We were skeptical about eating here due to the low ratings but at the same time we were kind of trapped at the hotel. Food: it was definitely not bad. It is a normal food you would get at a hotel restaurant. Burger was cooked properly and the cheesesteak was decent. Service: slow but only one person working to serve multiple. He did a great job based on the resources management gave to him. Ambiance: quiet, nice setting, our booth table had a TV as well. Don't read into the reviews. Just come and enjoy! read more

Ok people ... ITS A HOTEL BAR !!! Typical pub food options. We had an appetizer sampler. Wasn't bad - nothing spectacular great. Typical frozen food options. Drinks were potent. Biggest disappointment was that I'm in Philadelphia and they couldn't have the Phillies game on - we asked and were told their cable service didn't offer Phillies games ...... seriously ?!?!?

If you've stayed at as many Marriotts as I have, you recognize that this hotel restaurant has a Marriott Vibe and this hotel restaurant lives up to this statement. When I arrived and checked in at the hotel, I was exhausted and in need of sleep. So I ordered my food to go and since I was in Philly, I ordered the cheese steak. The sandwich itself was good but the fries were AMAZING. Employees were nice and I would say this hotel restaurant is better than most. read more

Ya it was good despite the reviews from 3 years ago on Yelp. Cheese steak was very good. Large portion as well. Price was about right for an airport hotel. Service was great explaining the Steve Wing sauce. Pretty good, sweet side with a garlic finish homemade by the chef "Steve" read more

My husband and I had a cancelled flight so ended up staying two days. We ate here twice for dinner and also had their Aviation Grill breakfast that comes with coffee and juice. I had the Quinoa burrata salad and chicken noodle soup. My husband had the chicken Caesar salad. We also had the pepperoni flatbread. All meals were good quality and large portions. The salads were really beautifully presented and delicious. If I had one complaint it would be that the chicken in the soup was a bit dry, but the flavor was great. The staff was busy but attentive and helpful. The seating is comfortable. There are TV's if you want to watch the game while eating. Overall we were happily surprised considering it's an airport hotel. read more

Unfortunately, the WORST "ribeye" steak I've ever had in my life! So tough, I couldn't eat it!

Really good for a Marriott. Fully stocked bar (even had Fernet, IYKYK). Ordered the cheesesteak, because, when in Rome, and it was surprisingly good. Bartender was a bit of a dud but otherwise a good experience overall. read more

Nice ambience & service. Open until 11:30 pm - great for late arrivals! Really good burger - as noted in Yelp reviews. Didn't love fries. Hot and cooked fine, but I don't like the batter style fries. They did have Dijon Mustard. A must for my burger & fries Wine list ok, but this is an airport hotel. Solid choice! read more

Within the Marriott at the airport. Wednesday late ish dinner. I had the burger and a side salad. They were busy so it did take a little long. My co worker had wings and fries. He says a 3.5 stars. My meal a solid 4. I enjoyed it. read more

I was staying at the Philadelphia Airport Marriott and did not want to venture out so I decided to try The Aviation Grill. Let me just say that they absolutely lived up to their low rating. I ordered a draught beer, a glass of water, a ceasars salad, the braised pork chop with mashed potatoes, and a brownie ice cream Sunday for desert. I would have given no stars but I gave 1 star because the beer was very cold and good. The glass of water was undrinkable and tasted like it was fresh out of the river. The Ceasars Salad was very bland and had absolutely no flavor to the dressing. The pork chop was way over cooked and was very dry and tough. The mashed potatoes were ok but nothing to write home about. I would have never thought that you could mess up a hot brownie ice cream Sunday but they managed to do that to keep on par with the rest of the meal. The brownie was little square cubes of brownie bites out of a package with some chocolate and vanilla ice cream on top with some whipped cream and a slight drizzle of chocolate on top of all of it. Not only would I not recommend this restaurant, but it had to be the worst Marriott restaurant I have ever eaten in. If you ever find yourself staying at this hotel please stop by a McDonald's or a local gas station to get a bite to eat before you check in. read more

This is the hotel's restaurant. Since the hotel is at the airport, it's slim pickings when it comes to food options. You basically have the Aviation Grill. I did see a hot dog stand at the baggage claim area. But that was it. So this is pretty much it. They serve lunch and dinner. You can dine in, pick up or have it delivered to your room. They have a full bar with TV screens so you can watch sports. They have a nice selection of craft beers, for those who like craft beer. We placed an order for room service. From what I understood, the kids menu was not available for room service. Odd, but whatever... had to pick it up. Didn't take too long. They called when it was ready to pick up. We got the bourbon bbq wings, aviation burger with fries for my wife, cheese steak with side salad for me, kids burger with fries for my son, and carrot cake for dessert. I also got a Dogfish Head 90min IPA. The wings were spot on. Great flavor. The burgers were also good, as was the carrot cake. The miss was my cheese steak. I wasn't expecting it to be excellent but I was hoping it would be better. It was just average. The pickle that came with the sandwich was excellent, though. Had a nice crunch to it. At the end of the day, the meal was satisfying. If I find myself back at the Airport Marriott, I wouldn't mind eating here again, just not the reorder the cheese steak. read more

