If you want to grab something to eat before going through airport security, you can get coffee and bakery items at LaVazza Coffee and Pastry in Terminal A. Keep in mind that you will not be able to bring your drink through security screening, so plan accordingly.
After passing through security at Bradley International Airport, you have a number of options for food. In the food court in Terminal A, you will find McDonald's, Einstein's Bagels, Fresh City, and Boston Pizza. Fresh City offers made-to-order stir-fry, sandwiches, salads, burritos and more, and you can get a slice of pizza or other fast Italian food at Boston Pizza.

Bradley International Airport has limited options for sit-down dining. In July of 2009, the Black Bear Saloon opened in Terminal A. The restaurant features a pub-style menu, and serves lunch and dinner every day, and breakfast Sunday through Friday. The Black Bear Saloon also features a full bar, and a number of televisions so you can catch up on sports or news while you wait for your flight. You can also get seafood at Lock's Landing restaurant in Terminal A.
The Sheraton Hotel, located between airport terminals A and B, is home to Concorde's Grill, a full service casual restaurant. Concorde's serves breakfast, lunch and dinner every day. The Sheraton also has two full service lounges, Cloud Nine and the Lobby Lounge, serving drinks and pub food. Finally, at the Sheraton Café in the hotel lobby, you can get Starbucks coffee and baked goods. Keep in mind that the Sheraton is outside of security; if you plan to eat here, leave plenty of time to pass through airport security before your flight.
