On a typical instance, airline food and airport food may as well be the same thing. Not here though! I've frequented ATL plenty of times before and have tried many different places to eat, and I've been mostly underwhelmed. However, if I have time for a concourse D excursion, I'll make my way here to eat! They offer a decent menu and have all the meats. It's all very good, I got a pulled pork Mac and cheese and it was savory and super filling. I actually couldn't even finish mine. They have sitdown service here and have room for about 30 or so people, but I think also offer express takeout service. Food comes out pretty quickly nonetheless. read more

Wow! We were pleasantly surprised by this barbecue restaurant located in terminal D of the Atlanta airport. We had about a two hour layover in Atlanta and found this wonderful barbecue restaurant. Our server was very friendly and definitely working very hard. She was the only one waiting on the tables in the restaurant while another woman was working behind the bar. I was a little bit worried about getting good service but she was very fast and efficient. My husband and I both ordered the brisket plate which was about $18. It came with two sides and bread. I ordered the potato salad and coleslaw with my entrée and both of them were very delicious. My husband ordered extra toast and macaroni and cheese, which were both very good. The brisket was tender and for the price we felt like we got a very large portion. As far as the barbecue sauce it was a perfectly matched with the Meat. I loved it so much. I put it on my potato salad too. My meal also came with delicious pickled onions. This restaurant was small yet clean and the service was absolutely fantastic. We would definitely eat at this restaurant again. read more

(3.5) This place was good. Near my departing gate, my mom and I stopped here for dinner. Virginia was our server and she was great, especially for being the only one working the dining room. Mustard Seed also offered a to go kiosk which could be convenient. They had some cute, airport themed drinks. We decided to try the Takeoff Martini (espresso martini) and the Layover Lemonade. Both drinks were fine, definitely on the sweeter side. We also ordered the pork nachos which were good and the coleslaw and corn bread muffins. The corn bread muffins were surprisingly really good, warm and fresh, they were tasty on their own. The coleslaw was yummy too, creamy and refreshing. This place was good. Not sure I'd stop here again if in this airport, but the service and food was decent. read more

I got two meats and two sides: The brisket was dry and chewy while the rib tips had no flavor and the sauce tasted only of mashed tomatoes. The coleslaw was meh tasting like the cabbage was over soaked in vinegar and layered with poppy seeds. Luckily: the potato chips were outstanding - delicious, and straight from the bag (not made by the restaurant). read more

Bad food, high prices. Airport food is typically a bad experience and Mustard Seed BBQ followed suit. The serving sizes are small for what you pay. The Mac and cheese was noodles and kraft cheese- nothing to write home about. The pork bbq was extremely greasy and even appeared to be slimy. Even the southern sweet tea had a moldy aftertaste that I verified with my wife. This was a one-and-done experience for me. Maybe they were having a bad (Thursday) evening, but I'll never know. read more

People that travel through Atlanta come to this spot for the wings! Period! Learn it! They never have wings. I have had brisket, brisket sandwich, pulled pork sandwich...all of which are good. The serve staff is the absolute worst. When I said thank you half a dozen times, the young lady turned her nose and kept walking. It's a simple Thank you! There are 8 tables and 11 barstools yet there is only 1 server and 2 bartenders. Maybe there needs to be a Management 101 class in someone's future. I travel through this airport 40+ weeks of the year. I have given them more than ample opportunity to figure it out. There are too many places to spend my time and money. I highly recommend that you do not waste your time or money here. read more

Not the best service as others have mentioned. I witnessed it firsthand as well. People coming in getting ignored and just leaving. They were out of so many items and the TV's were so loud with the games playing on TV. I loved pulled pork, the brisket, the green beans and coleslaw. Sad I didn't get to try the ribs or chicken. Once they can Google how to make enough food and then work on their service etiquette they might go places. read more

I love barbecue. But I made a fatal mistake. Ordering brisket outside of Texas. Service was a little slow at first. I wanted pulled pork. They were out. I wanted mac and cheese. They were out. I ordered brisket and pulled chicken. The brisket was disappointing. No bark, the smoke ring was small, and it wasn't cooked long enough to be tender. Why did I think Georgia thought they could make good brisket? The BBQ sauce made it edible. The pulled chicken was better. Flavorful and moist. The best part of the meal were the green beans. I don't know the type, but they are the flat green beans. Very flavorful. read more

Located in terminal D just past gate d 23 lies this gem. Have a seat at a table or bar Grab a pulled pork sandwich with chips. The bbq sauce and pulled pork were really good. The best pulled pork I have experienced at an airport! People watch, watch the tvs or listen to the music. The environment is pretty laid back for an airport food place. read more

