    I love a diner. I'm originally from the northeast but live in SC now and we just don't have the…read moresame kind of diners that I had before - don't get me wrong, I love a Waffle House but it's not the same. This was a really great spot. My coworker and I were over in North Jersey for work but flew in and out of PHL rather than facing Newark. In order to beat the crazy construction traffic outside of Philly and to have a buffer for whatever TSA nightmare we were going to face, we got back near the airport early... like 4 1/2 hours before our flight kind of early. I wanted breakfast outside of the airport so I found this spot while he was refilling the rental car. I got the French toast with homefries. The french toast was perfect, with just a tiny bit of crisp in spot from the griddle. Same with the homefries. I would have liked a bit more seasoning while they were cooking, but a bit of salt and pepper and I was good to go. My coworker got the big breakfast but subbed out the homefries for corned beef hash. While I'm not a fan of corned beef hash, it looked exactly like how my mom and grandfather like it, with a little bit of crisp to it. The pancake was huge and he said his over medium eggs were cooked exactly like he hoped they would be. Now I just need to plan out my flights so I can come get breakfast here again and try one of the sandwiches, or omelettes, or maybe get French toast again...

    Solid diner - huge menu, something for everyone…read more Friendly service, good food, plenty of parking and seating.

    I was pleasantly surprised by the breakfast buffet at the landing. I was hesitant to go down to the…read morelanding due to their rating, but with no other breakfast options on site I caved. I'm not saying that I would come here if I wasn't staying on site, but for someone who spends 100 nights or more a year in hotels, I've seen some pretty bad breakfasts... I think I was most surprised by the potatoes that were actually crispy and not soggy like the norm. Eggs, bacon, sausage, variety of breads and muffins and a few juice options filled the void. Service wasn't great, but the hostess did offer me a carafe of coffee. So again, the need was met. If you're staying at the doubletree and want a quiet place to be left alone to eat a quick breakfast before catching a flight or hitting the road, the Landing is a decent option!

    Not good. It didn't appear busy but over heard the staff mention they were very busy to numerous…read moreguests. About 8 at bar and less than half the restaurant filled. Overwhelming smell of pot at entrance and could smell throughout restaurant. It's a "seat yourself place" which works when the staff has clean tables for patrons to sit. Not the case here. After asking 3 times we cleaned a table so we could sit. Took the waiter 15 mins to make initial contact. He was pleasant once he did, but the wait was unnecessarily long. Ordered 2 glasses of wine which we grabbed at bar bc they never arrived. Chicken Caesar Salad and burger was flavorful. Ordered soup too but never received it. When asked, the waiter said they were out and forgot to tell us. So, not great service and ok food. It's a shame as it's the only place to eat in reasonable/late walking distance. The hotel has a relative monopoly on food/drink service and could make it a much better experience w better talent management.

They serve you fresh waster (Drinks to order include Hanks, Boylan's, Harney and Sons, Teas etc.) and will serve you at the table or you can walk up and order at the counter. Their menu has a great mix of deli, steak, "chicken" steak, meatball, sausage and cutlet sandwiches with interesting flavor combos. You can also get breakfast (till 11AM) or a salad. They also have sides that include - tots, fried pickle chips, onion rings, fries, fried mozzarella and Zayda's pickle spears, chips and cherry pepper shooters. They have a couple of vegan options and GF rolls for extra $$. The staff was more than happy to give recommendations and their favs. My first lunch was The Eye - $15 Ribeye steak, Cooper Sharp American, fried onions came on a seeded Liscio's roll. If you enjoy the somewhat newer Cooper sharp style that's out there you'll like theirs. The Cooper sharp was gooey, mixed in well with the meat and on the heavier side. The ribeye was thin cut, delicious and the portion was pretty hefty. Second visit I went with - The Nad - $15 Chicken cutlet, fresh mozzarella, prosciutto, arugula, Mike's Hot Honey that came on an unseeded Liscio's roll. The portion size was good, chicken was fresh with good breading, the hot honey was a tad on the heavy side, but the flavors all came together pretty good on this one. Sweet, salty, light bitterness from the arugula and some heat from the hot honey. I added Thin Cut Idaho fries to make it a combo for $3 extra and I have to say they were delicious. They smelled like McD's and tasted similar. They are cash only, but have an ATM on site. You can use a card if you order online. The one bathroom they have was pretty clean and organized. I will certainly stop back for a visit if I'm in the area to try out more of their menu. Thanks guys!

