Amazing fish and chips. pleasant service. My soft drink never got empty. It was a wonderfully quiet place away from the bustle of the airport. Card only, does not take cash. Would stop there again. read more

It's not every day you encounter an African restaurant at an airport. So when we walked past Africa Lounge, we were intrigued and decided to grab lunch while we waited for our layover. Spicy Beef Sambusa (3/5) - This entree came with jollaf rice, three pieces of plantains, and two ground beef-filled sambusas (similar to samosas). The sambusas paired well with the tamarind chutney. Fish and Chips (3/5) - This was your classic fish and chips entree with crispy fried fish on a bed of french fries. read more

Close to our gate was the Africa Lounge that had several options for craft beer for Ben to try that he hadn't had yet. The theme as you can guess was Africa, which was pretty good with the decor and wood cravings. We ordered some wings and fries to share and hold us over for our return flight back to Tampa. I loved the type of fries they served. read more

Pretty horrible food that is extremely overpriced. Felt bad for the server as it wasn't his fault but hard to be cheerful paying for something so bad. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

This place is pretty mediocre for Seatac. It's dark, the food is meh, and the prices are as they are anywhere in the airport. Their fries are pretty good and the staff can be friendly at times but I'd go just about anywhere else at Seatac. read more

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. read more

Africa Lounge - "Salmon" plate - American Near Me - SeaTac, Washington

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 read more

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. read more

For an airport restaurant I thought this place was fair to good. The service was very friendly and it was quick the times I've been there, although I have only ordered food here once. The prices are airport prices, not any more or less than anywhere else, I would say. I had a french dip with fries and they were good for the situation, although, there are other places in the airport I rather eat when I have the time or my gate is closer to them. In the end I probably wouldn't come to this place if it was outside of the airport unless the food and drinks were lower than the surrounding places, but I can easily imagine coming here again when I fly out of this gate and need a bite and a drink. read more

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. read more

After a terrible experience finding food at the B gates, we had time so we walked on over to the A gates. We walked right in and sat down at Africa Lounge. It took a few minutes to get acknowledged but once we were service was very good. I had a French dip with fries and Hubbs had spice beef samosas. I tried the plantain and it was delicious! Overall it was good and I would probably go back if I ever come back to SeaTac. read more

They don't take cash. This discriminates against the unbanked. Those are consumers with lower income or unstable income, people with less education, people of color, and working-age people with disabilities. For those consumers, stores like this that don't accept cash are problem because they leave them with no way to shop. In effect, these stores are discriminating against poorer consumers. Only afterwards do they notify you. The clam chowder was good. The waitress took the cash tip. read more

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. read more

Beer was excellent. Food was OK and about what you expect at an airport. The beer, salmon burger and fries hit the spot.

Very bad and overpriced. But there are very limited options in this airport. The food is edible.

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! read more

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. read more

My husband and I had just come off a one week cruise and we had a six hour wait at the airport for our flight home due to when our shuttle from the ship arrived versus when we could get a flight. So we wandered the airport. Just a recommendation if you are flying out of Sea Tac, don't go looking for food until you have gone through security. We spent almost 45 minutes walking the lines and then going through the actual security screeners. It made me wonder what it would be like on the other side of security. I was pleasantly surprised to find it was quite calm in the area near Africa Lounge. And even though this restaurant is just off the main thoroughfare, it was quiet and pleasant sitting inside the restaurant's dining area. We had their fish and chips and it was so good (remember, we had just come off a week long cruise). Crispy fish with the perfect crunch and fries that didn't need much extra salt. The waitress was very friendly, even though she was very busy moving back and forth between several tables. If you are flying Southwest, their concourse is very old and dated as of now (late 2025). I recommend hanging out in the newer concourse until your flight is closer (that's what we did). And definitely try Africa Lounge. read more

The sweet Thai chili chicken wings were fried to death but loved the spice. The fries were seasoned and tasty. The sambusas were suuuuuper good. Jollof had some zing, but overall was pretty dry. Quick service in and out! read more

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!

