Broward County commissioners will talk today about the dearth of eating and drinking options for travelers in Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport, or in airport parlance, FLL. They’ll also talk about trying massage chairs out at the airport.
Though the airport website claims that “a fine selection of gift shops, restaurants and newsstands awaits passengers within the terminals and concourses of Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport,” county commissioners say the food fare is poor, and a recent customer survey found the airport got average ratings in that area.

Freshens will open in this terminal soon, replacing Edy’s ice cream.
Terminal 4: Pre-security options are Sbarro Italian Eatery, Casa de Fresco, Edy”s ice cream and Dunkin’ Donuts. After the security checkpoint: Boat House Too Dockside Bar, Nathan’s Hot Dogs, Dunkin’ Donuts and Chef Allen’s 2 Go.
