a menu and a bunch of bananas
Lisa C.

I wouldn't revisit this place again. The customer service lacked and the cappuccino was mediocre at best. Additionally, false advertisement is annoying. The photos of fresh baked goods lured us in combined with the fact they had coffee. But for a few less than appealing pastries, there wasn't much available nor were the featured items.

Grilled cheese ripoff

I was advertised a "grown-up" grilled cheese with multiple items included within the sandwich. Service was very slow. I believe they threw in these lovely free chips due to the fact I was given nothing other than a lousy slice of cheese between two stale pieces of bread for $17, which obviously, was not what I was promised. No meat, no veggie...? Yes, $17.

$15 for a dogfood sandwich. Y'all ever heard of McDonalds??? I mean seriously Stevie wonder could make a better sandwich.

$15 for a crappy sandwich. Do yourself a favor and try this place called McDonalds. They manage to make a hot sandwich for under $10 at the airport. I know this place is banking on the "premium" thing but this is anything but premium. Two crappy slices of bacon and foodservice eggs. Will never go to any LaBrea again. Don't put your name on this garbage.

Welcome to a breakfast place at JFK offering long lines, no regular cream cheese left at 7:00 AM (necessitating a $1.49 upgrade to flavored cream cheese), and a pint of water for an astounding $4.79. Bagel was smallish and dry. Just another example of a greedy chain taking advantage of their captive audience. Avoid if you can!

Thankfully I was super early for my flight, because I don't think I would of had the patience to wait. The line was much longer when I got on, but I wanted a chai latte and all the other stores lines were even worse. Once I got to the front and ordered my ice chai latte, I asked for almond milk but initially the lady made it with whole milk. Right as she was about to give it to me she realized her mistake. I gave grace because they were so busy, and I'm glad she caught it before giving it to me. She quickly made another one with almond, and she apologized a few times. The latte wasn't the best, but it did the job for the time I was there waiting for my flight.

This place is a rip off. I have it one star because of a lady who helped me get my coffee. Bibi H who served me was not a good person nor was she even willing to help out anyone. I asked for 2 breakfast sandwiches no cheese panini's. Instead I got 2 on bagels. I am diabetic so bagels are not good for me nor did I even ask for a bagel sandwich. Also when she told me the price for 2 sandwich's and a large coffee it came out to be $33.72 When I asked her to remove 1 sandwich she threw a hissy fit so I just said ok don't worry about it I'll take it. All she had to do is ouch some buttons and take off one sandwich but her fingers musta be broken. The sandwich in the end was not even worth the $12.99 dollars each. Please don't even bother with this place it's a rip off. It seems in Covid times there prices were Jack up. That's just great for people who were out of work to just charge twice the price for subpar crap food

Sausage nightmare
Mark L.

Pre made sandwiches are a mess. If you have time ask for a fresh made sandwich which is bad vs horrible.. Prices outrageous. Coffee poor. Avoid and believe all the reviews. They are living off their location being isolated.

I should have read the reviews. The grilled vegetable sandwich had few veggies and no avocado. Cost $15.95 for a chibatta roll.

We were able to make reservations. As you know we tear the bday girl so it came out to about 40 dollars including tip per person. We weren't a big drinking group but if you are add another 10-30 per person if everyone is going to have a drink or two. Food was pretty good. It's an open pitch concept. So you can see them prepping your food. Wait staff was super nice and friendly. Decor is rustic ao super cute for pics. Chicken and waffles were a hit at our table. A few ppl had mimosas ans were please with the oj to champagne ratio. The chocolate mouse was delicious ! I had the salmon burger it was not a salmon patty it was a cut of salmon The culmination of the customer service and ambience I give them a five. Food is good and decent portion size.

It is a residential area so keep that in mind. We were seated right away during the midday hour. There were other people there but it wasn't overly crowded which was really relaxing and comfortable. The service was exceptional. To put a cherry on top of this review, I would like to add that we asked for the manager and she came over to our table sat with us, had coffee, and we had a really great conversation about so many different topics. That really was impressive because it's so important for managers to know their customers, and to know the community that they are doing business in. One to the food, the jerk salmon was well seasoned, and well prepared. It was cooked to a great temperature and tasted really good. The chicken and waffles were well seasoned and the waffle was so fluffy and warm and nice. I really appreciated the fact that although it was chicken tenders, the batter was seasoned really well and you could taste something other than just chicken. lol. I would definitely return because I saw so many things on the menu that I would want to try. they also serve mimosas, wine, and lots of hot drinks and I want to try their mimosa flight.

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.

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.

I ordered and walked to another market to get some other items for my flight home. It took me about 10mins. When I returned, the order was still not made. I waited an additional 10 minutes for my order. The good news is that I was able to watch it be freshly made by the female staff. The staff was one older women handling everything on her own, ordering, cooking, preparing, restocking supplies, and fulfilling orders all by herself. The other female worker, a young lady, was in the back and only popped out once. When she did, the older female worker who was taking care of everything asked her for more pita bread and other supplies. The young female rolled her eyes and never came back after 20mins.

It's tomatoes, cucumbers and onions. The cucumbers were hard and bland. Tomatoes were soggy. Purple onions were in huge chunks and very overpowering. Honestly, this meal was pretty nasty. My mom ordered the gyro and it was much of the same.

The hostess greeted me warmly and allowed me to browse the menu at my leisure without feeling rushed. The seating was spacious, and the self-serve bar area offered plenty of room.

The menu was straightforward, offering a tempting selection of chicken sandwiches and biscuit dishes. After some thought, I settled on the chicken ranch, it was ready in less than five minutes! The "Porch Sipper" drink was delightful; I ended up ordering a second, as its flavors transported me to open Kentucky fields, sitting on a wraparound porch on a warm summer day, savoring the music and gazing at the blue summer sky. The experience was truly immersive. And I must say, the staff radiated positive energy, they seemed genuinely happy to be there, which makes a difference when dealing with thousands of travelers daily. Jacob's Pickles is definitely a must-visit spot when passing through JFK Terminal 5.
