RDU is beefing up the airport's eating and drinking options

Some beloved local restaurants along with well-known chains are opening up shop in Raleigh-Durham International Airport.

Why it matters: The added restaurants are a welcome addition to RDU, which has long had fewer options than other major airports.

• Opening dates have not yet been set.

Raleigh Beer Garden is the only new addition to Terminal 1.

Here's what's coming to Terminal 2:

• Adios!, by Raleigh's Cortez and Durham's Little Bull chef Oscar Diaz
• Durham’s Beyú Caffé, which will be located before security in both terminals
• Black & White Coffee Roasters, whose original location is near downtown Raleigh
• Bond Brothers Taproom and Kitchen
• Bongiorno and Son
• Butcher’s Burger & Bar
• Conniption Cocktail Bar, developed in partnership with Durham Distillery
• Crawford's Genuine by local chef Scott Crawford
• Dunkin’
• Half Moon Empanadas
• Guy’s Pizza Joint, by Guy Fieri
• Lonerider Brewery Co., which is based in Cary

Of note: Temporary grab-and-go spots will also be added in both terminals.
