I honestly wandered into this place by accident while hunting for food and a quiet-ish spot to get some work done before my flight. You know... airport survival mode. And somehow, I ended up at Margaritaville, which immediately made me question all of my professional self-control. First of all, this is an excellent place to eat while watching planes take off. Something about sipping water and pretending to work while jets casually lift off outside the window feels very main-character energy. Obviously, it's Margaritaville, and yes, the margaritas were calling my name loudly. Unfortunately, I had a job to do and a plane to catch, so I made the very adult decision to stay sober. Tragic, but responsible. Foodwise, I started with fries because... who doesn't order fries? That's just basic human behavior. They were hot, crispy, and exactly what fries should be. I also ordered the blackened chicken Cobb salad, which was surprisingly delicious for airport food, fresh, filling, and not at all sad. Honestly, it felt like a real meal, not something you eat purely out of necessity. And the vibe? If you didn't know you were in an airport, you'd swear you were on a beach somewhere far away from TSA lines and gate changes. They did a great job of creating a relaxed, vacation-y atmosphere that made me temporarily forget I was about to board a plane. Overall, a very happy accident. Great food, great views, and dangerously tempting drinks. Next time, I'm scheduling a longer layover, and ordering the margarita. read more

This is cool! I've never seen an AIR margaritaville. Anyway, I enjoyed a strawberry daiquiri and pina colada mixed. It was a quick sit down and drink. And also the only time I've had the pleasure of experiencing any sort of margaritaville read more

Service was good and engaging, drinks were cold and strong, ambiance was chill and positive! What more could you ask for from an airport terminal bar?! Nothing, that's what! Lol! Didn't try the food but the food delivered around us presented well and smelled good. read more

Fantastic staff. Adilita and Cassie aka "mustard girl" are awesome best in the biz

Pam was great, food was delicious. Did the Caribbean jerk chicken. Early morning stop, quick service.

Good food, reasonable prices, good Bloody Mary...I liked three spicy Views of the runways which was fun read more

Great if you have lots of time before boarding. Definitely laid. Back atmosphere server was super friendly.

I had some time before my flight so I came and grabbed a drink. Honestly, I never order Bloody Marys but I saw another customer drinking one and it looked just like what I needed! Hannah the bartender asked about my preference on spice level and she nailed it. The place is clean and my service was top tier! read more

Best bartenders at the airport. Watch Cassie in action. Impressive! And, the tacos are great.

JADE WAS GREAT!!!! Very attentive, knowledgeable of the menu. Too bad she's on borrowed time from a different restaurant.

Brittany was great! Lots of fun! Very attentive and courteous. Funny stories and gave good recommendations

Oh my gosh! I didn't fully read the menu. These fish tacos were awesome. I didn't realize it was going to be this much food. I don't recall having orange curaçao before, didn't taste any different from the blue one I'm used to. Overall the drink was good. It did what it was supposed to do. Only things I would recommend is that they use a different rice. Some kind of longer grain. It was cooked just the short grain made me question if it was cooked. Don't ask, just my opinion. lol. read more

Great drinks, enjoyed the Hazy IPA, would definitely come back. Service was quick and friendly

Cassie and Adilita were so awesome behind the bar. Very fun, great way to spend a flight delay!!! They will definitely take care of you. The drinks shelled as well! I let Cassie pick my drinks and she did not disappoint. read more

Rude , I sat down to eat at one of their empty 20 tables and was going to order a drink from them and was kicked out because I didn't buy my sandwich from them . read more

Great service from Thomma! Really good food! Perfect little stop while waiting for my flight.

Service was good. Ambiance was cool, it's at the end of an airport terminal so only so much you can do The food was ok at best. Coconut shrimp were dry and lukewarm. There were only 4 and not very big in size. The margarita was the big disappointment. The consistency was that of a blended margarita, not frozen. Bartender claimed it was frozen from a margarita machine...we have a different definition I guess. Plus I couldn't detect much tequila. The meal was definitely not worth the $44 I paid for 4 small/medium coconut shrimp, a handful of fries and a very weak margarita. read more

I ordered an "uptown top shelf margarita" which was so overly sweet (even for a person who doesn't mind sweets) that I could not finish it. It's a one-stop-shop to a hangover. I wasn't given an option for salt or no salt on the rim, so it arrived with a massive amount of salt wrapped around the top. I also ordered fries. The fries were good. Very good, quick and warm. So good in fact, that I was sad when the server took them away without asking and before I was finished. And now I have no way to choke down the rest of my drink. For the sweet, sweet deal of $25.42 + tip. Yep. Nope. Oh yeah, and I ordered a water. But that never arrived. read more

Everything was excellent by Sarah and Jenny the cook the food and drinks thank you I'll be there next time

Tough go here. To think the place that made margaritas famous has disappointing margaritas is just sad as a margarita lover! I had the top shelf margarita. I think the issue is with the mix. I suggest trying the perfect margarita only lime. It has to be better. read more

We left the nearby Lufthansa Senator Lounge to come over here - and we had a great time! Excellent service here and a decent drinks and wine list. The folks eating next to us had a plate of nachos that looked absolutely delicious. Based on other reviews I think your experience may be very server-dependent, but we had a great experience -- especially when compared to the mess of that lounge. read more

Sarah the bartender was great! Friendly, professional, and makes a great Bloody Mar!!

