Sarasota Bradenton airport has a new place to eat. You might recognize it

Sarasota Bradenton International Airport has added another dining option for travelers.

Located in Concourse B, the new Mattison’s City Grille restaurant opened Monday. The restaurant group has three other local locations.

There is a City Grille in downtown Sarasota and another along the Bradenton Riverwalk. Mattison’s Forty-One and its catering service are located in south Sarasota.

“It is an honor to be part of the modernization at SRQ,” Mattison’s owner and executive chef Paul Mattison said in a news release. “The partnership between Mattison’s and Paradies Lagardère has been nothing short of amazing.”

Paradies Lagardère, a travel retailer and restaurateur located in more than 90 North American airports, is a partner with Mattison’s City Grille at SRQ.

What’s on Mattison’s airport menu?

Mattison’s airport restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner and features a lounge that offers local craft beer and specialty cocktails, the release said.

Some signature menu items include the Rosemary Honey Glazed Salmon and the Coconut Lime Curry Bowl. Sandwiches include the Freebird Firecracker Chicken sandwich and Main Street Burger.

Mattison’s also has a new breakfast menu for SRQ, which includes a Mediterranean frittata and Breakfast Club B.E.L.T., with a fried egg, crispy bacon, lettuce, tomato and “firecracker” aioli on toasted brioche.

SRQ has two terminals. The airport opened Concourse A in January, featuring five gates and a remote sixth gate for future use.

Concourse B, where Mattison’s City Grille is located, is on the airport’s second floor.
