About the Menu

The menu at Vanguard Kitchen offers a thoughtfully curated selection of New American dishes designed for comfort and simplicity, perfectly suited for an airport setting where ease and flavor come together. Expect a range of approachable meals—from hearty entrées like the Vanguard Orecchiette and hand-cut Truffle Fries to lighter options such as the Avocado Toast and Egg White Omelette with Spinach.

Whether you're looking for a satisfying breakfast with pancakes and country potatoes, a casual lunch featuring the Spicy Mushroom Sandwich or Hamburger, or a drink to unwind with—like a classic Bloody Mary or an Old Fashioned—the menu balances familiar favorites with fresh, seasonal touches. The atmosphere encourages slowing down between flights, with a warm and relaxed vibe that complements meals enjoyed at any time of day.

Sides such as Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Mac N’ Cheese make for comforting accompaniments, while the kids’ options keep things simple and satisfying. The overall experience aligns with a spot where travelers and locals alike can enjoy straightforward, approachable food served quickly and thoughtfully without fuss.
