However there is one waiter/bartender who seems completely oblivious. A friend and I visited the lounge for lunch/afternoon snacks. Yes, it was busy but he was simply inattentive.

This was the closest dining establishment that served alcohol by our gate, so we stopped by. It is pretty small and cramped, but we managed to find two seats along the window facing the planes. It was hard to fit in the area as people tend to put bags on seats, etc. Plus the walkway to the kitchen is right there so you feel like you are in the way. Food wise, I liked my salad. Could have done without the chips as I really just wanted greens, veggies, and protein. For $26, it was obviously on the smaller side, but hey, it's an airport resto. My drink was all right. Kinda weak in the liquor and spice department, but fine for sipping. My friend seemed to enjoy his food and cocktail. I wish there were more options in this area of the airport. But this will do if I want a drink. REVIEW #4023

They have all sorts of worn out seating which hey, at least you will find a chair... but the set up is just very frumpy. They have food, but it wasn't very good. At least you can make yourself a little salad or something. They have a bar which is nice, and various wines. So that's always nice. But by the time I had made it to this lounge I wasn't in the party mood... big long story but JFK is not my favorite airport. We were flying to Frankfurt business class on Condor and so the lounge experience pretty much set the tone for the first flight. Basically we were happy to have it and it's better than the normal, but you aren't going to go bragging They do have a bathroom in the lounge, so there is that.

Overall: 1 star This…read morelounge is really sad because it looks as worn down and neglected as the terminal itself, Terminal 7 at JFK. While the entrance is bright and inviting, the inside is dull and somber; the bathroom does not have proper lighting nor a container for the paper towels so it looks like one of an abandoned warehouse. The food options consisted of a salad, instant miso soup, a protein, a starch, and a cooked greens, which does hit all the food groups but is not one that I would seek to spend my time at the airport prior. The drink option was more inviting though, from fresh fruit juices to a reasonable spirit, wine, and beer selection. The space is really cramped with lots of people, which is strange because some areas are partially blocked off, and the access to this lounge is severely restrictive to block out credit card access. Therefore, this is unfortunately a lounge that is not worth it at all. Food: -1 Drinks: +1 Access: -1 Atmosphere: -1 Service: E Amenities: -1 Insta/Beli/Yelp/TikTok: @amei_eats

As soon as I sat down at a table staff came over and asked if I'd like any drinks to start. When I mentioned cucumber seltzer they brought it out with a glass of ice right away. Their venison burger was tasty and filling with fresh tomato, lettuce, cheese, pickles and a brioche bun. The fries that came with it were the chunky kind and more wedge-like, not very crispy, though I was hungry and polished off about half of them with ketchup. Duck tostada was a nice (several) bite(s), a little muddled in flavor though ingredients were fresh and I enjoyed the crispy tortilla crunch. Of course I had to get a dark chocolate pistachio cookie to go too! To correct some misinformation from recent reviews want to mention that this lounge has limited hours for Priority Pass from 5:00am-13:30pm, however full hours are until 23:30pm for balance travelers. Most of my stops here are usually in the afternoon/early evening on weekdays, I haven't seen it very packed, with exception of maybe once or twice. Also haven't tried their breakfast menu so can't comment on that. Will say that after coming here a few years starting to notice some wear on the furniture, perhaps some could use a bit of re-upholstery. Chase and Delta lounges have newer furniture though I'd prefer not to wait in line for entry.

Tips for the " First Class" ( pun intended) passengers, travelers and especially families:…read more 1) The first tip is please do tip all the servers and especially the kind folk who go around with the cart and patiently pick up all of our plates, forks, toothpicks thrown and dangerously spread all over the floor ; glasses & coffee mugs with a smile. 2) I love kids and adore my grands. Please do accompany your children, stay with them and serve them all the amazing Mac n cheese and finger food & desserts with the spatulas/tongs provided thus helping your lovely kids keep their hands clean and not get dirty from grabbing the cannolis, brownies, cookies and the jar with the M & M's. Hey parents, why not start by not picking the carrots and celery with your dirty freakin' hands when the fork/tongs are right there. This is " First Class". 3) This is a privilege and a beautiful earned perk by us who either pay top $$$$ or are George Clooney esque Million( multiple) mile club members ( movie " Up in the Air", 2009 w Vera Farmiga & Anna Kendrick ) and frequent flyers. It is an honor and very deeply appreciated. The tone of these last couple of hundred words in no way reflects the amazing, fantastic, spotless, convenient and warm welcoming environment and conditions in the American Airlines Flagship First Class Lounge in Terminal 8 of JFK airport in New York. What we always, always receive and get are- a) beautiful smiles and welcomes from the check in desk staff who are so proactive. They make an effort to pronounce your name properly. Rare! b) access to great, hot showers in big suites with a dental and shaving kit. ( all free). c) contact with some amazing folks who selflessly and tirelessly clean up and keep the buffets full every few minutes. d) a secret menu including sushi ( oops no longer a secret) , not just the bar menu with hot pretzels and paninis. Healthy choices - salads, fresh veggies, hummus, olives. e) immaculate restrooms with top notch soaps and hand creams. f) choice of really comfortable sofas in a very large area where one can nap and relax. g) a kids room with a lot to occupy and interest them. h) a kids menu i) dozens of outlets and sockets( all working ) to plug in the I phone which is at 37 percent power. j) a stadium like seating room with a biiiiig screen tv and seats with cup holders. k) fresh finger food - tea sandwiches, assorted cheese and grapes coming out every 15-20 minutes. l) love and kindness from great employees like Satti ( 5/8/25) and Abigail ( 4/15/25) who exude warmth and service. Amazing folks. m) dedicated personnel who jump to rebook and reroute you in the event of a long flight delay or cancellation. n) peace and quiet that sets the tone before that 14 hour hop to Tokyo or the sept heures to Paris. I love America(n) Airlines and the lounge and the staff here make that bond even stronger and for life.

The one saving grace of this place is the bartender -i can't recall her name, perhaps Micheline or…read moreMichaela. She is such a warm, friendly and attentive person and deserves a raise. I cannot say the same for another bartender with red hair and a bun who was super rude, and ignored me and all other customers many times.

I know there's a labor shortage but i just felt it was so unfair that one woman was working so hard while two others did nothing! Also the food and drinks in this place are not even close to being worth $19-$20 for cocktails and $65 for steaks.

The restaurants here (Bobby Van's included) are not representative of the amazing culinary scene of NYC and it's really quite a shame. My wife (originally from Queens) and I came through JFK on a recent trip to Europe and needed to grab dinner before our flight. We ended up eating at Bobby Van's and it definitely could have been better. The service was very, very slow and thankfully we had plenty of time before our flight. We ordered two turkey clubs and the sandwiched themselves were pretty good overall, but the fries were greasy and not appetizing. The prices were very, very high too (even for an airport) and it was not justified given the poor service. JFK needs better food options in Terminal 8.
