Star of the show is Carl, bartender and the life of the party. Had a flight out and stopped by quickly for some food and drinks, while the food was subpar, he made the experience much more enjoyable. A captivating personality with countless jokes and outgoing personality, led to a comfortable evening before departure. Recommend stopping by the bar and listening to his welcoming attitude and jovial character. You won't be disappointed.

Standard airport fare, hostess wanted to seat me outside the restaurant rather than at a comfortable booth. The furniture had torn upholstery, service was slow, my water glass had a mystery sauce smeared on it. The good news is that my ribeye was a solid medium rare and tender. The waiter attempted some service recovery but back of house sent the wrong sauce out after the dirty glass. This place needs work for a $75 steak!

Hubby and I came here for breakfast since we arrived at the airport early. This restaurant is inside Terminal 5. It was not bad because we knew what to get: bagel and lox. Order this while you're still in NY. We had a waitress named Cash helping us with our order, although ordering via a scan code is easy. We also had two Sunnyside eggs. We liked it here better than getting food at the kiosk because we could sit comfortably here rather than eating at the gate while waiting for the plane. Nice experience.

With a 90-minute delay I needed a place to eat and this was probably going to be my only meal for the day. The place looked nice, so I thought I would give it a try without looking anything up. Going to the desk and asking for a table came back with the reply that they would open at 11:00 AM. Well, since that was ten minutes from now we could wait. Oh, but I could get you a seat while you wait. Okay... why was that even a discussion point? Anyway... The menu seemed good, and I went for the Grilled Chicken BLT Club - thick bacon, lettuce, tomato, BBQ mayo sourdough bread with the Hummus and pita to start. The hummus was a little too loose but at least it still worked for me. The Grilled Chicken BLT however, was a bigger challenge. Overall, the taste was okay, but the chicken was a little overdone to the point where if there was a personal threat in the area I could probably have used it to defend myself. Otherwise, it does have nice open seating, and it is located right as you enter Terminal 5. I just wish it was as good as it looked.

Affordability doesn't come to mind when dining in an airport, but $17 for a mimosa?! Our party of five sat at the bar to grab some drinks and food before our flight. The bartender asked, "this is going to be on one tab, right?" But it seemed to be more of a rhetorical question. We asked for a menu and she pointed at the QR code. As we began ordering from our separate phones (hence separate orders) the bartender was visibly annoyed. Overall, not great service, but I do understand we are here for convenience/location.

I'm surprised by the low ratings/reviews. Maybe we got lucky, but we seriously had really tasty and hot (temperature wise) fish and chips and the steak burger was juicy and cooked a perfect medium. Our server was friendly and kind. Would definitely eat here again when at JFK terminal 5. The atmosphere is nice too for an airport restaurant. Doesn't feel like you're in the airport and it's secluded from the noisy food court area that's right outside.

The omelette was watery and just bad. The chicken sausage was awful. Skip this restaurant

Food was expensive as to be expected in an airport. That being said the smoke burger was delicious. The flat iron steak was excellent. Grilled perfectly! If you're wallet can handle the cost it was worth it

We were stuck in the airport with our flight delayed so we decided to grab a bite. We ordered the fried calamari and I had a burger and fries and my girlfriend had the Turkey burger. Unfortunately, the calamari and fries were way too salty for my taste and the burger was just ok. I really wasn't expecting much but it was ok, hence the 3 stars. The waitress was nice and quick.

At 5:30 AM, the options for a hot breakfast are limited at this terminal. 5ive Steak (pronounced "Five-Ive?" That can't be right) will do though. It's not cheap, but it's also not bad. I think the food can politely and honestly be described as a bit dry, but serviceable. Our server did a great job getting our food and the check to us quickly so we would not miss our flight. And, if you're the kind of person who enjoys eating an omelet and sipping coffee while watching panicked travelers sprint around an airport terminal, this expansive dining area has you covered.

Normally, I don't expect much at an airport, and I hate the prices... But this place was definitely worth it! Burger I had was delicious, but the real star was the chopped salad. I would eat that every day, it was so tasty and fresh. Delicious apple vinaigrette, lots of tomatoes and feta cheese... There was an up charge to substitute salad instead of french fries, and it was totally worth it. Shout out to Kamini -- so sweet and helpful, she definitely added to my very pleasant experience here. Overall the service was friendly and fast, very nice open environment, loved it. I would go back next time I'm at JFK!

