Best airport food ever located in the D Gates for Southwest. If you have time, it's worth the walk. I've been to the La Grande Orange restaurant in Pasadena and it was amazing. This airport version was just as good. The Kale and Quinoa Salad is sooooooo good! And their juices are fresh too! Couldn't say anything more awesome. The service was quick and friendly. read more

In this day and age is it really necessary to swamp this earth and our oceans with copious amounts of La Grande Orange plastic? Really? Plastic bag... holding my plastic wrapped plastic utensils and plastic box salad. Ohh yeah! In the plastic boxed salad there are two plastic containers holding two kinds of salad dressing. Each with plastic lids. Let's not forget the plastic cup for tea. All of this to sit down and eat inside the establishment. I will not come back at least until someone in this company has a revelation that maybe they use too much plastic. read more

Came by for a quick drink before a flight, everything was fine until we got the tab. The bartender came to grab it as we were standing up, and saw the "tip" was empty. I was going to hand him some cash since I worked service and always preferred cash, but he said "oh that's sooooo nice thank you" sarcastically when he came over. I was so embarrassed I just walked away, because he said it right in front of other patrons. It was a really unprofessional move. read more

I still haven't been to the "regular" LGO location in Phoenix, but I liked the one in the airport. In general, terminal 4 at Sky Harbor has developed some good restaurants, but this might be the best one once you get past security. I like that there's several options including salads, pizza, sandwiches, and even breakfast. I had a chopped salad and really liked everything in it. It's always a little annoying to have to mix dressing (which the vinegarette here is really good!) in those plastic containers w/the salad contents, but what are you gonna do when you grab and go at the airport? I saw a woman behind the counter putting salads together so it looks like they put fresh ones out pretty often. I also snuck a piece of cheese pizza from my mom and it tasted good. They have a couple beers on tap & a few wines to choose from. The food here seems pretty comparable in price to the regular restaurant, but alcohol is a little more (as the airport does). I also tried the cookie with "everything" in it (forget what it's called) and it was yummy! read more

Not too impressed with the customer service or food. Tried to order cheese pizza, but they didn't start selling it until afternoon, so we bought two orders of fries, a monster peanut butter cookie and a juice. Turned out to be around $15-20, without the pizza. We decided to walk all the way to another pizza serving place in the airport. Got food, but didn't taste very good. read more

Whaaaatttt?!? I was confused, I was in an airport and I was eating genuinely fresh and delicious and not greasy food... We were on a rushed layover and grabbed a ready made pizza and a boxed salad with low expectations - and were blown away by the freshness, quality ingredients and most of all the delicious, chewy, slow fermented pizza crust. I would actually opt to come here as a restaurant for that - and having it delivered as a pick-up option during a layover it is an EASY 5 stars. I hate airport food. I loved this. I'll definitely make a beeline back here next time I'm connecting through Skyharbor read more

First off, amazing orange juice. Though, if you messed that up and called yourself "The Big Orange," full stop. Drop out now. No need to, though, because this tasted freshly squeezed with the perfect flavor and texture. The Zuni breakfast burrito I had was very good as well. Not mind blowing, but solid for airport food. Speaking of which, LGO is a great alternative to your typical airport fare. With a wide variety of menu items for virtually any time of day, this was a pleasant departure from most terminal grub. read more

We ended up eating at LGO twice at the Phoenix airport during our trip. Both times the sandwiches were very fresh and filled with meat and ingredients. The turkey stack sandwich was very filling with mounds of turkey breast, avocado, tomatoes, on a multigrain bread. The open-faced chicken salad sandwich easily had over a cup of filling in it and served on grilled multigrain bread. The cost of the sandwiches I thought was very reasonable for the quantity, quality, and being served at an airport. The grab and go case offers a quick convenience for travelers on their way to their next destination. read more

I couldn't believe how good this was! I'm giving the rare five stars to an airport grab-and-go for quality and value. I had two scrambled eggs, two slices of sourdough toast, a little fruit and a small drip coffee for $9.50. The eggs were surprisingly delicious - not your standard, rubbery, cheap restaurant eggs. The toast was also wonderful, and came with seedless blackberry jam and two pats of butter. I would have liked more fruit, but the slice of cantaloupe I did have was great. I would have paid more for this, but I'm glad I didn't have to. They told me it would take ten minutes to prep, which would have been totally fine, but it was more like five. Plenty of seating and a well-stocked extras bar nearby helped me get my coffee ready. This is exactly what you need when you come to the airport, it was the perfect fuel for my travel day! read more

I came to this trendy marketplace/restaurant after an incredibly unsatisfying meal. It did the trick in satisfying my hunger but was far from perfect. The servers were all extremely friendly and were accommodating as I ordered a lettuce-wrapped green chile burger and subbed green beans as my side. The burger itself was average and the chiles didn't pack much flavor other than intense heat. I didn't hate it but it wasn't anything to call home about. The green beans were tossed in garlic olive oil and were outstanding - win for Team Orange! Needless to say, I ordered a drink to accompany my entree and went with the a tasty $7.25 house IPA the server recommended. When I initially asked the server what drinks they had she told me about their beer selection. I only found out *after* paying for my IPA that they had $5 glasses of wine. When I politely (I promise, I was nice) brought it up with her she said, "oh, I just don't like wine myself so I don't really think to tell people about it." I didn't think a drink selection could be so complicated. I know that this is a small gripe, but it's annoying for a penny-pincher like me. Overall, I'd be willing to give La Grande Orange one more go if I'm back in the PHX terminal. read more

