“ Good lunch spot. Out meals were delicious and the staff was professional and we got in and out in good time. ”
“ I ordered the brisket sandwich and the grilled cheese sandwich. I was expecting the brisket sandwich to come on a bun, but it actually came on well-buttered grilled toast—which turned out to be a great surprise. The toast was soft, the brisket was moist, and I appreciated having the sauce on the side so I could add just the right amount. The flavoring and sauce were spot on—not too salty. My sweet potato fries were extra crunchy, just the way I like them. The grilled cheese sandwich was exactly what you’d expect. No surprises there. If I have another 2-hour layover, I’d definitely come back. ”
“ I had the smoked turkey BLT with sweet potato fries. The wheat bread on the sandwich and coating of the sweet potato fries were nice and crispy and not soggy at all. The flavors of both were tasty as well and the smoke on my turkey was not overwhelming at all. I topped off my meal with a nice portion of bread pudding. With a soft drink, my total was $35. For airport food, it was fairly tasty and the portions were reasonable for the price. The staff were fast and friendly. ”
“ Ok, but a bit light on flavor. High airport ori es, but friendly fast service. Brisket quesadilla had all the ingredients but wasn’t hot (more luke warm). ”
“ My meal was outstanding! The flavors & presentation were perfect! I had the chopped brisket tacos w/sweet potato fries. I know it is something I will crave moving forward. great service, too! I was in the DFW airport location. ”
