To be honest I'm quite surprised to see how low this restaurant is rated... although I can imagine how airport quality/service varies I guess. For me, I was seated quickly, and though my server was busy, I still felt that he was attentive and my items were delivered in time. I got a filet mignon which was cooked extremely well- with a nice glass of red wine to go with it! My server was also knowledgable on GF options (and the menu was labeled too). I would honestly totally return when back at this airport for another great steak and glass of wine! read more

Eating at the airport is a numbers game. There is always time pressure on the staff to serve quickly and they always seem understaffed/rushing between tables. Ordering was through my phone on a QR code. The food comes hot but I always ask for to go packaging. You never know if you have to leave mid-meal. read more

This review shocks me. I would never expect that an airport steakhouse would get 4 stars but if I could give it 4.5 I would. Was taking a flight to Vegas and wanted to eat something substantial before the flight. Was sharing with the wife and we decided to share a hangar steak. WOW. The steak was phenomenal . Tender and perfectly cooked served with delicious crisp French fries. The old fashioned was also well made. Next time at JFK Terminal 5. Check it out. read more

Standard airport fare, hostess wanted to seat me outside the restaurant rather than at a comfortable booth. The furniture had torn upholstery, service was slow, my water glass had a mystery sauce smeared on it. The good news is that my ribeye was a solid medium rare and tender. The waiter attempted some service recovery but back of house sent the wrong sauce out after the dirty glass. This place needs work for a $75 steak! read more

The breakfast was great. The omelet was fluffy and delicious. The waffle was also good and the fruit topping was all fresh and very sweet.

This place makes you pay before you've even finished eating, which completely kills the sit-down dining experience. A steak costs over $50, drinks are $15 with barely any rum, and you still feel rushed. I don't mind paying extra for good food, but the quality and service didn't match the price. Save your money and go somewhere that actually lets you enjoy your meal. read more

With a 90-minute delay I needed a place to eat and this was probably going to be my only meal for the day. The place looked nice, so I thought I would give it a try without looking anything up. Going to the desk and asking for a table came back with the reply that they would open at 11:00 AM. Well, since that was ten minutes from now we could wait. Oh, but I could get you a seat while you wait. Okay... why was that even a discussion point? Anyway... The menu seemed good, and I went for the Grilled Chicken BLT Club - thick bacon, lettuce, tomato, BBQ mayo sourdough bread with the Hummus and pita to start. The hummus was a little too loose but at least it still worked for me. The Grilled Chicken BLT however, was a bigger challenge. Overall, the taste was okay, but the chicken was a little overdone to the point where if there was a personal threat in the area I could probably have used it to defend myself. Otherwise, it does have nice open seating, and it is located right as you enter Terminal 5. I just wish it was as good as it looked. read more

Hubby and I came here for breakfast since we arrived at the airport early. This restaurant is inside Terminal 5. It was not bad because we knew what to get: bagel and lox. Order this while you're still in NY. We had a waitress named Cash helping us with our order, although ordering via a scan code is easy. We also had two Sunnyside eggs. We liked it here better than getting food at the kiosk because we could sit comfortably here rather than eating at the gate while waiting for the plane. Nice experience. read more

I rarely write reviews, but my experience at 5ive Steak was disappointing from start to finish. First, before you even receive service or food, the server immediately takes your credit card and processes the charge along with a tip. How are you supposed to evaluate service or food quality before anything has even arrived? It sets the tone for a terrible customer experience. I paid $90 for a steak, with no sides and an ice tea. I ordered a ribeye steak and the server specifically confirmed it would be cooked medium. When it came out, it was well-done, dry, overcooked, and nowhere near what I had requested. When I gave direct feedback that I was unhappy with the steak, the server made no effort to address the issue, replace the dish, or even acknowledge the mistake. To make matters worse, once your card has already been charged, there's no recourse for the poor food quality or the lack of service. You're essentially locked into paying for a bad meal and tipping for service you never received. Between the forced pre-payment, overcooked steak, and zero accountability from staff, I cannot recommend 5ive Steak. read more

Terrible Service, Scammed the customer for TIP/Gratuity ~ First, we sat for dine-in n the server take awhile n we still haven't get serve n we r in a bit rush so we decide to just order to-go; so we left the table and walk to the front receptionist and told him we want order to go, and he told us just scan the QR code to order n I asked can't we just order my mouth? We really don't wanna do QR code order app, it is just annoying. N receptionist asked one waitress to come order for us, after she placed everything n told us the total ~ but it seems so much, we order total est $60 ish with tax but she told us $70 ish so we asked for receipts then we noticed she charged the TIP without letting us know ~ we were very unhappy about that, we r friendly with tip but not in this way. So we asked for manager for full refund n we let her know this is to go order, n she was like no ~ this is done in order. We were like NO, we r here outside standing waiting for togo oder, finally we did get our full refund but after going through at least 20-30 min wait back n forth keep asking for refund ~ not happy ! First day & First Time in New York ... bad experience! read more