Adjust your expectations. You are in an airport. No one eats here if they are 'unbanked'. If you are picky or have high expecations, bring your own food. Their business is to deliver fast food. There are few places in the Seattle airport where you can sit down and have something to eat AND have an adult beverage. This is one of them. How was the service? FINE. Was the french dip way overpriced? YES. Was the dipping broth mostly tasteless? YES. Was I hungry and just needed something to eat, do some work on my laptop and wanted a glass of wine? YES. It is what is is. Could it be better? YES, and it should for the price, but this is what American airports are like. read more

Airport location with a great pour for whatever your favorite beverage may be! The staff no is steady and aware, so as to keep you in the know prior to your flight! Interesting space! read more

Africa Lounge - Nice! - American Near Me - SeaTac, Washington

Nothing screams "Africa" like a burger and fries. Well, not really-but I don't think they can serve zebra here in Seattle. Africa Lounge does a nice job of nailing the safari theme, at least. My wife and I were visiting and saw an empty table-it was open to seat yourself, so we snagged it and looked forward to a few minutes of reprieve from the busy airport. Moments after sitting, a server stopped by to take our order and bring us drinks. They serve Pepsi products, which was truly what we were after. I got the hamburger, my wife ordered the chicken strips; we both also had fries. While not the most amazing meal we have ever had, it was tasty and met the needs of filling our bellies before our flights. I was impressed with how well the server kept up with all the tables-things were hopping in there and she didn't miss a beat. read more

In all fairness, this is an airport restaurant. There is a different level of expectations when it comes to suitcase and layover joints. A, I think, African safari theme that got eaten by lions when it tried to fuse a sport bar into the equation, doesn't really work. It's a bit of a failed attempt. Yet, again, this is the concourse of the SeaTac airport and not Market Street in the UK's Manchester. In all fairness, I am glad they didn't trip out and go Rainforest Cafe extreme. But at the end of the day it's hard to swallow a small 3 egg omelette at nearly $20, even at the monopoly airport. I would have been better served, and at about half the coins w a breakfast sandwich from any of the other eateries--even corporate Starbucks. read more

No matter how hungry and tired you are this is a complete no. WAY over priced for what you are getting. Nothing was good about this - we had an omelette and breakfast foods. No seasonings, everything was clearly just cheap processed and frozen food warmed up- NOPE.. disappointed I thought this was a place to try.. read more

This was my view from the bar at 6 AM when they first opened. My gate was right across from them so it was convenient to be able to still keep a view on your flight while you dine & drink.

Really good food, fun atmosphere and the staff is so incredible and super friendly! Definitely worth a stop if your at the Seattle airport

This restaurant bar and lounge was a relaxing stop in the Seattle airport after a long day of traveling. It offers some African themed dishes, as well as, some more traditional American dishes. It's also black owned. I opted to try the chicken strips and the nachos. Both were really good. I topped it off with a mai tai. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. The food came out quickly, but it wasn't crowded when we arrived. Close to us finishing our food, it started to get more crowded. The restaurant features very nice African designed decor. It has a contactless payment system. I'd definitely stop here again when at the Seattle airport. read more

Someone needs tos seriously check on this horrible chef. The burger patty might as well have been protein powder. The patty was very dry as if it's frozen and cooked twice. Just horrible. We also had some rice and chicken dish. Sauce from a container. Chicken inedible. Rice shaped like an upside down bowl and cooked 2 days ago. This food is stored and old. Almost all of it. This cook should not even have a job. Don't eat here I honestly ate th burger and chewed and chewed into grizzle bc I was so hungry it hurt. I now regret it and should have walked out. The serve doesn't even ask how th renal was when you start. That's waiter 101. Ask the customer how it is when they first stated ratings Nope. I will tell them when I leave. read more

I couldn't order a drink or food , the waitress Edilyn asked for my ID which she didn't ask for from anyone else & then proceeded to tell me my ID isn't good enough & that I would need to show a passport as well. How is my REAL ID not good enough when I'm literally in the airport flying with it ? This is ridiculous , second airport that has done this to me , first one was in buffalo & now this one in Seattle . Don't go here ! read more

They should really rename this the "Mack & Jack's Lounge". This isnt Africa, y'all. This is a PNW staple brew with airport food. Was I happy to get a Blackcat Porter? Yes! Was I confused why I spent 25.00 on Chicken Nachos with no cheese? Also yes. read more
