Had some drinks and the peirogies and keilbasa starter. Very good. Keilbasa was nicely grilled. Pierogies were too. I would say pierogies were a step above Mrs. T’s. Even though you’re near some of the best Polish food in Philly this’ll do.Service was attentive and very friendly. I’m sure staff has to deal with some nasty travelers all the time. They were great and I hope management recognizes this.

Genuinely shocked by how terrible the food is, especially considering that the place that is supposed to be owned by Food Network judge Michael Symon. Someone else’s review mentioned that it’s like cafeteria food which is a very accurate description. Although I’d correct it to say it’s DRY, BLAND, and FLAVORLESS cafeteria food.In addition to the below mediocre food, the woman who waited on us was extremely rude and clearly didn’t want to be at work that day. She served us gluten-containing food even after we told her about gluten allergies within our group. She didn’t apologize, just acted annoyed that she had to switch the order for the correct one. She had a terrible attitude the whole time we were there but we gave her a good tip anyway to give her the benefit of the doubt. She had the audacity to complain that the tip wasn’t big enough which was bizarre. I’m not sure who is in charge of hiring the people who work here, but it was truly a terrible experience all around and we won’t return. Saying this place serves cafeteria food is an insult to cafeteria’s. I’ve eaten at cafeteria’s that serve better food. This location is clearly just a cash cow to profit off overtired, hungry, desperate airline passengers. Michael Symon should be ashamed of this place.Vegetarian options: Staff misrepresents gluten-free and vegan options. I wouldn’t trust the ingredients here after our experience.Dietary restrictions: Wait staff will give you gluten containing food and tell you it’s gluten-free. Seriously dangerous. If you have allergies, avoid at all costs.

Breakfast was had. Potatoes perfect, eggs fine, should have gotten sausage well done, toast ok. Loved waitress she worked the room,,” Go Wild” good value for the airport. Wouldn’t get again . Would probably try something else

I was served at the bar. Chicken sandwich was hard and terrible. The man behind the bar counter started angrily slamming the card reader against the counter when it was time for me to pay and it was not working. Terrifying. Don’t recommend.

The food was good. Got a Philly Cheesesteak, parmesan fries, and lemonade. As with any airport location, the price was about double what it should be. Either way, I had a good lunch with my wife while waiting on my flight to Atlanta.Parking: This is an airport location.

$22.50 for a 9oz pour of cabernet, which was mediocre at best. Sorry but that is insane.

Cold fries, dirty water glass. Fried fish was clearly frozen not hand battered. Wildly overpriced.

Food was boring and bland, like a middle school cafeteria. The $15 grilled cheese was soggy and fries taste like they came from McDonald’s. Totally disappointed. If this Symon guy is a chef, he should throw in the towel. I’ve eaten better grilled cheeses at a fun fair. Were I not hungry and about to get on a plane, I would have sent it back with a note that said, I’m not paying, consider alternate career.Servers were friendly. And the view is nice.Grab a beer here, but eat ANYWHERE ELSE.

Absurdly, hilariously, offensively overpriced. But it's practically the only place, so what're you going to do?
For being a Michael Symon restaurant, this place is us mediocre at best. Omelet said diced fresh avocado. Got pre-made guacamole from a tub. Bacon in Omelet was pre cooked over a day ago, all stuck together, almost black and chewy AF. Arugula on top got frozen at some point because it was translucent. Toast was good and the "hashbrowns" aka diced potatoes were ok. Bloody mary decent for a pre made bottle mix. Bartender had no personality but was efficient. Other staff were just as impersonal. Been in the industry over 20 years so I can tell when what the menu says is not what you are served and when items have been store bought vs housemade or made days ahead of time. Unless your just wanting to drink and wait for your flight, skip the food.

Charged us $16 a peice for Jager. The bartender rang it as Henessy because "that's how it pours." We work in the industry, Hennessy is easily twice as expensive. I'm fine paying for already overpriced drinks, not being overcharged for what we didn't order. It's close to the gate but you're better off going somewhere else.

I recently visited Bar Symun in Philadelphia Airport and ordered a Philly cheesesteak with fries and a diet Pepsi. The cheesesteak was mostly bread, and the fries seemed like the bottom-of-the-bag scraps. The chili was okay, but the overall value for the price was questionable. The awkward silence from the hostess upon arrival and the inattentiveness of the waitress added to the less-than-ideal experience. A 3 out of 5 stars for this visit.
