Steak side
Cindy C.

Located inside terminal 4. If you have time for a meal, Chelsea's kitchen is a solid option. Service was excellent and fast. We tried their kale and quinoa salad with steak. Dressing was delicious and steak tender. The chips with guacamole were perfect and satisfying. Portion was big as well. Highly recommend if you need a good meal at sky harbor airport.

Rotisserie Chicken double veggies, no mash. Surprisingly excellent!
Kevin S.

One of the better airport restaurants I've been too. A nice respite outside of the awful usual airport food options. I had the rotisserie chicken which was as good as any rotisserie at any restaurant I've had. The veggies were fresh and sautéed well with way too much garlic. My wife had the steak tacos which was an ample portion with a fatty stack of corn tortilla's, guac, pico and a fresh kale, quinoa and grape salad. Solid. I would 100% look for Chelsea kitchen again next time we come through Phoenix airport.

Menu

Stopped in for a quick bite before my flight. Got a soda, Caesar salad and added salmon as my protein. The whole thing was over $30! Captive audience, I suppose. Not enough servers, so had to wait to place my order and really never got my water refilled. Patience is a must. Food was decent and servers are friendly enough. This is one of the few places in the airport where you can sit down for a meal before heading thru security.

Branzino and surf and turf tacos!
Eric B.

Our last night in Phoenix was also our anniversary so we wanted good food and atmosphere. We had both at Chelsea's Kitchen. The service was amazing, and the chef even came to our table with dessert! Super nice folks there. The food was worth it also. My wife had the whole Branzino fish, and I took our servers suggestion on mixing giant shrimp with the steak tacos. Those were the best corn tortillas ever. Anyway, highly recommended!

Soup
Ashley L.

This place was confidently located from where I needed to be in the airport. I wasn't too hungry so I just got fries on one occasion which were $9 which was pretty crazy and another time I got soup which was over priced as well. Wasn't a fan of the soup but I guess I shouldn't have expected much. The avocado in The soup was good though but there was pretty much no chicken in it which was disappointing. Also got what were advertised as mimosas here with me girls and turns out the were small premixed drinks that were overpriced at $20 a piece. And our server was almost non existent. I'd suggest a different option for anyone thinking about it as a first. If you enjoy lots of people around (it IS an airport), then it's okay. Nice crowd.

I've been coming to Chelsea's Kitchen at the phoenix airport for 11 years... it's always been the only airport meal that's not just "fair" but delicious. When I landed this evening, I took the SkyTrain to terminal 4 just to eat here before going to my hotel. The ambiance is nice and the staff is exceptional. Perhaps I ordered the wrong thing, but tonight the food wasn't as amazing as I remembered it to be. I had the short rib tacos, and granted I ate my whole plate and felt satisfied, I don't think they merited the description "award winning" like the menu says. Check out the picture- it doesn't really look like short ribs and the flavor was moderate. Sadly, they also don't have their amazing chocolate chip cookies with sea salt anymore. I still think this is the best airport restaurant I've been to, but perhaps not as exceptional as I once believed. I'll try again and see if this was a one off.

Steak tacos
Tamara E.

This was a food gem right before TSA security that I can't wait to enjoy again! The restaurant was large with plenty of seating options. I sat at the bar and the bartender was friendly and made sure I was taken care of and my food allergies were completely taken care of by the kitchen. To drink, I had the prickly pear margarita. This was addictively good! It was refreshing and well balanced. For my main meal I had the steak tacos. These were suggested by the bartender. I am allergic to onions and the kitchen and bartender made sure that my food didn't come in contact with onions and modified my dish not to include them without loosing flavor. Even though the steak tacos were cooked beautifully and seasoned just right, my favorite part of the dish was the kale slaw. It was so flavorful, complex, and just so delicious. For dessert I had to try the artisan gelato. I had pistachio which was so flavorful and creamy. I will definitely be going out of my way to eat here again.

Brussels sprout salad
Richard W.

Chic airport sit down joint with a variety menu and lots of space. They have a big bar and also a take out space for quick bites. Depending on the time of day, it could be very crowded, but we were seated promptly and it was pretty empty. Service was great, no issues. My brussel sprout salad was absolutely delicious even though the inner child in me couldn't help but go ewwwww brussel sprouts. My dad got the fish tacos. They were the build your own style plate and they looked delicious. We definitely recommend this place if you have some time to kill and want somewhat of a relaxing meal away from the hustle and bustle of the harbor in the sky.

