We ordered two different dishes to share--the cheeseburger and the skewer combo--and both were absolutely delicious! Everything was flavorful, fresh, and much better than what you typically expect from airport food. It can be surprisingly difficult to find a really good restaurant at an airport, whether you're waiting for your flight or have just arrived. This is definitely one of the best choices at IAH, and I'm so glad we gave it a try. If you're traveling through Terminal A, don't just walk by--stop and give it a try!

With a 5-hour layover in the Houston airport, we decided to give Simone Biles' Taste of Gold…read morerestaurant in Terminal A a try. Tables surround a rectangular full-service bar and food appears from the kitchen through a small window that faces the customers. We immediately found a seat, and the server arrived in minutes with menus and took our drink orders. Like many Terminal A eateries, there were only about 5 entrees in addition to offerings of soup and salads and sides. We both settled on the cheeseburger ($18 each) that came with a side of fries, a ramekin of ketchup, and a wee pickle slice. The burger arrived on a decent-sized bun and the meat was cooked fine, yet no condiments came with it. We asked for onions and tomatoes along with the cheese; however, two small pieces of onion and two small tomatoes dressed the burger. We used our small ramekin of ketchup not only for our French fries but also to add moisture to the burger. No mayo, no mustard in sight. Fries tasted good but just lukewarm and not sizzling hot. Guess I shouldn't complain about airport food, yet with the upped prices, many eateries could do a little better in providing a better quality experience.

Suffice to say, I read almost all the reviews on here prior to sharing this experience (still…read morelooking for this restaurant on google, which is where I typically write all my reviews - good/bad). Let me start by saying that Jamie the server is exceptional at what he does and is 95% of the time doing it by himself. That being said, he gets my grace and he always aims to please his customers in my opinion, even if it takes him some time to accomplish it, and that I believe customers value generally. The food here was always good in my opinion, especially for where we were. When he is not around, I guess you could say "all hell breaks lose". There is a female that works here on the weekends and she is horrible, if that is any way to describe the most horrific restaurant experience one could have. While it is clear that most of these reviews are a few years back, mine is quite recent (March 2026). I give people the benefit of the doubt and it was my 2nd experience with her that did it. As I always say, when people show you who they are, believe them. She sucks and she does not belong in "any" environment that has customer service as their goal because she knows not what that is. When I walked up to the bar to place my order, 2 other females that I am familiar with were sitting there apparently waiting on her to serve them as well. She acknowledged me with an attitude after I nudged her (because I was standing there a while and was being ignored). And yes, she was very present on the cash register doing I don't know what, that could have been more important than serving waiting customers. Once enough time had passed, I exchanged words with the other ladies waiting, only to find out that they too had been sitting for a significant period of time waiting on her. Once I made it clear that there was no reason for me to wait 40 mins for a glass of wine while the server was present (because this particular evening, that's all I wanted), I walked away, and they did shortly after as well. A few minutes later, in reiterating my experience to another party, I was told that 4 other persons walked away from the restaurant a few hours earlier because of her. So in total, that day (it was a Saturday), this restaurant lost the business of at least 7 people (that we know of) because of 1 bad employee. As a business owner, that smells like defeat. I hope the owner sees this and gets rid of her. I am not one quick to see people lose their jobs for any reason, actually I am quick to beg an employer to let the employee keep their job, but not this time around. She belongs behind a closed door where she has zero contact with the outside world. Despicable. The reason I'm just now writing this if you're wondering, is because I just left a very popular busy restaurant and the service, ambiance and food were all top notch. So I came on here to write a god review for them, then I remembered this bad experience.

Similar to the restaurant, the airport edition was luscious, creamy, and bursting with flavor! It's an easy dish to bring on the plane and if you're anything like me, you'd appreciate the opportunity to test the Unami theory thanks yo the science of the glutamates in tomatoes.
