My sister and I will have a couple hours layover in PHL airport before going to Europe, but we'll want to eat a meal first. What are the recommendations for a nice restaurant in the airport?

philly just has some standard places. your typical tgi friday kinda places but don't ask me the names!

but there are sit down places in addition to the food court type places.

go to the airport website, www.phl.org

keep on hitting links to food and shops and you'll get a list

I know there is a TGI Friday's. That may be the best it gets.

There are the usual places for fast food in the center food court area between Terminal B and C - Sbarro, Bassetts, Chinese, a cheesteak place and a burger place. In between B and C, in the shops area, there is a TGI Fridays which really stinks - limited menu, not clean and the slowest service in the world... There is a good deli at the far end of terminal C which makes sandwiches, salads or wraps and has good soup. There is also Cibo, I think on terminal B, which is good but has limited seating.

Thanks for the info. I did check the airport's website and found these places in Terminals A West and East: Cibo Bistro, Le Petite Bistro, Maki of Japan, and Olde Philadelphia Tavern. Could you recommend any of these?

Thanks again

I was just at the airport on B and had a cheesesteak that was yummy with fries that still had peel on the outside. Very good but $10 for a cheesesteak :^(