I'm surprised by the low ratings/reviews. Maybe we got lucky, but we seriously had really tasty and hot (temperature wise) fish and chips and the steak burger was juicy and cooked a perfect medium. Our server was friendly and kind. Would definitely eat here again when at JFK terminal 5. The atmosphere is nice too for an airport restaurant. Doesn't feel like you're in the airport and it's secluded from the noisy food court area that's right outside. read more

At 5:30 AM, the options for a hot breakfast are limited at this terminal. 5ive Steak (pronounced "Five-Ive?" That can't be right) will do though. It's not cheap, but it's also not bad. I think the food can politely and honestly be described as a bit dry, but serviceable. Our server did a great job getting our food and the check to us quickly so we would not miss our flight. And, if you're the kind of person who enjoys eating an omelet and sipping coffee while watching panicked travelers sprint around an airport terminal, this expansive dining area has you covered. read more

We were stuck in the airport with our flight delayed so we decided to grab a bite. We ordered the fried calamari and I had a burger and fries and my girlfriend had the Turkey burger. Unfortunately, the calamari and fries were way too salty for my taste and the burger was just ok. I really wasn't expecting much but it was ok, hence the 3 stars. The waitress was nice and quick. read more

Star of the show is Carl, bartender and the life of the party. Had a flight out and stopped by quickly for some food and drinks, while the food was subpar, he made the experience much more enjoyable. A captivating personality with countless jokes and outgoing personality, led to a comfortable evening before departure. Recommend stopping by the bar and listening to his welcoming attitude and jovial character. You won't be disappointed. read more

Normally, I don't expect much at an airport, and I hate the prices... But this place was definitely worth it! Burger I had was delicious, but the real star was the chopped salad. I would eat that every day, it was so tasty and fresh. Delicious apple vinaigrette, lots of tomatoes and feta cheese... There was an up charge to substitute salad instead of french fries, and it was totally worth it. Shout out to Kamini -- so sweet and helpful, she definitely added to my very pleasant experience here. Overall the service was friendly and fast, very nice open environment, loved it. I would go back next time I'm at JFK! read more

Affordability doesn't come to mind when dining in an airport, but $17 for a mimosa?! Our party of five sat at the bar to grab some drinks and food before our flight. The bartender asked, "this is going to be on one tab, right?" But it seemed to be more of a rhetorical question. We asked for a menu and she pointed at the QR code. As we began ordering from our separate phones (hence separate orders) the bartender was visibly annoyed. Overall, not great service, but I do understand we are here for convenience/location. read more

No one is expecting world class steak at 5ive, but the ones who are desperate enough to chance it (#1) may find themselves in for a rude awakening. I've been disappointed over and over, and because of my disdain for the food court, I have found my way back here in hopes they've improved. It's been nothing but perpetual disappointment. The steaks are rarely (#2) cooked the way I've wanted them. They've either come out well done, medium well, but never like the rare I want. It's been the same with the burgers, which have been either too salty or tough. I've only managed to order the cowboy steak and filet mignon, which have both been mediocre at best. Breakfast is a different yet similar result. I thought breakfast couldn't possibly be messed up (#3) and even then it's bland or very unmemorable. The salads have been a tough sell as has been their seafood options. And of course, everything is airport pricey, which is already a semi-turn off. However, the only thing that hasn't been a 1 star has been the service. They've been much better than the food and probably a big part of my return / hope for improvement. I can stomach good food with bad service at most places, but it's tough when it's the other way around here. _____________ (#1) Which includes yours truly. Multiple times. (#2) This is both a pun and sadly, the truth. (#3) Eggs are always the benchmark. read more

Not much to write about considering it's airport food. I got the impossible burger, and it came with fries. The burger was mediocre but I needed something quick before I got on my flight. The three stars is for the bartender/server because she was super polite and patient. read more

Food was just ehhh. But the service sucked. First they tried to seat us in a dark corner between a bunch of occupied tables in one small area. When we asked for an outside table they again insisted on a table between 2 other occupied tables when 95% of the tables were empty. Why jam the few occupied tables. Then they wouldn't give us a table for 4 where we could have been more comfortable. Every table for 4 was empty as was most of the restaurant. Plus they had to examine the seating chart before they could determine where to seat us twice! I mean the place was damn near empty. What is the big deal?? Pretty poor management. read more