Pizza usually takes 10-15 mins to make but it's fresh & hot. Love the kale salad and gotta order an mini AtoZ cookie for dessert! I love that this is location in Terminal D at Sky Harbor. There are always lines here so if you're in a rush to connect to your flight, watch out. It could take 10-15 minutes since most items are made to order. The grapefruit sunrise bevy is fresh and tart. But the small is a bit pricey for $3.00. read more

We got the fallen angel and the sonoma salad and they were both amazing. Definitely not cheap but to get gourmet food at the airport was totally worth it versus same price at some other place! Crust, toppings and cheese were amazing! The salad was fresh and had a great mix of ingredients! We will be back for sure to this or the main location! read more

Airport restaurants are usually hit or miss...but this place is a hit for me. A simple deli style, no server cafe that serves burgers, pizza, salads, sandwiches, breakfast and a variety of desserts. I got myself a California Burger (angus beef, havarti cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onions). My first impression was that it is definitely smaller than the usual burgers served at other restaurants, but I guess that is to be expected in an airport. With that being said, the burger was actually just the right size, very juicy and full of flavor. It also comes with hearty side of fries. Airport priced, but well worth it. The only thing I did not like about this place is that they do not offer fountain drinks...only bottled, and those cost $2.79 each . Enjoy! read more

Would be a 4-star in normal circumstances, but compared to most fast airport fare, this is a 5-star. I have eaten meals here twice and stopped here several times for coffee and a treat. Each time has been quite good. For food, I've tried a burger and also a hot sandwich, and each were good. I enjoy the cold-brewed iced coffee very much, so that's my recommendation if you're not traveling at mealtime. Get yourself an iced coffee with two $.75 mini-cookies, pour in some half-and-half and you have an excellent snack before hopping on your plane. If you arrive in terminal D, grab an iced coffee to go and drag it out of the terminal on to your rental car bus. It is a great pick-me-up to nurse for the whole day. read more

I love Terminal 4 at Sky Harbor. I fly out of here pretty regularly, and I'm always amazed at the variety of legitimately good local restaurant options here, as opposed to other airports where you're limited to fast food chains. I'm a huge fan of LGO. Their sourdough English muffins are what dreams are made of; I highly recommend getting your burger on one of those bad boys. Life changing. I had a 5:55 am flight out of PHX this morning, and luckily for me this location opens at 5 am sharp. I had the commuter sandwich with turkey and avocado ($9.55 + 0.50 to add avocado) and it definitely hit the spot. I ordered at the counter and it was out in less than 5 minutes. For those of you who love spice, they have a condiment bar with Sriracha and Tapatio and a variety of other hot sauces. The large cold brew ($5) is about 20 ounces of smoooooth strong (in a good way!) deliciousness. They have a ton of "patio" tables as well as a couple big communal tables with power sockets if you plan to hang out for a while. If you get a regular coffee - free refills. I didn't have any of their pastries today, but their cupcakes are amazing too :) read more

During late-night happy hour my total was about $55 for a main entrée, an appetizer, a cocktail, and tip, which felt like a great deal. I was pleasantly surprised that happy hour runs every day Monday through Sunday from 3-6 PM and again from 8 PM to close.

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. Overall, this place has a really welcoming atmosphere, great service, delicious food and drinks, and the kind of environment that makes you want to stay awhile. Definitely somewhere I'd come back to for another long brunch.

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'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. The patio is nice with lots of shrubs right outside the rail. The murals on the wall are pretty darn cool - - they're like enlarged historic photos of the area. I love them! And I'm not sure who's giant face is hanging on the ceiling but it's short a spark conversation. The menu here has a little something for everyone. There's the regular loaded fries and wings, salads, and a nice election burgers. We ordered the Philly Salad and the Very Summer Salad with a side order of fries. 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. The bar had a dog full of water that they sat down on the counter next to her owner's beer. They also have dog biscuits to give. It made my day to see that sweet little dog hanging at the bar having a treat. This really is kind of a spot that feels like it's probably the hangout spot of many people.

We were setup in a separate dining area from the main dining room, which allowed for better conversation without added noise. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive the entire time we were there, which was a couple hours. The milk bread is an absolute must! It's so pillowy soft and the flaky sea salt perfectly compliments it. I ordered the Wise Decision cocktail, which was refreshing. For my entree, I had the shishito Caesar salad and was advised I could add a protein from their skewer selection of chicken, pork belly or oyster mushrooms. 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? Not if I were paying, but since my company paid for it, I think it was worth it. This is a great spot for a date night or special occasion.

For the table, Camarones Locos is an easy choice. The flame grilled shrimp comes out hot and full of flavor, perfect for passing around. La Patrona ceviche tower is massive and worth the order. When it hits the table, you immediately feel good about the decision. El Pulpazo is technically an entrée, but we always order it as a shareable. The octopus is grilled perfectly and it comes with rice and beans, so everyone gets a little of everything. For entrées, my number one pick is the Lobster and Crab Enchiladas with green sauce. I think about this dish at least once a week. The enchiladas are packed with lobster and crab, and the green sauce ties the whole thing together. Honestly, I could talk about this place all day.

We eventually went online to order takeout. Waited over an hour in total to get our food. I don't know why the owner didn't direct us to order takeout instead since he wasn't seating anyone anymore. We never would have been seated because the owner never said anything to us. Service is horrible, and the owner did nothing to make up for his mistake. I will say that the other workers were all very nice and did their best. It must be tough working for a boss who makes mistakes like these.
