It hurts my soul to only rate Chelsea's Kitchen with 3 stars, as I love the restaurant in our neighborhood and the food is always great, but unfortunately this experience was not good. The staff and overall service was horrible. The hostess was pre-occupied and acted bothered to seat us, and both of our servers (drink order and food order) were both very disengaged and flat out rude. It was almost as if they were inconvenienced to wait on us. No follow up during our sit down and not even a smile or "thank you" for stopping in. One can only hope that everybody was having a horrible morning and that this isn't the norm, because it was sad. Chelsea would have been very disappointed. Maybe next time. :/ read more

Absolutely the best spot for a delicious breakfast. The bartender is attentive and very kind. Food always on point. Mimosas are fabulous as well read more

Great drinks. Del Mar Salad is heavenly, it has a lot of lemon squeezed on it and one does not need to use dressing provided. Additionally, the French fries are some of the best. read more

The assemble-yourself short rib tacos weren't bad. A bit over cooked. The kale slaw that accompanied the tacos would've been better with just little citrus to cut the tacos. Otherwise, not bad. The margarita was fantastic! Perfect compliment to the short rib! The service was great. No complaints. Food 3 Service 4 read more

Wow- was not expecting to find such a great place to eat while waiting out my 4 hour connection! The food was fresh and exceeded my expectations. Definitely worth the additional trip through security. Fantastic roasted tomato soup. read more

Chelsea's Kitchen - Roasted tomato soup with the Brussels sprout salad. Yummy ! - American Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

This is our go to restaurant at the airport. Every single restaurant past the security checkpoints is always packed. The only place that can handle all the chaos is LGO. But instead of hiking to those gates, we just sit down to a nice dinner at Chelsea's Kitchen. It is wonderful to have the many Phoenix based restaurants in Terminal 4. It makes me feel like even if you just come through the airport you can see something that truly represents Phoenix while you're there. Even when there is a wait at this restaurant the service is always fantastic. If they mess up your order they do everything they can to make it right (it gets busy, and I become extra understanding, esp if they try to rectify). We've done breakfast, lunch and dinner, all yummy and a great start to our trips. I'm generally not a fan of airport food, but I always look forward to dining at Chelsea's Kitchen if we're headed to the airport. :) read more

I ate a shrimp cocktail - perfect, but expensive at $15 - but its the airport.... Entree was the rib eye tacos, 4.5/5 ( only because the tortilla, while good, was not perfect. $23 bucks - ok for airport - big plate with guacamole and salad...) Service good. Make sure you have at least 30 minutes before crossing security. Place is beautiful, with an open kitchen and a Grand bar, without being over the top! What a pleasure it is to be able to eat this delicious in an airport. MR. FOX YOU ROCK! Btw, the kale salad that accompanies the entree was PERFECT 6/5, better than True Foods' Kale which can be a bit too garlicky! read more

We had the brussels sprout salad and the kale salad. Also had the prickly pear margarita. Everything was yummy! Service was good as well. The only complaint I have is that the chicken was dry despite being dark meat. You'd have to really overlook the chicken to make dark meat dry. read more

Decide to this place, ordinarily I would have gone to the chicken and waffles place across the hall, but my Doctor says I have to eat healthier and the other place serves no alcohol. The datk meat chicken caesar was awesome! read more

Exceptional comfortable welcoming restaurant at the airport!!! Fabulous fresh ingredients, generous portions , pleasant ambiance! Wonderful attentive waitstaff, especially Shane and a lovely hostess named Alyssa! I had the Ahi tuna taco plate with this delicious kale side salad! My husband had the French Dip sandwich! And then we shared the key lime pie for dessert! Amazing food! Will stop here again soon! read more

Stopped in with the family before I flew up to Vegas and was really disappointed. I stopped in because this is one of those places I really wanted to check out but I wish I'd stuck with the actual restaurant. It really doesn't translate well to airport. Food was so so at the very best. Service was slow and seemed inconvenienced. read more

As an Arizona native I'm lucky to get to make the trek to camelback and 40th street to get my favorite Del Mar salad and white sangria on a whim but today headed out for a flight and no lunch, gave me the opportunity to grab these two gems at terminal 4. The quality and service is always top notch and everything was yummy as usual!! If you find your self in terminal 4 and hungry stop in you won't regret it!! read more

My wife and I both travel a lot and we happened to be passing at the airport and thought we'd stop and have a nice lunch for the hour that we would see each other. Thought is the key word here. We both ordered the soup and caesar salad with chicken. Pretty hard to screw up right? Wrong again. Both soups were cold, not supposed to be, and the salad with chicken was just plain bad. The salad had a very light amount of dressing and the chicken was dry. Also, we waited at least 20 minutes for our soup and salads, long enough to drink our can of diet coke, yes can, that they charge over $2 for. Here's the kicker, when we told our waitress she said that the bowl has a lot of surface area and it cools the soup down and the other was never heated to the proper temp. What the heck? Anyway, I will not be returning there again for very overpriced bad food. I'ld rather get food from one of the kiosks past security. read more

