Arrivals Eatery features various eateries such as Dunkin', Camden Food Company, and other cafes for travelers after clearing customs, offering quick bites and drinks before exiting the airport.

Finding it

Arrivals Eatery is in Arrivals in Terminal 1 at John F. Kennedy International Airport. It sits landside, so you can reach it without a boarding pass — and you still have to clear security afterwards.

Level
1

Terminal 1 has 30 places to eat and 34 shops in this directory; the earliest opens at 5am.

Hours against the security queue

Arrivals Eatery opens at 10am and closes at 10pm. FlyIndex's wait-time data puts the typical JFK checkpoint queue at 23 minutes around 10am.

Across the week, JFK security runs longest around 8am at a median of 33 minutes, and lightest around 2am at 10 minutes. The queue is typically building before this location opens.

Queue figures are medians from FlyIndex's JFK wait-time record, not a live reading.
