Stopped by the Africa Lounge mainly to grab a quick snack and watch some football during a Sunday afternoon. The lounge was quiet, which was nice, but that’s largely because it’s located in a less busy part of the airport. Service was neutral. Nothing wrong, but nothing welcoming or memorable either. The food options were very basic and didn’t feel justified given how expensive access is. Overall, the experience felt more functional than enjoyable. Seating was comfortable enough, and the TVs made it easy to follow the game without distractions. Still, there wasn’t anything that made me want to stay longer than necessary.

Stopped by Africa Lounge while waiting for our flight at SEA. It was a great spot to kill some time!
• Atmosphere: A very cosy, dimly lit interior. It’s a nice, quiet escape from the bright and busy terminal.
• Service: Exceptional. We had a very happy waiter who did his best to entertain us and make our visit enjoyable.
• Food: The taste was good and the fries were nice and crispy. My only critique is that the fish was a little too greasy, but overall it was a decent meal.
• Price: At around $30 per person, it is very affordable for an airport and offers great value for the money.

Pretty average meal, enjoyed the fries more than the burger as it was mostly bun. I got the salmon burger nothing extra added on it and the only choice for sides is fries. I also got a non-alcoholic IPA. The beer was $8 and the burger was $26; ridiculous especially for a non-alcoholic beer. Service was just okay, I asked for ice water with lemon and received flat water. Prices were not disclosed on the drinks ahead of time but most anything is better than flat room temperature water. Not worth the price at all! I also asked for my check and waited at least ten minutes while every other table was serviced. I understand it’s the airport but prices don’t match the quality at all nor was the service over the top. It’s all cashless and I had to ask for a printed receipt to see what my total was or I was asked to pay right from a handheld device without seeing the itemized total. Would not come back.

If you like hair in your good this is the place. Worst part is they didn’t even apologize. Just tried to remake burger. Of course I told them to keep it. Zoom in and you will see the hair. Stay away. Actual date this happened was 11/9. Haven’t had time to post

I have to start by saying that the service at this airport restaurant was excellent. Our server, Sunder, was warm and helpful; he made us feel welcome and found us a table that had an outlet within reach (per our request). The food was flavourful and cooked well – the salmon, fish, and chips were neither overdone nor undercooked. I should note that what they served us as “jollof rice” was an iteration so far removed from the original that it can no longer fairly bear its name. If you were told that you were going to be served grilled salmon and cumin rice though, I think you would have enjoyed your meal. Their beer selection though not especially large covers several styles/preferences and those made by Mac And Jacks brewing were very good.

This was some of the best airport food I’ve ever had! The sambusas were tender and flavorful, the jollof rice that accompanied them was spicy, and the plantains were perfectly cooked. The lettuce on the Caesar salad was impeccable and the dressing was served on the side. The service was gracious and so pleasant.

Joanna was very nice as we arrived and told us immediately it was last call for breakfast prior to switching to lunch so we were able to get our breakfast orders in. This was very nice as some of us wanted breakfast! The service was great, food was excellent and the navel may be one of the best I’ve ever had! She kept us taken care of and we enjoyed sitting here while waiting for our boarding time and eating. Left feeling satisfied and taken care of!

We had breakfast here while waiting for our flight, and I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the chicken fried steak breakfast, and it was absolutely delicious — easily one of the best I’ve had. I usually don’t expect much from airport food, but this meal exceeded my expectations.
The chicken fried steak was hot, flavorful, and perfectly cooked and light. The gravy was rich and tasty, and together, they made for a great combo. I really appreciated that the batter wasn’t overdone or hard — just right. I eat a lot of chicken fried steak for breakfast in my lifetime and only bother posting reviews when it’s a solid 5/5. This one definitely was.
To top it off, the service was excellent. Our server was friendly and attentive, checking in on us regularly and keeping our water glasses full. Overall, a very satisfying breakfast experience!

Ignore the haters, this is a great spot! Prompt, friendly service and delicious food! We loved the sambusas and cheesecake. Fun decor and details, too. Definitely recommend.

The Seattle airport food options are pretty disappointing for an airport of this size, at least on the domestic gates. Africa Lounge is probably the best option. Service was friendly and the salmon plate was delicious and fresh. Would return next time I go through SEA airport.
