Dinner at LAX
 

We (threee adults, two kids) have a three hour layover between a six hour flight from NY and a 13 hour flight to New Zealand that will take off at effectively 1 AM, so my plan is to skip the meal service and go to sleep immediately. If we want to sit down and have a decent meal at the airport, which is a better choice: Encounter, or the Daily Grill?

Since you are going to leave the secure zone, I say go to Encounter... it's a famous landmark so you can say you've been there :D Kids may enjoy the view of the airport too and watch the planes land and takeoff for 2 hours. The food is pretty good but not amazing.

Daily Grill food is better but it is just a regular airport location. Nothing special for the kids.

Encounter shuts down dinner service at either 9pm or 9:30pm, depending on the day.

Don't forget In-N-Out. You can either take a taxi or the parking spot shuttle.

Encounter. The food is decent and the view is nice, besides, as was mentined, you can say "been there"..

Ended up at the Bradley Terminal's Daily Grill yesterday for a business lunch. The group of us were pleasantly surprised at the food and service (it was not a very busy time of the day there, though).

Prices on the menu were a bit odd. Item pricing ended in unusual numbers, like 10 cents. Suspect the concessioner (Delaware North) was adding some sort of mark-up of "street" prices, based upon the contract they had with the Airport. Lunch for the four of us with a shared appetizer, soft drinks, tax, and tip was $92.

One has not fully experienced an LAX layover without a trip to In 'N Out! Easy and fast. ^

I said it before earlier in this thread. The bucket list way to spend a layover at LAX is In 'N Out.
