I cannot believe I am about to say this:
AIRPORT FOOD IS GOOD.
For any of you who eat in airports on a regular basis, you've surely come to accept the fact that airport food just sucks. It doesn't matter how much you spend: the bread is stale or soggy, meats are dry and tasteless, and forget fresh veggies and fruits of any quality.
I was just shocked when I visited the Roadhouse at Sky Harbor recently. I had an hour before my flight so I ordered a Stella Artois and a french dip. I wish I'd had a camera to catch my expression when I bit into my sandwich. The bread was soft and warm. The meat was tender and tasty. The cheese was really good; no joke this was real cheese. And HOT au jus?
OMFG I almost freaked out it was so good! I couldn't wait to tell my server how pleasantly surprised I was. She kinda laughed at me and said they get compliments on their food all the time. AT AN AIRPORT? Folks, this is the best kept secret at Sky Harbor. I will make it a point to go out of my way to eat there in the future, even if my gate is in another termial!!
This place is in the low B gates - try it and you won't regret it!
