Great little gem at the jfk airport terminal 5 - TWA HOTEL!…read more This retired aircraft serves as an elegant bar in the style of the twa Connie from the 1950s. Adorable and sheek - fun for a drink or two and photo worthy. Alongside the runway of JetBlue.

Connie is a unique experience, sipping cocktails aboard an old TWA plane. It was a long ride from…read moremy Manhattan hotel room, but it was worth it. As a history buff I enjoyed experiencing this slice of history. You board in the front of the plane and can take a look into the cockpit. The bartender is in the back of the plane, and she served me a perfectly mixed double Bacardi & Coke and my friend a perfectly mixed double Tito's & Club Soda. We also grabbed some chips with our cocktails. The only downside was the price of the drinks. If the drinks were more reasonably priced I would have stayed longer and put a return trip on my calendar.

Layover at JFK on the way home and decided to grab dinner before flight. The restaurant was busy…read morebut the nice hostess sat us quickly. She pointed out the QR code to place our order. We were greeted maybe 8-10 minutes later by our server after having placed our order. She dropped off our drinks and was pleasant. The food was good. My BF had the Bistro Burger with Fries, $23 and enjoyed it. I had the Hot Honey Fried Chicken Sandwich with House Made Chips, $19. My sandwich was tasty, I really liked the hot honey. The restaurant is decorated nicely with lots of windows facing the tarmac. It had a more upscale vibe than most of the places at the airport. Operations seemed to run smoothly and although busy, we didn't feel rushed while dining.

Wednesday morning was quiet and no lines. Breakfast isn't as good here as the other meals. Sunrise…read moremelt was not really made to order, it was lukewarm and the cheese wasn't melted. The matcha yogurt also had no matcha.... The egg corn scramble was a little watery, and everything needed hot sauce which is fine since they provide several. I tried the rise and shine espresso cocktail and not my cup of tea, but it was also the morning so maybe I just wasn't feeling it. Still a step above other lounges though.

Not all lounges are made equal, and the Sapphire lounge at JFK sits in the same class as Centurion…read moreand Capital One's new lounge. You can debate the nuances of each-- Centurion's food is better, Capital One's is larger and has a cheese monger, Ess a Bagel, and better cocktails. But compared to the sort of lounges that don't have their own bathrooms and offer nothing more than some bananas and cereal, you really could do worse. The Sapphire lounge in LGA is larger and prettier, but they pretty much offer the same amenities. The bathrooms have been clean every time I've visited, save for one time. The menu isn't vast but there's a little buffet station with fresh fruit and hot food, as well as a made to order menu with full sized portions. Sometimes the food has been quick, and other times it has taken a while, so you really should give yourself some buffer time if you're trying to get something from the made to order menu. The food is fine. I've visited enough times to say that the folks who work here have been so warm and nice each time, checking in and asking guests how they're doing. Garbage is cleaned up immediately, so it's a pretty well oiled machine in there. You can bring up to 2 guests and any additional guests cost just $27 more, which I'd say it's worth it, particularly if you have a long layover and will have a couple of drinks.

Let's start with the ambiance. Although Terminal 5 at JFK offers few restaurant choices, Jacob's…read morePickles stands out and never disappoints, even when options are limited. The hostess greeted me warmly and allowed me to browse the menu at my leisure without feeling rushed. The seating was spacious, and the self-serve bar area offered plenty of room. The decor and vibe evoked an early 60s charm, though the playlist featuring early 2000s hits was a quirky mismatch, yet, honestly, it grew on me and seemed to add a lively edge to the meal. The menu was straightforward, offering a tempting selection of chicken sandwiches and biscuit dishes. After some thought, I settled on the chicken ranch, it was ready in less than five minutes! The "Porch Sipper" drink was delightful; I ended up ordering a second, as its flavors transported me to open Kentucky fields, sitting on a wraparound porch on a warm summer day, savoring the music and gazing at the blue summer sky. The experience was truly immersive. And I must say, the staff radiated positive energy, they seemed genuinely happy to be there, which makes a difference when dealing with thousands of travelers daily. Jacob's Pickles is definitely a must-visit spot when passing through JFK Terminal 5.

Don't bother. If its busy at all, just go elsewhere. We stopped in pre flight. Sat down and after…read moreabout 10 minutes, I had to ask someone if I could order. They said "let me check" and looked for what was apparently our waiter. Still nothing. Finally, about 5 minutes later, we ordered. I then watched people sit after we did and began getting their drinks. We still had nothing. Had to ask 3 times only to be told let me check. The drinks finally arrived but another 15 at least before the food. Service was worse than vad and its clear management isnt managing. The staff all looked like they were lost. The food was just ok, not note worthy, but after all that, I didn't care. I was hungry. Then it came time to pay and I had to hunt down someone to take my money. They WERE busy but even with that, they dont seem to care at all. Its an airport. People gotta get in and get gone so they dont miss their flight. Not here.

If you have plenty of time for a sit down meal, I highly recommend this spot. Both the sandwich/salad combo and the flatbread were outstanding. The flatbread was something else.

The bar is impeccable and features cocktails and all type of drinks. There is also a 45 minute cheese tasting experience that you can sign up for if you have time. It is a great experience and the staff is courteous and super helpful. It is also open 24 hours, but you can only enter 3 hours before your flight.

It's the first time that I ever venture into a capital one lounge. Staff at from desk gave an overview and the lay of the lounge. As you walked in after checking in there were nice comfortable chairs. The ambiance and decor is really inviting. Walked to the Bodega station and ordered a Swiss and Pastrami on a toasted cinnamon raisin bagel. Then I saw staff making coffee. I placed an order for a cappuccino, she said you have to place order where you were for the food. Mentioned first time, so she said no problem and she made the cappuccino as I waited. Had no idea when the bagel was going to be ready, so I went to find a place to sit and place my luggage.. Staff said Swiss and Pastrami on Cinnamon Bagel. I went to get item. In the Bodega you can get wrap and bagel sandwiches to go and pack to go items. On all the tables there were QR code where you scan and place an order. I decided to check out the buffet area. There were items that you pick up and put in tray and take to table. The Brussel sprout and deviled egg were delicious. The croissant with crème filling was addicting. There were bags where you can put sweets to go. If you flying Delta, make sure you pack and order stuff to go. Delta only serve beverage and chips/cookie... even if your flight is 6 hours. Restrooms spacious and clean. It was hard to find this place. After security, The Capital One Lounge is before Gate B 20. So if you pass Gate B20 then you passed the Capital One Lounge. So make sure you give ample time to get to your gate leaving the lounge. The gate where my flight was at Gate B53 so it's a good 20 minute walk. Lots of staff coming over to remove empty trays as well as clean tables. Look forward to checking out other Capital One Lounges.

I'd give this place a 3.5 to 4 star. Me and my buddies landed at JFK earlier in the day and were…read morestaying at the Hampton by Hilton next door, so decided to stop by as the place looked pretty good and it's within walking distance from our hotel. Place is really nice and classy looking. Servers were all friendly and food came out pretty quickly. Menu is pretty small and simple, so I got the Q burger. It was pretty good, cooked medium like I asked and nice char flavor on it. Held together pretty well too and didn't fall apart while I ate it. Fries were nice and crunchy and actually pretty good too. Took off a few stars because although the food was decent, it is pretty expensive. Burger was $26, when it should actually be around a $20 burger. My buddies steak frites were $38, which again is pretty expensive, imo.
