I was absolutely exhausted when we landed. I had looked at Yelp to find a good place to eat and I picked Chelsea's Kitchen. I have to say from the initial greeting through the meal the service was five star. I picked a fried chicken sandwich and it did not disappoint. It had a really nice big bun and cole slaw on top and really long pickle slices. It was expensive but I was captive in an airport. I do recommend eating here because their food was delicious and the service excellent. It's worth the money.

Steak side

Located inside terminal 4. If you have time for a meal, Chelsea's kitchen is a solid option. Service was excellent and fast. We tried their kale and quinoa salad with steak. Dressing was delicious and steak tender. The chips with guacamole were perfect and satisfying. Portion was big as well. Highly recommend if you need a good meal at sky harbor airport.

Caesar Salad

Met up with a friend for dinner during his layover. This place is before the security check point. Service was good. Our server took care of us all evening. There is plenty of seating for groups and larger parties. Dining area was clean and tidy. This place was open later than other restaurants. I'm glad we got the Deviled Eggs as an appetizer, they were delicious! My friend said he enjoyed his Howie burger. I wasn't too hungry so I got the soup and salad combo. The soup of the day was Chicken Tortilla. It was tasty, not too salty, and had a decent amount of chicken. My Caesar salad had a little too much dressing.

Rotisserie Chicken double veggies, no mash. Surprisingly excellent!

One of the better airport restaurants I've been too. A nice respite outside of the awful usual airport food options. I had the rotisserie chicken which was as good as any rotisserie at any restaurant I've had. The veggies were fresh and sautéed well with way too much garlic. My wife had the steak tacos which was an ample portion with a fatty stack of corn tortilla's, guac, pico and a fresh kale, quinoa and grape salad. Solid. I would 100% look for Chelsea kitchen again next time we come through Phoenix airport.

Menu

Stopped in for a quick bite before my flight. Got a soda, Caesar salad and added salmon as my protein. The whole thing was over $30! Captive audience, I suppose. Not enough servers, so had to wait to place my order and really never got my water refilled. Patience is a must. Food was decent and servers are friendly enough. This is one of the few places in the airport where you can sit down for a meal before heading thru security.

Branzino and surf and turf tacos!
Eric B.

Our last night in Phoenix was also our anniversary so we wanted good food and atmosphere. We had both at Chelsea's Kitchen. The service was amazing, and the chef even came to our table with dessert! Super nice folks there. The food was worth it also. My wife had the whole Branzino fish, and I took our servers suggestion on mixing giant shrimp with the steak tacos. Those were the best corn tortillas ever. Anyway, highly recommended!

I've been coming to Chelsea's Kitchen at the phoenix airport for 11 years... it's always been the only airport meal that's not just "fair" but delicious. When I landed this evening, I took the SkyTrain to terminal 4 just to eat here before going to my hotel. The ambiance is nice and the staff is exceptional. Perhaps I ordered the wrong thing, but tonight the food wasn't as amazing as I remembered it to be. I had the short rib tacos, and granted I ate my whole plate and felt satisfied, I don't think they merited the description "award winning" like the menu says. Check out the picture- it doesn't really look like short ribs and the flavor was moderate. Sadly, they also don't have their amazing chocolate chip cookies with sea salt anymore. I still think this is the best airport restaurant I've been to, but perhaps not as exceptional as I once believed. I'll try again and see if this was a one off.

Soup
Ashley L.

This place was confidently located from where I needed to be in the airport. I wasn't too hungry so I just got fries on one occasion which were $9 which was pretty crazy and another time I got soup which was over priced as well. Wasn't a fan of the soup but I guess I shouldn't have expected much. The avocado in The soup was good though but there was pretty much no chicken in it which was disappointing. Also got what were advertised as mimosas here with me girls and turns out the were small premixed drinks that were overpriced at $20 a piece. And our server was almost non existent. I'd suggest a different option for anyone thinking about it as a first. If you enjoy lots of people around (it IS an airport), then it's okay. Nice crowd.

Ethan's Vegetarian Taco platter: guacamole + pico de gallo + sauteed vegetables
Craig G.

Chelsea's Kitchen was a pleasant surprise at Sky Harbor. Landing a couple hours too early to check into my Airbnb and looking for a quick bite to eat, I hopped the air train to Terminal 4 (nothing in Terminal 3 outside of security) and found Chelsea's Kitchen. Offering up a pretty simple menu of American and vaguely Southwestern food, it seems to be a popular spot for travellers in the terminal. I sat down and did an order of Ethan's Vegetarian Tacos: three corn tortillas with guacamole, pico de gallo, kale slaw, and sauteed vegetables. The guac and pico were on point, and better than most I've found in my few trips to Phoenix. The vegetable mix was...perplexing: zucchini, red pepper, mushroom, grapes, and quinoa. Somehow, the flavours worked well together. It's about as pricey as any other sit down fare you'll find at Sky Harbor, but it made for a satisfying lunch

Steak tacos

This was a food gem right before TSA security that I can't wait to enjoy again! The restaurant was large with plenty of seating options. I sat at the bar and the bartender was friendly and made sure I was taken care of and my food allergies were completely taken care of by the kitchen. To drink, I had the prickly pear margarita. This was addictively good! It was refreshing and well balanced. For my main meal I had the steak tacos. These were suggested by the bartender. I am allergic to onions and the kitchen and bartender made sure that my food didn't come in contact with onions and modified my dish not to include them without loosing flavor. Even though the steak tacos were cooked beautifully and seasoned just right, my favorite part of the dish was the kale slaw. It was so flavorful, complex, and just so delicious. For dessert I had to try the artisan gelato. I had pistachio which was so flavorful and creamy. I will definitely be going out of my way to eat here again.

