What do you expect? Cheap Airport food, the words cheap and airport aren't words that play nicely with each other... Unless you say "cheap person at the airport".
Right inside the departure terminal, the Molson Brewhouse offers you a nice place and bar to chill and relax before taking off. Offering lots of drinks (cold draft beer, yum) and lots of comfort foods, this is probably the best option for a sit-down meal in the airport.
The food is good - large portions and is well cooked - it's like a good neighborhood pub. I recommend the quesadillas, comes with large slices and lots of fillings. The meat is seasoned well and the plate is very filling... good to share! Don't skip out on the wings, they're really finger-lickin' good!
Extremely crowded most of the time and service is a little skimpish but you can tell that they really do try their best given the limited resources. All in all, a good experience, a place to check out if you're at the YYC.
