About Ninth & Pike

Ninth & Pike is a convenient dining option for travelers with Priority Pass, located in Concourse C next to gates C10. The restaurant offers a simple menu, including sandwiches, chowder, and snacks, as well as a bar. The clam chowder is a highlight, though some find it a little too thick, almost like a stew or gravy, but with a good amount of clams and other ingredients. Other popular items include the onion rings, chicken panini, and margherita pizza, though they can be a bit salty. The chocolate chip cookie is solid but could be warmer and crispier. The service is friendly but can be slow, especially for hot foods like pizza. The space is small and busy, typical of SeaTac airport, making it hard to find a table. Prices are on the higher side, but with Priority Pass, customers can enjoy a meal without additional out-of-pocket costs. Breakfast options like bagels are also available, served hot and fresh.

Recent reviews mention friendly staff, though some customers felt they were treated with little respect and found staff to be annoyed when asking about orders. Despite this, the food quality was appreciated, especially the clam chowder, which many would return for. The shrimp po' boy sandwich is considered overpriced, but the chowder is thick and flavorful without being overloaded with potatoes. The vegetarian soup and flatbread received praise for their quality, surprising some customers with their freshness. The restaurant is known for fast service and a relaxing atmosphere, making it a good spot before a flight. Overall, the restaurant remains a popular choice for airport dining, especially for those with Priority Pass.
