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!

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.

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.

The Delta Sky Club at JFK is always a welcome escape from Terminal 4, especially when I have some…read moretime to kill before a flight. I like being able to come in, find a comfortable seat, charge my devices, grab something to eat, and have a drink without sitting in the middle of all the gate traffic. The food selection is usually decent with enough hot and cold options to hold me over until my flight, and the bar service has always been good. It feels modern and spacious, and the outdoor Sky Deck overlooking the airfield is such a nice touch when the weather cooperates. My only real complaint is the crowd. Depending on the time of day, the lounge can get packed, which kind of defeats the purpose of going into a lounge to get away from the airport chaos. When it's not overly crowded, though, it's a completely different experience. The staff is friendly, the space is comfortable, and it's still where I'd rather spend my time before a Delta flight out of JFK.

Delta has a lot of traffic out of this terminal, thus opened a second (smaller) Sky Club in Concourse A in 2023. This one in Concourse B (capacity of 500 people) is located near Gate B31, and was convenient for a very early morning visit shortly after arriving into NY from LA on a red-eye flight. My wife and I gain entry into Sky Clubs via our AMEX Delta Reserve Card, which provides 15 complementary visits per year. The Sky Club allows entry at the point of arrival, whereas most other lounges is only for point of departure and any layovers. Since we had already used the lounge at LAX the previous night, we knew this additional visit wouldn't count against our cap, so decided to stop in for breakfast. It was very close to our arrival gate (though on the second floor, requiring taking an escalator or elevator), and had already opened at 05:00 by the time we entered (05:20). There were already quite a few people inside, with the breakfast buffet stocked. Found some nice seating with a view of the concourse. I tried some scrambled eggs, herb baked baby potatoes, pork sausage...ended up being a decent breakfast. My wife took advantage of the shower facilities, making an immediately fulfilled reservation since there was no wait. My wife added to her celebrity sightings by meeting Nile Rodgers in line at the breakfast buffet. She said he was a super nice man, willing to talk a bit with her as they progressed, and being appreciative that she was a fan.

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.

Their bacon egg and cheese croissant sandwich is excellent too, with a nice kick from red pepper flakes that most breakfast sandwiches skip. What really sets this place apart is the staff. My family and I ordered our sandwich to go, then spontaneously decided to stay and eat at a table instead. Without us saying anything, one of the staff noticed and asked if we'd like the food served on a plate. That kind of attentiveness isn't something you can train easily, it comes from people who actually care about the guest experience rather than just moving through a checklist. As a Christian, I also appreciated hearing worship music playing in the background, it added a warm, welcoming atmosphere. If you're near the airport and want quality coffee made with care, this is the spot.

Overall, I had a good experience and enjoyed my drink.
