    Delicious burger and fries. I was going to try that wrap place, but they didn't appear to staff it so I had to go here since it's kinda the only other place to get a good meal. And it turned out to be great. At first I didn't want to there because I don't want to eat at a sit down restaurant, but it turns out you can just order takeout. The server Andrea had a good attitude and was kind to the customer before me. He brought out the food to me where you can sit on the red chairs across. If you are looking for a good meal in terminal 1, just go here. Because to even go to terminal 2, you would have to go thru security again. But would recommend it! Food tastes great! Also came with ketchup packets

    Came here for the first time on a whim. By far the fastest and friendliest airport food/drink experience I've ever had, and I fly a lot! Danielle at the bar was great, and the manager checked in on us twice, just because. We didn't need help, he just checked in! This is the spot to be at terminal 1.

    The food was excellent, but the absolute best part of the meal was the service provided by Imani. She was not only attentive, but professional and warm in her service. She ensures that all of my needs and those of my fellow traveler needed. She did not do this with us alone, but at each table that she served. She is truly an asset to the business and deserves a great level of compensation for what she brings to the restaurant. All of the staff were welcoming and professional, but Imani stood out amongst her peers and coworkers.

    Very nice staff. The host that charged me for takeout 3/9/24 was beyond attentive. Tried to guess my needs such as offering a cup of water while I waited for my takeout. I ordered the Damn Delicious and the croissant was very buttery and flaky. Gravy was thick and flavorful with enough bits of meat. The food was put on top of a wax liner and not directly on the plastic. This is a very subtle but important detail for me as microplastics and phthalates leach into food when there is heat involved.
