Still, despite that, I can't really say that it is one of the greatest pubs that I've visited. Sure, the service was okay, but the beers were fairly standard, not that I actually know what standard beers happens to be in an English Pub since every pub that I've visited seems to have different options. Then again, I'd probably describe the selection as boring, so yeah, there is that.

The food is great, the servers are funny, upbeat, and witty. And their customers leave satisfied and happy. It seemed to me they truly understand that traveling is stressful, and for that the staff tries to provide customers with as relaxing an ambiance as you can have in the middle of an airport terminal. Next time I stop in London, I'll make sure to visit them again!

Crowded, noisy Terminal 5 is short on dining options, particularly during the morning hours…read more Giraffe was open and close to our gate when we got through security just past 7:00. The menu covers off British and "international" staples: fry ups, pancakes, smoothies, and healthier options like granola and avocado toast. Pacing myself for the day, I nabbed a double espresso and an avocado smash: brown bread topped with mashed avocado + pico de gallo + micro greens + pomegranate seeds, with two poached eggs on the side. It was satisfying but overpriced, even by airport standards.

When, after 20 or so minutes I got up to find out if we were ever going to be served, we got the obligatory excuse but someone quickly came and took our order. The food and drinks came. I had ordered chicken strips and the tomato soup. The strips were hot and tasty. The tomato soup left a lot to be desired. It was very watery with no tomato chunks or any herbs that you could see or taste. The people sitting across from us didn't get what they ordered. For the price, I'd say if you don't have to be there, find somewhere else.

If you are an expat, this will be your new comfort food craving after your first visit. Our group ordered three different sandwiches and shared many brunch dishes and they were all amazing. They serve their buttermilk pancakes topped with bacon and a generous helping of syrup on the side. The eggs benny came with fries and was delish as well. All of their amazing sandwiches come with an individual pickle that is made in-house. We shared a Chicken Cobb (Corn fed chicken, smoked bacon, avocado, blue cheese, boiled egg, tomato, red onion, lettuce & mayo on 3 slices of toasted white), The Toronto (Slow roasted topside beef, melted English cheddar, leaf lettuce, tomato, pickled hot peppers, red onion, & horseradish mayo on toasted sourdough), and The Medley (Roasted turkey breast, smoked ham, bacon, melted cheddar & emmental, lettuce, tomato, red onion, pickled hot peppers & basil mayo on toasted sourdough). This place is locally owned and the vibe is very laid back. We went around 12:30 on a Saturday and this place was packed. They take reservations so you might want to make some (we did). Overall, I will definitely come back.

Like most American ex-pats, I'm amazed at how the country that invented the sandwich can't make a…read moreproper sandwich. There are few things in the world less appetizing to me than two pieces of pre-packaged soggy bread with one slice of ham drowning in a gallon of mayo that's been sitting on the Pret a Manger shelf all day. In America you only see stuff like that at gas stations, and even there they hold the mayo. In England, they put so much mayo on those sandwiches that it actually gets listed as an ingredient. So whereas you'd have a chicken sandwich with mayo in America, in England it becomes a chicken mayo sandwich. That's just wrong. And nasty. Enter Pickle & Rye. If this place were in Soho or South Kensington then there'd be lines out the door. True Mortlake is in London's upscale southwest and thus home to several affluent American ex-pats, but I feel like that this gem of a sandwich place is missing out on a golden opportunity by being stuck out in the middle of nowhere. It was a trek to get to even from Fulham, and I've got plenty of friends who think that Fulham is enough of a trek already. Or at least that's their excuse for never coming to visit us. This place would merely have to not completely suck to be one of the best sandwich places in London, but it's really taken the art of the sandwich to another level. The owner / head sandwich dude is a culinary school graduate who roasts all their meats, cures his own corned beef (known around these parts as salt beef), makes his own dill pickles (which are easily the best that I've ever had in England) and Russian dressing, with the result being the finest reuben this side of the Atlantic. I will gladly return to the middle of nowhere for another one.

The gravy is perfect with a nice consistency that melts over the roast and chicken. The broccoli was tender and well seasoned. The cod fish cakes is an amazing combination of fish and potatoes in golden breading. Honestly I can rave about the food all day. The customer service was top tier. I was apart of a large party and the restaurant staff were accommodating and had all dishes out in a timely manner. It's a quaint local pub with outdoor seating available. True hidden gem for tourists to find and truly a treasure that locals hold dear.

However, it was a charming place, and had a pretty decent sized beer garden as well, which seems to be the case for many of these suburban and rural pubs. Oh, and they had some decent beers as well, which was also pretty cool.

It is much like any other airport dining vibe as most are pretty generic. This one does have video running of Gordon Ramsay cooking in his home kitchen. And they have some shelves showcasing Gordon Ramsay cooking books. The food is priced high, but really not outrageous if you compare with most airport dining options. We had a Bloody Mary (spicy and tasty), Pepsi and Gordon Ramsay's fried miso chicken nuggets. They use thigh meat, so the nuggets are quite rich when paired with the breading and sauce. They were quite good and I would order them again, even though the price point is high. The service was spot on, as well.

Unfortunately, I can't sing the same praises for the food. Both times, I found my meals lacking in flavor.

So I hate to say it, but this restaurant ultimately didn't satisfy me.
