Lauren was amazing!!! Her and the staff communicated well and were efficient providing a lively and comfortable environment. Her service attracted great customers too. We had the briskets with mac and cheese and potato salad. Definitely going to be my go to stop whenever I fly in :)

For "Airport" BBQ, it's quite good. Very pleasantly surprised! I had the sliced brisket. Very nice smoke ring and flavor. Quick service as well. Decent tequila and bourbon selection.

Hey, Denise Wilson why don’t you share how you came in extremely rude and drunk. Demanding more liquor when you were already causing a scene cause you came from another bar very drunk. You are a liar and a drunk. The service team was very nice to you. Complaining because you couldn’t “taste” the liquor in your drink, however your friend said her drink was fine(because she wasn’t drunk like YOU) you are someone’s grandmother and you should be ashamed. Disgusting woman. Also, I have not nor will I EVER said “idk” to a customer concerning food allergies. Also, you didn’t mention that we re-made the food for the table complaining that it was cold. Just a big fat liar. Lay off the snacks & alcohol. Destiny and I did all we could to make your problem better, even gave you more liquor (which you didn’t need because you were already extremely drunk. Seek help because alcoholism kills. -signed the ATTENTIVE waitress.

I had a great salad here today. The server was good but seemed, I don’t know—depressed? Also could do without the loud music, but that’s just me.

Food was excellent and generous portioned. It's a small airport spot, so atmosphere is ok. Will come back in Terminal D!
