Jet Blue Food Court is a interesting concept for travellers in the JFK airport. Presented like a typcial food court, travellers line up to order their food by touch screen menu and pay upon exit. For this food experience I went for Philly Cheesesteaks because they offered a variety menu and a shorter wait line.
Typically, in my experience, not many cheesesteaks offer a chicken option which was one of the reasons I selected them. Portion size is HUGE. Definitely can share your sandwich or save for another meal. Cost is about 6$ which is good unless you like lots of toppings which cost more. Overall, good taste and affordable when compared to other eats in this terminal.
In my experience, the best Philly Cheesesteaks come from Philly.
That isn't to say that there are no good Philly Cheesesteaks outside Philly. But having had one of the Philly Cheesesteaks from this place (Philly Cheesesteaks), I think I can definitively say that the best Philly Cheesesteaks do not come from the airport in Queens.
All that said, I appreciate that the extremely rude Philly Cheesesteaks counter guy, when he cut our sandwich in half,* put essentially all the meat on my side. My wife gets all the meat she needs at home, thank you very much. ______________
*Poorly enough that we had to tear the bread and create an enormous mess of my pants.
Rudest customer service. No reason for it. I don't have much more to say than that because I went next door to a more welcoming Cheeburger Cheeburger lady.
My friend ordered onion rings here and said they were soggy and gave him diarrhea.
My fiance and I were starving while waiting for our flight. Poor judgement got the best of us, and we ended up buying 2 philly cheesesteaks from here. Hunger makes you do bad things….
The cheesesteaks were ginormous, and I was not expecting it to have such a large amount of meat and cheese in it (not to mention oil as well). The taste was mediocre, that we ended up only eating half and threw the rest away. An hour later while I was on the plane, my stomach felt weird. Perhaps it was too oily for me.
If I ever come back to Terminal 5 at JFK, I will make sure I won't be getting another cheesesteak from here ever again.
I like the breakfast here, portion are big and it was tasty. I just wanted to get quick meal, and I didn't disappointed at all with the quality. Side potatoes was yummy. And the ordering system through touch screen, it was convenient.
Well I think i should have started by reading the reviews first, but I didnt.
This location is within the JFK airport and is one of several choices from the food vendor area. There are several types off food, burgers, cheese steaks, asian, pizza, etc all grouped together. I felt like I haven't had a good philly cheese steak in a while so i gave the cheese steak place a shot.
The ordering was pretty cool all done by a tablet so that there is nobody else to blame if you key in the wrong order. I opted for the philly chese steak with peppers and for an additional $1 you can get cheese.. you'd think that cheese would be included when you order a cheese steak sandwich.. but who am I to judge. I also ordered fries with my sandwich, besides how bad can fries be?
It appeard to me that the woman that was doing the cooking was frustrated with her job and was just going through the motions. She seemed very aggravated every time someone ask her how to use the ordering device. I understand that some people aren't tech savvy and might need a quick lesson on how the thing works.. It even took me a minute to realize that there were no people taking orders.
Now for the food.. the cheese steak was gross, the beef had no real flavor and was not seasoned well, the grilled peppers really had a strange flavor to them, they were almost sweet and were overcooked and just not good. I could almost wring the sandwich out and fill a shot glass with the grease that came off of it. Ans the fries that seemed like a safe bet… well crap.. they weren't good at all the fryer was just not hot enough and they came out soggy and soaked with oil. I had a few, luckily drowning them in ketchup seemed to offset some of the oil flavor.
The checkout process was easy since all you have to do is give the cashier the ticket that was printed for you when you ordered.. The cashier didnt seem to really give a crap about anything I asked if the ketchup, napkins, etc were outside and she opted to reach for a few packets and handed them to me. she seemed annoyed when i asked for some more,, which it turns out there was ketchup, mustard, forks, knives, etc right outside.
I'll admit my hunger got the best of me, but I ended up throwing away most of my lunch and hoping that it didn't catch up to me half way through a 6 hour flight.. luckily i survived with no incidents.
I made a noob Yelp mistake the other day when I checked the reviews after ordering my food here as opposed to before. Philly Cheesesteaks was a disappointing place to eat, even by fast food standards.
* You have to place your order using a touchscreen. Since there's no human interaction involved, it's tough asking questions or customizing your order outside of preestablished parameters. * You can only order breakfast options during breakfast time. If you can order a beef sandwich with eggs, why can't you order a steak sandwich without eggs? This problem is of course made worse by the aforementioned limited options of the touchscreen. * What bugged me the most was that the meat was overcooked to the point where it didn't really contribute any positive flavor to the meal. The eggs were also disappointing. * The sandwich filling wasn't fully shoved into the bread fold, resulting in the filling popping out and there being an awkward gap in the middle of the sandwich.
On the plus side the mushrooms I added to my sandwich were good, so there's that.
I will not eat here again; I'd rather go to the pizza place a few stores down or alternative (fast food or otherwise) I can find.
Pretty bad…How can you mess up an egg sandwich? It's also self ordering, but the printer was out which meant I had to repeat my order. They also almost forgot one of the sandwhiches I ordered.
