Essex Burger: Reviews & Ratings

If I could give it 10 stars I would. Delicious burgers and wings… the drinks… chef’s kiss. Airport food is most time meh but there are a few gems out there and the Essex Burger LGA is one of them. We had a BBQ burger and Essex wings. The burger was prepared to the requested temperature and the wings had a sweet and crunchy glaze to them. Absolutely delicious. We also had cocktails. My hubby had a vodka soda with a splash of cranberry and I had a margarita with 1800 blanco tequila. The bartender l, Mayra T, makes what I have to say is the best margarita I’ve had in a long time, maybe ever and I’ve been to many Mexican restaurants and enjoyed many margaritas. Shout out to Mayra for her amazing customer service, which truly makes the difference in any restaurant experience. If you have the opportunity to fly out of terminal C gate 70+ sit down and enjoy some burgers, wings or Ramen/sushi with Mayra and the gang. You won’t be disappointed.

It was a nice experience I ordered everything through the app once I sat at my table they had a mix menu two restaurants in one. They have Japanese ramen or burgers, I went for the soy Romen and also had to try the bacon double cheeseburger. Both items were spot on. I give the ramen a score of 8.8 out of 10 Luna's and the burger 8.8 out of 10 Luna's.

Really good for airport dining! With the renovations to LaGuardia Airport, these eateries are at their best. Chuko Ramen and Essex Burger now share expanded seating. This was great as we could order from either and still eat together. The menu is scannable on the table. You order online and then a waiter quickly delivers your food. We ordered soy ramen with roasted pork and soy marinated egg and a spicy tuna roll for $39.27 including tip and an essex burger (double patty with fries) for $24.08 including tip. Under normal circumstances, this is totally overpriced but it is solid airport food with no wait. Would eat here again.

Good food and service inside LaGuardia. Had the "my way dogs" and a fish sandwich. Reasonable price for inside an airport, especially in NYC.
