| - I don't really get some of the crappy reviews for CLE.
Look, it's an airport. It has a function - that being to get a lot of people through it in an efficient and timely manner. At this, it's up there with the best. I've NEVER waited longer than 25 min in the security line. Of course I've been delayed, but mostly for weather which really can't be blamed on the airport. It is the Midwest, after all. Check in lines can be long but this is rare and if you're a seasoned traveler, you know how to get around this (don't check a bag, curbside check it, etc).
Food and shop options are getting better all the time. If not for that new Dunkin' Donuts in the check-in area, I might have to give a 3-star. Thank GOD for that DD. I have nearly died of caffeine/donut withdrawal while waiting to check in back in the days before that blessing arrived. Just in the past year two new sit-downs added - the Pub (English theme bar/restaurant just past the main checkpoint), and Quaker Steak and Lube in Concourse B I think.
As Cara said, you don't go to the airport looking for a great gourmet dinner at a value price. Yes, the food is overpriced - show me an airport where it isn't. Also, you know you're not going to get a steak knife so here's an idea - don't order a steak!
All in all - not a bad airport. It's really not. If you've ever been to God-awful ORD, you know what I mean.
