Pretty good considering the total lack of options at this terminal. Ham and cheese burrito was very good. I was happy with so few food choices at this terminal to find a place that cooked food fresh. The staff was almost overly friendly but we had a good breakfast and overall we were happy. Warning though they only have turkey bacon so my wife's bacon egg and cheese was good except for the crappy flavorless bacon. They did not inform us ahead of time that they only have turkey bacon.
WOW – $19 for a sandwich, chips and a drink. I think I've been robbed!
I tried the NY Ruben. It was a nice portion, but a bit messy – not worth $11
Their 'fries' are weird. Nothing like what the menu shows – basically hunks of potato that are baked instead of fried.
The Au Bon Pain down the terminal was less money, and had way better looking food, or even across from there.
The name is as generic as the fare they offer, but if you're eating here it's not like you really have a choice. You're stuck in this terminal, and as far as airport food goes, you could do a lot worse.
I wanted a bacon egg and cheese, and my wife wanted a Greek omelette.
So obviously, I can't tell you a thing about the bacon egg and cheese. The Greek omelette had no feta to speak of, but on the bright side it was actually cooked to order by the nice folk who run this place, and I'm happy we got upsold for spinach.
Seriously, you could do a lot worse. Like the Sbarro's knockoff across the moving walkway.
Don't let the name fool you. This place is NOT in Brooklyn, it is at the airport. There are no seats here, but there are a couple very narrow counters you can set your stuff down on.
Don't know if its 5 star worthy, but it was relatively quick and tasty. When you can easily waste $9 bucks on some pre-wrapped junk in other spots this sandwich came out hot and fresh. Good portions on the meat and flavored well. Might get better if had some seating, but hey it's airport turn around and the airports full of them. Also just a personal thing, never like it when they put a tip line on credit receipts when there little to no service beyond taking my order.
It's airport food. What are you expecting? Definitely not a Deli. And this place would not get any business if it was in Brooklyn. But this terminal is absolutely dry when it comes to options in food, so you're probably gonna end up here.
I appreciate that the service staff called me 'Miss', but I also noticed that this is pretty common among service staff in the US. Veg sandwich was meh, small, dry, and overpriced. This did not surprise me.
No place to sit so had to take it back to the gate.
I was leaving NYC and didn't have time to eat before I got to the airport, so I walked around the terminal to find something to eat. The menu looked somewhat healthy, the reviews were good, so I decided to give it a try. I ordered a veggie omelet and it came with potatoes and toast. They used canned mushrooms, which I am not a fan of. I wasn't impressed and didn't even finish my omelet. The toast was a little over toasted – a bit burnt. The potatoes were alright, so I ate them because I was hungry, but that defeated the purpose of trying to eat healthy. I would not go to this place again.
I ordered a veggie omelette and there was a huge piece of bacon in it. NOT COOL. I very much dislike bacon, so I was grossed out, and no telling what would've happened if I were a vegetarian! They need to be more careful.
Besides that, the omelette was tasteless and definitely not worth $10. My friend got a sandwich and said it was okay. I recommend looking elsewhere if you're at JFK.
