Bar Brace

Fresh food quick. Order and pay right from your seat at the bar. Pizza, sandwiches, salads and cocktails (or coffee if you’ve had too many cocktails).
Great spot in the middle of the terminal close to all of the Delta gates.
I’d recommend food to go or to sit right at the bar, if you have enough time in between flights.

Was scheduled for a flight to seattle, because my husband wanted to go on a trip and visit the first starbucks to be created. It was however delayed, thank fucking god.
Came here and got a margarita from some asian dude that was above average-​looking but not that much above it. It was a pretty good ass drink. My experience was good but a man near me kept farting so i couldnt stay there much longer.
That is all…

Clueless and staff with attitude for typical pre made, overpriced airport crap! Could be nice if anyone really cares.

I’m used to paying a lot for coffee, however this brand at Delta terminal they force in us is pure crap and a complete rip. Also the cashier is abrupt and dismissive (don’t blame that on New York) and they don’t have a temperature gage for the espresso machine (luckily I have an hour here because I already burned my mouth twice waiting for this sludge to cool off). My suggestion? Have coffee before you come or on the plane, no reason to pay so much for bad quality product and service.

One star only because the food was good. The cashier (the receipt name said Tabitha) was VERY rude. I asked one of the easiest questions do you have bagels and can you toast it for me, and each time she made it seem like I was asking her a trigonometry question. She also said, so that I could hear her,” seems like everyone is moving in such slow motion today, Jesus.” I understand she’s probably tired, but guess what it’s your job. I work in hospitality too along with going to school and having and internship and I manage to suck up my tiredness and hold back a bad attitude. It wasn’t a nice way to start my vacation, so watch out for her bad attitude if you get food from there.

The cashier at the LGA is rude the dark skin young lady omg people like her it’s the reason why people never comes back

Salmon rillete bruschetta looks nothing like the photo. Would have known this if I checked Unilocal first! Was meh.

Yuck, gross, awful, nasty, foul, revolting, and vile and anything else you could think of that would describe the food I received at Bar Brace.
I’ve been spoiled at DIA with having exceptional food to choose from in all the terminals and La Guardia needs a complete overhaul on all food being offered. Here’s a hint La Guardia, you could make a whole lot more money and keep people happy if you offered edible food by the terminals.
The $ 13 pre-​made wrap I ordered looked fine enough (I wasn’t expecting much) and since I was arriving in Denver after 8pm I was just looking for something to fill my tummy, nothing more. It was by far one of the worst things I’ve ever put in my mouth.
My advice: Order on the plane, eat before you leave or starve!

One tablespoon of cream cheese – barely.
I paid $ 1 for cream cheese on my bagel, and they handed me a little cup with a slice of cream cheese measuring less than one tablespoon.
Here’s the thing – the bagel was presented beautifully. It was perfectly toasted, plated with a little chunk of of pineapple and melon, and delivered to my station by friendly servers.
But you lost me at the cream cheese, Bar Brace. What a disgrace to bagels everywhere! Overpriced airport food is a given, but this was an all-​time low. We are in New York, people! Give a girl a break! It covered a measly two bites. What’s a hungry girl to do with the rest of her dry toasted bagel?
And I want my dollar back! This is a total cream cheese injustice.

My standards for airport restaurants are pretty low but this place pleased me.
I was able to order and pay right at my seat without even talking to anyone. It was awesome. There was a server there who was super attentive and friendly and made me forget for a brief second I was at Laguardia.
I wish the food/​alcohol wasn’t so overpriced. I get that it’s an airport but 10 $ for a beer makes me sad and I would have continued to drink if they were a bit cheaper.

Wow that was the worst eating experience ever. I approach looking for a menu, there is none, you have to access the ipad to read the menu which gives you the option of either awkwardly hovering over the table and flipping through the pages or setting everything down and sitting at a table (and then having to gather everything up if you don’t want anything). You have to order the food exactly as it is, so if you want a soda without ice. You first have to get the soda with ice and tell them you don’t want it with ice. And once you order and get your food, don’t expect any human interaction. Your food could taste like shit and you wouldn’t be able to find a single person to tell. Also, they automatically charge you with a tip. I base my tips on the quality of food and service. That I have to pay a tip before I even taste the food at a place where there is no human interaction is ridiculous. Also, the food is sub par.

