My daughter & I got food poisoning here. Extremely ill for 7 hours before we could even sleep. Still not well.

All American bar owners should be required to study with Hagar to learn how to properly serve up tasty “bar food”. “Not just nachos” is the name of the game and like the food in Cabo San Lucas it will change your opinion of Mexican Food. Fresh and tasty, and of course the bar selection is top rate. Get the high-end margarita with some Cabo Wabo Reposado.

Be mindful that there are just a few restaurants available per Terminal with most of them after you go through the TSA checkpoint. We had about an 1-1/2 before our Alaska flight and decided to eat at Sammy's. The Menu has a fair number of selections and the pricing was not outrageous. We chose the salads with shrimp and chicken toppings. Salad bowl was overflowing and quite filling. Sammy's had comfortable seating and good table service. I would eat there again if I had another opportunity to do so.

So I'm going with a 1-star review because zero stars wasn't even an option. Sunday morning at 830 isn't crazy busy but there are people. I wait 25 minutes to be seated (manageable) and the 25 minutes later I have yet to be greeted by a server let along have a drink order taken. Not even water. There 27 people total in the restaurant, 3 servers and 3 kitchen staff. Yes, I counted. I managed a dining room and waited tables for years. While I don't expect perfection, I expect something. I finally left after a server walked by and I asked if I could get a water when she came back through while I waited, and she said, "oh, sorry, the kitchen's really backed up." And I looked around at the other tables next to me that hadn't even be greeted since we'd been seated and told her no one had even come by with Menus or water and she said, " oh, sorry the kitchen's basically 30 mins behind." Ooookay, what's that got to do with the fact that three of you aren't even thinking of attending your tables. If you have all day to hope to taste the water, this place might be for you. If not, I recommend one or the grab and go places in the same terminal.

Awesome place to relax while waiting for the flight

The name now is wondering tiki. 18$ for a drink. No wonder they do not put the price. Slow service. No wonder it is empty with the terminal full.

Multicolor furniture offsets the color scheme of the food. Everything is brown. Tried to order one of five cocktails, only to be informed that they could only make one. On the food menu, food no longer on the menu is just crossed off, like they couldn't afford to print new ones despite high prices and a captive audience. Much like Sammy Hagar himself, this may have been a good place at one point, but is now old and ready to be retired.

One star for customer service. You sit down for 20 min nobody approaches you...no waitress / waiter to be seen. This is an airport people don't have hours to wait. 4 couples got up and left at the same time with me. When I approached a bartender he looked at me like I had 5 heads when I asked him who is taking orders. Ridiculous

Usual airport fare.

I'm giving this one star because I literally can't do anything else lower than a one star. This place is awful!!! Came here with my family, sat down and took us 15 minutes of not getting served for him to tell us to go to another place to eat. All other places were packed so we came back thinking it'll be better second time around....no way. The ONE waiter for 25 tables told us no, he won't serve us because we have to wait our turn. Avoid this place at all costs! Spend money elsewhere because this place is horrible and the waiter is rude!!! Who staffs a restaurant in an airport with ONE waiter?!?!
The worst place ever. I have never ever experienced worse service then here! 40 minute wait with 4 kids and the guy said, you have to wait your turn!!!

This place is so bad. Terrible attitudes from staff (they basically ignore you), incredibly high prices, gross food... And they close at 9pm! I've been watching them turn away dozens of people because they're technically closed. They're a bunch of late flights at this terminal and everyone leaves pissed off. Sammy - you suck.

My gate was right next to this place and since I hate airplane food we stopped here to grab something to eat and of course a couple of drinks. I got the chicken fingers since I wasn't super hungry and a glass of wine. The food is decent and usually I don't expect much from an airport restaurant. The bartender/waiter was nice and came around often enough for us not to miss our flight.

Avoid if you can. Spend the extra money on a different place or just get something to go. Sat at the bar because I was at the airport a few hours before my international flight. Service was excruciatingly slow. Bartender was closing up the bill of the people next to me, but failed to give me a menu or anything for a while. Had to ask for one. Order the chicken tenders because there was literally nothing else that looked appetizing. Regrets for picking this place.

Unfortunately this lovely ambience of a decor, as tacky as it met be, is the best part of this forsaken Bar and Grill. Even McDonald's is better.
