Dining & Drinks
Terminal restaurants, lounge buffets and quick bites for transit travellers.
Detroit Local Flavors
DTW celebrates Detroit's rich food culture with local staples like Coney Island-style hot dogs and Detroit-style square pizza available across both the McNamara and North terminals. Look for outposts of beloved Michigan brands and homegrown concepts that give you a true taste of the Motor City before you fly. These spots are especially popular in the McNamara Terminal's central food court area.
Fast Grab-and-Go
DTW's sprawling terminals mean you may be covering serious ground between gates, so quick-service counters and grab-and-go kiosks are strategically placed throughout the concourses. Sandwiches, wraps, and fresh snacks from national chains and local vendors make it easy to eat on the move. The North Terminal and the McNamara Terminal's A and B concourses both offer ample fast options near the gate areas.
Cafes and Coffee
Travelers passing through DTW will find a solid selection of coffee shops and café-style eateries ideal for layovers or early morning departures out of Michigan. National chains like Starbucks sit alongside smaller café concepts offering pastries, light bites, and specialty drinks. Whether you're connecting through the McNamara Terminal or departing from the North Terminal, a quality cup of coffee is never far away.
Sit-Down Restaurants
For travelers with a longer layover at Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport, full-service restaurants offer a relaxed dining experience with menus reflecting both American comfort food and regional Michigan influences. The McNamara Terminal in particular features several table-service options where you can unwind with a proper meal before a long-haul flight. Expect hearty Midwestern portions and a welcoming atmosphere typical of Detroit hospitality.