Rotisserie chicken dinner
Preston Z.

The best airport meal I have ever had, and the service was real good too. I had the rotisserie chicken. Check out your picture.

Ethan's Vegetarian Taco platter: guacamole + pico de gallo + sauteed vegetables
Craig G.

Chelsea's Kitchen was a pleasant surprise at Sky Harbor. Landing a couple hours too early to check into my Airbnb and looking for a quick bite to eat, I hopped the air train to Terminal 4 (nothing in Terminal 3 outside of security) and found Chelsea's Kitchen. Offering up a pretty simple menu of American and vaguely Southwestern food, it seems to be a popular spot for travellers in the terminal. I sat down and did an order of Ethan's Vegetarian Tacos: three corn tortillas with guacamole, pico de gallo, kale slaw, and sauteed vegetables. The guac and pico were on point, and better than most I've found in my few trips to Phoenix. The vegetable mix was...perplexing: zucchini, red pepper, mushroom, grapes, and quinoa. Somehow, the flavours worked well together. It's about as pricey as any other sit down fare you'll find at Sky Harbor, but it made for a satisfying lunch

Cheeseburger and fries.
Donn O.

Oasis in the middle of the hustle bustle of the airport. This location does not disappoint. Modern decor, prompt service and the food was on point. We had two burgers and a chicken sandwich with a side of chips and guacamole. Price was little higher than most places but it was expected being at the airport. Burgers were juicy and tasty. Side Caesar was plain but the croutons tasted great.

We later found out the server changed the final amount to $82, which means she gave herself 42% tip, which is ridiculous.

***IF THE BUSINESS ONWER SEE THIS REVIEW, PLEASE REPLY *** So we went to this place on 2025/03/31, the food was not bad, but I have to make a SERIOUS COMPLAINT to a server here!!! This server CHANGED THE TIP AMOUNT after we left! This server ADDED EXTRA $20 to the final amount. It's a really serious thing, there is no difference between changing the tip amount and stealing money from customer's wallet, it's basically crime... We tried to call the restaurant to resolve this issue, but the line was busy and nobody answered the phone, and the voice mail was full so we couldn't leave any message to the managers, which is even more unpleasant. Here I want to tell the business owner, the managers, and other customers that you folks need to be careful with this server's integrity and honesty, this is probably not the first time that she (or maybe someone else in the restaurant) did this secretly behind customers' back. This is really wrong behavior... ***IF THE BUSINESS ONWER SEE THIS REVIEW, PLEASE REPLY ***

Well, it was awesome - seated immediately, even though it was fairly busy and had our table server Izzy quickly there to ask if we wanted water and orders for other drinks - we went with Cider Corps Mango Foxtrot, as we always often do - such a good cider and this is on draught here also. Music was a little loud as many people talking loudly to hear but it wasn't too bad - but noticeable! I ordered the Perfect Grilled Cheese and sweet potato fries, which were so good. The bread was like a fruit bread - actually its a spiced pear bread - which is delicious! The wife got the Chicken Club and sweet potato fries, also stating it was one of the nicest sandwiches she has had in a while. We swapped our sandwich halves to get a taste of each and we both rolled our eyes in delight - both were fresh , very tasty and not over-stuffed, making them easier to eat! We will definitely be back as its a close drive to get here.. Love it!

A bunch of us from my spin class decided to get together for a farewell brunch for one of the gals in my Cycle class. She's a snow bird, coming to Arizona for the cooler months, and was headed home for the summer. I ordered the Bloody Goode Time ($14), shared the Porch Teatime ($45) with the table, and I ordered the Porch's Famous Mac + Cheese ($12, cavatappi pasta, four-cheese blend, with toasted parmesan bread crumbs). I had their Bloody Goode Time at their DT Gilbert location and enjoyed it so much that I got it again. It's a super savory drink that feels like a meal in itself. The Porch Teatime, we had green tea shots instead of Jamesame orange, came in a tiny teapot the server poured out into six tiny tea cups. It was adorable.

