# Where to eat in Terminal 3 at O'Hare

Terminal 3 food at O'Hare by gate, security side and hours: the Rotunda at G1, bars and restaurants in H and K, markets, and where the hours run out.

Updated October 31, 2026

Food court, Terminal 3

Concourse H has the most places to eat in Terminal 3, and Concourse K has the most bars and restaurants. Everything below is past security except Café Descartes and the Hudson in baggage claim, and the vending machines at Door 3G and ID Badging.

All four checkpoints, 6, 7, 7A and 8, reach every concourse, so food doesn’t decide which one to use. The [Terminal 3 page](https://ordairportguide.com/terminals/terminal-3/) covers the checkpoints, and the [food and shops page](https://ordairportguide.com/dining/) lists every place by terminal.

The airport publishes no menus or prices and doesn’t say which places have table service, so a bar or restaurant is the nearest sign of a sit-down stop. For a quick sandwich, the airport’s markets are:

- Farmers Market at G1
- CIBO Express Gourmet Market at H1
- Green Market at H5 and L3
- BJ’s Gourmet Market at K18

## Concourse G: nearly everything is at the Rotunda by Gate G1

Concourse G runs to Gate G21, but the airport lists no food past Gate G10. If your gate’s in the teens or higher, eat before you walk.

Half Moon Empanadas is open only 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., the shortest hours at the Rotunda.

## Concourse H: Gate H5 has the biggest block, and Gate H14 has a second

Concourse H has two blocks of food, at Gates H1 to H5 and at Gate H14, with single counters between them. The concourse runs to Gate H18, and nothing is listed past H14.

| Rush Street Bar | H14 | After | 7 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. | bar, sandwiches, snacks, beer |

Fulton Street Cafe, La Tapenade and Rush Street Bar are the only places listed past Gate H10, so they’re the answer for a gate at the far end.

## Concourse K: bars and restaurants from Gate K1 to Gate K15

Concourse K’s bars cluster at Gates K1 to K4, with Publican Tavern, Macaroni Grill, The Bronze Tap and Tortas Frontera, and the others sit at Gates K9, K12 and K15.

## Concourse L: a few at the front, then Burger Federation at L20

Concourse L runs to Gate L28, but the airport lists nothing past Gate L20.

## Before security, one café and a Hudson are listed in baggage claim

## Dunkin’ at H5 and Starbucks at K4 are the all-night counters

[Checkpoints](https://ordairportguide.com/security/) 7 and 7A open at 3:30 a.m., Checkpoint 6 at 3:45 a.m. and Checkpoint 8 at 4 a.m. The Dunkin’ at H5 and the Starbucks at K4 are the only restaurants or counters listed open at 3:30 a.m., and the only ones listed open after 10 p.m.

Checkpoints 6 and 7 close at 8 p.m. and Checkpoint 8 at 8:30 p.m. Checkpoint 7A is then the only one open to every passenger after 8:30 p.m. It’s open until 10:30 p.m., half an hour after the McDonald’s counters and both Green Market counters close. The airport’s page also lists a Checkpoint 7 TSA PreCheck lane open from 8:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. The [before 6 a.m. guide](https://ordairportguide.com/guides/food-at-ohare-before-6-am/) and [late night guide](https://ordairportguide.com/guides/food-at-ohare-late-at-night/) cover the whole airport at those hours.

## Vending machines fill the gaps, and one has no hours

The directory names Terminal 3’s vending machines separately from its restaurants, and lists all but one as open 24 hours. It doesn’t say which side of security each machine is on, but the airport’s map files the ones at Door 3G and ID Badging before security and the ones at gates after it.

| Near | Machines |
| --- | --- |
| Gate G3 | Mycha |
| Gate G7 | Nuts on Clark Popcorn, Nuts on Clark Popcorn/Chocolate and Pepsi |
| Gate H1 | AG1, Canteen, Farmer’s Fridge and Windy City Mart Beverages |
| Gate H4 | Nuts on Clark Chocolate/Nut |
| Gate H8 | Nuts on Clark Popcorn/Chocolate (no hours listed) |
| Gate H12 | Windy City Mart Beverages and Windy City Mart Snacks |
| Gate K1 | Nuts on Clark Popcorn, Pepsi and Windy City Mart Snacks |
| Gate K6 | Farmer’s Fridge |
| Gate K12 | Nuts on Clark Popcorn |
| Gate K15 | Farmer’s Fridge, Nuts on Clark Chocolate/Nut and Windy City Mart Snacks |
| Gate L20 | Nuts on Clark Popcorn |
| Door 3G | Two Canteen, two Farmer’s Fridge, Pepsi and Starbucks |
| ID Badging | Canteen, Pepsi and Windy City Mart Beverages |
| Departures / Check-In | Farmer’s Fridge |

[Windy City Mart Drinks](https://ordairportguide.com/venues/windy-city-mart-drinks/) and [Travel Essentials](https://ordairportguide.com/venues/travel-essentials/) are also on the Departures / Check-In level. The airport doesn’t give either a gate or hours.

## With more time, or a specific craving

Terminal 3 connects on foot past security to Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, so you aren’t limited to the food above. The [Terminal 1](https://ordairportguide.com/guides/where-eat-terminal-1-at-ohare/) and [Terminal 2](https://ordairportguide.com/guides/where-eat-terminal-2-at-ohare/) food guides list theirs by gate, and the [walking guide](https://ordairportguide.com/guides/can-you-walk-between-ohare-terminals-after-security/) covers the walk between terminals.

For a long layover, the [sit-down restaurants guide](https://ordairportguide.com/guides/sit-down-restaurants-at-ohare-long-layover/) compares restaurants across terminals. For one craving, the [pizza](https://ordairportguide.com/guides/chicago-style-pizza-at-ohare-where-find-it/), [hot dog](https://ordairportguide.com/guides/chicago-hot-dogs-local-classics-at-ohare/), [coffee](https://ordairportguide.com/guides/coffee-at-ohare-local-roasters-chains-terminal/) and [bars](https://ordairportguide.com/guides/bars-at-ohare-goose-island-wine-bars-sports-bars/) guides each compare Terminal 3 with the other terminals.
