My gf and I stopped in to get drinks before our flight! We got champagne and various juices. Our server was very nice and professional! She also brought us everything fast! It's a cute spot! I also love that she gave us our check and let us pay right away! read more

Esquire Grill - Drinks at the airport - American Near Me - Sacramento, California

Located in the Sacramento Airport in Terminal B, this dark brown hue bar and grill serves several menu items. Though designed for a dine in experience, To Go orders are available. At the entrance, wait for the hostess to escort you to your seat. There are booths, bar and table seating. In my travels, I have eaten here a number of times, a few of my favorites are the crispy shrimp tacos, stir fry noodles, ribeye steak sandwich and carrot cake. read more

The staff is kind and friendly, but it's standard overpriced airport food. The bar is open later than other restaurants in the terminal, but the seating area outside closes by about 10ish. They had no drafts on tap when I went which was quite disappointing. read more

Stopped in before our flight for a quick meal, and they delivered! The Brussel sprouts are really good, served with chili crisp, peppers & sesame seeds. Loved the chili crisp & they were cooked well. Would've loved a char on them and maybe even the option of a honey drizzle .... Would elevate the dish wonderfully. But still happy with it :) The staff is really nice & they are very aware of people being on time crunches, so they are quick to get to you & quick to get you out if need be. My boyfriend had the burger, and gave it a 7/10 due to lack of sauce on it. They didn't have ranch available so that was a bummer. It was cooked well though, just needed a bit more flavor and/or sauce! Overall would definitely come back to try more. read more

Stopped in to grab a bite as me and my sister were waiting for our flight to head home. The place is chill, average restaurant layout, and has good seating in the area. Unfortunately, this was not a great pick food wise. I got the grilled chicken sandwich and it was not what I thought it would be. Give me anything with bacon and avocado but this just didn't cut it. It was just dry and lacking flavor. The fries were decent but could've used a little more seasoning. I was shook when I asked our server for a side of bbq sauce and ranch and she said they do not have the following condiments as options. I was done after that! Sad to say the host and person who escorted us to our booth were dull, which lived up to other reviews regarding the service. I will say our waiter was a great addition to the visit as she was very nice, informative, and honest. Thank you Kristina! All in all, this wouldn't be my first pick for food, maybe I'll stop by next time for a drink instead. read more

We had some time before our last trip at the airport and were pleasantly surprised with our breakfast at the Esquire Grille. It's not a super fast place and they did ask us at the beginning how long we had before our flight, so plan accordingly. We had a couple of hours so we were just fine. My husband had the steak and eggs and really enjoyed it. I had the avocado toast - it had so much flavor and the poached eggs were perfect. Our server was really friendly and fun and we had a great time chatting with her. It was one of the best airport meals I have probably ever had and we will definitely be back the next time we fly. read more

We stopped here prior to our flight. They have a really good menu with a lot of different options but not too many to choose from. The space was clean and it was nice that most of the tables had outlets at them for us travelers. Our server was so nice and our food came out perfectly made and delicious in a really speedy manner. read more

For airport food it was good. It atleast looked nice and had decent taste. I enjoyed the banh mi sandwich. The mai tai was okay as well. Can't really knock on it. Food was atleast flavorful and I enjoyed it. Would I recommend? Not really. It's a step above other places. But not enough to recommend. read more

What a great place to wait for boarding! We waited less than 10 minutes to be seated. The host was really good about checking in to see when our boarding was and gave us an estimated wait time! We were very happy that our food came out less than 30 minutes that we were told! Let me just say that the shrimp tacos were SOOOO GOOOD! I want to have some more! Add the avocado, I promise it makes it even better! We also got Niman Ranch Beef Burger--medium well and it was just right and solid burger overall! Highly recommend if you have at least an hour before boarding time! They were busy but people seemed to be having a great time at the bar and with their food! Cute area! read more

Great service and nice for sac airport. Just wish it was a little brighter inside. I went with the tacos with some fries and it was delicious. Simple and light. I was seated right away and the service was fast even though they were packed. Was in and out in about 25 min. read more

Great place to grab a bite before or after you fly. Just make sure you give yourself plenty of time - it was approximately 45 minutes from the time we sat down, got our food, headed to the gate. Which was reasonable considering there were four of us and it was a busy morning at the airport. I had the two egg breakfast, scrambled with bacon and toast, my hubby had the avocado bacon omelette and our friend had the avocado toast with a poached egg on top. We were all very happy with our meals! read more

