Terminal B

Five gates, three airlines, one compact Terminal B

Gate B1 through B5 sit in a short concourse that handles Alaska Airlines, JetBlue Airways, and United Airlines flights at Hollywood Burbank (BUR). The whole terminal sits on the smaller side, so walking from security to the furthest gate, B5, takes only a few minutes. Everything listed here sits post-security in Terminal B, so clear TSA before you start looking for food or coffee.

Security for Terminal B usually feeds directly toward the B3 area, where the main American-branded restaurant sits. If your flight leaves from gates B1 or B2, you pass this spot on the way; if you leave from B4 or B5, you backtrack a minute or two. Build the buffer at TSA, since there’s no PreCheck-only checkpoint inside the gate area and lines can spike around early United and Alaska banks.

The American restaurant near gate B3 covers basic sit-down needs between Alaska, JetBlue, and United departures. Pricing tracks typical airport levels, with entrees often running into the mid-teens. Seating faces the concourse, so keep an eye on boarding for flights at nearby gates B2 and B3. If time is tight, skip a full meal and use it more as a quick stop for a drink and appetizer.

Sandwiches and Salads sits in the same Terminal B post-security footprint and works better for a grab-and-go approach. Expect pre-made or quick-assembly items that you can carry to gates B1–B5 without much detour. When your connection at BUR is under 40 minutes, this is the safer move than a full table-service stop at B3.

The Coffee location in Terminal B handles the early-morning traffic before United and Alaska first waves. Lines spike roughly 45–60 minutes before departures around gates B2–B4, then calm down again. If you care more about caffeine than food, hit Coffee first, then double back to Sandwiches and Salads or American(B3) for something more substantial.

American-branded retail also shows up as a shop in Terminal B, separate from the American(B3) restaurant listing. Expect standard travel basics rather than deep shopping. With only five gates feeding the whole space, this shop often doubles as a last-minute stop for snacks or bottled drinks before boarding a JetBlue or Alaska flight.

No lounges operate in Terminal B, and nothing lists for Priority Pass or airline clubs for Alaska, JetBlue, or United here. If you usually rely on lounge Wi‑Fi or outlets, plan to charge at gate seating near B2–B4 and download shows before you arrive. One practical move: grab food and drinks right after clearing security near B3, then head straight to your gate so you’re not stuck in a boarding queue with an empty bottle and no time left.
