    Chicken sandwich and cheese fries
    Rob M.

    Airport restaurants have to be graded on a healthy curve. The customer base assuredly ranks among the most miserable in the world. We are stressed, bored, overtired or a combination of all of the above. Add to that, as of this writing, Shake Shack is Terminal 8's only option for hot food after 9 pm. So in the evenings, the line to order looks like the line to vote in a southern state. Nonetheless, the Terminal 8 Shake Shack delivers. It's kind of the only option but the lack of competition has not hurt the quality. Despite intense demand, it cranks out meals at very respectable pace. The service maintains cheerfulness and the food is consistently delicious on the level of the non-airport locations. Still, I have to account for the pricing. A chicken sandwich with cheese fries, a large soda and a bottle of water costs $34 bucks. I know airport food implies hyperinflation like a dictatorship announcing a new currency named after the autocrat's mother. But still. In any event, if you can stomach the price, you can certainly stomach the food.

    This Shake Shack location is on Terminal 8 at JFK. Bonus points for convenience as you can order via kiosk, app, or on person. However, the staff are not super friendly and sometimes seem a little inconvenienced if you ask for something like a cup of water. The burgers are very flavorful. My friend ordered a bacon avocado burger and the avocado was VERY fresh and plentiful. The bacon was a little soft, but on the whole the burger was very tasty. I ordered the Chicken Shack crispy chicken sandwich. It was very crispy, but somewhat bland. Both sandwiches were a little dry but there are packets of mayo, mustard, and Tabasco as well as a ketchup dispenser in the order pickup area, so we used those. We shared an order of fries. They are crinkle cut fries and I didn't have the option to ask for extra crispy via the kiosk, so ordered as is. They were not very crispy and needed salt, which is also available in packets. All in all, it was fine for airport food.

    Was extremely excited that Shake Shake has a location in Terminal 8 of JFK Airport. I've been to another location many times at T4, but now that my work trips departure and arrivals are in T8 instead, I can still have a nice meal on my flight heading back home. The queue to get in is short and fast. The restaurant is more welcoming for dine in with many tables available. When entering customers can grab their drinks from the refrigerator first, then order your food from the self service kiosks. As an airport employee, I followed all the TSA Agents as they waited for a live person to take your order instead of using a kiosk. The self service kiosk doesn't have an option to enter your employee number for airport discount. What l ordered was a double shack cheeseburger and french fries. It only took about 5 minutes for my order to come out. Breakfast is also available for here and to go. You can also get your alcohol fix first thing in the morning! My food was delicious and I was able to eat in peace and quiet! Don't forget to take ketchup to go right at the counter.

    Crispy, hot fries and juicy, flavorful burgers. Love that you can add pickles and onions onto the ShackBurger. Lots of seating right next to the establishment. An excellent lunch before a departing flight at JFK.

    This might honestly be the only highlight in Terminal 8. Shake Shack is definitely overpriced at the airport and they tack on extra charges. The food was just okay and it took way too long to come out. :/

    at JFK, terminal 8 This is the best place to get something to eat reasonable price for airport. open early in the morning. Service is quick.. this chicken shack, and a breakfast sandwich taste good. And panty sitting area.

    Tomatoes and onions thrown in a separate bag since staff didn't want to assemble the food.

    DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU HAVE FOOD ALLERGIES AND NEED EVEN MINOR ADJUSTMENTS. Partner is allergic to eggs and dairy so we opted to remove crispy onions from burger at the kiosk and mentioned it to the cashier for good measure. Then they kept calling my order by the wrong name so it took a while for me to realize it was ready. Burger still came with with the allergens - which sure, I've worked in food before and things fall through sometimes. When we asked to remove them the staff got upset. Boarding time came due to the waiting, so I followed up which made them upset again . Burger came without ANY of the vegetables this time, so when I pointed it out guess what they did - they grabbed tomatoes and onions, put it in a pouch, and threw it in our bag for us to assemble. All without saying a word. 0/5. Don't waste your time and go somewhere else instead. TLDR: Partner allergic to eggs and dairy, asked to remove allergens, staff got upset, made the food wrong twice which made us late to our boarding time, gave us the ingredients separately for us to assemble food ourselves.

