The 14 Best Restaurants At Newark Airport - New York - The Infatuation

"City Rub Cafe is small enough that you might walk by without noticing it, but it’s one of the best places to eat in the terminal. The seared ahi tuna salad and coconut shrimp are the perfect light snacks, and the crispy and moist chicken sandwich is cozy and satisfying without being too salty or rich. Plus, it comes with thick spears of well-seasoned steak fries." - anne cruz

Wildly overpriced average sandwiches served with a rude and unpleasant attitude. Ordered the egg and cheese sandwich for $15, and a cup of luke-warm coffee for $5. I asked for a cup of hot coffee and the woman at the register argued with me that “it’s hot because me make it every 5 minutes, it turns cold when you put milk in it.” Cool.

The plus to being delayed...a fantastic place to get a delicious burger. I highly recommended the City Rub burger. Flavorful from the beef, to the greens, cheese, and sauce...love it. Best burger in years! Thank you.❤️🍔 Fries were seasoned and tasty. I also enjoyed the Cape May IPA.

Pretty solid with fast service. Staff were nice and the food was great. Not a bad spot to wait for your flight and get a quick bite.

In no world is a sandwich here worth more than $20. Parfaits are also just as expensive. The sandwich is not fresh, the bread is somewhat stale, and it had a little bit of a weird smell to it. There is a self order kiosk outside the restaurant. Staff are not friendly, and the atmosphere is fine with some seating available.

Felt good about this place. The ladies did a good job - I was greeted while waiting in line, brisket sandwich was delicious, and they came by during my quick meal to make sure I was good. Pleasantly surprised and I would return to dine here next time I'm in Newark airport

If you like cold Beer DONT get it from here. I mentioned to staff, in a very kind way ..even asking if maybe they had a cold glass I could transfer my room temperature beer. Manager checks the temperature of the machine and says “ it’s cold” and walks away ..completely dismissing the customers concern.. not even offering an option. I regret even pre tipping the staff before she poured the beer. Not even upset about the beer not being crisp and cold anymore, it was simply the LACK of customer service of who was working at 5:05 pm on Wed. Nov. 26th

The cute place at Newark International Airport, Terminal A between gates A26 and A10 (yes that makes sense!) offers upscale food. I passed on salads and I saw people digging into some pulled pork sandwiches on egg buns. I went for the packaged tiramisu after I debated with the cheese cakes. Tiramisu was great for packaged. They also have a bar with lots of wine offerings, beers on tap, and local craft beers. Airport prices. CityRub Cafe offers accessible tables and chairs, some with window view of the planes and buses on the tarmac. They offer a lower accessible order counter. Accessible venue. Accessible restrooms in central airport area.

Lisa Y, extraordinary service. She was happy, quick, flexible, respectful and courteous. I was so happy to have gotten service from her. Please acknowledge her hard work. It's not easy what she does considering the amount of people flood the counter. Kudos to Lisa, she's. Rockstar !!!

Located near gate A26 of EWR airport, Cityrub Cafe has sandwiches, burgers, and appetizers like coconut and chicken wings. They also have a good selection of wine and beers. I got the Cityrub Burger with bacon jam, caramelized onions, and cheddar cheese. You have a choice of fries or side salad. The burger is juicy. I love caramelized onions on my burgers. It hit the spot while waiting to board. It is a small dine in area, but you can also carry food out. Friendly service, and it took about 10-15 minutes for my order.

Food is great, service can be miserable. I've been here 30 times and sometimes the service is excellent. It'd be great if they could fix the attitude at the register.