I was very much in need of food after I had already left the PHL security area (hardly any vendors at baggage claim or check in counters). This restaurant was only a few minutes walk via skybridges for a comfortable and tasty experience. Multiple staff members were really nice. Definitely expect airport/hotel prices. I am a lighter eater and was very full after eating about 3/4 of my breakfast sandwich meal. The restaurant has modern decor with exposed bulbs, many comfy booths, and warm wood tables. The hotel lobby area appeared welcoming and clean (much more clean and less smelly than PHL). read more

Hopped in for a late lunch after missing a flight around 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Was greeted immediately by a very friendly staff member behind the bar and she reviewed the menu with me. Settled on the smoked turkey burnt end sandwich and it was tremendous. Fries were good and everything was on point at a reasonable price. I question the lower ratings that preceded my review, but for the most part so many of the frequent travelers are all Primadonna's that whine like hurt princesses when something is below an imaginary standard. Everything about this was first class. read more

My family and I went here after the Army Navy game. We were starving and everywhere was packed, so we were thankful that this restaurant had no wait! I got the salmon BLT and it was SO GOOD. Maybe I was starving, maybe it was the best salmon sandwich I've ever had, but all I know was that it hit the spot. The side caesar was also really good- not too heavy on the dressing!! read more

Solid. One of the best burgers I've had. Great service. I told the server how much I enjoy my meal and brought the chef out! Top notch for a hotel restaurant. read more

Flew into Philadelphia airport and was so happy not to go outside (cold) and stayed at the Marriott (connected to the airport). The hotel is dated but the restaurant is not. I will state the service was excellent, especially Bonnie. I asked Bonnie what she would recommend and it was the Philly Cheesesteak (see attached picture). The picture in the lighted menu doesn't say, choose me. The picture I attached, does! Plenty of choices for beverages, with lunch or dinner. I stayed at the Marriott for two nights and each night I had the Philly Cheesesteaks and not at all disappointed. read more

I really can't comment on the food. But I will say that we had a couple of drinks at the bar and the bartender was hands-down. One of the better ones. I've come across at a hotel. Great poor great style. Expensive drinks but that's exactly what you expect at a hotel bar so enjoy. read more

Aviation Grill - Manhatten - American Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

For an airport restaurant, this was not bad at all! I got a cheeseburger with greens on the side, and it was an enormous meal for me. Now I can't tell if it was an outstanding burger or if American food just hit differently after being abroad for two weeks; regardless, I enjoyed the heck out of it! I was also filled up for the entirety of the day after eating that for lunch. The greens it came with had a vinaigrette and it was a great side dish (could also get fries). I did try my mother-in-law's fries and they were so fat and fluffy! Ambiance is cozy and welcoming. I saw a business interview happening nearby, and there were plenty of families and travelers. Also, the waitress was great, and she opened a table for us in an area she wasn't waiting on, much appreciated! read more

As I type this review, it has easily been over 20 minutes since I've taken my last bite of the rather crappy food. I should have walked back into the PHL airport terminal and just hit up the food court found within. After a super long day of flying, I'm just too beat to walk back on over, so, I tried out the Aviation Grill. Great name, but piss poor service, dry philly cheesesteak, no ketchup or hot sauce offered and no offer on a refill on my ice tea. Is it possible to have less than one star? This place has simply crashed and burned, and I won't be coming back here ever again. Do yourself a favor. If you are staying at the airport Marriott, grab your food to go from the airport terminal, and bring with you on your overnight to this hotel. Good luck on your happy travels thru the PHL airport. Avoid the Aviation Grill. All thumbs down. read more

Great food. I loved the bourbon bbq wings and the carrot cake. They were my favorite. The aviation burger was also very good. We ordered pickup so we could eat in our room. They didn't provide us any ketchup, mustard, or mayo. I ended up dipping the top bun of the burger in the bourbon bbq sauce. read more

Nestled inside the Philadelphia airport this happens to be in my opinion one of the better Marriott restaurants I've encounters, staff were friendly especially our waiter Eman? Sorry for butchering his name. He was beyond amazing and great with my little child. Highly recommend for ease of access and great food. read more

