Before UA decided to decimate EWR with a nouveau dining concept (and what ORD did in T5), seeing a McDonald's was actually a welcoming site for us. We knew we could order a hamburger and fries, and we knew the food would be consistent and safe.
At EWR, I believe I could get a safe meal for her at Tony Roma's, and
maybe Subway, but that's about it, and none of them are in Terminal C.
