    Beer menu
    Jason T.

    Airport bar with the usual high prices for beer. I didn't get the food as I looked around nothing seemed good. Ashanti the bartender was kind and courteous. Unfortunately I was charged $5.56 tip for two $30 total beers which is insane!

    Bar and entrance.

    This is a damn interesting place inside the airport. Of course it's pretty pricy like airport restaurants are, so be forewarned. Really nice decor, very comforting. My waiter was kind of an odd sort, and threw me when he says pay first before getting the food. I guess they had problems...clue was stuff was attached to the table such as IR codes. The menu is not deep....but my Cajun Chicken Sandwich and salad was excellent...could not get over the variety of flavors, unexpectedly good. No joke. And that made up for any misgivings I may have had. Go visit them.

    If you're looking for a drink in Terminal F at the Philly airport, there's a good chance you'll be stopping by here. As to be expected with airport eats, the food and drinks are egregiously expensive, though they do give you a decent portion size for what you're paying. There aren't a ton of options for breakfast, which I'd normally be fine with - however the "options" here are all essentially variations of the same thing. Eggs, peppers, meat. I've been here for lunch/ dinner before and their options for those meals is more varied, and are really flavorful!! The service here is always 11/10. The staff is always more than friendly and accommodating, and check in frequently to make sure you have everything you need. Literally as I was typing this, the waitress checked in to make sure I liked the beer I had tried because I told her I had never had it before. A lot of them also wear eagles gear during football season, which I absolutely love (go birds!!!!) The ambiance is standard for an airport - very open, pick your own seating, normally not overly crowded. I usually fly out of this terminal as a solo passenger every other month or so and I've never had issues getting a spot here. Overall, this is my preferred eating arrangement for Terminal F at the Philly airport. If this was ANYWHERE else in the world,it would get a 2.5 for the price, lack of breakfast options, and the fact that you have to use a QR code to read the menu. However, the INCREDIBLE staff absolutely save this place, and the food is honestly pretty good. As someone who grew up in Jersey, I consider this to be a diner quality breakfast. I REALLY wish they had more options though!

    My usual stop at Gate F. Staff are nice. Easy ordering on your phone. Tables and a bar area that's nice. Food is usually pretty good. A little disappointed with my lemon ricotta pancakes this time. Definitely undercooked and no one came by to see how they were so I just picked around them. Large cup of tea was nice. I'm sure I will eat here again. It's pricey but it's the airport so expected.

    Outrageous tab

    The good- service was very good. And all of them were polite and friendly. Had sliders and fries. Both were good. The bad- the prices... initial order was Miller lite draft and a 9 oz Chardonnay and one order of plain fries.... Including the 18% gratuity it was $60. Wow! That's high!! But you are screwed in terminal F. Also we sat in front of the grill area because that was the only availability so we were basically at a deli. A little further down the bar is cut though!

    All airport food is outrageously priced. Knowing that it should be good. This Philly airport establishment did not deliver. For $38 I got a braised rib sandwich and fries. The fries were like warm and mushy. The sandwich was dry and tasteless. Absolutely not worth ordering.

    Expansive menu for an airport lounge. However...Holy expensive. As much as I love a glass of libations to calm the nerves pre-flight, a $18 glass of a mediocre wine or cocktail is a tad too jarring for my wallet. We were pleasantly surprised by the setup here. Charging stations accessible at every seat. A bar to sip at, high-tops galore and a few low-top tables as well. They have a tablet at every single seat for patrons to scan the QR code and order/pay from. Makes for a much more streamlined experience. However, staff was very scarce and didn't seem to know who ordered what as they brought out food and drink. Another downside of this tech-tastic process is that the staff didn't keep track of who left when so tables were rarely cleaned off. Also, we helped few older, non-tech savvy couples on our way out who didn't know how to use the QR feature (there were no instructions to be found). We enjoyed our cold beer and ordered a caramel apple cheesecake slice to split. The apples and cheesecake were nothing special but hit the spot. The texture of the kosher salt on top of it was admittedly a tad off-putting, though. I didn't expect sand-like crunch as we bit into creamy cheesecake. Not sure we would head back here again, but it was worth a stop when we had time to kill and phones that needed a charge prior to a flight.

