I stopped before my flight out of Philly. Sihavon was focused on customer service and was AMAZING. Very inviting and the food was equally amazing. It may have been my best restaurant experience in an airport read more

Only stopped in for a beer before my flight, but I had a good experience and would definitely come back. The staff was friendly, the music was good, and the overall vibe was relaxed. The beer selection was decent, although pretty limited when I visited, especially on tap. That said, the shelves behind the bar looked very well stocked with liquor, so there seemed to be plenty of other options. I didn't get a chance to eat, but the food coming out looked really good. I'm looking forward to coming back when I have more time and actually trying the menu. read more

Middle Child - Bar - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Anyone who's been to Middle Child (fishtown or center city) knows how good the sandwiches are. Airport middle child doesn't hold a flame to the other locations. Maybe it's obvious that airport quality is inherently worse. Anyway we ordered the breakfast sandwich and shopsin club. The egg in the breakfast sandwich was a fried egg patty which was weird, but not terrible. The bread wasn't good tho. Shopsin club was the tastier of the two sandwiches. But same story- the ingredients weren't great and the sandwich was much smaller than the other middle child locations. I mean still not a bad option for airport food but I couldn't help comparing this experience to what I know Middle Child could be. This was more like Only Child.... read more

What an exciting addition to PHL! First, I love the aesthetic, all the sitting, outlets for charging and comfortable seats. Great location at Terminal D and easy to walk to after getting off the shuttle. Second, I love fresh food, and it is HARD to find that when traveling in an airport. I am currently exhausted and sleep-deprived, and all I wanted tonight was something fresh that wasn't a salad for once. You don't make friends with salad, and I love greens, but I needed a sandwich FAST. Enter Middle Child who has homemade gluten free bread from a local baker and a VERY knowledgeable staff about gluten allergies. VERY knowledgeable. Even in an airport, with allergies they clean the griddle and change their gloves, and they don't complain about it! EVERYONE understood the assignment, and I felt very safe eating here. Let's talk sandwich. I got the Shopsin Club on GF bread, and when I say I devoured it, that is the classy way of saying I housed that sandwich FAST. I don't even know if I took a breath TBH. The freshness of every bite hits hard. Homemade pickles that have a great crunch and my favorite vinegar bite, a cranberry miso that was lovely without tasting heavy or greasy, HUGE pieces of avocado and a CHUNK of turkey. I have been sitting here for 15 minutes considering getting another one because it was truly that good. It just tasted so fresh and I felt just so light after eating it. I was able to go on my next flight not worrying about food sitting in my tummy or a tummy ache. Even the bread was perfectly crispy and not even a little bit broke off when eating it. The bread holding up to the sandwich was impressive, and that CRUNCH. YES!!! All on such a friendly, kind staff who checked in on me and asked me how I liked the food and made me smile and laugh after a very long day was greatly appreciated, and in an airport where everyone is always on the move, it was nice to stop and have a friendly eating experience. Next time I'm here I will 100% stop by again, and I will rave about them any time I can! I'm sure their other locations are just as great too! read more

I got hella excited to see this franchise at the airport. The experience wasn't that great. The kitchen and serving staff seem to be getting orders mixed up. Also the kitchen seemed to not know how to make the orders. Definitely did not taste like the actual spot in fishtown. $18 for a small sandwich that had fast food taste vibes. read more

Tremendous consistency throughout all locations for the Middle Child family, well done. Airport location was quick service, got my sandwich in under 10 minutes. Tasted and felt exactly the same as any other location would make it. Friendly staff and fair prices for the airport. So Long Sal remains the best sandwich in Philly without a doubt! read more

Middle Child - Omg.. The Burger add egg & bacon! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Arguably one of the best meals I've had at an airport eatery (low bar, I know). I'm in Philly at least a few times a year and always at D gate (thanks Alaska). Did not even know that this place had been put in (opened in September). Menu looked great and Bryan (great name!) working the counter was perhaps the friendliest person I've encountered at an airport. Ordered the breakfast sandwich and went all in with bacon & avocado added + a side of tots. Sandwich was fantastic and it's SO much food. Even with a big appetite, I couldn't finish the whole thing. It's definitely a shareable. Orange juice was good too. Will definitely be coming back here the next time I'm flying out of Philly. read more

Ended up at the gate right near this restaurant and decided to give it a try. The sandwiches were both EXCELLENT, chock full of meat & excellent flavors. Siobhan was incredibly friendly and everyone working was smiling and having a great time (rare for the Philly airport). Would definitely head to this terminal just to get sandwiches again. Want to try the tots next time too! read more

Great service. Located at end of terminal D. Can dine in or carry out. They have some of staples that they have a storefront in center city. read more