I truly avoid Five-Star reviews. Perhaps for French Laundry. But I think five stars are appropriate given that I am sitting in an airport restaurant. Chelsea's Kitchen is pre-security so if you are flying through Sky Harbor you have to make an effort to get here. If you have the time this is worth enduring TSA (ugh) a second time. And if you are flying in for business, eat dinner here before you go to your hotel. I had the short rib tacos. Very good. Also the Kale salad. Never would have thought I would say I liked Kale salad! This is definitely food worth an extra trip through security. read more

Food was nice especially for an airport. Service was good and food made to order. Eggs were bland with. I flavoring and potatoes a bit over cooked, but quality food nonetheless. Waiter was very attentive to drinks. Class atmosphere and great place to visit in the airport. read more

Atmosphere is king here, but so is the service and the food. The menu has variety and the portions are perfect! A seat on the patio during cooler weather is fabulous too! read more

Got to the airport a bit early, decided to find something to eat. This place looked like most other airport restaurants. Menu was varied enough that we found something to order that is keto-friendly. I wasn't too hungry so just ordered deviled eggs. My friend ordered a shrimp and crab salad. We weren't expecting much, but were very pleasantly surprised! The food was GOOD. Good even for non-airport standards. And it was plentiful for the price. Service was great, no problems at all. In short, I will always eat here when flying through or staying in Phoenix, and hope they open a place in San Diego! read more

need the cornbread back on the menu!!! it is amazing!!! Great place with great food :)

Beautiful spot with great outdoor or indoor seating. Today they were serving delicious fresh baked cookies at the entrance. We had a great meal with beef tacos, tuna tartare guacamole and smoke chicken. read more

I can't believe I'm giving 4 stars to an airport restaurant. Here's why: This is only one experience and we were hungry due to the flight delay. There was no seating in the restaurant so we sat at the bar and had great service from the bar tenders. We asked about a couple of the menu items and figured two of us were planning to get the same thing so we asked about it and the server indicated the sandwich was 'huge' so we ordered it and asked to split it. They were very accommodating. The food had good flavor and was well-prepared. Good experience for eating in an airport. Thanks. read more

I had a French Dip that was exceptionally good. The service was OK, not great or even all that good, but ok. My only real complaint is that the server couldn't talk about any of the beers on the menu. Other than that, she was attentive and otherwise helpful. *** read more

While waiting to catch our flight home, hubby & I stopped in to have a quick breakfast. Overall food was good. I had an egg white omelet with veggies ... pretty fresh tasting, as well as fruit to accompany! Hubby had the muesli and he was expecting the portion to be smaller, so it was very filling for him ... no biggie really. Service was a little slow given that it was early and no one was really there, so they lost a star for that. Nonetheless, pretty good! read more

Read about the key lime pie here and since my traveling counterpart was having a birthday next week we stopped here for lunch. We split the French dip sandwich, and it was amazing. Perfectly prepared and the French roll wasn't hard or too soft- and the meat was packed with flavor and tender. We ordered the key lime pie and my man who is a Keylime professional- said it was the best key lime pie he had ever had! My only complaint is the prices are a little steep- but to be fair you can taste the quality, but even the soft drinks were a bit expensive in my opinion. Great stop- We highly recommend it- and would love to return! read more

Met up here with a friend for dinner who came in for a meeting. Seeing as how it's in the airport, I was skeptical. We had the kale/quinoa salad, deviled eggs and chips and guacamole. Kale salad was pretty good size. My friend brought up a good point- you want to share this or at least take the rest to eat later. It's a lot of roughage for one person. Good and light dressing. The flavors went well - kale, quinoa, sunflower seeds, red bell pepper, lemon rind zest, Parmesan cheese, and grapes. Refreshing. Eggs were yummy but is anything not when you put bacon on it? Good heaping amount of mixture. Not thee best I've ever had but pretty darn tasty. Chips and guacamole are house made. Nothing mind blowing but still good. Salsa had a kick and roasted flavor so that is good. Not weak. Overall, pretty good for airport food considering I dont think highly of airport food. This did not let me down. I heard they make handmade tortillas so I gotta try their other location. read more

What a delightful experience. Their menu has nothing but fresh food options. Their pairing of food is nothing but outstanding. I had their kale and quinoa salad with salmon. Absolutely wonderful! I'm officially in love with this place and will now come early to the airport in order to dine here. read more

