“ As soon as we walked in, we were greeted and informed that it is last call for food and drinks which was perfect because we had 45 minutes until our flight boarded. Bartender was tentative to all 6 remaining guests. Hubbs ordered the burger and fries, I ordered the crispy chicken sandwich and fries. Hands down... DELICIOUS fries!! Hubbs burger was also good/juicy with great flavor. Cooks got my chicken sandwich wrong, it wasn't crispy, it was naked and dry but I was out of time for a redo so I ate it. Bartender noticed the error, without me saying anything to him, and gave a discount with an apology, which is rare and awesome! ”
“ Amazing place. They have both vegetarians and vegan options as well. I got the avocado toast and the taste was delicious! Delightful atmosphere and customer service. 10 of 10 would recommend. ”
“ Good place to wait for a flight, good food, decent beer selection but horrible cell and internet service. Staff was great. ”
“ Steak frites was delicious service was great and rose was cold. Would definitely eat here again ”
“ Had an hour overlay between flights, so we had some time to have a sit down lunch. We were seated right away, clean table, comfortable seating. Got our beverages quickly, the server was polite. Menu items were of a good variety, prices were understandable. My wife had the French dip bah MI sandwich, it had a great spiciness to it and the bread was tasty. I had the fish tacos, very delicious. ”
“ Pricey food, but good - get the steak bavette for price. Service has been less than ideal every time, these people hate working here. Last experience - no bar seats, Ok. Can I get a table with power outlet like right out front? I’m seated in the middle, with all the noise and no outlet - ask again - sent to high traffic area that servers use but has outlet - almost leave to trader Vic’s - instead, asked again, can I sit at the front area with outlet. This was done politely and with many thanks this entire time and good communication from my side. Seem to infuriate the hostess though This is common service in my experience and the wait staff always make me feel like I’m bothering them and not welcomed. Bar tenders have always been great I wish there was more seating to avoid the others ”
“ Quick service with very tasty food. We had less than an hour to board our morning flight, but still wanted some coffee n food, and Jim Stumps Tavern hit the spot. I ordered the smoked salmon sandwich and my wife got the avocado toast, and both were swift and delicious. While the dining room looked busy, we chose to belly-up at the bar and the bartender Josh was friendly and attentive, and we’re glad we chose this spot over a pastry and coffee from a cafe. ”
“ Decided to give this spot as they had some good food options. The Quinoa bowl w/Salmon was good and the dressing very good. The service (by P Gopal?) was excellent and has plenty of spaces that have power to charge devices and a bright open feel. Quinoa w/Salmon Bowl * Atmosphere * Service *** ”
