boston Bruins Bar

Serves: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Full Service? Yes
Alcohol available? Yes
Power-charging outlets? Yes
Number of seats: 87
TVs available? Yes

Take a little piece of the home team with you at this bar and restaurant showcasing Bruins history and memorabilia. Even the food and drinks are in keeping with the theme: The menu itself was designed in collaboration with TD Garden chefs (yes, you can get a hot dog), and cocktails sport names like the B’s Knees and 1924, in honor of the Bruins’ first season.

Enjoy tucking into chef in Southie? Then you’ll really love kicking off your vacation with a Campari margarita at her hotly anticipated new Logan outpost. Breakfast here includes decadent options such as pancakes with lemon curd and blueberries, while lunch and dinner are all about northern Italian comfort food that’ll help you fuel up before taking flight—think pan-roasted salmon with panzanella salad, rigatoni Bolognese, and Tuscan-braised short ribs (which may sound heavy, but will save you later on from that sandwich you brought from home).

TERMINAL B

Cisco Brewers

Serves: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Full Service? Yes
Alcohol available? Yes
Power-charging outlets? Yes
Number of seats: 136
TVs available? Yes

Even if you’re not heading somewhere as fun as Nantucket this month, you can still pretend you are while enjoying a Whale’s Tale pale ale and brown-butter lobster roll at this Gray Lady standby, which also has a Seaport location not too far down the road. Weary travelers may be drawn in by the brewery’s on-tap beer selection, but make no mistake: The food is equally alluring, whether you opt for the skirt steak with chimichurri, a buttermilk-fried-chicken sammie, or a brick-oven pizza topped with barbecue brisket.

Lucca

Serves: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Full Service? Yes
Alcohol available? Yes
Power-charging outlets? Yes
Number of seats: 137
TVs available? Yes

It might be tough to find a parking spot on Hanover Street, where the original Lucca is located, but the Italian restaurant’s Logan outpost near Gate 15 in Terminal B is much easier to navigate (once you get through security, of course). Just park yourself in one of the plush booths and tuck into rib-sticking dishes such as rigatoni tossed with wild boar, crispy beef arancini, and a sausage-and-cherry-pepper flatbread.

Otto

Serves: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Full Service? No
Alcohol available? No
Power-charging outlets? No
Number of seats: N/A
TVs available? No

Does a slice of mashed potato, bacon, and scallion pizza sound like a good flight-day snack to you? If so, you’ll want to hightail it to the quick-service airport outpost of this Portland, Maine–originated chainlet, which offers a little something for everyone in Terminal B. Craving pizza in the morning? Try a breakfast flatbread. Traveling with people who have dietary restrictions? Order up a gluten-free or vegan whole pie and polish it off with your crew at the gate.

Temazcal

Serves: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Full Service? Yes
Alcohol available? Yes
Power-charging outlets? Yes
Number of seats: 90
TVs available? Yes

Feeling a little spicy while waiting for your Southwest flight? Swing by this Mexican fave, which also has locations in the Seaport and the ’burbs, for tacos and nachos galore, plus a slew of tequila-based cocktails to wash them down with in Terminal B. The menu’s bloody marys also pack some serious heat and are perfect for sipping while you cool your heels until boarding time.

TERMINAL C

Boston Public Market

Serves: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Full service? Bar Only
Alcohol available? Yes
Power-charging outlets? Yes
Number of seats: 150
TVs available? Yes

Airport food courts can be a double-edged sword: On the one hand, it’s nice to have options for everyone in the family. On the other, does anyone actually want to eat greasy fast-food burgers and lukewarm pizza slices? Thankfully, we now have this 6,000-square-foot outpost of Boston Public Market across from Gate 27 in Terminal C, offering up quick-and-delicious options from local faves such as Red’s Best, Mother Juice, and Beantown Pastrami. The on-site Market Bar, meanwhile, is an ideal place to kick back with a cocktail should your flight get delayed.

Davio’s Northern Italian Steakhouse

Serves: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Full Service? Yes
Alcohol available? Yes
Power-charging outlets? Yes (bar only)
Number of seats: 150
TVs available? Yes

Leave it to the king of hospitality, Davio’s owner Steve DiFillippo, to roll out the red carpet to jet setters traveling through Terminal C. Whereas Logan restaurants rarely exuded much sophistication in the past, Davio’s is a familiar oasis of signature spring rolls, prime flat-iron steaks, and stellar service just beyond the madness of the TSA checkpoint. Pro tip: Sit at the bar, facing the elegant barback, and order off the all-day menu.

Shōjō

Serves: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Full Service? Yes
Alcohol available? Yes
Power-charging outlets? Yes
Number of seats: 27
TVs available? Yes

The custom dragon mural in the back of this Terminal C Logan spot says it all—this is Shōjō owner Brian Moy’s world, and we’re all just living in it. You can order faves from the beloved Chinatown restaurant and chef Mike Stark on the menu here—hello, “Wu Tang” tiger-style ribs with roasted peanuts, “Shadowless” fries, and a burger with “kimcheese.” And where else at Logan can you find a selection of cocktails made with Japanese whiskey? No wonder the place was named one of the best airport restaurants in America by the Food Network.

Santarpio’s Pizza

Serves: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Full Service? Yes
Alcohol available? Yes
Power-charging outlets? Yes
Number of seats: 68
TVs available? Yes

This spot might feel like a far cry from the original, just a pepperoni’s throw from the airport in Eastie, but if you want to satisfy a Santarpio’s craving on your way to or from the airport, now you only have to go as far as Terminal C—specifically, next to Gate 21—to get a taste of one of the most iconic pies in town. Unlike the old-school location, which opened in 1903, the Logan outpost has a bit more modern flair—see: the snazzy geometric light fixtures—but the pizza is, thankfully, just the same.

TERMINAL E

Boston Harbor Distillery

Serves: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Full Service? Yes
Alcohol available? Yes

Number of seats: 97

Cocktails…for breakfast? Frequent flyers know that knocking back a few is acceptable anytime at an airport. In Terminal E, it’ll certainly be tough to resist the morning libations (available until 10:30 a.m.) at the new Logan outpost of this popular local distillery, where locals and tourists alike sip maple-cream espresso martinis made with the house vodka in comfy plaid-accented barstools. As the day goes on, travelers can order up other specialty cocktails made with Boston Harbor Distillery’s whiskey, gin, and rum, padding their stomachs with food options such as chicken wings made with the distiller’s Demon Seed Whiskey barbecue sauce.

Legal Sea Foods

Serves: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Full Service? Yes
Alcohol available? Yes

If you’re anything like us, the first thing you need after passing through the hassle of security is a cold, crisp glass of wine—and there it is, like a beacon of light: Legal Sea Foods. With at least one outpost in every terminal (including a fancy new one in the refurbished Terminal E), you can find all your reliable faves, from clam chowder to half-pound lobster rolls to seared colossal shrimp.
