Awesome spot to grab a bite while waiting for my flight. WiFi was not great but the food was good and the staff were friendly.

Worst food and service ever. $25 salmon bagel. The idiots couldnt even remember cream cheese. read more

The servers were super rude. They saw me waiting and completely ignored me, so I used the kiosk to order. And then they said because I ordered through the kiosk, I cannot sit in their place. I said nowhere on the kiosk showed that information so I didn't know and kindly ask if it's possible for me to get a seat. The man said angrily that they had limited chairs so if I sit, they will lose chairs...? What does it even mean? Aren't their chairs for the customers? Terrible experience. read more

Waiting at Delta airlines in JFK in terminal 4, between gates A9-A21 we found this cute restaurant/bar. The food, customer service & atmosphere was chill.. If you have plenty of time for a sit down meal, I highly recommend this spot. Both the sandwich/salad combo and the flatbread were outstanding. The flatbread was something else. It had this chili honey glaze drizzled on top that just made the flatbread pop. We loved it. read more

Stopped by this pizza bar at the airport on my way out and honestly loved it! I tried their Coney Merman IPA and it was so good, super refreshing for an airport drink. I also got the hot honey pepperoni pizza and it was delicious. The toppings and flavors were perfect, and the flatbread style made it even better. I sat at the bar and the bartender was really nice. There was plenty of space and charging spots, which is always a win when you're traveling. I even met a sweet lady who let me borrow her charger. Her husband retired from my job, small world! They also had some unique drink options, like the Shadow Hunter (with Woodford Reserve bourbon) and a Spicy Cider with Wheatley Vodka. Really cool spot to grab a drink and good food before a flight. read more

Don't waste your time or money coming here for breakfast. Service was not great and the food leaves a lot to be desired. $30 for a dumpy breakfast sandwich isn't my idea of good value. You're better off going to shake shack or McDonalds. You expect an airport bar to be expensive but this was just a waste of time. read more

Near Gate A17 where we boarded Delta flight back to DC after a 8-day trip to diff parts of Italy, by train and or by rental car. Service is great! Good caesar salad & Rueben sandwich, and friendly vibe bar seating. Old fashioned drink, hubby told me, was heavy on booze... read more

This is for the JFK location by gate A10 for Delta. Bad Service, the waitress and the cashier would not interrupt their conversation to help a line 3 deep on 090524 at 10:32 am. I assume they wanted us to use the kiosk instead. I had a connecting flight so I wanted to know what's quick to order. One guy took the kiosk, the lady in blue got the cashier bought a soda took her order and promptly left Before the lady can finish paying. She was stuck because the machine would not let her Tip. She waited for the cashier to come back just so she can Tip her for the soda bottle! When I finally got my Reuben for $24 plus my $1 tip. I had ask rhetorically - Where's the beef?(see pic). This Reuben does not represent New York well read more

Update: Full Refund Issued I had perhaps the worst restaurant experience I've ever had here in March 2026. I sat down and ordered a lobster roll (one of several menu items) from the QR code menu. I was automatically charged (even before closing my tab) around $40 only to be informed by a server 20 minutes later that lobster rolls were out of stock (nothing said this on the menu or prevented me from ordering or being charged). I asked the server if she could remove it from the check and she said she couldn't do so without manager approval (no manager was present). I ended up ordering something else and waited 40 minutes more for a manager to rectify the situation. An hour later and no manager ever showed up. I told the server I needed to head to my gate because my plane was boarding. She took a photo of my phone displaying my ticket and assured me that a manager would take care of it. I kept my check open so I wouldn't be closing out a tab with food that I never received (I did receive the pizza that I ordered). Imagine my disappointment getting off my flight and seeing that I had been charged not only for the $40 lobster roll that I never received, but, adding insult to injury, I was slapped with a 20% tip (on top of service fee) for food that I NEVER even received. And of course no comp on the food that I did receive. Could it get worse? It turns out there is no contact information (phone, email, etc) for this establishment and no immediate way for me to rectify the situation. I called JFK after the weekend and was told to email JFK operations and that it would be handled. It's been nearly 24 hours and I have yet to hear back from anyone. Nearly a week has passed and I am still left with a $70 bill for food I didn't get and was forced to tip on. Never eat here and never trust your server's assurances. read more

Food selection is limited and quality 4anges from ok to terrible. Because they are the only restaurant in that wing of the airport it's like they are barely trying. read more

Fraudsters!!! Avoid at all costs. I stopped on my way to my next flight and bought an UNBELIEVABLY bad (and pitiful) chicken Caesar salad. They charged me $25.79 for a salad and a water. Whatever. I was a captive audience and had no choice The FRAUD comes in where they also charged my card $60.56! I was there for 2 min getting my salad. I spent no other money and did not swipe my card. I disputed with Amex. These fraudsters denied my claim, so I had to dispute it again. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!! read more

