| - I definitely like the concept much more than the final execution, but all in all, it ain't bad. I mean, I'll take this over airport fast food any day of the week, and you can eat a lot of worse things while you're trekking across the country.
Airport dining is a unique beast. You have all kinds of timing issues that usually don't apply. Either you have a really pressed schedule, or the opposite -- you've been delayed and have all kinds of time to kill. I think the previous is more apt to happen, so you've got to cater to the now now now crowed. Mission accomplished, at least in my case. There was a line when I rolled up, but I was seated quite quickly at the bar. It was alarmingly fast, the amount of time that passed between me submitting an order and the time it came out.
I had chicken sliders, which I'll discuss in a second. But they were lightning fast. The dude behind the bar where I sat was super cool and very on top of taking care of everyone. He was pouring drinks and delivering food and checks and had it really dialed in. YMMV.
It's a small space, open to the rest of the airport, so there's not much escape from the bustle of travelers. I sat at the bar which is the buffer zone, so I had to keep a close eye on my carry one and things were a bit cramped.
And those sliders? Well, they're more like two chicken fingers masquerading as sliders. They came on a bun with slaw and that was fine. Just.. fine. The fries weren't super fresh out of the fryer, and it was plated competently. These are the tradeoffs you make--extra speed means simple, pre-prepared food that comes out quick.
Again, the concept of some kind of urban street eats served up for hungry travelers is nice, but in execution you just sorta order some bar food. But if you need a drink (a beer, perhaps?) this will do the trick. Beer and bar food in an airport.