Love the made to order menu and being able to customize. Food comes out in about ten minutes. Drinks were well crafted; even the NA mocktails were delicious. Love all the nods to local Philly- sports, beer garden, Ben Franklin. The amenities are the game changer. Showers were really spacious and soooooo luxurious. The rest pod was a peaceful break from the airport noise. And my absolute favorite- the free facial! You have to sign up via QR code for any amenities, which you can only access once you're in the lounge. So pro tip- soon as you sit down, check the amenity schedule first- even before cocktail or food.

I do wish the bartenders had more authority to stop serving patrons. There was an absolutely obnoxious man and woman two tables down from me who were reading every text message that they received out loud and then laughing uproariously. They had at least three glasses each on their table and got two more while I was there. They ordered a massive amount of food, didn't eat it, and then shifted two tables down and ordered more food. When the servers came by to clear their initial table, the couple laughed and said Oh yeah - the people who were here didn't like that that much. So not so much a commentary on the lounge itself, which is very nice and probably one of the better lounges that I have been in, but to the quality of some of the patrons that you might encounter, should you choose to spend some time here.

    While on layover at our country's maiden capital city awaiting the overnight transatlantic flight…read morethat'll ferry Leti and I to scenic Lisbon, Portugal, my always gorgeous bride and I were bemused by the Independence Prime, a hip but quirky place who endeavors to "make the airport experience less dreary." Lovely Leti and I were hungrier than jackals after American Airlines dared to nourish our 5.5hr flight from LA to PHL w/ a mere Biscotti wafer paired w/ a 4oz pour of soda- We also had nearly four hours to extinguish til we boarded our connecting flight to Portugal...so we took the bait- "Prime US, Independence Prime" we challenged. Our server was a delightful young Ethiopian lady w/ a dazzling smile and great presence of mind despite her singlehandedly serving the bulk of the restaurant herself. Her relaxed manner amd quick smile paired with good enough service to satisfy us. "But what about the food?!" you holler. The starter, Brussel Sprouts Wok'd with bacon, diced pear and candied walnuts, was a flat non-starter for us. For one, the appetizer was brought out several minutes after our entrees were, a culinary faux pax I thought the Chinese restaurants had monopolized. Second, at $15 the dish was a little overpriced, most notably when you factor in the lack of coherence in the dish. The brussel sprouts were day old, previously fried then reheated. The bacon was a bit underdone and pieces of pear weren't completely cleaved from other pieces. Leti's Chicken Sando was highlighted by a peppery lemon vinaigrette that made the flavors soar like one of the Eagles recent "Super Bowl Champion" banners do at Lincoln Field. Me, humbled to be known in the greater Los Amgeles area as "your favorite Yelp correspondent..." decided that I could not visit Philadelphia Airport and avert ordering a CHEESESTEAK. My cheesesteak was pretty fly! Obligatory amoroso long loaf baguette heaped with tendrils of flaky flat-topped rib eye, oozy Provolone and mushrooms + onions. The fries were hot, not overly-salinated and performed admirably in service of the star, that unctuous homage to Philly herself, the noble cheesesteak! The ambiance was good- The venue fairly thronged with futbol fanatics cheering lustily as Spain delivered the coup de grace, winning shot in the 89th minute to eclipse Belgium in the World Cup quarterfinal. Our bill, for two entrees, one starter, a soda, taxes and tip was $79.73. In the end, Independence Prime may not deliver Prime Time appetizers but the rest of the meal rose to the challenge.

    Unfortunate. Over priced, served cold, terrible portion size. Keep walking, plenty of other options…read morein the terminals.
