| - Located in Terminal D. I had a long layover and needed a bite to eat. I figured that Gorden Biersch was a 'chain' and that you couldn't go too wrong with a chain in an airport versus a local establishment making a second location. Boy was I wrong.
Walked in after the lunch rush and sat at a table after some hesitation. No one greeted me, even with the bartender standing 10 feet away. I sat and a waitress came over asking if I wanted something to drink. I asked if the iced tea was fountain or brewed and she replied it was fountain. Nestea. I scrunched up my nose. She insisted it was good and she liked it. Knowing what fountain iced tea tastes like and that I do not like it at all should have been my first clue - that she didn't know what she was talking about. I ordered a diet soda, which happened to be Pepsi (no Coke products).
I hemmed and hawed at the menu, looking for something lighter. The soup of the day was Tuscan 3-Bean, which again the waitress said was good. Didn't move me so I ordered the turkey club wrap. She said it came with cole slaw or did I want fries. "How is the coleslaw?" "It's good, I like it". Bingo. Should have listened to my gut and changed the order.
The coleslaw was the most non-tasting bland slaw I've every had. It needed salt or pepper or SOME kind of "exotic" spice. Looked like coleslaw but tasted like nothing.
The turkey club wrap was just as bad. Very dry as they toasted the spinach wrap and didn't put anything on it. Lunchmeat turkey, not fully cooked bacon, chopped red onion, lettuce, tomato and shredded cheddar cheese. I asked three times before I got a side of mayo for it. And something in the wrap was "off", I just couldn't put my taste buds on it.
I was extremely disappointed with my food. I eat in airports a lot and don't have a high bar for airport food, but this place was waaayyy underneath. The service wasn't all that great either between not having an opinion, not being responsive and the bartender not helping and just standing around checking her phone the whole time.
$13 and change for the wrap, soda, and tax.
Keep walking a bit down the terminal and there is a Subway.
