John and Nassir treated us like royalty. They went way beyond our expectations to accommodate us and get us seated and served quickly. Top notch customer service. They made the beginning of our trip a pleasant one.

If you happen to arrive at EWR for a 7:55am flight, it’s worth noting that Priority Pass lounge access starts at 8am sharp. So, if you want to sit down and eat food off a table, that leaves you with one option: the Unusual Times. My advice? Read the reviews first. That will help you establish the right mindset heading in. (One reviewer, named Juan Felipe Rincon, described the Times simply as “a nightmare”.) Once your expectations have been sufficiently lowered, you’re ready to dive in. There are no frills at the Times. No omelette station (also no omelettes). No lunch before 11am. No metal silverware. No knives at all (metal, plastic or otherwise). The continental breakfast costs 18 for low fat yogurt and a muffin. But, especially when compared to the continental breakfast, the 15.50 bacon egg and cheese is a relatively good value. And the coffee - despite it’s burnt aroma - really hit the spot. So, when deciding between going hungry before a 7 hour international flight or braving the (unusual) Times, you can be reasonably confident you’re making the right choice. There are no certainties in this life. But, in these strange times, at least there’s one restaurant at Newark Airport Terminal B you can count on. Even if it is a little bit... unusual. And... if we’re really being honest with ourselves... who isn’t a little bit unusual? Respectfully submitted, EBR from EWR

Not as bad as everyone makes out and the staff were friendly. Airport prices, sure, but not a bad place for a bite and a brew.