Chelsea's Kitchen - Kale and quinoa salad. Soooo good! - American Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I had five hours to wait before my flight so my coworkers and I decided to have a couple drinks and some food at the bar. This place had great atmosphere for being in an airport! The bar was pretty, the restaurant was pretty. I liked it. The service and the food did not live up to the hype though. There were three bartenders working the bar and getting something to drink and eat was like pulling teeth. A coworker order the shrimp ceviche, it was less then impressive. It tasted like they mixed a can of salsa with shrimp bits... I had a chicken sandwich with some garlic mashed potatoes it was actually pretty good. The chicken had an spiciness that I've never had before not sure what ingredient or combination of ingredients it was, but it will be something I compare all other fried chicken sandwiches too. The best part about the experience was they had Delirium Tremens on TAP! I know odd right? Pretty awesome... read more

What a find in the Phoenix airport! I was introduced to LGO earlier in the week and had a craving for a couple of the things I'd missed. I was served promptly by a waitress with a great attitude (unexpected for an airport restaurant). I had the Brussels sprout salad that was unbelievably good! The rich toasty flavor of the Brussels sprouts was enhanced by large shavings of Parmesan cheese, and a perfect crunch of blanched almonds. Whatever vinaigrette they use is light enough to let the other tastes star. So good! Next time, I'm going for the ceviche and hope it can compare. *Forgot to note that they have a small refrigerated area where you can pick up a few things (like salads) to eat on the go, or after security. Totally worth the stop! read more

Love it here! Great food. Great service what more could you ask for? Not a bad thing on the menu, seriously read more

Great meal as usual, certainly the best restaurant in Sky Harbor. The menu is great and the service is always good. I love the salmon and the white wine. The prime rib is also magnificent. read more

Since I know this airport location comes with the reputation of the mothership, I had high expectations when I found myself with an hour to kill at the Airport. It's a very nice place with great atmosphere and a great place to get out of the rush and have a nice meal. The food is good and very good, the service is efficient with touches of friendliness. When a restaurant has chicken tortilla soup on the menu I usually order it. For some reason that's a trigger for me on how well the rest of the meal will turn out. The version was good and i might order again. Chicken in dark meat and shredded with fresh chunks of avocado My all time favorites if you care come from Wolfgang Puck and Max & Erma's. To me it's as much about the garnish as it is about the soup and when you don't give me a lime I am disappointed Our Cheviche was very fresh and the prime rib taco where excellent. Overall a good meal and I will have to try the original next time I fly through read more

I had a great dining experience here. Wonderful food. Prices were a little high since it is in the airport but I managed to get the soup & salad and deviled eggs for $20. So that's not bad for a sit down dinner in the airport. Comfortable atmosphere and the Sunday night NFL game was on the TVs in the bar area. The servers are very nice and personable. Food was very tasty. If this place was near home I would come here often. :) read more

Best spot at sky harbor for sure. You have to leave the secured part of the terminal to check it out but it is very good. If you have some time to kill on a layover I highly recommend. read more

Tomato basil soup and the short rib tacos were all absolutely delicious. Definite place to come if you have time. Little pricey.

Everything we had was excellent! Bacon deviled eggs, French dip, short rib tacos, and great kale salad with a sprinkling of Parmesan Manchego grapes sunflower seeds, yum! Perfect portions of salt, sweet, juice, and crisp - very well prepared! And the chocolate chip salted cookies as we walked out topped it off! Must try. read more

2 stars for the service/time waiting, 4.5 stars for the food. Located in PHX airport, my small group of 4 people were looking for a bite to eat at 10:20 am before our flight in 1.5 hours. The hostess was pretty disorganized due to the breakfast/lunch switchover, and it took several minutes to get seated, even though the place wasn't too busy. Once we were seated, the waitress went through her routine, finally getting to offer the soup of the day. When asked what it was, she didn't know, and had to go check for 6 minutes before coming back with "black bean". We put our orders in, and waited. And waited. 35 minutes later, we were told that it shouldn't be too long, our orders did not take long to cook, they would be right out. Normally, I wouldn't mind a wait, even a 35 minute one, if someone came up and offered an explanation or reassurance that we were being looked after. Unfortunately they did not take the initiative to keep us informed, we had to reach out to them. Mind you, this is in an airport, where a majority of patrons probably have time-sensitive needs. This caused a bit of concern with us, as we had been waiting a while and our food had not appeared yet. Finally, our food arrived. Chicken Nachitos, Black Bean Soup, and the Short Rib Tacos. The Nachitos had generous amounts of toppings, from guacamole to jalapenos to just the right ratio of chip:cheese. Great! I had the short rib tacos, which were amazing, although the meat was a tad dry. Healthy amount of meat, plenty of tortillas, pico de gallo, and guacamole. Also came with a side of kale salad. Not only was the quality some of the best I've had for airport food, it was one of the best short rib tacos I've ever had, anywhere. Sentiment echoed by the other people in our group. We requested our check as soon as they brought the food and were able to make it out in time to be the last to board the plane, but without having to run. If you have plenty of time to kill, come hungry. If you are even semi-concerned about getting through security in a timely manner, you have a tough decision to make. read more
