The downside is the experience. The line takes forever to move, and for an airport spot that should be quick and convenient, the wait feels way too long. On top of that, seating is almost nonexistent. After finally getting your food, it’s frustrating to walk around trying to find anywhere to sit down and eat comfortably.
Overall, the food is good, but the long wait times and lack of seating make it more of a hassle than it should be. A decent stop if you have the patience, but not the smoothest airport dining experience.
My experience began at the counter, where I inquired about the menu only to be met with the most stunning indifference. The cashier seemed actively inconvenienced by my existence and offered zero explanation of the “product” I was ordering. I ended up with what can only be described as a mysterious, unidentified substance: a bun with chicken. At a place famous for hot dogs, this was the first sign that I had entered an alternate, terrible reality.
The accompanying side of fries was, frankly, an insult. Not only were they still cold on the inside, but they possessed a stunning and uniform lack of flavor—a total absence of salt, seasoning, or any discernible connection to the potato. They were not “underdone”; they were aggressively raw and pale, the kind of texture one expects from a damp sponge.
To cap off this dreadful transaction, the staff seemed determined to cement their reputation as the most unhelpful and unfriendly crew in the service industry. They move with the energy of people who have forgotten joy and now wish to inflict the same misery upon their customers.
Do not, under any circumstance, spend your time or money here. AVOID at all costs. You have been warned.
Took about 10 minutes to get the order.
It’s 7:00 am on a Saturday morning and there’s no one in the airport. I’m looking for some hot coffee because the place is over airconditioned. I spy the Nathan’s next to gate D37 and notice that there’s an actual grill behind the counter. Hotdogs are already warming up. “Hot damn,” I think. “I could get a decent, non-microwaved breakfast sandwich here!”
I order sausage, egg and cheese on an english muffin and a large coffee. The sandwich is $6.50, but the coffee sets me back another $5.00. A desulatory employee (she’s probably the Nathan’s equivalent of a barista) hands me a small, empty cup and points me at an industrial-style Bunn coffee machine. Judging from the trickle that comes out, the pot was made several hours ago and is down to the dregs.
And then I wait. There are 5 employees behind the counter, no one in line, and yet no one seems to be doing anything. There’s also a manager in the back who I can see fussing with a computer. I look at the 8 small tables out front. Four are piled with trash. I can hear my old man grousing, “If you have time to lean, you have time to clean.” It’s obvious no one at this Nathan’s has ever met Dad.
After a few minutes, I’m beginning to wonder. When is someone going to grill up those fresh eggs and sausage? That’s when the only employee who seems to be doing anything reaches into a warming drawer and pulls out a frozen egg-puck and a pasty colored sausage patty. If the English muffin was toasted, it was only by radiation from the nearby microwave.
Tepid, tasteless, trash.
Shame on you, Nathan’s. You had the grill, plenty of staff, and the time to make a decent breakfast–good, even, by airport standards. And you didn’t even try.
And shame on me. I should have known better.
