Fig’s Cafe

A total rip off. Food is mediocre at best. Only saving grace is fairly decent beer on tap.
If you want a substitute, be sure to ask beforehand what it will cost, as otherwise they will slap any price they like on it, and you will have to pay. AVOID

It’s dirty and the food is clearly not fresh. This terminal is extremely small and only has one bar/​restaurant option. American Airlines needs to step up their game and boot Fig out of their terminal.

Overpriced microwaveable food from the frozen department of your grocery store. The chicken is the worse offense. Get a bottled beer, they can’t fuck that up.

Laughably terrible food and service. In the sense that we laughed *all* the way to gate D7 about it.
Coworker ordered a veggie pizza that took exactly a half hour to reheat and package. Our flight was several groups into boarding by the time the homie brought out the pizza from the back (you can’t see the kitchen). When it came out in one of those generic white boxes, dude took time to carefully tape off every … single … side of the box with a piece of tape that he … carefully… tore… off… the dispenser. Really? Then he placed it nicely in a generic grocery bag with a fork and napkin, tied it up, and made a custom handle by tearing two holes on the top. No joke. Packaging this pizza probably took an excruciating minute or two that we didn’t have.
We had patiently waited and didn’t complain the entire time we were standing out the counter to provoke any passive aggressive behavior. So I’m left thinking this is per usual. Guy either hates or loves his job.
I’m on the plane now in a separate seat from my coworker so I don’t know if the pizza was any good. My four scrawny, stale/​dry, fried in old oil, chicken fingers that I paid $ 10 for were epically bad. They were hot, I guess that’s okay. Fries do not come with your $ 2.50 a piece fingers.

It’s an airport café so my expectations were pretty reasonable to begin with. It’s certainly not the worst place you can eat at LGA but the dishes are sloppy and sparse. We had the Todd dog (hot dog and sauerkraut) and a side of fries. They were ok. After getting served a very dirty glass of water, we went with fried and cured options, because we weren’t sure how fresh other items would be. They do serve wine and beer though, and I would go with beer on this one. Someone walked in asking for a red from Oregon, Wilimette Valley, in which the bartender gave her a puzzled look. Wine was not too great. If you’re in LGA a lot and looking for decent eats, check out this article:

I had a slice of «flat bread pizza» here that was worse than most grade school cafeteria pizza. This isn’t a café. It’s a bar with pre-​prepared cibo-​express type food. I should have stayed at famiglias. Don’t bother unless you want to drink your meal.

I had a cold beer (plus) and bad hot dog. The beer was good, I mean, you can only mess up the temperature. However, the hot dog was horrible, it seemed they did not drain either the sauerkraut or the frank and the result was a very soggy, gooey bread. I do not recommend it.

Eat before you come to the terminal! My tuna wrap tasted like a cheap can of tuna dumped into a tasteless tortilla with some sad brown lettuce – because it was, in fact, a cheap can of tuna dumped into a tasteless tortilla with some sad brown lettuce.
And to make matters worse, the service left much to be desired, even when the terminal was practically deserted. The cashier informed me after she’d swiped my card the sandwich I originally ordered was actually unavailable; they were also out of fountain Diet Pepsi.

Maybe because its 5 am, but the bacon egg and cheese sandwich was awesome. The bread was amazingly soft and fresh ciabatta. The eggs were good but its scrambled from a buffet tray. I can possibly see them getting dry as the day progresses. The bacon was good and cheese wasn’t that cheap shit u get everywhere. Overall very surprised. I Reccomend this bfast sandwhich as its the only thing that looks safe.

Drinks (⁴⁄₅)
Not as pricey as I was expecting — got a glass of Merlot for $ 7.
Food (1.5÷5)
Food cart food but 3x the price. I had my 1^st hot dog with sauerkraut and onions here and it was awful. The onions were so awkwardly cut, huge rectangles and I was confused what the sauerkraut was supposed to do. I also ordered fries but the bartender forgot but the cheese fries looked pretty decent.
Atmosphere (³⁄₅)
Watched the Jets game while eating and drinking, so Figs Café isn’t so bad to kill some time.

Only place to drink in the terminal. Don’t eat food here, I had the pepperoni flatbread, which is what I expected, but the bartender charged me for something else, which was more expensive, and said the sale already occurred and wouldn’t give my money back. So he stole about 4 dollars from me, which isn’t much, just a dirtbag thing to do.

First, the «BBQ Turkey Wrap» was a wrap made of turkey luncheon meat, served with two packets of BBQ sauce — not what one thinks of when one pictures a «BBQ Turkey Wrap.» Second, the lettuce was limp and inedible. As a bonus, the counterperson hated life and the people in it more than anyone ever has.
Avoid.
