Didn’t have high expectations since it’s an airport, but absolutely nothing was bad, wrong not even mediocre. Can’t wait to come back!

My wife and I had a pretty decent meal here today; our server was friendly and helpful in explaining how the sandwiches were served and what they came with. We both ordered cheeseburgers, and they were not bad, but they weren't anything to write home about. The waffle fries were good but lacked seasoning. Overall, as an airport eatery, I would 100% eat here over any chain establishment in the main concourse. If I had to compare it to anything, I would say it reminds me of an Applebee's, but with pool tables.
