BUILT (Custom Burgers)

You can create your own burger from the ground beef all the way down to the bread and the condiments at BUILT. Or you can choose one of their previously made burgers. The steak melts-in-your-mouth, the vegetables are crisp, and the potatoes have just the right amount of seasoning.
You’ll also find options that don’t include meat on the menu. Add-ons include delectable condiments and sauces, such as smoky chipotle aioli and dried cranberries, which you can buy separately.
Fresh Brothers Pizza

Jersey Mike’s
5:00 am – 11:00 pm
This quick-counter favorite makes traditional Italian submarine sandwiches with premium meats and cheeses, as well as daily fresh-baked bread, for convenience meals on the move in the form of comfort food. “Sub in a Tub” transforms any sandwich or wrap into a salad, making it a more nutritious alternative to traditional fast food. Even the most ravenous travelers are likely to be satiated after eating the large Italian sandwiches or Philly cheesesteaks at this LAX Terminal 2 restaurant.

The California Breakfast Plate is our top recommendation here. It comes with eggs, mashed avocado, smoked salmon or grilled chicken, breakfast tots, and sourdough toast. There is a wide selection of bar snacks, small meals that can be shared, and sharing platters available for those who do not wish to overeat immediately before their flight.
