In this area, you also have Granato's, a local Italian sandwich shop Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, a fun place to get treats, sweets and amazing caramel apples Roosters Brewing Co., a local brew pub with burgers, salads and sandwiches and of course a trusty Starbucks.Ī Shake Shack is also right across the plaza in the Terminal Plaza Food Court, alongside Fillings & Emulsions, owned by a Cuban pastry chef, and Pizzeria Limone, another local favorite for fast-casual Italian pizzas and salads. We loved grabbing a bowl of their famous clam chowder, even offered in a bread bowl! You can never go wrong if you decide to eat at Market Street, whether you choose to dine-in or take food-to-go. One of our favorites is Market Street Grill, a Utah seafood staple that was also in the previous airport. There are some really great food options right out the gate. When you enter the airport after going through security, you will find yourself in the Terminal Plaza, which has a beautiful, grand seating area with giant windows and modern architecture. It will shorten the walking distance between the concourses, according to Nancy Volmer, the airport’s director of communication and marketing.) (A new Central Tunnel is being constructed as part of the airport’s Phase II, which is scheduled to open in 2024.

The bad news is that you may have to walk quite a long way to get to your gate, especially if you fly out of Concourse B, so plan accordingly. The good news is that they can fit more people, restaurants, shops and flights. The new airport is much bigger than the previous buildout. I want to take you on a little tour of the airport and explain how the new layout is situated and all the fun places to eat when you get there. Most of all, we were excited to see many local restaurants represented rather than just a bunch of large nationwide chains. We were thoroughly impressed by the restaurants included in this new airport. On our way to Orlando, we made sure to plan some extra time before our flight to take it all in and, of course, explore the amazing food lineup.

Our family has been so eager to visit the new and improved Salt Lake City International Airport ever since the new airport opened in September 2020.
