About this location
Fat Sal's holds a spot near Gate 30 in the Terminal 3 food hall, between Alfred Coffee's counter and Cava's salad line, with Chicken and Beer rounding out the cluster. The sandwich and deli menu is takeaway only -- no tables here, just a counter to grab a sub before heading toward gates 30 through 38. It's the only Fat Sal's at LAX, so travelers routed through Terminal 2's shared checkpoint still have to walk into T3 to reach it.
