    The famous biscuit
    Angela L.

    We got to the airport a few hours before our late night flight and planned to have dinner here. It was crowded and the place isn't very big. Luckily a table opened up just as we walked up. Unluckily the service was slow. I wouldn't recommend this place if you are paranoid about missing your plane. The place served southern comfort food.. My husband and I got the honey chicken and pickles. The chicken was juicy and the sauce was just the right sweetness. The sauce got everywhere making our hands sticky. The pickles were ok. The coleslaw that came with it wasn't my favorite and the biscuit was a little dry. The waiter made an effort to make sure we had everything we needed but you can tell he was tired and overworked.

    For the food, 4 stars but for the price... 3. So I'm giving this spot 3.5 stars overall but on the lower end of that for the overall experience. The fried pickle spears were great with their house dipping sauce. Not soggy and tons of flavor. Definitely a great reason why they have their name! Fried chicken Caesar was ok. Well-dressed but chicken breading has no flavor and a bit dry. Needed to use the rest of my fried pickle sauces to compensate. They had a Jacob's pickles draft beer (and despite the pickles in the name it does not have or taste like pickles!). Really great draft beer though. Great lager flavor. The problem is that for those 3 items I paid almost $60 including tip. About what you can expect given this is NYC and the airport but that's pretty steep given the location. Service was fine enough, but given that you're in a casual spot at JFK it's nothing fancy. They helped me fast but I noticed some inconsistencies when people tried to get their attention at the bar. Bar stool seating had charging outlets so that was a nice thing to have!

    New airport outpost of Jacob's Pickles in Terminal 4/JFK. The layout is not huge, but comfortable, with some tables, booths, and a bar. We decided to eat at the bar. The bartender was very pleasant. Our orders arrived promptly. The menu is an abridged version of the regular Jacob's Pickles restaurant menu. There is a breakfast menu until 11am. Other items mostly revolve around fried chicken and biscuits. I ordered the honey chicken sandwich with fries. Everything was delicious! The waffle fries were super crispy. The chicken was moist and flavorful. Loved the biscuit as well! A great addition to JFK!

    Jacobs Pickles On the way to my gate at the JetBlue terminal in JFK, having time for a quick lunch before departure, decided to try Jacob's Pickles. The space was well lit and lots of seating with charging outlets even at the bar. We saw two seating at the end of a high top which is convenient for our carryon bags and were seated right away by a very nice server. Ordered the Jacob's Burger, it was extraordinarily good, straight out of the kitchen warm, sweet high quality beef topped with onions, pickles of course and cheese served on a brioche bun with enough substance to hold the very moist hamburger and its toppings. I am tempted to try their NYC location when I get home.

    It's hard to find good help. That's the bottom line, service was horrible ,because the bartender/server was rude. Ambience was three stars and the food was what you would come to expect from an airport restaurant that's a take on a really amazing restaurant. What really shined was the manager? She was understanding and I understood that it's hard to get good help. I'd actually like to thank her because she was the one highlight from the whole experience.

    The food was ok. Nothing special. Just save the money. McDonalds makes a better food.

    Those pickles are amazing!!!

This was the closest dining establishment that served alcohol by our gate, so we stopped by. It is pretty small and cramped, but we managed to find two seats along the window facing the planes. It was hard to fit in the area as people tend to put bags on seats, etc. Plus the walkway to the kitchen is right there so you feel like you are in the way. Food wise, I liked my salad. Could have done without the chips as I really just wanted greens, veggies, and protein. For $26, it was obviously on the smaller side, but hey, it's an airport resto. My drink was all right. Kinda weak in the liquor and spice department, but fine for sipping. My friend seemed to enjoy his food and cocktail. I wish there were more options in this area of the airport. But this will do if I want a drink. REVIEW #4023

The matcha yogurt also had no matcha.... The egg corn scramble was a little watery, and everything needed hot sauce which is fine since they provide several.

You can debate the nuances of each-- Centurion's food is better, Capital One's is larger and has a cheese monger, Ess a Bagel, and better cocktails. But compared to the sort of lounges that don't have their own bathrooms and offer nothing more than some bananas and cereal, you really could do worse. The Sapphire lounge in LGA is larger and prettier, but they pretty much offer the same amenities. The bathrooms have been clean every time I've visited, save for one time. The menu isn't vast but there's a little buffet station with fresh fruit and hot food, as well as a made to order menu with full sized portions. Sometimes the food has been quick, and other times it has taken a while, so you really should give yourself some buffer time if you're trying to get something from the made to order menu. The food is fine. I've visited enough times to say that the folks who work here have been so warm and nice each time, checking in and asking guests how they're doing. Garbage is cleaned up immediately, so it's a pretty well oiled machine in there. You can bring up to 2 guests and any additional guests cost just $27 more, which I'd say it's worth it, particularly if you have a long layover and will have a couple of drinks.

It's the first time that I ever venture into a capital one lounge. Staff at from desk gave an overview and the lay of the lounge. As you walked in after checking in there were nice comfortable chairs. The ambiance and decor is really inviting. Walked to the Bodega station and ordered a Swiss and Pastrami on a toasted cinnamon raisin bagel. Then I saw staff making coffee. I placed an order for a cappuccino, she said you have to place order where you were for the food. Mentioned first time, so she said no problem and she made the cappuccino as I waited. Had no idea when the bagel was going to be ready, so I went to find a place to sit and place my luggage.. Staff said Swiss and Pastrami on Cinnamon Bagel. I went to get item. In the Bodega you can get wrap and bagel sandwiches to go and pack to go items. On all the tables there were QR code where you scan and place an order. I decided to check out the buffet area. There were items that you pick up and put in tray and take to table. The Brussel sprout and deviled egg were delicious. The croissant with crème filling was addicting. There were bags where you can put sweets to go. If you flying Delta, make sure you pack and order stuff to go. Delta only serve beverage and chips/cookie... even if your flight is 6 hours. Restrooms spacious and clean. It was hard to find this place. After security, The Capital One Lounge is before Gate B 20. So if you pass Gate B20 then you passed the Capital One Lounge. So make sure you give ample time to get to your gate leaving the lounge. The gate where my flight was at Gate B53 so it's a good 20 minute walk. Lots of staff coming over to remove empty trays as well as clean tables. Look forward to checking out other Capital One Lounges.
