LAX Dining Late in the Day
Hi Team-
Can't seem to find any recent updates. I am connecting thru LAX tonight 7-11pm to take the redeye to get home to NYC. Got caught up in the storm IRROPS yesterday.
Does anyone know if there is anything to eat at LAX T2 in the evening? Last time I went through there in the evening it was Starbucks only, but with the dining situation in SoCal relaxing maybe things have changed.
Otherwise, I gotta carry a skyclub picnic with me from far away
Thanks!

Besides Starbucks, the only other place is "Slapfish" (a seafood place), typically closes at 8:30pm. And the little mart that sells drinks/sundries/to-go sandwiches/cheese snack-trays from a cooler...sometimes they stay open until 9:45pm but sometimes I've seen them close early (even when arriving at the airport at a little after 7pm. So it was just Slapfish and Starbucks). Plus the Skyclub, of course, which is where I get most of my food for the plane.

Leave the terminal and walk to the nearby In-N-Out burger joint just north of terminal #1... Its about a 15-20 min walk but reachable by foot and a nice view of the flights coming in....

Can’t say that one for sure, but the one by my house in So Cal has more than drive through. There is no eat in, but take out is available and out door dining is allowed.

Edited to add: just mapped it and google maps said terminal 2 to in n out is 26 mins. I imagine a fast walker could easily shave a few mins off that time. Though you need to escape terminal 2 which takes a few mins on its own. Terminal 3 would be further by maybe 4-5 mins.

The only place so far I was - luckily almost only - mugged in LA (thanks to god hopefully it'll stay that way) was when I tried to do some plane spotting behind the Renaissance and went to the runway by foot and that was during broad daylight. Stupidly enough I did this after coming out of the Marriott M Club so I was carrying my laptop openly - well lesson learnt. My Uber drivers told me thought that the airport is safe (I guess you as LAX airport pros know that anyway) only the surrounding areas are a bit questionable especially at night.
I believe it's a different direction to the burger joint but since then I am hesitant to walk around at LAX

Its a brisk pace and i wouldn't bring people in tow as im a fast walker. So long as you are not dragging a steamer trunk its doable, but i would make sure to have at least two hours free time between flights to actually enjoy your food and then be able to sit in the nearby greenspace to watch the planes land. You can actually take the parking lot shuttle next door which i think is "The Parking Spot" and then walk back and save a few steps..

How do you do an In-N-Out run from LAX or other LA area airports? [merged threads]
According to its wiki, "Effective May 2015, Parking Spot has implemented a customer-only policy for its shuttles at LAX. This effectively means In-N-Out Burger runs via Parking Spot Shuttle will come to an end."

I once walked to this area (there are some stores and a small strip mall with a grocery store and a drugstore IIRC plus a few casual restaurants) from the LAX Sheraton in daylight and I did not feel comfortable at times. I was alone and did not have any luggage with me. I remember it as about a half hour walk each way.

I was just in there a couple weeks ago, I believe Slap Fish was open until 8 or 9p and then the only place that was open was the bar at the end of the terminal. They had a limited menu but had some deep fried food, hamburgers and a few other things. They were also serving limited drinks (beer, etc.) but you had to buy peanuts to eat w/ them due to the COVID ordinance at that time. I think they were open until 10p.
Got most of my stuff from the SkyClub, but you were allowed to eat or drink in the club, had to go outside the club to eat and drink. No alcohol.
