CMH’s maps list Wolfgang Puck, but locals barely mention it
This Wolfgang Puck sits pre-security in Terminal T at John Glenn Columbus International Airport, so it works more like an airport-adjacent restaurant than a quick dash from your gate. It’s tagged as Local · American and runs in the $$$ range, so expect higher prices than the food court spots near the main checkpoint.
The one specific hook here is the made-to-order salad, assembled in front of you and priced at the upper end of typical airport salads. That’s the play if you want something fresher than a pre-packaged box before you line up for security in T. Portions tend to skew more restaurant-size than grab-and-go, so allow at least 30–45 minutes if you’re sitting down to eat.
Because it’s outside security, this Wolfgang Puck works best if you’re meeting someone who isn’t flying or you’ve got a long buffer before a CMH departure from Terminal T. For quick bites, the menu leans American: salads, sandwiches, and a few warm mains, sitting above fast-food price points but below steakhouse territory. Figure on paying third-tier airport pricing for a basic entrée and drink.
There’s no strong reputation here among CMH regulars; it shows up on airport dining lists, but independent reviews for this exact location are thin. That means you’re essentially getting the standard brand playbook rather than a Columbus-specific twist or cult-favorite dish. If you care about a known quantity more than local flavor, that consistency may be the draw.
Practical tip: because Wolfgang Puck is pre-security in Terminal T, clear security first if your departure is inside 60 minutes and then eat airside; save this spot for days when you have at least an extra hour on the ground at CMH.