I fly constantly and was impressed with LGA’s overhaul of their restaurant concept to the iPad order your food before flight. I have visited several of these on my way out of town and this location in D terminal has been the worst. Today the hubby and I ordered an egg sandwich (I.e pre-​made egg slice warmed for 30 seconds on a roll). It took 20 minutes (at an airport!), we were the only people there, they got the order wrong and the people working there are completely rude and uninterested in helping you. Sandwich was okay but no better than the deli for $ 1.50 next to my apartment and this was $ 14. Will avoid in the future and stick with world bean.

The fact that I can order and pay on an iPad is cool enough to deserve a review from me. They have plenty of great beers and snacks to keep you busy while you wait for a flight. The service was pleasant also… cheers!

This place went above and beyond… esp for an airport location. I travel a LOT and I’ve never experienced an airport restaurant this focused on their patrons. Tony is phenomenal and the chef was amazing as well. If I owned a restaurant I would steal them both… Thanks I’m a raving fan :-)

Ordering from an iPad, having someone ask me if I may have ordered red wine (that was already paid for on said iPad) left little to be desired for me. Someone else could have easily said my wine was theirs and enjoyed it given how busy the terminal was.
I had heard people complaining about the food not being that great, so I did not even partake even though I was starving. I will give kudos to Delta… their terminal at Laguardia is wayyyyyy better than I remember, but some things still need to step up a tad.
Bar Brace will not be embraced on my next visit to Laguardia… but Crust certainly will.

They are all the same in Delta terminals C and D. They really don’t vary that much in the food they sell, and they all sell it at ridiculously exorbitant prices. Tip: bring your own meals and snacks at airports, especially LGA’s Delta terminals.

Wow LGA terminal D is sweet! iPads galore! Bar brace great euro breakfast café spot.
Espressos and artisanal sandwiches

Ok, I’ve eaten here twice in the past six months and both times were good. First of all, I have to say this is the coolest airport terminal I’ve seen! iPads everywhere that let you relax and order food and drink from among a few nearby eateries, and also play games or read the NY Times.
My first visit, I saw cacio e pepe (pasta with cheese and pepper– mmmm good!) on the overhead menu, which has become one of my favorite dishes. I ordered it but was then told it’s no longer available but the menu hadn’t been updated yet. But then, she asked the chef if he had everything to make it for me anyway and he said YES! I ordered it with a nice Chablis. It wasn’t the best cacio e pepe I’ve had, but they got points for going off-​menu in an airport eatery.
My second visit, I decided to try one of the many paninis they sell. I don’t remember which one I got but it was quite good, especially with a glass of red. Each visit was finished with a solid double cappuccino.
It’s difficult to use Unilocal for airport dining because I never know if the previous reviews are using the airport food-​weighting scale or the real world scale? Since it’s not really an option to exit the airport during a flight connection, I use the airport scale. A four-​star in La Guardia is not the same as a four-​star in Manhattan, but for comparison, the Burger King gets two stars. Hope that helps!

I was amazed when I flew Delta out of LGA and saw all the new restaurant and dining options. They were so gourmet and exciting! Too bad I wasn’t in the mood for a nice sitdown meal as a solo traveler, and it was too early in the morning for some of the heavier options like burgers or pizzas, so I opted for a panini at Bar Brace.
Right next to my departing gate, they had some premade options or you could order from the menu and they’d cook you up something fresh. I didn’t quite understand the system so I ordered from the cashier, then sat down and realized that they do take your order from the seats if you don’t want it «to go».
I got a chicken pesto panini. It was decent, but very dry, unfortunately, I would’ve loved some more pesto, maybe some cheese, or a little more moisture in the chicken. The side salad wasn’t my cup of tea, but it is a nice touch, I suppose. In all, this place is good for a grab and go option if you don’t want to shell out for some of the other places. And I would imagine that maybe some of their other sandwich options aren’t as dry depending on the toppings.

Ordered the Salami Panini which came with a salad and it was pretty good. For airport food it was fairly cheap. The Paninni and an ice tea was $ 14 and change.
The one thing that I hindered me from rating this place 4 stars were the seats. They were both uncomfortable and too close to one another which left for little room.