It's hard to judge this as an independent restaraunt as it's basically your one choice if you are staying at the airport and don't want to venture far. The staff is friendly and helpful with choices. Our waiter recommended the Cajun chicken pasta dish, which had very tender chicken and a decent sauce. I would add more spinach, but I like veggies. I had the salad topped with salmon. Nice flavors. Great pours on the draft beer and they do have a few locals on tap. I found the temperature chilly, so bring a jacket. read more

Aviation Grill - Menu. September 2021 - American Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I came here while staying at the airport Marriott which makes sense because this is the restaurant attached to the motel. First, it was very busy. There were no bar seats available and when eating by myself I would much rather sit at the bar so that was my first disappointment. My second was I had to wait an extended period of time for a table for 1. The hostess was just slow. Once I sat down, the service was fast, and I have no complaints there. I ordered a NY Strip and there is nothing to say besides it was ordinary. It seemed to be totally unspiced and simply bland. I ordered it rare which it was. However, I like the outside to be much warmer than this steak was. I know it is a hotel restaurant, and that is what you get. I also had a garden salad which was good. I have no complaints with regard to the salad. They had blu cheese which was not on the menu but they had it. I prefer really chunky blu cheese but they had creamy. I guess that is just a preference though. The bottom line is this is an ok place to eat. The issue is that it should be much better at this price point. I will probably eat here again if I ever stay at the Philly airport Marriott again, but the best I can say is it is a serviceable restaurant. read more

Aviation Grill - NY Strip Rare - American Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Aviation Thriller Ok... laying over in Philly staying the night at the marriot- 0 restaurant that are recommended using Yelp that is above 3 stars... looking and feeling kinda sketchy. But who cares right? I am celebrating another year around the sun and a little desperate to get checked in and settle down since I am traveling from Lisboa to Philly with final destination to Atlanta on y first shuttle to leave PHI at 5:30am. This is PHI INT'L mind you so expectations are kinda high. With no great restaurants in the footprint of the airport within a 10 mile radius my senses were triggered. So rather than venture I decided-to stay at this Marriott connected to the airport... huge mistake, let me explain. With the frequency of travel a qualification for a free nights stay with points was on the books. Tried to book this online but this listed hotel was not showing up under the points search. Walked over to the from desk and was greeted by Eric who stated that management took their hotel off of the points list since they were approaching "sold out" status and that if the decision was to be made to stay at this location they wanted 309.00 per night! They gave me a referral in a list form of nearby Marriott's in the area. Some they said were half the price but by the time you called and finally get an answer they were sold out. They also stated that these hotels had shuttles. This turned out to be untrue as well. After trying to negotiate with no budging I decided to stay and pay the money. The only restaurant that was worth a stab was the aviation grill that was attached to the hotel so basically a Marriott restaurant. Looked at the menu and the pickings were slim and not the best from a health perspective but whatever, its my day. Drinks and appetisers were over priced and not in good taste. An 8 piece buffalo wing was 16.00 = 2 bucks per wing! It didn't make sense that a baseline cocktail was 16.00 and not complimentary to the food. As the host made his way to a seated table there was a spill of sticky Kool-Aid on the floor that was had to walk over to get our table. When i stepped into the concoction my show e was stuck like a magnet to the sticky solution. The host then went in the back and came out with a hand towel no soap, no bucket and threw the towel on the floor in this COVID-19 environment and wiped or mopped up the floor with his shoe and his leg. Where is the mop? Where is management?? He didn't even post a cuidado or caution sign to make people aware of the wetness on the ground. So i went to the bar instead only to find a bartender that mixed drink, basic drinks from a recipe book that were not that great! All in all I spent 67.00 for 2 appetizers and two 8 piece wings. The hotel will be reviewed shortly... read more

The manager, William truly went above and beyond for me! I ate at the bar and upon going back to my room, I must have misplaced my credit card. Few moments later I received multiple fraud alerts from my bank. Someone spent over $500 on my credit card at the restaurant and gift shop. William was SUPER helpful and investigated this for me. Thanks to him, we were able to track down each transaction and issue a refund. He also offered me a meal just to help comfort me. William displayed true sympathy for my circumstances and the highest level of Customer Service. Forever thankful for him and his team! read more

Over priced hotel food. $20 for a Philly cheesesteak.. with hot under cooked fried. $24 for a glass of house wine . It was more expensive than a grey goose martini . Omg. Update. I ordered house cab but the bartender said it's garbage and gave me something "better" without telling me the price change. Btw the better bottle is $10 in store. This place is running a scam hoping you don't catch it. I hope you can expense your meal. The pretzels were good. read more