    Employees just standing around while we have empty drinks on our table.

    You have a short layover in Terminal F that turns into a long layover and you are hungry, but don't want to eat fast food.....come here. It has a cool vibe and nice selection of craft cocktails, several TVs, and low and high top seating. It attracts your attention from the terminal. It was different than any sit down meal I've had in an airport before. No one will wait on you. You have to use your camera, not the QR reader app, on your phone to get the menu and order. Post Covid that seems to be the norm, and I didn't mind, but if you have any questions you have to track an employee down. They won't speak to you otherwise until they bring you your food and drink. And guess what? THEY WONT COME BACK! We ran out of water and Starry. I'm couldn't get anyone's attention. I guess what that meant was if I wanted more to drink, I had to order it from the app again! And that makes sense because after you place your order you have to pay for it, but you can leave your tab open or close it. So, that tells me if my kid wanted another drink I would have had to order from the app again. I feel sorry for the older lady next to us. She had to get an employee to help her get the menu and order on her phone. There is zero customer service here. You can tell the workers here only respond when the computers tell them to take an order out. So, their service isn't good IMO. The food was OK. And guess what? It will always be just OK because in my almost 53 years of life this is the first and most likely last time I will be in this airport. Everyone that comes in this place is passing through and often it will be their first and only visit. So, I had to get the Philly cheesesteak. I thought it was OK, but I am sure the ones in downtown Philly are much better. My son said his checked sandwich was OK too. And of course airport food prices out insane. $25 cheesesteak and chicken sandwich. ‍ an Aviator cocktail was $17 and Bloody Nary was $15.50. I get free drinks on the plane so I passed on those prices!

I do wish the bartenders had more authority to stop serving patrons. There was an absolutely obnoxious man and woman two tables down from me who were reading every text message that they received out loud and then laughing uproariously. They had at least three glasses each on their table and got two more while I was there. They ordered a massive amount of food, didn't eat it, and then shifted two tables down and ordered more food. When the servers came by to clear their initial table, the couple laughed and said Oh yeah - the people who were here didn't like that that much. So not so much a commentary on the lounge itself, which is very nice and probably one of the better lounges that I have been in, but to the quality of some of the patrons that you might encounter, should you choose to spend some time here.

This was a really great spot. My coworker and I were over in North Jersey for work but flew in and out of PHL rather than facing Newark. In order to beat the crazy construction traffic outside of Philly and to have a buffer for whatever TSA nightmare we were going to face, we got back near the airport early... like 4 1/2 hours before our flight kind of early. I wanted breakfast outside of the airport so I found this spot while he was refilling the rental car. I got the French toast with homefries. The french toast was perfect, with just a tiny bit of crisp in spot from the griddle. Same with the homefries. I would have liked a bit more seasoning while they were cooking, but a bit of salt and pepper and I was good to go. My coworker got the big breakfast but subbed out the homefries for corned beef hash. While I'm not a fan of corned beef hash, it looked exactly like how my mom and grandfather like it, with a little bit of crisp to it. The pancake was huge and he said his over medium eggs were cooked exactly like he hoped they would be. Now I just need to plan out my flights so I can come get breakfast here again and try one of the sandwiches, or omelettes, or maybe get French toast again...

However, it was too early and they weren't selling the Philly cheesesteaks yet. Too bad! I'll have to try that next time in that airport. I was about to leave when I saw Taylor ham on the menu! This is something that is not served everywhere and kind of unique to the eastern USA, in my opinion. I mostly familiar with Taylor Ham, from my time in New York City. Anyway, I thought I would try it. I was thrilled to see my server, cooking up my fried eggs, freshly on the grill. He was quick and efficient. He seasoned them up perfectly. The cheese was melted all over the eggs, nice and gooey. That was placed on top of us thick Taylor ham slice. I did not expect that! I thought it would be a thin slice of Taylor ham. I think it's the saltines of the ham, but I really like. And the bun absolutely wonderfully soft. This was the perfect find at the Philadelphia airport! I hope I can get back there to try the Philly cheesesteak next time. The restaurant was clean. The service was fast.
