"Outdoor patio area is a great addition on a sunny day! Barrel House Brewing tent opens at 10:30am. Grab a Big Sur double IPA before your flight. The macaroni salad is pretty good. Prices are not horrible."

"Ella in the cafe was amazing! Ella was the only one working. It was very busy. Ella stayed calm and went back and forth between food and drinks. Her attitude was commendable! Complete Rockstar!"

"These bad reviews make no sense to me. Fantastic food and friendly staff. They have a superb breakfast burrito, an amazing veggie wrap, and tons of local options made with local ingredients. Plus an outdoor beer garden (!!!) Most airport food places are garbage but this is an absolute diamond in the rough and we are so LUCKY to have it at a 6-gate airport!!!"
