I was in JFK airport catching a flight to Puerto Rico. I was really hungry so my cousin & me…read moredecided to try this restaurant. We wanted a waitress & to dine in. This was one of the few places that had those options. I ordered a chicken parm sandwich w/ the marinara sauce on the side. It wasn't too bad. I feel like the chicken cutlet needed more flavor & was a little dry. It was pretty pricey as well. The marinara sauce had way too many onions for my liking. My cousin ordered a meatball sub & garlic bread for the table. The garlic bread was descent but a really small portion for the price. We waited a little bit for our food to come out .The waitress was very attentive & super friendly. Her name was Veronica. Kudos to Veronica for her awesome service! Thank you!

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.

They were basically out of everything I wanted, and the food we got was terrible…read more When you come to a restaurant because the menu says your mac & cheese is famous and you have a hungry seven-year-old, the waiter should let you know that they're out of their one of their star items. The fried pickles were so doughy that you could barely see a pickle, the waffle fries were undercooked, and the pickle slaw looked like you could've gotten it at Stop and Shop deli counter and added pickle chips. It was also drenched in so much mayonnaise that I couldn't eat it. Get yourself a turkey and cheese sandwich from the grab and go and be thankful that you did.

I admittedly have little experience when it comes to airport lounges, mainly because I'm neurotic…read moreand need to be close to my gate and I never reached any loyalty level with an airline to get access to one. However, in recent years I have had the option to access a few - but even still I'm not hiking across the terminal; it needs to be within close proximity. I recently flew out of JFK Terminal 4, and the Delta Sky Club was super close to my gate. That being said, I decided to check it out. I have no perspective when it comes to lounges, but I will say this Sky Lounge is quite large. The perimeter of the lounge contains a variety of seating types, while the middle contains more seating plus the main food station. The layout is a little confusing, but from what I got it seems to be a big circle...maybe? The setting is pretty nice - seats are comfortable with outlets in convenient locations to juice up. I wouldn't say it was peaceful though, as there were a lot of people there. Even still, nobody was loud or disruptive - just be prepared to be among people. I wasn't hungry so did not partake in food, but what I saw looked good - and they had an impressive variety. Overall, I was impressed with this Delta Sky Club. You're away from a good portion of the craziness and I wouldn't hesitate to spend time here again before another flight.

TBH, a little underwhelming compared to the location at LaGuardia... I love the breakfast options…read moreat LaGuardia... had yummy parfait and overnight oats-chia seeds with fresh fruits, prepped in cute little cups. Here... it's packaged yogurt and some fruits. They had smoothie in a tiny jar but didn't look appealing... They have your typical bagels, hot food w/ eggs, sausage and home fries... I wasn't in the mood. Was looking for lighter stuff but couldn't find the overnight oats/chia seed. So I grabbed coffee and a banana, a little bit of home fries (very bland) and regret getting the cold meat... it was gross. Sadly this location looks a little run down... might be time to refresh. The staff are friendly and helpful. Overall, if you have other options, go there. Otherwise, this is an alternative to kill time and have a bite to eat.

The one saving grace of this place is the bartender -i can't recall her name, perhaps Micheline or…read moreMichaela. She is such a warm, friendly and attentive person and deserves a raise. I cannot say the same for another bartender with red hair and a bun who was super rude, and ignored me and all other customers many times. Instead of trying to do any work she was constantly chatting with another coworker. I know there's a labor shortage but i just felt it was so unfair that one woman was working so hard while two others did nothing! Also the food and drinks in this place are not even close to being worth $19-$20 for cocktails and $65 for steaks.

The restaurants here (Bobby Van's included) are not representative of the amazing culinary scene of NYC and it's really quite a shame. My wife (originally from Queens) and I came through JFK on a recent trip to Europe and needed to grab dinner before our flight. We ended up eating at Bobby Van's and it definitely could have been better. The service was very, very slow and thankfully we had plenty of time before our flight. We ordered two turkey clubs and the sandwiched themselves were pretty good overall, but the fries were greasy and not appetizing. The prices were very, very high too (even for an airport) and it was not justified given the poor service. JFK needs better food options in Terminal 8.

But let's be real- airport restaurants aren't serving the best of the best. They're serving the best of the worst... and charging like it's a Michelin experience. On the 2nd leg of our Sanibel Island trip, we flew out of JFK and figured we'd grab breakfast here at The Palms since we had time to pass. I ordered an omelette that was $20-somethin and somehow managed to taste like absolutely nothing. Hubs' BEC was equally overpriced and disappointing. At this point, I'd rather pack leftovers from the night before or grab a decent pescatarian or vegetarian meal on the way to have at the airport while waiting or have in flight. I'll happily save my coins for food that's actually worth the calories and the price tag.
