Gate-side tacos and burgers in Terminal 1
In Terminal 1 at MSP, LoLo American Kitchen runs as a casual sit-down spot with a 4.2-star rating and a menu built around tacos, burgers, and shareable plates. It sits post-security among the main food options, so you’re not trekking to a remote concourse for a real meal. Service runs through the core flight banks, with breakfast-style items early and fuller lunch/dinner choices later in the day.
LoLo American Kitchen leans into bar-style favorites: think fried chicken sandwiches, cheeseburgers, and street-style tacos, plus fries or tater tots on the side, usually in the $12–$20 range for mains. Portions skew bigger than the grab-and-go spots nearby, so one entrée can easily carry you through a 2–3 hour connection. There’s table service, but you can also eat at the bar if you want to keep an eye on boarding times.
The bar at LoLo runs a straightforward lineup of local Minnesota beers, basic cocktails, and wine by the glass, with most drinks landing around $8–$14. If you want something quick, a burger and a beer comes out faster than a full three-course order, especially during the 4–7 p.m. rush. Morning hours tilt toward coffee and lighter bites, then shift to full bar and heavier fare as the day goes on.
Prices are airport-normal, not outrageous: tacos usually come 2–3 per order, and a full sit-down meal with a drink often lands in the $20–$35 range before tip. Seating works well for solo travelers grabbing a 30–45 minute meal between flights, but groups of four or more may wait a bit when the nearby Delta banks depart.
Tip: if your gate in Terminal 1 is more than a 10-minute walk, grab your check as soon as your main course lands; service is friendly but can slow once the bar fills with pre-boarding flyers.
