This place is actually not that bad for an airport.
Wanting to get something full and hearty before boarding our plane and not wanting to spend much, we just happened to find this place.
I am a Sammy Fan to begin with so, it was a good start with me : )
We were greeted by a very friendly server and seated promptly.
They have a nice basic selection of american/mexican cuisine, with a little edge to it that all seemed to be reasonably priced.
I ordered the foot long hot dog and a bowl of there chili. My babe ordered a plate of chips and guacamole.
It arrived with in a reasonable amount of time, presented pretty tasty looking. My hot dog was good( did not eat the bun) but the dog was good.It came with these fried chips that were extremely tasty, which I had to stop my self at one point from eating all of them : ) My chili was tasty however, a little too much on the greasy side. I also did try a few chips and guacamole that my bf ordered and certainly was not crazy about the guacamole, tasted just a little too cheap and processed for me.
Overall, the atmosphere was nice and spacious, the service we received was extremely attentive and friendly and the food was decent enough to pay a visit again while at the airport
Avoid if you can. Spend the extra money on a different place or just get something to go.
Sat at the bar because I was at the airport a few hours before my international flight. Service was excruciatingly slow. Bartender was closing up the bill of the people next to me, but failed to give me a menu or anything for a while. Had to ask for one.
Order the chicken tenders because there was literally nothing else that looked appetizing. Regrets for picking this place.
My gate was right next to this place and since I hate airplane food we stopped here to grab something to eat and of course a couple of drinks. I got the chicken fingers since I wasn't super hungry and a glass of wine. The food is decent and usually I don't expect much from an airport restaurant. The bartender/waiter was nice and came around often enough for us not to miss our flight.
I was stranded in NJ over the holidays (yelp.com/biz_photos/HjYA…) and my Newark to SFO flight was rescheduled to JFK to LAX to San Jose a couple days later. Once at JFK I found that my 747 had a flat tire and United was "borrowing" one from British Airways so it was going to be a couple hour delay. Great. That's when I spotted Sammy's.
I didn't put two and two together until I saw the signs pushing Cabo Wabo tequila that "Sammy" = Sammy Hagar.
"Sammy's Beach Bar & Grill serves American fare with an island twist featuring a menu that is the result of recipes and advice that Hagar has received from some of his favorite friends and celebrated chefs across America."
Wings & other apps, salads, nachos, sandos, burgers. With the recent blizzard I was told they hadn't received regular deliveries in a few days so much of the menu wasn't available except a few sandwiches and a fruit plate. Cuban sandwich? Sign me up. Oh, and Fat Tire on draft? Extra large size please!
The sandwich came out on a plate with corn chips (yelp.com/biz_photos/HjYA…). It wasn't pressed like a traditional Cuban and looked like it had been oven toasted and then re-opened for pickle insertion.
Taste was OK with the roast pork a little dry and pretty heavy on the mustard. I was expecting the baguette to be a bit stale from their comment on supply delivery, but it tasted pretty good. I guess I should have been thankful to get anything decent with the 3-4 ft snow drifts we drove by getting to the airport.
3 stars for the food. Good people watching too.
Hagar donates the profits from his restaurants to local charities (isn't it nice being rich?). Bonus star for that.