The burger with bacon cheese avocado on a sweet Hawaiian bread type sesame bun and fresh cut fries with catchup and ranch.

Service - on a Weds afternoon, service was fast and easy! Friendly staff. No long crazy waits. Reasonable as per any normal restaurant. This is not fast food so there is a normal cooked to order type wait! Food - got the burger with cheese avocado bacon cooked to Chef reco and it was yummy. French fries were fresh cut! Pretty good. Worth the $30 with tax tip etc. Ambience - not too loud if at a table or booth you can hear one another. Bright, basic restaurant. There's no vibe here lol, just a casual semi professional type spot to grab a bite when you have a little extra time to work or for a meeting or some down time. I'd definitely come back next time I'm in this part of the airport and have time.

This review is a reflection of my cumulative visits to a Chelsea's Kitchen over the years. I very much enjoy their airport location and have had various meetings at this location over the years. There food is tasty and service is usually good! I found myself here, a first in quite sometime, last month. I met with an old colleague! We sat outside, as it was packed during lunch time and we hadn't made a reservation so we opted for the patio. It was an unusually chilly, so thankfully they had lots of heaters! We started with the poke, topped with guacamole - it was delicious! Fresh and flavorful. I didn't even need the chips. For our main course, my friend and I both opted for the salad and soup combo. The soup of the day was tortilla and then I ordered their Brussels salad. I've had this salad before and I think they changed up the way they made it. It did not do it for me. It was not flavorful or balanced. The soup also was not great, it tasted more like an enchilada soup then tortilla, which may be similar to some, but just did not do it for me. We ended with a key lime pie, hoping to pair with espresso, but alas no espresso machine. The pie was tangy and sweet, not the best slice ever but still good! I think the server was new, as it wasn't the most timely, but very friendly nonetheless! Side note: They have complimentary salted chocolate chip cookies at the front to enjoy on your way out or in I suppose! Lovely touch and very tasty

It's a fantastic coffee shop designed with simplicity and producivity in mind - hosted in a gorgeous building with exposed brick and ceilings, which give it an industrial feel. My take on the space was it breathes this interesting balance of lingering, connection with others, and productivity. Almost every seat had a corresponding table, so that's a warm invitation to bring your devices in. There was a Ducati (!!!) parked right across from the coffee bar, which I later learned belongs to the owner just sharing his passion with the coffee community. Small detail, but it says something about the place. Definitely not a coffee shop trying to be a copy and paste chain. Menu had a few creative options I wouldn't mind coming back to try. They've also got their own merch line; the cups were also designed well enough that you'd actually want to keep one. There's street art right across from the shop worth a look if you've got a few minutes to spare. If you don't mind a short drive for a great cup and a space that actually feels lived in, this one delivers. PS - Parking can be tricky. It looks like there's ample space to park, but a lot of that is for Galvanize and the offices in the building. Towing trucks come over often, so heads up if you're going to park there. Don't get caught in the wrong spot.

I've only heard great things and it was such a pleasure to make a visit. The interior is ultra modern, and art-centered. On a Wednesday morning, there was one staff member holding it down and a wait/line with about 5-6 people, so the wait was about 15-20 minutes in total-- including ordering and waiting for drinks. There was mainly only paid street parking options, but it wasn't hard to find any right in front of the shop. I got two drinks: Más and Abeja, to try their matcha and coffee, and really thoroughly enjoyed both. The matcha is a little bit on the milkier side, but I did enjoy that it was completely unsweetened, and leaned on the vanilla cold foam for a light sweetness. I think I enjoyed the coffee more personally, as the honey paired super well with the espresso and oat milk. The espresso is very good. I would come back if I was in the area, I just wish the parking situation was a little different!

Not to mention, plenty of parking in the back, easily accessible and near the entrance. I ordered a brown sugar sage latte with oat milk. I forgot to ask for half sweet, but no need for the special order because the flavor was well balanced and not overly sweet! Well crafted flavors, I'd totally get it again. Working here was awesome too. Music was not too loud or distracting. Everyone here spoke at a respectful volume. I'm coming back next time!

Fantastic Atmosphere and Workspace in Midtown, but Mind the Peak Hours…read more My friend and I visited this cafe on a mid-week afternoon looking for a productive spot to get some remote work done, and it proved to be an excellent choice. Logistically, midtown traffic in this area is a well-known hurdle, but the dedicated parking lot located directly behind the building makes arriving by car much easier. Inside, the design and atmosphere are an absolute vibe. The mismatched furniture, abundance of indoor plants, and view of the green canopy outside provide a perfect, refreshing escape from the summer heat. The menu is varied and high-quality. I ordered a matcha latte, which was excellent and refreshing, while my friend opted for a lunch sandwich and a latte. For true coffee enthusiasts, they also sell specialty house-roasted coffee beans retail, including a Guatemalan Antigua and another select house blend. The lounge offers plenty of comfortable seating tailored for focus and productivity. While the pricing is slightly higher than your average coffee shop, the exceptional atmosphere and amenities justify the cost. One quick tip for remote workers: The environment shifts noticeably after 4:00 PM. The space can become quite loud with patrons taking phone calls or conducting 1-on-1 meetings at adjacent tables. If you plan to work through the late afternoon, I highly recommend bringing a pair of noise-canceling headphones to remain undisturbed.
