    First time trying the food here and well, it was ok. The service took long, but I guess it gets really busy since it's at the airport. The waitress did mess up some orders, but maybe she was just overwhelmed. The fries were ok. And the burger was pretty good, the sauce was a nice touch. Just wish the pickle was a pickle spear instead of a few slices, so I was not happy with that given the name of this place.

    Had lunch here while on a layover and since there weren't much in dining options since a lot of places in T5 were closed or under construction, I decided to dine at Jacob's Pickles. I got the honey chicken and pickles biscuit sandwich. The chicken was good with the honey giving a nice sweetness to it. The biscuit seemed a tad dry. The waffle fries were cold and greatly unseasoned with only the ketchup there to save it. The staff looked bored and some acting like they didn't want to be there.

    I never in my life ate such a horrible food! How you can make a hamburger which look and taste like piece of leather? Very simple: it was, probably, cooked day before!

    Came here for a meal and drinks. They all arrived so quickly that I would confidently sit down and order 40 mins before boarding when they're at half capacity. I ordered the honey chicken and pickles and the Portland white beer. The beer was great, biscuit was dry, and the chicken was thin. The waffle fries were decent, and their pickles were so basic that I wouldn't have named the restaurant after the pickles... moreover, their oven wasn't working, so no mac and cheese, and they ran out of their own beer. Server was kind and attentive, and the music here makes me feel like I'm out bar hopping.

    Not many sit down restaurants or places to eat that didn't have a long line at JFK. Prices are very high... not a bad cup of coffee and omelette but not worth the price.

    My server Danny was super friendly! There was some sort of launch party going on today and there was a very loud DJ outside but despite all of this my drink and my sandwich were really really good. I was actually shocked it was so tasty for airport food. Highly recommend!!

    It's located in an airport. Sat at the counter. Server asked what time our flight was, which was nice. We had a bit over an hour. I got the ham, egg and cheese on a biscuit, with coffee and a glass of water. Coffee came. Sandwich came. No water. After asking for water again, twice, the water finally came. Asked for a refill on my coffee, and the server came with a large to go coffee for me (no extra charge). Nice.

    While waiting for my recent flight at JFK I saw they have a Jacob's Pickles here. It's in JetBlue Terminal 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.

    Breakfast in the airport check. Might look busy but they get you in and out so you don't miss your flight while the food still taste great. The chicken is crispy and juicy at the same time and makes you want more. Spacing was a bit tight with people and luggage but the food made up for it. Really a good stop when you want something hearty before your flight

    I stopped at Jacob's Beer, Biscuits & Pickles in Terminal 5 -- the JetBlue terminal at JFK -- during a layover and ended up really enjoying my experience. I grabbed a seat at the bar and ordered a glass of wine while waiting for my connecting flight. The service at the bar was friendly and attentive, which is always a win in a busy airport. The only downside -- and probably no surprise for any airport traveler -- was the price of the wine. A 9 oz Canyon Road pour was $24, which definitely made me blink twice. Airport pricing... yikes! But at least everything else made up for it. One thing I really appreciated was that the menu wasn't your typical generic airport food. As someone who loves biscuits and pickles, this spot immediately drew me in. I ordered the Buttermilk Chicken & Biscuits, and it was delicious. The chicken breast was fried perfectly -- crispy, flavorful, and piping hot -- served over a biscuit drizzled with honey and topped with chopped pickles. It came with classic waffle fries, and the entire dish arrived incredibly fast. Overall, it was a bright, tasty surprise for an airport meal and far better than the usual grab-and-go options. Despite the predictable airport drink prices, I'd absolutely stop here again for a satisfying bite between flights.

    Burger was dry, maybe try medium?

    I can't complain about the menu, because it has the word Pickles in the name of the restaurant, but if you hare Pickles, steer clear, lol. I had the burger with cheese and an onion ring on top. Very dry. Waffle fries were good. Husband loved his classic macaroni and cheese.

    The Jacob's pickles located in JFK was convenient to order on the kiosk before catching an early morning flight. My order was ready shortly after I placed it. I ordered the bacon egg and cheese biscuit with home fries. The fries were good but the biscuit was dry and was more like cornbread instead of a biscuit. I didn't finish the biscuit.

    We were flying out of JFK Airport on Friday morning and every food place was very crowded so we decided to give this place a try. It was also busy but we got a table after a few minutes wait. The menu has several biscuit breakfast sandwiches as well as a few omelettes. I opted for the ham egg and cheese breakfast biscuit with waffle fries. Everything tasted great. My husband had the vegetable cheese omelette with waffle fries. He also loved the food. The music was also good.

    28 dollars and a 40 minute wait for some chopped lettuce and a piece of chicken smothered in a half gallon of ranch dressing. Enough said?

