An airport sports-bar format that’s unusually workable for gluten-free diners because the menu explicitly marks items that can be made gluten free. Best used as a pre-flight reliability play: pick one clearly labeled GF dish, confirm handling, and avoid improvising off-menu during rush periods.

Chicken wings (GF), Hummus (GF), Kale Caesar (GF)

Dress code: Casual and travel-friendly—athleisure, jeans, and airport wear are all standard.
Noise level: Loud during flight banks; constant ambient noise from TVs, announcements, and foot traffic.
Weekend wait: Variable—often 15–30 minutes during peak flight banks, shorter outside rush windows.
Weekday lunch: Typically minimal wait outside peak travel periods.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—several salads, sides, and meat-free starters available.
Vegan options: Limited—mostly sides or modified salads; confirm ingredients before ordering.