I had a bit of a long layover so I decided to spend some time here. The food was pretty good and hit the spot. I got the chicken plate with potato salad and mac & cheese. I had ordered pork but the they were out. The food was within budget and the waitress was excellent. Someone next to me ordered a breakfast sandwich and was told they were out of that as well. I'd certainly pop in here for a bite again. read more

DON'T order the pimento cheese, as all you will get is an orange colored sludge - no flavor. Gentlemen seated next to us said their pulled pork sandwiches were disgusting also. Another potential patron walked over, asked our opinions, and went elsewhere! It is a shame that airport concessions can get away with nasty food. read more

I chose the one meat, 2 sides combo. I got the brisket, with greens and country potato salad. The brisket was better than I expected. Potato salad was also better than I expected Greens were acceptable. Sweet tea was.. extra sweet. All in all, a nice stop. read more

"A few things to consider in your review" Food Service Ambience "A few things to consider in your review" Food Service Ambience - I have considered all three categories, and the good news is that Mustard Seed presents a tremendous opportunity for improvement across each of them. We ordered the brisket sandwich and coleslaw; unfortunately, the brisket was served cold, and the coleslaw was only marginally palatable. Frankly, I am surprised that this establishment is permitted to operate on airport property under the current standards. read more

I didn't even order here because the attitudes of the service staff were so poor. Waited for at least 15 minutes, and after several people kept asking where their orders were and the waiter gave them excuses and flack back for it, we decided to leave, lest we miss our flight. read more

Would actually rate a zero and not 1 star. Went in to eat, wasn't told they weren't serving food, but bartender told us he didn't have a server. We asked do we come up to you to order and was told yes. We go up to bar to order and was told "it's just me" and went on to tend bar and clean the area. Disappointed. Bartender had time to be on his phone and sell beer, but that was it. I don't like giving bad reviews, and if we had been told they weren't serving food, we wouldn't have gone to the trouble of looking at the menu. read more

Update: The brisket sandwich (served with Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce in a cup) was actually quite good. The kids liked the Mac and cheese, but I thought it was bland and pasty. Corn muffins were moist and yummy. Corey (the guy with the UM lanyard) was really nice, and was just overstimulated by all the drunk craziness occurring while we were there. And Freddie (I'm guessing he was the manager)... I don't think his pulse got above 50 throughout all the nonsense, for better or worse (IMO he should've cut those people off way earlier, and just been more proactive in making sure customers were being attended to). So if I had a choice, I'd give this place 2.5 stars- but I'll round up to 3 stars because I'm feeling in a giving mood. Original: Walked up to the restaurant around 5pm to find about 15 people at the bar, most of them clearly sauced. Black guy behind the bar with the Michigan Wolverines lanyard clearly has some sort of auditory processing issue (or maybe the drunks were just too loud talking about politics?), because he couldn't understand our order unless we repeated it slowly 3 times. The dude next to us left after waiting 15 min for his order to be taken, only to be ignored. All we wanted was a nice brisket sandwich with some Mac and cheese and corn muffins... boy do I wish their self-serve kiosk was working! Had no idea this would be such an ordeal. I'll update this review and the 1-Star rating once (if?) we get our food. But this experience makes me wish my kids had never seen that they have Mac and cheese on the menu. read more

My flight was delayed so I sat down here. A girl came in after me and the bartender waited on her first. She ordered a Pinot, and I ordered a moscato. He brought her drink and then turned to me and said, "you wanted pinot, right?" And I said " no, moscato." When my drink arrived, it did not taste like mascotta. I paid $19 for the drink and left a $2 tip. The drink was not even cold. I have nothing nice to say. read more

Probably some of the rudest wait staff I've encountered. My recent visit was a serious disappointment. Would also not recommend as the food has continued to go downhill. read more

While on a morning layover in Atlanta, stopped here for a drink. Only the bar was open for drinks and no food was being served in the morning which was perfectly ok with me. I could smell the BBQ being smoked in the back though. I bet the food is delicious. The bartender was extremely friendly and she took care of me immediately. She was on point and ran that bar in a fast and very efficient manner. A few men walked up wanting certain draft beers but they were out of a few of them. The bartender knew what she was out of and rattled off what they had. A friendly face and demeanor in the early morning is always refreshing and nice. I would definitely come back if I had a layover in this terminal. A perfect start to the Holiday week! read more