Wow. I never write a review but that Middle Child sandwich was amazing. The best airport food I've ever had. I will dream about those sweet pickles. The staff was also very friendly. If the airport one is this good, I can't wait to try it in Center City. read more

I was SO excited to find a Philly favorite in the D gates (right by D12) in PHL. Is it as good as the main location, no. Is it some of the best eats you'll find in PHL, absolutely. Also as this cafe area is closed off for customers only, it is very peaceful, has lots of plugs to charge up, and is just enjoyable to sit at while waiting for your flight. I just want to call out how courteous the staff is here. Everyone was so nice and just going above and beyond to make sure everyone enjoyed their food. If you're in PHL, I would highly recommend stopping by! read more

Middle Child - Breakfast sandwich with a side of sour pickles. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The "best breakfast sandwich in America"?? It's literally just bland eggs and pastrami, that tastes identical to their corned beef, on sliced bread that comes in a plastic bag like the ones you buy in the bread aisle buy at ShopRite. There's absolutely nothing special about that sandwich; it's like something you'd find in a child's lunch box. Has everyone lost their minds? read more

The staff are lovely first of all... warm, helpful and professional. It's honestly not something you expect at the airport!! I love the middle child in center city but didn't know if the airport location would be as good. Sometimes airports... are well, just not as good. It is absolutely delicious. The shopsin sandwich is so good. I usually get the delicious surfer at the center city location. Their turkey is the absolute best. I've been 2 times now and walked all the way from another terminal to get my sandwich. Was well worth the walk. Again, lovely staff, and excellent food!!! read more

At long last and with much anticipation from frequent PHL Delta flyers, Middle Child has finally opened in the D gate area! The menu offers a selection of brunch sandwiches, salads, and beverages, including liquor/beer. Coming in at $12 minimum per breakfast sandwich, this spot has a lot to prove in comparison to the prices of the Dunkin next door. Having not been to the original location, we ordered the Breakfast Sandwich and honestly were hoping for a little more interest than what we received. The sandwich was grilled on white bread that felt buttery to the touch. Melted white American cheese and arugula sat atop a thick patty of fluffy egg- perhaps steamed before being grilled? Not a bad taste, but a bit bland. We would have preferred a little less butter but were pleased it wasn't as salty as most airport fare. Can you convince yourself that this is a healthier option based on the arugula? Probably not, but I did like seeing some green in there! Seating area is roomy and offers great gate views and an arrivals/departures board for convenience. Food is delivered to your seat after order. Not bad but not overly impressive. Hopefully this spot will flourish to continue to add some variety to the terminal! read more

* I ordered the blueberry grilled cheese -- didn't know it was going to be cooked in the fryer... very greasy... * the grilled cheese really had no flavor, despite looking like it did, besides grease/oil -- looking at the menu it was missing the arugula & was 100% not on a ciabatta * extremely friendly staff member took my order (he seemed to maybe be the manager/someone in charge) read more

I had the tater tots. They were crispy and extra delicious. The cashier was very friendly, they made eating there delightful.

I'm a frequent flyer. This is the best and friendliest service that I have ever had at a restaurant in an airport. They go out of their way to be sure that you are well taken care of and they always have a smile on their faces. It is a must stop if you are at terminal D in PHL! read more

The food & service here are amazing!! If you find yourself flying out of Philly from D10 thru D16 skip Bar Symon and check this place out!!! And if your higher up in the D-gates c'mon down!! My server Connor brought a smile to my face along with his attentive service making my wait to board time so much more enjoyable!! Highly recommend this place!!! read more

"Best breakfast sandwich" was just that! I have never left a review before. This place was worth the hype.

Terrible experience. This is no way the same place that's downtown. I ordered the shopsin which downtown comes on this nice crunchy thick bread type thing and here at the airport it comes on sliced rye and it's all falling apart and soggy. Figured it would be the same as downtown guess I was wrong. read more

Amazing service, and patient, kind, thoughtful recommendations. Lovely lady suggested a menu item we truly enjoyed---my middle son said it was the best Chicken Sandwich he'd ever had--other items were top quality and delicious as well. Perfect airport ambience. Open bar, lots of seating g great variety, with benches, counters and tables. I'm overlooking an awesome art installation by Xue' Er Gao. read more

I've been to their Fishtown location and had the breakfast sandwich there (it was great) but I'm afraid the food here is not quite as good. I had the burger with tater tots. Both were exceedingly mediocre. The burger was overly greasy, saucy, and under-seasoned, and the tater tots were quite literally the frozen kind that you would get at a school cafeteria. There were no napkins or straws within reach at my place at the bar either, I had to ask for both. The bartender was nice. I will be going to the Smashburger next time I'm craving a burger at PHL. read more
