“BLTs Jj Goode, updated; New York Times, August 3, 2026 A BLT for any season, this version doesn’t depend on the perfect tomato, nor bacon with pedigree, for that matter. Instead, it leans on a few details that can elevate the lowliest ingredients. Slathering one side of bread with mayo and griddling it gives supermarket white a crackling veneer, while leaving the rest suitably soft and squishy. Sprinkling the tomato with salt and letting it sit a while helps the seasoning penetrate. Baking the bacon leaves it stick-straight (so the sandwich is less likely to topple), while pulling it from the oven before it’s fully crisp keeps it a little fatty. A slab of iceberg — cut crosswise from the whole head (preferably from the center) — is a game-changer, ensuring the sandwich's structural integrity and delivering exceptional crunch. Whenever I have a bad day and don’t know what to eat. Where do I go? Al’s Diner. Why? Because the BLT sandwich there is made exactly as described above. The method is a version assimilated from the best. The white bread is perfectly toasted with lots of mayonnaise. The bacon is perfectly grilled so that it is juicy and crisp. The tomato is a huge slice, just firm enough and the lettuce is several layers of the iceberg variety. Our favorite server seats us in our favorite place when we appear! We feel better as soon as we take the first bite!!“

“Amazing Pizza“

“Maybe we were just really exhausted from a day full of flight delays, and maybe we got lucky that it wasn’t super busy, but this place really hit the spot. We were seated immediately at the bar and the bartender was so lovely, she‘s very good at her job. Our food came quick, the cocktails were good. Exactly what we needed after a long day of traveling. A bit pricey of course, but nothing unsurprising for an airport, and I definitely think the food was worth the price. The wings especially: we were seated for 20+ minutes and they were still crispy even though they were well-coated with sauce. Tender and juicy inside too, and the wings themselves were a good size.
Would definitely recommend this place.“

“The pizzas fantastic but food isn't what makes restraunts special, the people do. Our server was absolutely amazing, attentive, and a high quality experience. This was the first time pizza was actively delt off a tray to the people instead of being given to you and walking away. Small attention to detail really goes a long way.“

“La nourriture etait excellente. Le service etait incroyable! La jeune fille etait super gentille, professionnelle et adorable! Quelle belle soirée!“

“Went for a late breakfast, almost lunch. Ordered meal items and the portions were huge and wonderful. The staff were all very kind and checked in with us but, weren't intrusive. Had enough food left over we took it to go. I think our severs name was Nico, he was very kind and the price was very good for the large portions. I would recommend and I would return.“
