Good and Bad Airport Food?

Got a $11 Cheeseburger at Burger 21 at the Tampa Florida Airport yesterday. It was very good!
Most other airport food purchases I have made have been a disappointment in both price and quality.

It’s not always the airport, but mostly the restaurant chain. I travel to Florida and go through Tampa to get to my home several times a year.
They had a Shula’s Burger Bar at TPA for a number of years, but I guess since Don Shula has been dead for years, his namesake has been changed.

As a pilot that has flown to many different large cities, I liked Boston to get Lobster or Clam Chowder inside the airport. I don’t have the name of the restaurant. It was called “Something (?) Sea Foods.”

I also liked the restaurant inside Denver International called “Timberline Steaks.” Really good food, but a little pricey.

there are many ways to get in airport lounges. Some lounges have good food , some don't.

I actually always book the airport lounge when I'm leaving the uk.. because it's as you say, the food is better there mostly... rather than the food courts... and as I almost always fly red eye... I get a really freshly cooked hot breakfast
 
We frequently fly out of DFW and I find the restaurants in the International Terminal D to be pretty varied and decent. I've traveled all over the world and I can't think of an airport that serves anything particularly good. I do remember that Charlotte and Atlanta were pretty pathetic and only offered unhealthy food. That may have changed.

Never mind the airlines, even on international flights. The food is marginal at best. The best may have been Qatar Airways and Singapore Airlines.
 
We always ate at a seafood restaurant in Seattle. It’s been a few years so I forget the name. They also had reasonable shopping there for travel clothing and accessories.

Most likely Legal Seafoods, a Boston-based chain serving parts of the northeast.
 
Whenever we went to visit my father in Florida, as soon as we disembarked in Orlando we'd make a beeline for Chick Fil A, which we all love. We'd gotten used to them in Virginia, and then when we moved to Nevada and then North Dakota. . . nothing. The chain hadn't made its way that far west yet.

We finally got a one here, after a looong time!