Do yourself a favor and never NEVER EVER walk in this restaurant. I frequently fly delta and was utilizing the terminal bar , the women tried to charge me three times the amount for one drink and even when I go the manager involved she caused such a scene customers did not even stay or come in the restaurant at one point a gentlemen next to me even offered to pay the $45 for my one drink because he felt so bad for me. Maria and Vale should be fired and should not even have jobs in customer service period. I believe in karma so I know they will get what they deserve but save yourself from the horror I experienced and your money read more

Great service and good Very nice counter. Had a turkey club sandwich. Would go back again

Waited at the register over 10 minutes while several employees came up to the register and took money out, one said hello, one just was standing at the bar looking at me, and no one offered to ring me out or take an order or anything. I just wanted an apple juice and had it sitting in front of me but they didn't want to sell anything so after 10 minutes and with a line forming behind me, I left the juice there and walked away. They did take an order for an employee though in that time so they were open. read more

I went there on May 23,2025 about 8 am. It took over 30 minutes to get one sandwich out of two that I ordered and paid for. At that point I had to go flight was boarding. The food itself was decent,prices high, & service terrible. I couldn't recommend this place to anyone. Stay away. Its around gate A10 but if you walk further there are more options. read more

We were there today and it was fine. We had two sandwiches: the chicken caprese and the sausage. Both were tasty. Service was pleasant and timely. Yes, it's overpriced but it's at a major airport in NY, so no surprise there. My least favorite aspect was the atmosphere. It was rather warm, the music was loud and the lighting shined right in my face. Oh, and there are plugs for charging things. read more

I came here for a quick dinner before my flight. They have sandwiches and flatbreads. They have QR codes at the table that you scan and order from and pay from your phone. I ordered an adult grilled cheese and one of their seasonal cocktails on their menu. I got my sandwich and the waitress asked me if I ordered a drink, and I told her the cocktail I ordered. She rudely told that they don't even have the ingredients for that and that cocktail shouldn't even be on their menu. Their cocktails are extremely overpriced for what they are. She didn't offer me a refund and said I needed to pick a different drink. She was the only person working the bar so I didn't want to argue. So I ordered a peach Bellini that was on their other cocktail menu. I waited over 30 minutes for her to make it and had to politely ask her about it three times. Once I finally received it, the drink was mostly orange juice. I'm giving this place two stars because the sandwich was good, but other than that, the service was bad and overpriced. I do not recommend. read more

Amazing prosciutto flatbread At first I thought it was a little pricy but figured "I'm in the airport" , turned out to be a large serving, I couldn't even finish. Mia was my server and she was outstanding, polite, professional, fast and friendly. If this place were in my neighborhood, I'd be a regular read more

Employee "Man" was extremely rude. I tried ordering food from the kiosk twice, but I kept getting an error message. When I asked Man if I could order through him since the kiosk was not working, he just pointed to the kiosk and walked away. I waited for him to return, but instead, he served a seated guest right next to where I was standing and continued to ignore me. I said, "So you're just going to ignore me?" He looked at me and walked away again. read more

Simply put, for a place to eat at JFK (around the A gates), this place put out a good flatbread. Was it pricy, yes but you do know where you are. However the counter service was horrible! Sitting at the bar, I had to ask for a drink (and because I did I went with water vs a cocktail). The previous guest's leftovers remained on the counter for a very long time however I needed a seat. Not once did the bartender wipe a spot and even though they encourage online ordering, she spent her time ringing walk up orders than serving. She sat my food down and I had to call her back for some napkins. No water refill, no thank you, not one word. She's lucky they encourage online ordering because they auto fill a tip. Now you can opt out but I suspect those in the kitchen get dinged too. This place could be a great time-killer while waiting for a flight but there is no service to go along with it. I'd recommend grabbing a bag of snacks and drink right next door, saving your money and just go sit and wait for your flight. For added insight (because I was at the bar) I overheard other guests having to ask for help/service and two guests cancel their order because of the delay is getting served. Sorry, this place misses the mark. I will take my layover time elsewhere. read more

I arrived at JFK airport with a couple of hours until my plane departs from airport. I found a small eatery next to my gate which offered sandwiches and salads. I looked over the menu and came across an Adult version Grilled Cheese, the ingredients were mushrooms, ham , bacon and cheese ... I chose the sandwich with a request to 86 the ham and just add bacon . The sandwich was accompanied with a side of potato chips . This sandwich was delicious and hit the spot . I washed it down with a peach ice tea. read more

The prosciutto flatbread is very good and the bartender (I think his name was Man?) gave impeccable and friendly service. Thank you for making the most of my delay read more

it took 15 minutes to get a sandwich made, wasn't bad but not with the $23 that they charge. their kiosk was not printing receipts and they did not inform anyone in advance and on asking for a receipt I was told to go to my bank records for a footprint (like really lady) on asking for a manager I was kept for more than 20min it's and the said manager didn't show up! read more

Nothing like a $22 hot glass of Prosecco before your flight. That I had to wait 10 minutes for. Better off buying a cocktail on the plane.

