Customer Reviews
For an airport restaurant, this place really stands out! The food was fresh, tasty, and served surprisingly fast—perfect when you’re on the go. The staff were friendly and welcoming, making the quick stop even more pleasant. Definitely one of the better airport dining experiences I’ve had!
I had a decent experience overall, but the food itself left much to be desired. While the service was absolutely a 10 out of 10—attentive, professional, and friendly—the food didn’t quite live up to the rest of the experience. Everything was clean and well-maintained, and the ambiance was pleasant, but unfortunately, the food quality was not the greatest. Some dishes lacked flavor, and the portions didn’t justify the price. It felt highly overpriced for what was served. I expected more considering the cost. It’s a shame because everything else—from the cleanliness to the staff—was truly impressive. If the kitchen stepped up the quality and flavor of the food, this place could easily be a top recommendation. For now, I’d come back for the drinks or atmosphere, but not necessarily for the fo
High priced bowl as you might expect from an airport dinning experience. The to go bowl was ok, warm and about half the size of a chipotle bowl. It’s enough to get you by and taste was not bad.
We visit this location at the LGA airport whenever we fly through. Always great service, very friendly staff, and lively atmosphere. Sitting at the bar is fun and great people watching while waiting for your food. The portions are generous, great selection on the menu, and the offerings are spiced/seasoned well. Others mention it’s overpriced, but it’s an airport joint so of course it’s overpriced- every place at an airport is! But for the portion size (drinks and food), the prices here are fair. Love the staff here!!
The worst chips and salsa I’ve ever had in my life. The chips are very hard. What is supposed to be salsa is really just some sort of marinara sauce with a bunch of pepper in it. Add a $4.55 Coca-Cola and The meal becomes a $15 snack. And people just say, it’s airport prices, as if that excuses it. And if you don’t leave a tip for a $4.55 Coca-Cola, the clerk’s smile fades and the service becomes slow. Do not recommend but you are a hostage here so you’ll probably buy it.
