| - So I hear that airport food is never fresh. Not just airplane food, even the food in the airport because of strict regulations and whatnot. So when I arrived at this swanky bar with iPads, I'm thinking: "Here we go, $18 for a dry, mediocre, patty with limp lettuce".
But no! It was $14 for a surprisingly decent burger! I don't know if they've lowered the prices recently, but that's what I paid. That seems on par with some moderate American restaurants in a popular area and it's nice not to break the bank before my trip even began. I built my own burger with caramelized onions and mushrooms and my friend ordered the breakfast burger complete with a very beautiful fried egg and bacon. Our conclusion was that they were both good burgers!
Of course, you can't compare it to other burgers, only to other airport options. The bun was soft, the toppings were fresh, and the beef patty was, gasp, juicy! Even the bacon in the breakfast burger was well done and not chewy dry pork strips. My other friend went with chicken fingers and fries. The fingers were tender and those fries could have been served at a good wing place. Very binge-worthy.
While the food was a surprise hit, the service was a bit of a miss. The staff were friendly and the food arrived in good time, but the tables were filthy. Dirty plates that were next to us weren't taken away until we asked them to, even though people came by to take our order and then again to drop off our drinks. Ah well...it is the airport after all. There has to be disappointment somewhere.