Been either dining in or ordering take out ever since they opened the Rego Park location. Service is always friendly and amazing either dine in or take out. Take out is super easy. Order on line and you can even accumulate points for a future discount. They also deliver for free and its pricing is better than the online ordering services. We ordered 1lb each of the shrimp with head, snow crab legs and craw fish. We love the oceanic sauce but also ordered on garlic butter with old baby cause the little one loves it. You can also pick the level of spiciness. Only drawback is, seems like there's less sauce and the sauce is very watery compared to before and my kids love dipping the seafood back in the sauce and coating their rice in the sauce. We love the mango pina colada with a kick and the virgin option is always a treat for the 21 and under. They even sent an extra drink today since they made an extra by accident. Thank you!!!

The service was good "quick" as usual. We were met as we entered the restaurant by a female service however she had a mouth full of food. We ordered the Braised Short Rib and the Chicken Tagine. We received our food within just a few minutes no more than 7-10 minutes. Although there was steam coming off of the couscous the chicken was ice cold. It was obvious that my food had been simply thrown into a microwave. The couscous although hot it was overcooked and mushy. The chicken was warm on the bottom but extremely cold as I cut into it. The Short Rib dish had the same problem. The pasta was steamy hot but the rib was cold. I really don't have a problem eating cold beef, but I can't eat cold chicken. I would have sent my dish back however it was obvious that they weren't going to make a new dish I felt they would have just nuked it longer. If I wanted nuked food I could have picked up a frozen dinner at the grocery store. Go for the wine, not the food.

    8/12/2026 MIXED BAG THIS REVIEW: The Cheesecake Factory - Pasta Da Vinci…read more Okay, Mixed Bag family, this one was definitely a mixed bag! I ordered the Pasta Da Vinci at The Cheesecake Factory expecting a rich, savory pasta with chicken and mushrooms. As soon as they put the plate in front of me, I started having an allergic reaction from the smell alone. It had this strong, funky, almost stinky-cheese smell that immediately threw me off. Then came the taste. That sauce was SWEET. And when I say sweet, I'm talking almost teriyaki-sauce sweet. The description made this dish sound savory, and that's exactly what I was expecting. But for me, this dish was anything but savory. The sweetness completely took over the sauce, and it was not the flavor profile I expected from this pasta. Unfortunately, there was a much bigger issue. After I ate some of the pasta, my reaction became worse. I experienced wheezing and throat tightness and had to use my inhaler. When I got home, I looked up the ingredients because I wanted to know what was actually in this dish. That's when I discovered that the sauce is made with Madeira wine, an ingredient I'd never had before. I can't say for certain what caused my reaction, but that was the one ingredient that was completely new to me. NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT JOSHUA! Joshua was our server, and he was AMAZING. He was attentive, caring, and genuinely concerned about my well-being when he realized I was having a reaction. He checked on me and made sure I was okay. His level of concern and customer service did not go unnoticed. The Cheesecake Factory, please recognize Joshua for the excellent service he provided. He handled a scary situation with care and professionalism, and he was GREAT! MIXED BAG THIS VERDICT Pasta Da Vinci: BRUTAL Sauce: Way too sweet for my taste. Joshua's Service: EXCELLENT! Would I order Pasta Da Vinci again? Absolutely not. Would I return to The Cheesecake Factory? No! This was my personal experience with this particular dish. Everyone's taste--and food sensitivities--can be different.

Lemme get the ugly out of the way and say the wait was atrocious. We were promised a 40 minute wait which turned into 2 HOURS but we didn't leave cause we ran here from manhattan and werent about to not have our cheesecake cheat day we planned months ago. Weird cuz we saw multiple tables open during the wait too that they werent seating anyone in. An hour in we asked how much longer and were told we were next and it would be any minute, yet the "any minute" ended up being another hour LOL. They called multiple parties up and sat them in all the empty tables all at once instead of seating them as they opened up. Weird strategy. Anyways that awkward wait was made up for with an awesome waiter that was attentive and funny. Forgot his name but it started with an A and he had black curly hair dude you were awesome we loved you. Got the Korean Cauliflower and Crab Dip as appetizers. Cauliflower was FIREEEE so freaking good. Crab dip was alright, but good strat was to put the dip on the brown bread oh that was pretty nice. Split the Chicken Parm Pizza Style which was NUTS. So decadent (wrong word but idk what the savory version of decadent is) that we only managed one slice each and had to take the rest home so freaking good like thats american food innovation right there lmfao. Cheesecakes we obviously got the Oreo Dream Extreme the best cheesecake on the menu, as good as I remember it. Also tried the Confetti Cheesecake which was really freaking good too, had some cotton candy vibes going on there.
