Independence Prime

Independence Prime sits in the heart of Terminal B at Philadelphia International Airport, just steps from Gate B23 and the bustling baggage claim carousel. Open daily from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., the steakhouse offers a modern industrial interior with reclaimed brick walls, polished copper accents, and floor‑to‑ceiling windows that frame the runway’s take‑off and landing choreography. Signature dishes include a 28‑oz USDA Prime Ribeye, dry‑aged New York Strip, and a classic Porterhouse, each hand‑seared over a wood‑fired grill and finished with a house‑made herb butter. The menu also features a Philly‑inspired “Cheesesteak Prime”—thin‑sliced ribeye, provolone, caramelized onions, and a drizzle of peppercorn sauce—bridging local tradition with upscale dining. Chef Marcus “Mack” Donovan, a former pitmaster at a historic South Philly grill, curates the menu, emphasizing locally sourced Pennsylvania beef and seasonal side dishes such as roasted root vegetables, truffle‑infused mac & cheese, and a crisp arugula salad with Pennsylvania apple vinaigrette. The bar showcases a curated selection of Pennsylvania craft beers, small‑batch bourbons, and a cocktail program highlighting the “Liberty Lemonade,” a bourbon‑based drink with fresh lemon, honey, and a splash of local ginger beer. Guests can enjoy free high‑speed Wi‑Fi, over 2,000 power outlets, and a private lounge for business travelers. Whether you’re catching a flight or waiting for a layover, Independence Prime promises a full‑flavored, high‑energy experience that feels like a quick trip to a downtown Philly steakhouse without leaving the terminal.