One of the only, or might actually be the only sit-in dining restaurant in the Sacramento airport terminal. Serves a selection of American food. Food: Limited set of appetizers, entrees and selection of burgers and sandwiches served with fries or salads Banh mi (with grilled marinated pork) - 4/5- pork was on the saltier side; love the Vietnamese style Grilled chicken sandwich -5/5- excellent tender chicken breast with the nice grilled char marks on an artisan brioche bun Cesar salad - 4/5 - there was an awkward lemon zest to it and the croutons were awkwardly large Fries - good size and portion Guava margarita - 3/5 - the tequila was really strong, I barely tasted any guava flavor at all Ambience: Modern contemporary clean and cozy vibe Service: No complaints read more

Only sit down restaurant at the airport. Service is very slow and food came out incorrectly. Kinda of the opposite of what an airport restaurant needs to be. Sat at bar for over 30 mins. Had to finally ask to get my food to go so I wouldn't miss my flight. Ordered garden salad with chicken. Paid $40. $22 salad and $18 to add chicken. After I boarded, I opened the container to find no chicken. The manager needs to help the staff become more efficient and have quality control. read more

My flight was delayed so I thought I'd try this spot in the airport. It was very busy so it seemed like a good spot to check out but the food was okay. For the quality, it seemed over priced but I understand it's in an airport prices might be higher than you average location. My grilled chicken sandwich was definitely the better of the two and was actually quite good. The fries were about what you'd expect. The Banh Mi sandwich was a bit salty and the Cesar salad had a lime flavor to it which was odd. read more

Ordered the burger with cheese. Burger was great, cooked perfectly, nice soft bun. The cheese itself was extra sharp cheddar which is a surprise on an airport burger and not entirely pleasant. The service was attentive, especially considering how busy they were. My only complaint, and the reason for the 3 stars is I repeatedly saw staff pick things up off the floor or handle dirty dishes and napkins and then handle food orders, drinks, and clean silverware without washing their hands first. Would love to know that the food service issues have been addressed and rectified as I do think overall the bar has good food and drink choices. read more

So I went to the airport and this was the a horrible experience. I had the salmon with the black rice. Omg disgusting. My old fashion drink was not good either. It just was a bad experience. I go there usually when I fly out and have never had this tupe if experience. . The waitress took a long time to get to me. Its always a nice ambience when I go. read more

I come here for all my pre-flight drinks. Most recent visit, Bryan was my server/bartender. It was early but a rather busy morning for him. I ordered the Guava margarita x 2 both were perfection. To also ensure I didn't get too intoxicated pre-flight I also got sourdough toast which took a while, but again they were busy. Because of how slammed they were at that time, there was a little bit of a wait so i had to slam my second drink to make the flight boarding time. read more

I ordered the turkey/avocado BLT. It tasted good, although it looked sad...only two pieces of barely toasted bread so it's not a traditional BLT. Service was good too. They definitely could keep up better on the cleanliness but overall it wasn't bad. read more

3 hostesses and only 2 servers. Plenty of open tables (more than 50%) and we are told a 15 min wait because not enough servers. Time to look for another eatery I can see why they are closing. read more

Had a quick meal of Cesar salad with chicken and Brussels sprouts before heading out on a flight. The salad was cold and fresh and big enough to share. The Brussels sprouts were cooked with chili oil and chili's- spicy but a nice change from the usual prep. read more

Shoutout to Paul for the incredible service and great recommendations, making a mundane airport trip a lot better

breakfast burrito was soggy and gross. There was a bug in my coffee. I wasn't offered a refund or exchange when I made it clear I didn't care for the meal. read more

Best Cuban sandwich ever! My husband loved his burger, which smelled amazing. Paul was really nice and so was our server Candice! :)

Terrible. The food took forever to arrive mind you I only ordered a cup of soup and Brussel sprouts . The food should not have taken that long! Furthermore when the food finally arrived it had no flavor. I took two bites and threw the rest away. read more

Thai noodles so salty barely edible. Over priced and limited menu. Servers are very nice. Only bright spot

During the SMF remodel, they should lease out jack hammers to people ordering the steak sandwich to make it more consumable. Also, the service sucks. Second time eating here, second time feeling disappointed. As a weekly SMF traveler they have lost my business after today's experience. read more

