There's a lot of worst places to eat in Sky Harbor. Four Peaks is a premium brewery in town that's usually packed with the college crowd. In the airport it's packed with the in-the-know crowd.
Expect to wait for 20 minutes around 5:00pm but it's worth it. Chef's salad, fish and chips and a healthy burger are great compliments to the Kilt Lifter, Peach Ale or Wheat that excel on tap.
If you've got 30 minutes then take the time to chill here. Life's too short to let travel mess up your day.
