Stopped by Shake Shack at JFK Airport before my flight back to AUS. Funny story, I used to wait…read moreover 3 hours to get a Shake Shack burger at Madison Square Park back when there were only 2 Shake Shack locations. Now you can conveniently order a burger in no time from a location in the airport. You place your food order from a touch screen kiosk. You can also watch your order being prepared by employees in the kitchen. This location has the typical Shake Shack vibe and flair. I ordered the single-patty ShackBurger, a made-to-order quarter pound patty of 100% Angus beef with American cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion and ShackSauce on a toasted potato bun. The burger really hit the spot before a flight. The burger was juicy, well-seasoned, and made fresh, with the perfect balance of sauce, cheese, and bun. Simple, classic, and satisfying. For an airport location, the quality held up surprisingly well. Service was a bit slow but everything came out hot and neatly put together. Prices are a bit higher at the airport, but the consistency and flavor made it worth it. Solid choice if you're craving a reliable burger at JFK and want something familiar and filling before takeoff.

I didn't have time to make a sandwich, and thought that GF items would be limited in the airport…read more My absolute favorite fries are crinkle fries! Idk exactly why. Perhaps they're evocative of my childhood and youth, when every diner and burger joint served them. So I headed to Shake Shack for some lovely delicious fries. Ordering is a pain. You use a kiosk. No live people. I had gotten a bottle of water. The screen said to "scan" any other items. There is no barcode and no scanner. After saying three or four times that I couldn't scan the water, someone came over. You have to page through the menu. Ugh. Paid, typed in my name, and waited. And waited. Finally, my name was called, and I got my fries and some napkins. I sat I a lounge chair right across from Shake Shack, and.....the fries were cold. Terrible, awful, crushing disappointment. I so rarely eat fries these days. I was anticipating hot, golden, lovely crispy fries. I got lukewarm semi-limp mostly underdone fries. A sad, sad feeling. There's no seating at Shake Shack, but you can sit at a gate or take your food with you. Employees were working very hard, so it's strange that my fries were cold. I picked them up right away when my name was called. I probably won't come back, if I am in this terminal another time.

While waiting for my recent flight at JFK I saw they have a Jacob's Pickles here. It's in JetBlue…read moreTerminal 5 at JFK. Good spot to have a tasty breakfast biscuit sandwich, fried chicken and biscuits, or a buttermilk fried chicken sandwich. Full bar to sit at and have a beer or cocktail, some counter seating along the open window area, and tables on the outside to eat and people watch while waiting for your flight. There are also a few order and pay kiosks by the entrance. It's quality eating and a nice step up from the normal airport food offerings, but also expect to pay airport prices.

The employees are great at moving everyone through and getting people seated. Food came pretty quick. Mac and cheese was more just Mac smothered in some melted cheese. The biscuit chicken sandwich with the creamy bbq sauce was really tasty, but biscuits crumble apart so hard to eat. Also added bacon, was supposed to be 3 strips but was just some crumbles - pass on that! Honestly, this was a four stars for airport food, three for any type.

Dunkin is right in the food court next to a few other food options like H&H Bagels and Custom Burger. The line for Dunkin' was going outside the food court area! It was so long! I decided since I had a lot of time prior to boarding for my flight back home, to wait it out. It certainly was a wait. I ended up waiting about 45 minutes before I could place my order at the register. I ended up getting the following Munchkins - Glazed Donuts Plain Bagel with Cream Cheese Medium Hot Chocolate. By the time I picked up my order and went to my gate, I had about 20 minutes prior to my flight boarding! The hot chocolate was delicious! It was still warm for my flight out to Las Vegas! The bagel was perfectly toasted and there was a decent amount of cream cheese on the bagels. The glazed donuts were just okay. My recommendation would be if it's a early morning flight, and if there is a long line, if you have some extra time, you could order from here, but if your flight is less than 30 minutes in the morning, I'd recommend choosing another option.