BBQ spot located in the Hartsfield-Jackson International airport, concourse D. As much as I'm in the airport (2-3x a week) I was really hoping to like this spot. The customer service was average at best. The staff seemed as though they don't want to be there and not really interested in serving you. The food, well it's BBQ. Not horrible, but not great. I had ribs which tasted like it was previous cooked the day before and warmed up. Almost if they were baked or boiled. They definitely weren't seasoned and had no grilled flavor. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this establishment...Btw, I sat at the bar... read more

While waiting for our connecting flight my husband and I stumbled upon Mustard Seed BBQ in Terminal D. Had the Southern Cobb Salad with brisket and it was delicious!! My husband had the BBQ Nachos with brisket and really enjoyed it. The server Lauren is super friendly and doing her best seeing as they appear to be short staffed right now. The restaurant is clean and the seating is comfortable. Bummed we didn't get to try the deviled eggs. Maybe they will have them when we make our way back to San Diego read more

I get drinks here at the ATL airport. But they seem to always be out of certain food options. I have never had the food but it looks great. Service is meh. They don't really care if you're there or not, they will make money. You can usually find a spot at the bar. Which is great! But then you will wait on the bartender who is not particularly "fast". It serves a purpose I suppose. read more

Excellent BBQ and decent sides for a reasonable price. In Concouse D you don't have much choice, but I would choose this again.

I visited on 8 Sept on a layover to see family in Virginia. I generally prefer family-owned restaurants because you can taste the care and love they put in the food (admittedly, not always). Chains tend to taste a lot alike and very much like Sysco-supplied ingredients. I did not have high expectations of Airport Food in any case. Early in the dinner hour, they were already out of salads, deviled eggs, and the pickle plate. I ordered the two-meat plate (ribs and brisket) with two sides of green beans (other sides included carbs and cole slaw). The ribs were disappointing, even with my low expectations. The portion was larger than I expected on a combo plate, but it was an end piece: half was virtually jerky meat. The tender bits were nice. The brisket was juicy and tender, but lacked a smoky or beefy flavor. There was no pull in the texture of the meat. I'm from Texas and you can't fool me with no beef brisket. This came from an oven. The sauce was served properly: on the side! But, it was cold, which means you can taste it only well enough to know it is BBQ sauce, but not well enough to appreciate the flavors. It could have been bottled sauce for all I could taste. The braised green beans were very tender with good flavor, but the bacon pieces were identical to one another, meaning they were processed bits rather than honest bacon. The service was tired: one waitress for all the tables, explaining the same menu choices over and over and over again in a high-turnover environment. Ugh. But she also gave what she got. Busy, distracted travellers got prompt but lackluster service. Cheerful, present people got more attention and smiles. Think about giving your server a break and be the type of customer that you'd want to serve. read more

After finding the ordering kiosk disabled, then waiting 10 minutes as the bartender ignored me, she finally asked, "Are you trying to make a to go order?" Yes. "We're not doing to go orders right now." How will I ever know, before wasting my time getting ignored, if they're doing to go orders??? It's an airport. If you don't have the resources to run a restaurant properly, let someone else who will. read more

During a layover, dropped in at the Mustard Seed for something to eat. It's located in Concourse D and directly across of Gate 26. Approaching the restaurant, a "BBQ" sign catches your attention so as a fellow smoker of meats, wanted to try their food. Angela was the only server working at the time. I had that feeling "are you really gonna eat here?!" based on her lack of a greeting, smile, or acknowledging my existence when I was standing 6 feet away at the bar. I grabbed a menu that was on the bar and she came over to take my order which was the brisket sandwich with a side of potato salad and a Diet Pepsi. The order arrived in about 3 minutes which was great. Took off the top bun and saw about 5 thin, broken up slices of what I believe was brisket. I tried it and it was tender but wasn't very flavorful, just okay. The potato salad was a single scoop on the side, which I enjoyed. The soda had no carbonation at all and tasted more like root beer as opposed to the Diet Pepsi I ordered. Finished the meal and left both buns uneaten...just cutting back on bread. Soda was left 3/4's full and sat back, waiting for the check. After about 15 minutes passed and Angela was still periodically serving others and then returning to look at her mobile device. I finally got her attention by raising my credit card above my head and she brought the check. Not sure what was going on but have a feeling what it was and will leave it at that. The bar appeared to be popular and many others were having something to eat. The place became crowded after I left. (I did shower before my flight, lol) I can understand if the service is below standard and the food makes up for it or vice versa. In the case of the Mustard Seed, I was disappointed on both. Maybe others will disagree so you'll have to try it out yourself. Unfortunately, I cannot give a favorable recommendation. read more
