About Firkin & Flyer

Firkin & Flyer is a comfortable airport restaurant with good service. The mini crab cakes are tasty but a bit small for the price. Parking is in the airport garage, and the restaurant is wheelchair accessible. The bartender, though friendly, was often on the phone with earbuds in, making it difficult to order. Reviewers say the server was super sweet and very attentive, even when the restaurant was busy. The bartender was vibrant, welcoming, and kind, and brought energy and joy to guests. The restaurant offers a cozy atmosphere with an airport theme and a good view. The crab cake sandwich is delightful, with very little filler and plenty of crabby flavor, though it could benefit from a bit more seasoning and some lemon for acidity. Fries are crispy outside and fluffy inside but could also use some seasoning. Other popular items include the Turkey Avo Club, which was delicious but served on over-toasted bread, and the Firkin burger, rated 7/10 by a young diner. The chipotle chicken flatbread has a solid portion size, and the poutine is not bad. Guests should allow ample time before their flight, as the food can take about 30 minutes to come out. The service can be inconsistent, often affected by understaffing, which sometimes results in closing parts of the restaurant. The crab dip is a recommended choice. Overall, it's a good spot for a quick meal while waiting for a flight, especially for those craving a crab cake.