This restaurant has a nice, sunny dining area and live music while waiting for your flight. My server, Nyesha, was attentive and helpful. At my request, she asked the bartender to prepare me a mocktail based on one of the standard cocktail menu options. I also had the lava shrimp appetizer. It was a good-sized portion, but a bit salty. I've had other appetizers here in the past that were less heavy on the salt. Overall, this a pleasant place to get a bite to eat before your flight. read more

I ordered a wine and it was $26.50 ridiculous! Pinot Grigio. They don't list prices and they have prices of everything else but not their wine. I expected to pay a bit more in an airport but that is ridiculous! I won't be back. read more

Superfast...best Paloma ever and quesadilla to go. I will be back, hopefully with more time.

Since Our Flight delayed. Eating and having a Margarita while waiting for departure. The service is very good . Bartender Awesome welcoming, to have a wait time lol. Shontell our server , very Polite and nice timely response and caring for Us. The best Burger ever. Guacamole bacon is the taste for one of a kind Burger. Shout out to " Gina "the Chef at Air margaritaville I give her 5 stars Because I never eat all my food. In a timely matter's and it was delicious . That I finished it all today. I'm glad we stopped here tonight. Merry Christmas . To all. read more

I was in need of drinks and food before heading back to Texas. I had come to MI for my aunt's funeral. I was sad and figured a drink or two would help kill my emotions. I ordered It's 5 o"clock somewhere. I love this drink and always get it when I come to a jimmy buffets. I also ordered the chips and trio plate. I subbed out the queso for a salsa as I can't eat dairy. Overall a nice place to grab and bite and a drink before a flight. read more

Air Margaritaville - Does this kill sadness?? - New American Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

Excellent service. Our plane was delayed, and we had a 4 hour time delay. What a fabulous place to waste time. Our drinks never went empty(even if it was just, eventually, water). There were two servers who circled us at the bar. We never had to go looking for any server. A well run establishment!!! The only food we had were the pretzels and they were ok. We were there on a Monday and there was even live music. If I ever find myself in this wing of the airport again, I will absolutely park my delays here. read more

Great service and amazing drinks! Jade and Erin are absolutely amazing and I will come back just for them! I am very afraid of flying but after being treated so kindly and having a few laughs I feel much better. read more

Amazing service and really good food. Thoroughly enjoyed the wings and experience. Bar tender Jade was incredible. Jade never stopped moving and never had the drinks get low! Thanks Jade! read more

Dining at Air Margaritaville is the very definition of disappointment. The service staff is fine though way way way overwhelmed bc clearly management is cutting corners on staffing/scheduling. The food is "meh" at best. The eggs super greasy, to the point i wonder is maybe they were boiled in oil vs fried. Cant tell you how the toast is bc i didnt get any. I did get a colorful story about how management refuses to fix the toaster oven despite it catching fire twice. No milk/cream for coffee at 9:30am? No problem I can drink it black. But still? How does a restaurant (with a bar) that advertises their breakfast not have enough coffee? Its not like the place was packed. There are a lot of better choices in the terminal. Unless you are a masochist, i suggest giving this place a huge pass! read more

Had the volcano nachos like we do at every margaritaville we visit. The chips were so old and stale. Ordered a mixed drink, watched waitress make it. Very light pour and added sprite to fill glass when drink didn't have sprite as an ingredient. read more

This place is garbage but people will continue to patronize because it's the last place for drinks and food at the end of D gates. Waited 15 minutes at the bar to be acknowledged then watched the bartender serve an obviously very young person with asking for ID. read more

So glad this restaurant was here ... its only the first week. It's beautiful- a great view of palm trees and floor to ceiling windows, variety of cool/ happy music- makes me feel relaxed even though it's gonna be a long flight home. Food: salads, quesadillas, burgers. Able to sub salad for fries. Chicken/ cheese Quesadilla $12.49 was tasty and filling, enjoyed the salsa, sour cream and guacamole. Enough to share. Servers: upbeat, fast moving, and ready to answer questions Ambience: Key West vibe, what else? It's Margaritaville. A well stocked bar, I had a good beer. All tables were full, many with guys enjoying the Wifi and iced tea... causes a bit of a wait for seating & food. Maybe they can build them an "annex" to drink and surf the web. We were glad to find this "newbie" and wish them well! We love the Margaritaville in Key West FL! read more

It's hard to find good food in the airport and let's face it it's all pretty expensive. This location was very accommodating and our waitress was on top of everything. She even pointed out how large the fish and chips was before we made three orders. Although we had our dog in his traveling bag it started to bark and the waitress immediately offered us a bowl of water. The service was quick and precise and I would definitely recommend this place to other travelers. As a bonus there are lots of plugs if you're needing to charge up. read more

Need a quick drink before my flight. Atwater Brewing was at the other end of the terminal (10-15 min walk). Closest to my gate was Air Margaritaville. Gave it a shot. I sat at the bar. Like: 1. The Bloody Mary. Good amount of vodka and was very spicy. Just the way I like it. 2. Service was great. I got my drink quickly and the way I like it. Dislikes: a lot of people left. The ones that sat at the tables. Sad to watch a lot of people leave because service was slow. One bartender and one server just not enough for this morning's early crowd. Just 3 stars for now. If I didn't sit at the bar it would be a lot less. read more

Great bartenders, great beers. My server Zienab was lovely and the beers were just what I needed preflight

Great breakfast. Isaiah was extremely friendly and a great host. Will definitely come back next time we are at the Detroit airport.

This place may look beautiful. But that's it ....customer service and drinks and food are the worst. I am use to bad service and food and I never complain but this place is the worst I would not serve my worst enemy food or drinks that they gave me and the attitude for no reason is crazy please keep Goin an find another place to grab food an drinks. read more