Had a little time before our flight so popped in to grab some breakfast. The food was surprisingly good and well presented. I had avocado toast that was above average with nice crisp toast, mashed avocado, micro greens, watermelon radish, pickled red onion and even edible flowers! My husband had an omelet with potatoes and toast. Service was good but a little slow for an airport. read more

Solid airport food. The 4 stars is definitely for Bryan the bartender though. Excellent dude had great recommendation on the eggs Benedict. Took a star off was a pretty rude older waitress being kinda crappy to her co -workers and sounded like her supervisor... read more

I travel a lot for work and I just had the best airport meal in recent memory, and it was here. I got it to go. Grilled salmon on top of delicata squash and broccolini with a pomegranate relish and everything was perfectly cooked, not too oily, the salmon had a wonderful char. Couldn't have been more perfect. Oddly, the dish is not on the printed menu in front of the entrance. It was only on the online to-go menu. maybe because it's seasonal or a special or something. This kitchen knows how to do veggies. They still have a little bit of crunch and seasoned perfectly. It's hard to find good food at an airport so I really appreciate it! Compliments to the kitchen! read more

We grabbed a quick bit to eat while waiting for a flight out of the Sacramento Airport. I opted for the Esquire Grille. This is a spot I often frequented in the past while traveling on business. It was a little early to have a drink, so we decided on iced tea. We split a 2 Cheeseburger Slider Plate and a Shrimp Cocktail. The Shrimp was fresh and flavorful. The Sliders were large and delicious. I like this place ... a relatively calm spot in the middle of an airport ... often hard to find. read more

Service was good. They were slightly understaffed so used the QR code on the table. I ordered the $40 salmon filet and I should have known better. How does an airport facility pull off fresh fish, grilled with some degree of skill. The answer is " they don't". I hate writing a negative review but total bill was 49.12, I only ordered an entree, and maybe I'm out of touch with food prices but I dine at great restaurants at home and this really missed the mark on price and quality. HMS Host-do better. read more

A cut above other offerings here in terminal B. Prices are acceptable and the quality is above normal airport fare. Good option when flights are delayed. Takes the sting off the wait. Drinks are pretty delicious. It's a well appointed spot that's well above airport standard. Food is more than acceptable. It's 5 star airport but 3.23578123 for airport. Not enough in the math for a four star. read more

Not many meal choices but the service was great. While waiting for a flight that ran very late at the Sac International airport set down for a meal at the Grill. The service was friendly and took the time to clean a table for me so I didn't have to sit in the bar. The food like all airport food was over priced. Ordered Brussels Sprouts and Sliders, for the prices it was very over priced. Food was okay, I love Brussels sprouts and it was pretty average. read more

I gotta say, for airport chow this place is solid. Hot, fresh, fast and generous portions. My Banh Mi pork sandwich was awesome and the fries were piping hot and so good! Service is solid as well. If you have 45-50 minutes to eat while waiting for your flight - this place rocks. read more

Yelp asks "Do you recommend this place." Well, if you're waiting for your flight after making it through security, yes. If you're in downtown Sacramento, then no... The food is ok. The staffing is, well probably understaffed, so they are too busy to offer anything like I'd call service. The last time through my son and I got the server to eak out a smile. Barely. We were starting out on a ski vacation to Colorado. And she clearly just wanted the end of her shift to arrive. But our breakfast cocktails were good, and our food was reasonable enough. And the prices were actually reasonable for an airport. So, do I recommend Esquire? Sure, if you happen to be traveling and don't want to stand in line for food you're going to spill on your lap. read more

Esquire Grill - Hey, don't judge. It's vacation time! - American Near Me - Sacramento, California

Of the two main restaurant-style eateries at the Sacramento International Airport, I would say Esquire Grill gives off more of the "higher end" vibes compared to Cafeteria15L which is on the opposite side of the airport, near Gates 20/21. Esquire Grill is cleaner, offers more seating and a better menu compared to Cafeteria15L. They offer a full bar. Our server Lisa, was cool and no BS type of personality. I dig it ;) Food from the kitchen takes a while to come out, so I would recommend knowing what you want when you get seated and place your order right away. Pricing? It's airport pricing so be prepared to pay cuz it's pricey. Not worth the proportions, but it is what it is and good while pregaming before your flight. For example, 2 small beef sliders is $14.99, smalllll sliders. Lol. read more