They did a good job. We had a short layover on the way to Maine and this spot fit the bill for lunch. Our waitress/bartender worked hard and we appreciate that. The food was perfect bar fare. Do not let the other ratings dissuade you. There were plenty of people lunching with us and nobody was complaining. read more

We were charged $16 fort a 16 0z beer, then a $5.49 tip was added without asking our permission.

We were connecting through JFK and stopped to have dinner before our flight and had excellent food and great service from Xavier! We made a mistake in our order and he gladly helped correct the order. We would definitely come back when connecting here again. read more

I usually don't write reviews, but this experience warranted one. Food quality was HORRIBLE and basic drinks/ cocktails were wayyyy overpriced. Staff was good, but otherwise, not recommended. Go somewhere else. read more

Overpriced as expected, but after I ordered i stood waiting for my beer. Two bartenders, no action. Finally i asked. She said if I preferred from the kiosk i had to take it to go. Drink a beer in the gate waiting area? Okay. I didn't get arrested, but what s crappy deal. read more

Expensive but savory. Sometimes they pour mimosas weak, but wifey said hers was stronger.

We ordered at the kiosk (nowhere did it say you could only order "to go" at the kiosk) and were told we had to vacate our seats because they were only for customers that ordered from their seats. BTW my husband and I are elderly and really needed to sit down. I ordered a pizza flatbread and my husband had a turkey club. After 10 minutes or so, I was told there were no flatbreads and I would have to order something different. But right after that my pizza was ready and they gave it to me. It wasn't the type of pizza I ordered but I took it. They still hadn't given my husband his sandwich and said he hadn't ordered one - fortunately I had the receipt. After another 10 to 15 min, we asked for it again and they still hadn't started it. Finally it was put up on the warming shelf, but there was no one out front to hand it to us. I stopped an employee who was leaving and they got someone to come out and give it to us. So in addition to bad service and my wrong order, my food was cold before my husband got his. I would never ever recommend this restaurant to anyone!! I would give it a "0" rating if possible. read more

Wildly overpriced, small food selection, incredibly slow. You eat here because you're locked down here and have no other options. read more

Service is horrible. I waited at least 15 minutes and no one asked me for my order. Not one person in front of me. I flagged an Asian guy and asked if I can order. He was rude from beginning to end. As soon as I ordered he said no more I said wow I waited for awhile what else is good here. He mocked me when I said wow I waited awhile and what I wanted is not here. Then I ordered something else. Went to take a seat and he said I couldn't sit down the order wad to go. I said wait you didn't even ask me if it wad to stay or go. I am going to sit down and eat my good. He told me I couldn't stay when there wad plenty of empty seats. I immediately told him to give me my money back. In the middle of this he is talking down on the black bartender. More people behind me walked away. Worse service ever!​ read more

BE CAREFUL. Use cash if you can. I used my credit card. The total was $19.41. When I got my statement I was charged $22.62. The difference.....they added $3.21 TIP to my charge without my approval. This was a walk up bar, I picked up my sandwich and water and paid. There was nothing to warrant a tip of any kind. I will take this up with my credit card company. I tried to find a phone number for this mob but of course can't find one. What a SCAM!!!!! So don't use your card or they will charge whatever they feel like. read more

I would give this place no stars if I could. There is one person behind the counter who is no rush whatsoever. I was buying overcoutrer sandwich and water. I waited at least 10 minutes for that young woman to come over. She did not finish my sale, went to serve a drink to someone else. I waited another 10 minutes for receipt and napkins. For this pleasure they charged me $20.00. My friend was behind me in the line. Guess what, another 10 minutes. Someone at that restaurant should figure out how service should work. read more

Waitress was very rude...I ordered a sandwich and drink from the kiosk ($17 total) and she has to "ask her manager" if I can sit at one of their tables to eat. The "Manager" says "No baby, I'm sorry, the tables are only for dine-in patrons." Seriously?! read more

All I wanted was a coffee. I ordered and paid at the self service order kiosk. The cashier then told me they don't have coffee or any of the breakfast items. She then could not get the refund processed to refund my credit card. She told me I should have asked if they had coffee before ordering. Seriously ?? Put a sign on the kiosk or update your menu to reflect what you actually have. Finally a supervisor refunded me in cash. It was 15 minutes of wasted time and I still had to go find a coffee. I've been traveling all night .... read more

Slow service & bad food for a premium price. For a $30 grab & go breakfast 25 minutes if a long wait.

Bloody Mary was insanely spicy, undrinkable. Bartender/waitress didn't offer to make another. I originally asked her to make it mild. Her attentiveness was minimal to all the guests and one slow speed. Terrible service and attitude. read more

The service at this location is horrible. The waitress is the only one available to service patrons and was short, rude, and mean to everyone the entire time. She seemed frustrated and irritated. She needs more help so she can be more polite. Ppl don't deserve to be talked to this way! She told one man "you are listening to me! Order with me not on the app. I'm standing right here.", then proceeded to walk away. Then when ppl would order on the app she still had to ask them what they ordered. I waited for 20 min just for dressing! read more
