    Bacon Swiss Burger
    Ashley J.

    The food was honestly not that good. The burger tasted like a frozen patty that was thrown in the oven real quick, and the chicken wings were extremely large, like the cheap oversized ones. For twenty dollars, the quality just didn't match the price.

    Now...keep this review in perspective of an airport restaurant. The place did good all the way around. Food was decent. Overall, the items we had this day were good. The service and speed the food came out was good. I'd go back here any day of the week I'm in the Seattle airport.

    This was actually ok for an airport restaurant, it is very pricey for what it is, but that's always expected at the airport. The waitress was very nice and friendly. We ordered a variety of different dishes and everything was ok, not fast food or sandwiches like most other places at the airport. I would recommend trying it, if you are ok with the prices.

    Stopped by the Africa Lounge mainly to grab a quick snack and watch some football on a Sunday afternoon. The lounge was quiet, which was nice, but that's largely because it's tucked away in a less busy part of the airport. Service was neutral. There was nothing wrong with it, but nothing particularly welcoming or memorable either. The food selection was very basic and didn't feel justified given the cost of access. Overall, the experience felt more functional than enjoyable. Seating was comfortable enough, and the TVs made it easy to follow the game without distractions. It works if you need a calm place to sit, but it's not somewhere I'd go out of my way to visit again. Efficient: Yes First-Time Friendly: Yes Would I Return: No JY review

    "Salmon" plate
    Maia L.

    My server was nice but nothing super spectacular. This is inside of the Seattle Airport, btw. Dropped in during my layover. I'm in Seattle, so I ordered salmon bc duh. When he sat my plate down, I was in utter disbelief. I questioned if they'd gotten my order wrong bc this was clearly a piece of chicken. But nope, tasted like mediocre salmon. I also had a side of jollof, which I knew better, but still gave it a shot. It had wayyy too much ginger and didn't taste close to any jollof I've ever had. The plantains were not fried well. The best part of my meal was the Pepsi. Needless to say, I won't return and I def don't recommend the salmon. Maybe other dishes are ok, but I saw a lady's chicken tenders and they looked like frozen food.

    Nice Bloody Mary cocktail
    De A.

    Service was pleasant but possibly slow but keep in mind that I belatedly realized my flight was boarding in 30 minutes. My drink came quickly but I may have made a mistake in remarking I need another few minutes to make a food choice. That's when I saw my boarding time on my ticket and thought, oh, no. Could I place a grill order and get it to go? I had to flag down a waiter to pay for my drink. I left, a little sad that I didn't try their African food. Yet again, as noted by another reviewer, there were like two items. The rest were very American. I had briefly been hoping (before I rushed out) Iʻd see something like Shaksuka or Chicken mamba or somwthing with piri piri pepper sauce. Lots of potential for this concept. Hope they grow and maybe be a little more brave in their next menu rollout. I donʻt go to ʻAfricaʻ to have clam chowder or a burger. Beautiful atmosphere.

    Spicy beef sambusas
    Robert L.

    Wish Is checked on Yelp before choosing to try this place for lunch. The service was slow so if you make the decision to find here make sure you have ample time or order and pay simultaneously. The show service wasn't the only issue, the food came out lukewarm at best and the beer I ordered was only slightly cold. I ordered the spicy beef sambusas (the only thing on the menu that could be attributed to African roots) $22.39 for two which are small, seasoned rice and three plantains. I will say the flavor of the sambusas was very good, spicy it was not. The seasoned rice was meh. A Mac & Jack's Porter 12oz can $10. Def cannot recommend this place. I should have left after the wait just to order.

    Best wings ever!! The ambience is nice and the service is excellent. Their prime rib sandwich is great also but the wing sauce is the best I have ever tasted! A patron sitting next to me said he gives up going to the airport lounge just to come have these wings.

    Cheeseburger with fries
    Christopher C.

    As far as airport food goes, it's always going to overpriced the cheeseburger is expensive but is decent nonetheless. I'd like to stress that my fathers burger was initially a bit undercooked and they happily made a new one for him. The ambience is a bit busy and difficult to hear, but it's nice place to sit before waiting for a flight. Cheers!

    I had an hour to burn so i decided to give Africa Lounge a try. I almost did not because the reviews were not good. I made it simple, naked wings with sauce on the side with fries and a ginger beer. My food came out quickly. I was not expecting that. So quickly that I studied my entree to make sure it wasn't for someone else. The wings were fried to perfection and the spicy sauce was different but really good. My server was Hanna and she was very nice and came back to check on me ever so often. I would eat here again.

    Bloody Mary
    Tina A.

    I stopped for a cocktail and probably one of the best bloody Mary's I've ever had. "Doug" made it himself and it was delish! He also went the extra mile and asked if I had water in my water bottle, when I said no, he took it back and filled for me! I felt like the only customer in the place even though it was packed! I'll be back!!

Karla came over right away and helped us with the kindest attitude. When we asked how to add sauces, she said, "They're free, just let me know which ones you want," and brought us two of each to try. It's so refreshing to visit a place that doesn't nickel and dime you. After placing our order, I realized I forgot to get a patty for our dog. Karla came by to check on us, and when I told her, she said she would make sure it came out with our food. It actually came out a few minutes before, which was perfect so our dog could eat first. That level of care really stood out. As for the food, everything was delicious. The loaded fries were savory and rich with a perfectly cooked egg on top. The burgers were juicy and flavorful, and the truffle fries with greens were a nice balance. The orange juice was honestly one of the best I've had. It was fresh, tangy, and had just the right amount of sweetness. The space itself is bright, open, and welcoming. There are games at every table, and it's both dog friendly and family friendly. We'll definitely be back. Karla, thank you for going above and beyond to make us feel welcome.

Nice entryway/lobby area. The restaurant itself (and bar) is cozily set up, booths and tables, and charming art work from the movie "Caddy Shack" - loved that! Our server noticed us immediately, was efficient and friendly the entire time, and also makes a mean Billy's Cooler - a very refreshing citrus drink. The brisket sandwich was tops, the fries were good, the loaded potatoes are a fun option (the bacon was a little hard to eat - not crunchy, not soft). The main upset was the French Onion Soup, which was, let's just say, not their specialty area. It was overwhelmingly salty, with meager bread to soak up the broth. The server was kind enough to take it off our bill - it was, at least for me, inedible. My spouse thought the same. This was a glitch in an otherwise fine evening. Also notable was that, even though we came in about an hour before close, they never made us felt rushed. We will definitely go back for the ambience and try other menu items - and other drinks.