We were part of a large group, and the experience never felt chaotic or overlooked. The standout was our server, Kate. She brought a positive energy to the table from the start, was attentive without hovering, and managed a large party with professionalism and genuine warmth. It's easy to recognize when someone takes pride in their work, and Kate clearly does. What earned this review, however, happened after we left. About thirty minutes later, we realized we had accidentally left behind several valuable items, including some with significant sentimental value. When we returned, Kate had already secured them and was waiting to return them to us. Her honesty, initiative, and attention to detail turned what could have been a stressful situation into a lasting impression. Restaurants are remembered for more than their food. Kate's service is the reason we'll be back.

The Service was "electric" for us as we were celebrating a birthday at the table during lunch. It was too Hot for us to do pickleball, but they do have a fully shaded area that had people playing outside ~105 degrees. As for the food, we had the Fish & Chips with a Mahi Mahi Slaw & Fries, the Ahi Poke Tacos which come in Wonton shells. Hot Honey and Sausage Pizza was great. The Barbacoa Nachos had all the right ingredients & the Double Smash Burger had only some "fancy sauce" on the plate. The Tempura Green Bean, can't remember who ordered, but were good with the chipotle ranch sauce. With me, I'm all about the cocktails, so I treated myself to both the Froze Margarita & the Chi Chi. They call them spiked slushes, I call them "heaven sent" during the Arizona Summer. All of the food was a hit for the table and my family understood why I suggested EP for lunch! I said our Server was "electric" and that's because they made our experience very enjoyable. It was appreciated and I will return again for lunch and pickleball (in the evenings) during the hot summer!

We were drinking mimosas, eating, talking, and taking our time, and I really appreciated that we never once felt rushed to leave or pressured to keep ordering. A lot of places start making you feel awkward if you stay too long, but the service here stayed friendly and attentive the entire time we were there. The mimosas were honestly one of my favorite parts because they had so many different fresh juice flavors to choose from instead of just the typical orange juice. It made the experience feel way more fun and customizable, and you could actually taste how fresh the juices were. Every mimosa we tried was refreshing and super easy to drink. The food was also really good and paired perfectly with the drinks. Everything tasted fresh and well-made, and it all came out quickly even though the place was busy. I also loved that they offer both indoor and outdoor seating because it gives the place such a nice vibe depending on what kind of experience you want. We spent a good amount of time just relaxing, enjoying the weather, and hanging out, and it honestly made for such a nice date spot.

My husband and I found this place online, and it looked like a great spot for brunch. When we arrived, there was no one at the hostess stand, and it took quite a while for anyone to acknowledge us. When the hostess finally came over, we asked for a table for two. She immediately told us there was only outdoor seating available and didn't even mention that waiting for an indoor table was an option. Keep in mind, it was 110°F on a Sunday in Arizona. My husband had really been looking forward to trying this place, so we asked what was available and decided to stay. We were seated outside near the entrance. Shortly afterward, we watched the hostess tell other guests who arrived after us that indoor seating was available with only a 5-minute wait. Why wasn't that option offered to us? We absolutely would have waited. Unfortunately, the hostess's attitude and the way the situation was handled completely changed the experience for us. It left us feeling unwelcome, and we weren't able to enjoy our meal the way we had hoped. The food may have been fine, but customer service is a huge part of dining out, and this experience overshadowed everything else. Safe to say, we won't be returning. An unfriendly and dismissive environment is not something I'm interested in supporting.

There is plenty of bar space if you're popping in for a drink.. of course, the actual bar that runs along the shelves of liquor, and there is also a bar on the other side of a roll-up door, perfect for people who come with dogs. There's also a bar space that runs along the window that separates the small dining room and the patio. There are a few tables inside as well as some bigger tables on the patio.

They make their own ranch, and it is good. I will say they don't seem to skim on salad ingredients either - - the Philly salad was covered with shaved beef, and my berry salad had a lot of chicken and tons of blue cheese. The fries were delicious - - slightly seasoned and crispy. This place is clearly dog friendly. In fact the day we went there was a sweet Pitbull named Daisy who literally hopped up on a bar stool and sat there like a little angel the entire time.

It's so pillowy soft and the flaky sea salt perfectly compliments it. I ordered the Wise Decision cocktail, which was refreshing.

I asked the waitress about the chicken and she advised that they are smoked and will appear pink from that, so not to be alarmed, but are moist and really flavorful. While the filet was tempting (and what everyone else at my table ordered), I wanted something lighter. Thankfully I was not disappointed in my selection. The chicken was as delicious as described and could be cut with a fork. The Caesar salad was well dressed, but not soggy. Do I think it was worth the money to add the chicken?
