“ We got the best service from Lance. He was a delight. The crispy onions served with the burger really elevated lunch. ”
“ Best place to eat in an airport! We had a lot of time before our flight and this place was right next to our gate. The restaurant is very nicely decorated. It's classy and upscale. Lots of crown moulding and beautiful wood trimming. The menu is very big! It's great to have options when dining in the airport! We were sat pretty quickly considering there was a line waiting to ask for a seat. We were sat right next to the kitchen which I wasn't too crazy about but I don't think my husband even noticed. He ordered the seared tuna for an entree and the shrimp cocktail as an appetizer. I ordered the salmon for lunch. My husband LOVED his tuna! It was perfect. I really liked my salmon too. It was a delicious, healthy choice. Set on a bed of wilted spinach and came with a lemon wedge, it was very tasty. We each had a glass of wine as well. Our bill was a little over $200 after tip, so it can be a bit pricey but we would definitely go here again. The only issue I had was that after finishing my wine you could see that it was dirty. It still had red wine stains in it. I used to work in the restaurant industry and I know the glasses just go into a dishwasher; but as an upscale restaurant you have to check the glasses! You cannot give your customers glasses with lipstick stains on them or a glass that looks dirty in any other way. The dishwasher doesn't always do the best job. ”
“ **No longer on Priority Pass if you have PP via Amex, CapOne or Chase Sapphire** In 4-5 morning visits over the past ~18 months, generally found the food and service to be fine (the breakfast burger is kind of a disaster, but maybe in a good way depending on what you did the night before). HOWEVER, if you're going there because of the $28 Priority Pass credit, and you have PP via Amex, CapOne or Chase Sapphire, you NO LONGER have the benefit at Bobby Van's JFK (learned this on my 10/15/24 visit). So there's that... Too bad because there really aren't many (any?) viable restaurant options in terminal 8. ”
“ Priority Pass offers fewer and fewer options in JFK these days, lounge-wise, but I've been able to use the benefit at Bobby Van's a few times when flying internationally out of Terminal 8. I probably wouldn't order steak here but I've been perfectly happy to get a cocktail and plate of fries (something that could ostensibly be called 'girl dinner'). Service is generally efficient, friendly if not warm, and professional. They know that some people might be in a hurry and some people are ready to linger on a longer stopover, and they seem to gauge the vibe accordingly. Would I come here if it weren't my 'only' option in this terminal for Priority Pass? Definitely not! But the cocktails are made fairly potently and the fries are on the soggier side of acceptable, certainly remediated by ketchup and some generous slugs of Tabasco (try it!). ”
