    One of my BFFs lives in Elizabeth, New Jersey and is currently located right on Elizabeth Avenue. Little did I know that during my recent visit, I'd have the opportunity to try one of the most renowned local places. Enter my newbie-experience with Banana's King. Or Banana King. I'm not sure which it actually is. Their sign says one thing, their Yelp listing says another. And I have no idea how to ask because I don't speak Spanish, which is what pretty much everyone here does. I still managed to order okay, even tho I am "Grande Rojo Gringo." I love trying local food, especially if it's stuff I've never heard of or tried before. I had a King Patacon, which is a flattened deep-fried plantain with grilled chicken, shrimp, cheese and tomatoes. It was tasty in a "this is great, but I never need to eat it again" kind of way. I also tried the salchipapas, which are fries with mayo, slices of beef sausage and kind of a thousand island dressing that is all the rage around here. You could get it on anything, and there was a special dispenser so you can even have more. The salchipappas were also tasty, and I also never need to eat that again. Really, it wasn't bad at all. But it's definitely not for me. Everything was prepared well, quick and hot. Oh, and I also ordered a coconut shake, because they claim to have the world's best, or something like that. It wasn't. It was nasty. Too sweet and tasted more like hazelnut than coconut. Fail on that. I'd come back and try a few more things. Maybe next visit.

    None of the cooks are wearing masks!!!!

    Absolutely horrible that not just 1 but ALL 3 cooks did not have their masks on while preparing multiple customers orders. They have a sign posted that no one is permitted to enter without a mask but the employees are not enforcing this state mandated order !! If they can't comply with the states safety measures then they should be shut down for putting others at risk in the middle of this pandemic that has already taken so many lives!!

    Great for a quick meal. Better than eating McDonalds or Taco Bell.. Better quality.. --Food: Tasty. Freshly made. Love the cheesesteak sandwich which is about $4. Quality quick (on the go) good. --Drinks: No liquor. Shakes are worth trying :) --Price: Very reasonable. The portion is great for the price. --Atmosphere: Definitely the Spanish chicken shack sort of feel. Nothing fancy.

From past bad experiences with burgers and product quality issues in many different airport restaurants, I normally don't order burgers because they are always cold, dry, tasteless, and downright horrible. But this burger from Shake Shack was surprisingly very good. I ordered from the self-serving kiosk and the wait time for my order was about 5 minutes. The entire restaurant including the counter area, dining area, and even the condiments station was all very clean and inviting. I ordered the Double Shack Burger made with two smashed angus beef patties, American cheese, and topped with lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, and Shack Sauce on a toasted potato bun, an order of fries and a 20 oz bottled drink for $24.79. A little step, but of course, all menu items are à la carte, and this is airport dining. The bun was fresh soft, and lightly toasted. The burger patties were nicely smashed, hot, juicy, the cheese melted and all the condiments were fresh, cool, and bright. This burger was prepared with care and assembled beautifully to create the perfect burger. The crinkle cut fries were perfectly cooked, lightly salted, and golden brown. This was by far the BEST airport burger and fries I have ever eaten. Date of Visit: Saturday 05-03-26 Shake Shack | Newark Liberty International Airport | Terminal A

We grabbed a couple of sandwiches from Jersey Mikes to snack on for the trip home, we weren't the only ones but persistent and early arrival paid off after about 30 minutes we had our meals and were set for the flight. I had the Roast beef and I'm telling you they loaded my regular sub up. They're were plenty of space to sit and watch h folks hustling through. Service was good I gotta say they are some sandwich masters they never stopped making then while we were there. Certainly added some comfort to our flight home.

    Don't ask me why the reviews for Jersey Mikes in Terminal A of Newark Airport are so low…read more Jersey Mike's are good everywhere at every location I have been to. They were completely lovely at Newark Airport. I was very very happy to have my Philadelphia Cheesesteak from Jersey Mike's. It was a fine sandwich. It was actual food - which is not always what you get when you eat at the airport. My trip home had been rancid up to that point - and turned good from Jersey Mike's on afterward. It could be that Jersey Yelpers are fussy. I would not rule that out. I am often blown away by the sheer hostility of Yelp Reviews I read coming out of New York City. However, there may be a sense in which both me and the Newark Airport Jersey Mike Haters have some basis for agreement. * * * The most common complaint here is that people don't like the freshness of the ingredients. I had a hot sub - a cheesesteak. If vegetables such as lettuce, tomatoes or peppers are not as fresh as they could be - that would be a non-issue on a cheesesteak or a meatball sub that doesn't get lettuce, tomatoes or peppers. So if you want to be super-cautious - order from the hot food side of the menu. * * * The other issue is serving time or hostility from servers. I have encountered such issues at Newark Airport although not from this particular Jersey Mikes. The one time i was not served because i was Jewish (this was a pretty clear case) was at a food service establishment at Newark Airport. That "can" be a local management issue ... if say a shift supervisor or a set of people working on the same shift all see eye to eye on certain issues. So some of the stories in other reviews about people of a certain ethnicity being treated badly "might" be true. BUT Those issues change when the shift supervisor changes or when a shift team changes. Turnover at a fast food place at an airport is sky high. The same people are not likely to be around two years later or one year later or even six months later. If I was a customer experience supervisor at Jersey Mike's (or more probably, a customer experience supervisor at the hospitality industry subcontractor that runs the various brand name restaurants at Newark Airport) I would look into such Yelp reviews to see if anything is going on. However, as a customer, I would not be worried about such experiences replicating.