Aviation grill is the restaurant lounge for the Airport Marriott. As a bar, they have a limited draught beer selection, decent wine selection and limited spirits. But you won't be dry. The menu has six entrees, a bunch of apps, and a few salads and sandwiches. The wings I had were very good, crisp with garlic and herb. The Korean short rib buns were a definite miss. The beef was well seasoned and the Korean gochujan sauce was adequate but, the light puffy bun was replaced by a deep fried piece unidentifiable bread. Worth eating but choose wisely. read more

Ordered the Aviator Burger without the bun and fries but instead asked to have it served in a bed of lettuce. They said no problem. The burger itself simply did not taste that good. The toppings I requested were not correct and the "bed of lettuce" was meager at best. Just an unfortunate experience for such a high price. It's late and I have a very early flight in the morning or I'd send it back. The server was very friendly which kept this particular meal above a "1". I'm sure I'll be in the situation where I'll have to eat here again and I hope next time it will be better!! read more

Only in town for the night to attend a conference at the Marriott connected to the hotel and you HAVE to eat... right? Well, I'm glad the company was paying and not me. Here's why... Atmosphere: The overall theme of the restaurant is really fun and lively. Hence the name, it's centered around planes, probably because it's connected to an airport. Lol. I could be wrong... anyway, the concept is very open. On the same floor as the lobby with plenty of light and soft music playing this place makes for a great spot to hang out. Service: Here is where they lost a star. I sat at the bar for lunch the first day and the service was SO SLOW. I really don't care if the lunch rush was over or if it was high noon, it shouldn't take me flagging a manager in a suit walking by to get a refill for my water or to get my co-worker who showed up after me a menu to order from. Then when I finally get your attention, don't look pissed that you have to work here. Remember, that too... is a choice.... Let's talk about dinner that same night. We had Amy. She just... didn't look happy to be there. Neither are we. You know? No rental car, stuck in the hotel away from our families, high prices, I mean... at least smile and make this experience a good one. *Sigh*. I had a steak and it came out at a very different temperature than what I requested. I don't know if that mistake falls on the waitress or on the cooks/chefs. Doesn't matter, I sent it back and had it done correctly. It just wasn't a pleasurable service experience. Breakfast however... Debbie, she saved the day or... rather got our day started on the right foot! She was bubbly, friendly and attentive. She made sure our group of 9 had everything we needed and did it all with a smile on her face. I appreciated that. Food: The food though... was VERY good. The quality was absolutely there and alone... made it worth eating here... if someone else is paying. Lol. I'll get to that later. For lunch I went with the Ahi Tuna appetizer as well as their Orange Blossom Honey wings. Both were FANTASTIC, aside from the tuna being only 3 pieces. For dinner I tried their Habanero wings (which weren't that spicy) and their 44 Farms 14 oz. Rib Eye. After it was cooked correctly, it was delicious. It came served with a charred Romaine salad and red Chimichurri lemon fingerling potatoes. It all blended together very well. For breakfast I tried out their Eggs Benedict which is two poached eggs over a toasted English muffin, Canadian bacon and smothered in a hollandaise sauce. It was quite good! Value: Here's where they lose another star. Guess what, I don't care that the hotel is connected to the airport. That doesn't give them a reason to jack up the prices. 7 wings for $14.00. For real? 3 pieces of tuna for $15.00? Yeah, okay. $37.00 for a Ribeye? Eh... I'll let y'all slide with that one as well as the breakfast. The DRINKS THOUGH. Why was the cheapest 9 oz. glass of wine $18.00 fam?! I could buy a cheap 1.75L of wine for LESS. Anyway... In conclusion... IF I didn't have a rental car... couldn't go anywhere else... AND THE COMPANY was paying... I'd come back here. Don't get me wrong... the food was delicious, but... I hate feeling like I'm being price-gouged simply because of where I am. Feel me? read more

Bad customer service. Their food is okay. But I went down from my hotel room to grab breakfast and I needed a spot away from people to talk on my phone. I knew their would be space as it's never busy at this time. Their was plenty of room so I asked to be seated away from people. The waiter/hostess said that entire side was closed for no reason. And they said I'd have to sit crammed next to the 15 other people in the restaurant. I asked if they could make an exception and they said no, it's closed. So I left and didn't eat there. read more

A very well deserved 4 star. I travel a lot and don't often eat at the hotel restaurant but did today. I ordered the chicken soup and the half baked chicken. I know chicken and chicken but you have to cut down some time. The soup was good and had bow tie noodles as an added twist. The cup was small for $6 but it is a hotel. The winner was the chicken dinner. I have had 1/2 chicken out a lot and most times it is dry and unassuming. This was a great surprise cooked to a moist temperature (bartender said they brine them) and the seasonal veggies were great as well! The twist was the cilantro which added some great taste. For a hotel restaurant this is really impressive. Order the chicken and you will not be disappointed! I also had an old fashioned that was made appropriately. read more
