As good as any other Bobby Vans you would go to in the city. Big restaurant with tons of seating in the back. Very good wait staff. Food was decent and it's priced the same as the other BV's.
They have very good sangria. But they didn't have my favorite…Chilen seabass.
This is the first restaurant you see once you've have gone through Terminal 8 security at JFK.
What you really want is a solid spot to eat, charge your phone and maybe watch some TV – and this place gives you all that, although it is certainly not fine dining.
The menu is typical American (steaks, pizza, Tex Mex), the portion sizes are ridiculous (the chicken quesadilla appetiser that I ordered could have easily been an entree and the service is reasonable). My friend ordered chilli nachos and he barely ate half of it before giving up.
The only downside really is that it is overpriced for the quality (but it is in the airport, so that's to be expected). The quality is pretty standard but nothing you'd write home about. It's good solid food for an airport.
Disappointed in all of it. You want the NY steakhouse experience but the service is lacking, very slow and didn't ever follow up after the food was delivered. The food could've made up for all of that but the meatloaf was bland, mashed potatoes were reheated, and don't even both with the creamed spinach. At least the second glass of wine was decent. On to the next, I say!
I really wish I went for a steak over the chicken wrap. While my food was pretty good, the service was impeccable and I almost forgot I was in an airport restaurant. The hostess was sweet and hospitable. My waiter was kind and polite and even kept tabs on when I had to board so I got my check in time. I was thoroughly impressed. Would love to go back next time I have time to spare at JFK.
Went here on my layover between New York and Helsinki. I loved the idea of it. For some reason this other executive dude came in well after me and had his order taken, and was served his food way before me. Weird lack of urgency for getting your food to you, given you're at an airport. I asked many times (5 x's). Took 30+ min to get my turkey burger. The condiments were good but I had to beg for them. So much potential!
Breakfast while waiting on a flight to Cancun – ow ow! It was actually a pretty nice set-up for an airport restaurant. The prices were totally ridic and way inflated, however, that's to be expected.
Service was very fast and the turnaround was speedy as well. A well-oiled machine, I'm sure, given that they are always trying to get people fed and onto flights.
I had a breakfast burrito and it was pretty good. A little bit of heat, though I could've done with more. I ate 3/4 of it before I was overly full.
The coffee is good, but not hot enough. Once I added the creamer, it could barely qualify as luke-warm.
Perfect place for a quick bite.
Curious color of the seared tuna. The sesame seared tuna portion was small and not the most appetizing in appearance , however, the taste was good. There was no actual sesame on the sesame tuna lol. It looked like it had been sitting out , as did the wasabi. The sauce it came with was canned chicken broth. The best part was the asparagus side. Strange outfit of the staff – looks janitorial. Not sure what they were going for with the oversized, super starched, industrial-tan color attire on the serving staff. It is a perfect example of uniforms gone wrong. I'm looking at them as I write this and still can't understand. I was seated right away, the server was very polite and helpful, and the wait time was average for the food. Price was too high for the quality. Not much choice in this terminal , however , so I'm not sure these reviews really make a difference. Next time I may go for a cold chicken cadaver salad at the nearby stand as it would be of the same level of culinary satisfaction .
After a long flight from LAX-JFK, we were starving and opted to grab a bite here.
What's great about this place is there's a back dining room where its much more quiet.
Service is quick; they are use to it with everyone catching flights.
We started with a couple of glasses of wine (they have a good selection by the glass).
Food:
Mozzarella & Tomato: Average
Sirloin Sliders w/gorgonzola: Good
A good option if at the American terminal at JFK.