    Crossing off finally from my Queens popular place list to visit . Multiple attempts to come here…read moreand finally find the right time. This classic and favorite dessert spot still has its magic. When we arrived, there was a line on both sides- to sit down and the to go order. Since today is our first visit here but not our friends, we patiently waited for our turn to get a table. Corner table is not bad. We picked one of their best selling items- banana split, 2 scoops of ice cream. Comes with free whipped cream , choice of syrup, rainbow sprinkles a cherry. Extra charge for any added item like any toppings. Price is reasonable for the serving size, it can be shared. The server is ready to give extra cutlery. A glass of water should be asked, not automatically given. There is nothing extraordinary for the taste of the ice cream except the fact that all flavors are home made. The 1930's decors, classic kitchen gadgets, existing old style but refurbished furniture's , is selling popular candies in early 30's and original atm machines version still working are things that make this place extraordinary , an additional things to look forward to and keeping customers coming back. A monopoly Queen's edition board game puts a smile on my face when I find out that they are selling it for a good fee and includes a $20 gift card with it. Right away purchased it. Definitely coming back to try their other popular and hot items. By the way when we are about to leave, there was a long line waiting for seats.

There's usually a line of some length during peak hours and especially around the holidays. You can tell by the sheer volume of baked goods and cakes available in their window displays that they sell a lot daily. This location is on the main drag of the little downtown section of Forest Hills, the baked goods in the front window display connect to a tall and long glass counter along the left side of the store that extends almost to the back. At the back middle and along the right side of the wall there's seating for about two dozen people at small cafe tables. They carry an assortment of traditional cakes (full and sliced), pies, cookies, pastries, cheesecakes, cupcakes, ice cream and coffee/tea drinks. A wide variety of flavors in each, so you're bound to find something sweet to satisfy most here. They are a classic bakery so from what I can tell, they don't carry items that are gluten, dairy or nut free. I've purchased their apple pie, fruit tart, berry napoleon, red velvet and chocolate fudge cakes from this or other locations in the past and they're all solid choices for desserts to share with a larger group, though I find a lot of their cake options to be on the richer side. My most recent encounter with their cakes came in the form of a slice of their seven layer cake $9.95 which is thin layers of yellow cake alternating with chocolate cream mmm pretty tasty, and their caramel cake $9.95 which had a layer of chocolate cake in the middle, sandwiched by caramel cream and white cake on either side. The latter had a pronounced caramel flavor that was enjoyable though a bit too much cream for me. My preference would be for their chocolate cakes over other cake flavors here. Their apple pie is one of my favorite apple pies anywhere tho!

These crepes were thin and crispy on the edges. The strawberry, chocolate truffles, and matcha paired so well together, and the crepes were stuffed. I also tried the Chicken Teriyaki Crepe, which was filled to the brim with spinach, corn, red onion, eggs, and chicken. There was a proportionate ratio of veggies to protein. The taste was somewhat nostalgic and reminded me of the sandwiches I used to get at a Chinese bakery. I tried the Strawberry Cucumber Iced Tea with lychee jelly, which was very refreshing and reminded me of a spa. There is a bit of a wait for your food and drinks after you place your order, but it's not an unreasonable wait. This was my first time trying T-Swirl, and I was really surprised and impressed. This creperie is located in a corner and is pretty dim, but there's a few tables and chairs inside.

Out of all the flavors I've tried here so far, nothing beats the rose milk tea. I also like the Thai milk tea but it doesn't beat the rose. The main problem I have with their milk teas is that every time I ask for less syrup (25,50%), I get no syrup. It's either full syrup or no syrup, which means too sweet or no sweetener. With the exception of the brown sugar milk tea, which had a clump of sugar syrup on the bottom, the rest of the times I asked for less syrup, I got none. I didn't realize the sugar syrup was clumped together at the bottom of the cup for the brown sugar milk tea. The 1st sip was extremely sweet since all the syrup came up. The rest of the drink was devoid of sweetener. I've tried the following milk teas recently: black sesame, jasmine, & brown sugar. I didn't like any of these because of the lack of sweetener. Anyway, learned my lesson not to ask for less sweet drinks here. I also noticed something weird when I went a few months ago. The employee had her phone stuck out from under the employee side pointed towards us. Seemed like she was recording. Weird. Anyway, the OD ( Thai tea) toast was sadly a bit too burnt for me that day. When I went again this week, the OD toast was on point. I always get Thai tea filling cream since I've learned from the 1st time that I got the mixed, the pandan has no flavor whatsoever.
