A USO lounge for members of the military and their families can be found in Terminal B near the baggage claim area.

Finally, there is no need to go hungry or thirsty at the airport. There are plenty of dining options throughout all terminals, including both fast food places like CarlsJr and table-service restaurants serving various cuisines. Coffee shops can also be found throughout the terminals.
Nearest gas station
Another option is a different Chevron station at the intersection of Bristol Street and Irvine Avenue at the exit from the Corona Del Mar Freeway. Just down the street, there is an Arco station whose gas is typically 20 cents cheaper, though it would require a slight circle to turn around to get back to the road to the airport.