Service. Bartender insisted on an 18% tip for opening a bottle of wine. I had just eaten at their sister restaurant and left an 18% tip to the waitress. When I stated I wanted to leave a custom tip (10%) for uncorking a $72 bottle of wine the bartender insisted on a "full service tip" of 18%. He received a Zero tip as I left without ordering. I'm a frequent flyer out of JFK and I will no longer patronize the 3 sister businesses. As a fellow restaurateur I am flabbergasted! read more

Service was great! 5/5 tbh. Food: Calamari fritti was ok. All the calamari was super salty but the lemon juice did help to cut the saltiness somewhat. Crispy 5ive steak burger was good. I ordered a well done burger and the patty wasn't dry which was nice. My only problem with the burger is that it came with no sauce on the burger. It was plain and very ordinary with any sauce. Also it came with a singular tomato which I thought was kinda stingy. Also the frozen fries were what you would expect. Floppy, no crisp, bland, boring. Some fries were heavily salted, some were just bland. I probably won't stop by again. read more

Pretty bad. Asked for a medium flank steak - both were cooked to oblivion. The steak had no seasoning whatsoever and tasted a little off. There was an oily green tasteless thing in a plastic cup. Maybe the green vegetable oil was so the steak could be swallowed? The wedge salad had, well, a Kroger chunk-o-lettuce and some sliced grape tomatoes and store-bought Kraft blue cheese dressing. If that was Maytag blue cheese, it's because the fridge was made by Maytag. The fries were good. The waiter was really nice. The ketchup packet garnish really set off the green oil. $65 read more

I showed up to have a burger and fries after a 8 hour flight and was sat and told my order would be placed for me. The order was never placed and nobody came and checked on me (I was at a table alone for around an hour). Granted I look young, HOWEVER that is no reason to be treated any differently than any other paying customer and I was treated with great disrespect on my way out after just saying I would be on my way. read more

Decent food. I mean, what do you expect from an airport? We got an omelette and a burger. The country fried potatoes were really good. My issue was actually the cleanliness. Our glasses for our water were dirty and our silverware looked dirty too. I had a hard time with this, being a bit of a clean freak. Our table was set nicely and I did love the little atmosphere they had set-up. Probably just a one-time experience for us. read more

It's a steakhouse. At an airport. Temper your expectations. Not sure if why'd you'd order an expensive steak here, but I ordered the flat iron steak and it was surprisingly great and exactly what I wanted.

Working til 12pm on a Friday, Labor Day weekend, with a non-stop flight ahead- I had to book it from Westchester to JFK for a 3:30 flight and famished- all at the same time. I honestly never have high hopes for airport food, but this place made the cut. Honestly- 5ive's outside 1960's design was more tasteful than our food. But you can choose between Wraps, Sandwiches, Salads and more light stuff. Decided to sit out instead and service from them on was pleasant. I particularly liked that our server asked how much time we had til boarding. Thank you. My "Kale" Salad was all leaves instead of the curly part which I really like. But on the plus side, greens, diced avocado and sliced pink radishes were all fresh. But my complaint on my dish was the 3 shrimp with an $8 charge. Really? Additionally, hubs' Rare Tuna was cooked perfectly except there was Guacamole on the inside of one croissant side. The whole equation was super weird. But thank Goodness for Fries since they're nearly impossible to screw up and come straight from the fryer. Listen...I braced for the worst, but I guess when the gloves come off, 5ive was an ok choice. read more

If you ever wondered what it would feel like having successfully cleared security only to be rectally violated shortly afterwards, then you should try your luck at 5ive Steak. I sat down at a table, waited a little while for a menu. Had to wait a little longer to order. In hindsight this turned out to be a good thing because at first I was going to order a rib eye steak. But at nearly $50 and a burger being priced at around $16 I thought to myself, you are at an airport, better to order a $16 burger and be unhappy than to order a $50 steak and be unhappy. The server finally came, I ordered my burger and he said there is a 30 minute wait for a burger. I checked the clock, confirmed that works for my schedule and told the waiter 30 minutes is fine. Didn't think much of my order until the order for the gentleman sitting next to arrived. He is clearly unhappy, as his burger arrived with American cheese instead of cheddar. And then it hit me, I don't eat burgers, I eat cheeseburgers. I don't recall selecting the cheese for my burger because the waiter never asked me. And he didn't ask me how I wanted the burger cooked either. My burger arrived in 20 minutes, without any cheese and was medium rare. Not at all what I wanted. I didn't make a scene, I didn't complain. My seat is at the back of the airplane and if the burger being too rare was going to make me sick, I'm only 3 steps from the restroom. I get halfway thru my burger and decide this experience really annoyed me to the point that I want to write this review, but I can't because my fingers are covered in moo blood and somehow there are no napkins on my table. At this point I'm about ready to blow a gasket, but I remain calm because I don't want the cabin crew for my flight to think I should be deplaned. Final total with a soda was just over $21. At least the french fries were hot and the refills were free. read more
