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.

I didn't have time to make a sandwich, and thought that GF items would be limited in the airport…read more My absolute favorite fries are crinkle fries! Idk exactly why. 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 had never heard of Baked by Melissa before, but I ended up trying a couple of their mini cupcakes…read moreat a friend's party. They're tiny, even smaller than the mini muffin bites you might get from Little Debbie, but I actually enjoyed them. I didn't pay for them myself, so I can't really comment on the value, but I was told the person who brought them picked them up all the way in Queens. I'm assuming they came from one of the company's Queens locations. What I liked most is that they're bite-sized. They make for a nice little treat, especially for someone who's trying to watch their portions. Eating one or two doesn't feel like a major indulgence, and you still get the best part of a cupcake in a few bites. My only complaint is that they were a little too sugary for my taste. Still, I thought they were pretty good overall. If you're looking for a small dessert that satisfies a sweet tooth without committing to a full-sized cupcake, these are worth trying.

I loved being able to grab a tiny 6-pack for my flight--because, let's be honest, cupcakes make any…read moretrip better! I do wish there was an option to pick your own flavors, but the pre-selected options were still tasty. Super friendly customer service! Not too much on display or decor/ambiance in the location, making it look less inviting. Great for a quick stop pre flight for something sweet.

Ciao Bella Now Uses Fillers in their Ice Cream!…read more Diasppointed to see that many (all? - we had their chocolate and triple espresso) of their ice creams now use - Guar Gum - Locust Bean Gum - Carrageenan all at the same time. Yikes! We loved the ice cram they make, but now won't touch it. Had some lately and wondered why it tasted funny. Then we read the list of ingredients. Looks like the expansion of their business drove a once great brand to focus more on profits than on the quality that got them to the top.

It was closed and taken over by FIFA using it as one of their office hubs because of the World Cup being here. BOOOOOOO!!!!! Like that corrupt organization could not afford to set up their own booth or tent area on this floor? Or locate it somewhere else? Very disappointing experience.

I'm assuming My Mother's Place 2 is relatively new since there were zero Yelp reviews and a mere one (which was a rave) on that site that rhymes with Moogle. Italian/water ices, creme ices, and ice creams come in a variety of flavors at this welcoming shop with super friendly staff. I ordered a medium (5 ounces, $5) and was thrilled to learn that I could pick two flavors. Passion fruit and cherry were my eventual selections, and they were really delicious. Some non-ice-related items were on the menu too, like hot dogs and nachos. There were a couple of arcade games you could play, and the restroom was clean. And we were told there was a patio in the back though we didn't check it out. Nice stop for an ice fix!

This was the only place where we got beer... it was expensive and the service was so slow, but we had no other choice.. Average ambience .

It's super popular since it's one of the view relatively affordable food options in Terminal 8, so seating tends to get crowded, there's usually a short line from noon thru the afternoon and early evening times though they are pretty efficient in both taking and processing orders. The line to order and the kitchen directly behind it--are along the left side of the restaurant, there are both registers to place in-person orders or kiosks to order digitally. Then you step over to the waiting area which is at the front left of the storefront, kinda pouring out into the terminal walkway. Seating is in the middle and right and consists in about 30 seats at tables for 2 or bar seating along the right wall. The space is pretty cramped considering travelers with carry-ons. Food-wise I got a chicken shack and side of fries ($18.26 including tax) which I was satisfied with, the meat was juicy and the exterior crunchy. The fries were crinkle cut and not too crispy on the outside, soft on the inside.bun was soft though held up the protein, tomato, onions a couple slices of pickles and piece of lettuce (I elected to add the toppings). I'd drop by again if I was hungry and waiting for a flight in terminal 8. Interestingly enough they had a staff member that was approaching patrons asking them how their experience was and asking (nicely) if they could write reviews on Google, no benefits attached whatsoever though sounds like they were hoping for some positive reviews and also asking for feedback.
