gateway cafe

This place had horrible food and service. Get a bag of trail mix, its better.

If you have read reviews of the Syracuse’s Hancock Airport, you no doubt have read many times about the aromatic pleasures one experiences near Gate 21. At all times of day, including long after after the Gateway Café has closed, you can share in the delights of their old deep fryer oil smell. The airin the region of this terminal is always full of old grease smell emanating from Gateway Café. In fact, when I have arrived at Syracuse on a smaller plane which disembarked passengers onto the tarmac, this place vents their oily greasy smell to the exterior so arriving passengers can enjoy the stink before entering the terminal while they’re still on the tarmac!
Change the oil, fix the ventilation and scrub the place down ! The food? Well, about 6 bucks gets you breakfast of a medium coffee and a yogurt. Blah…
There is a coffee kiosk just after the TSA screening area where you can get some fresh air.