I don't believe any of the 5 star reviews. The food is OK at best. The burger was ordered medium and came well done. The fries were stale as if they had been made several hours ago. They make you pay and tip upfront. If you're stuck and already having a bad day, this place won't make you happy. I'm thinking of changing airlines and getting out of the food dessert that is the JetBlue terminal at JFK

I think this photo of their chicken club sandwich speaks for itself. This place is horrible. I would give this place a zero if I could. Bread tasted two weeks old and chicken was horrendous. Bacon was ok. So basically I paid $22.00 for some limp bacon and fries.

My mom and I both ordered the Kid's grilled cheese meal for $12.99, which comes with a side of fries or a salad and a drink. The fries were very delicious! American cheese for a grilled cheese.

No one is expecting world class steak at 5ive, but the ones who are desperate enough to chance it (#1) may find themselves in for a rude awakening. I've been disappointed over and over, and because of my disdain for the food court, I have found my way back here in hopes they've improved. It's been nothing but perpetual disappointment. The steaks are rarely (#2) cooked the way I've wanted them. They've either come out well done, medium well, but never like the rare I want. It's been the same with the burgers, which have been either too salty or tough. I've only managed to order the cowboy steak and filet mignon, which have both been mediocre at best. Breakfast is a different yet similar result. I thought breakfast couldn't possibly be messed up (#3) and even then it's bland or very unmemorable. The salads have been a tough sell as has been their seafood options. And of course, everything is airport pricey, which is already a semi-turn off. However, the only thing that hasn't been a 1 star has been the service. They've been much better than the food and probably a big part of my return / hope for improvement. I can stomach good food with bad service at most places, but it's tough when it's the other way around here. _____________ (#1) Which includes yours truly. Multiple times. (#2) This is both a pun and sadly, the truth. (#3) Eggs are always the benchmark.

Service was so bad im gonna make a yelp account to give one star Our server cindy didnt check up on us at all, i ordered a bacon cheese burger except they forgot the bacon while my mom ordered a salad and eggs, with bread, execpt they forgot the salad and bread. The spot i ate at wasnt cleaned iether and there were tons of crumbs on our table and our server cindy at one point said "your food will be out in a few minites" then i waited another half a hour. Our food took a hour to come and it was all wrong. 1/10 would not reccomend cindy wasnt attentive at all iether.

Tough to get airport food right I guess since so many get bad reviews. However you can get people right and the all the folks working here are very nice! Flight got delayed they got my food and service done right. Definitely the best choice in Terminal 5.

Not much to write about considering it's airport food. I got the impossible burger, and it came with fries. The burger was mediocre but I needed something quick before I got on my flight. The three stars is for the bartender/server because she was super polite and patient.

Excellent service very prompt. The food was freshly made. Worth going and relaxing waiting for your flight.

I'm not sure why it's this way, prob since Covid and to simplify things, but no restaurant should ever make you pay before you get your food and TIP during your phone order. Airport prices for a chicken Caesar salad ($24), five dollar ice tea and almost $6 tip. Chicken was dry. Food runner forgot about my order, and since they've already collected their tip, no need to check on you, etc. I would avoid if possible.

The absolute worst freaking food I had in my life. If you're starving at the airport just stay starving. Absolute worst tasting calamari and steak I ever ate in my life. The only decent thing was Caesar salad. How can you fuck up lettuce ?!

Service was great! 5/5 tbh. Food: Calamari fritti was ok. All the calamari was super salty but the lemon juice did help to cut the saltiness somewhat. Crispy 5ive steak burger was good. I ordered a well done burger and the patty wasn't dry which was nice. My only problem with the burger is that it came with no sauce on the burger. It was plain and very ordinary with any sauce. Also it came with a singular tomato which I thought was kinda stingy. Also the frozen fries were what you would expect. Floppy, no crisp, bland, boring. Some fries were heavily salted, some were just bland. I probably won't stop by again.

The epitome of overcharged airport food. The steak that cost $57 dollar wasn't even cooked at temperature. The ambience was of class, but the knife on my table was plastic.

Pretty bad. Asked for a medium flank steak - both were cooked to oblivion. The steak had no seasoning whatsoever and tasted a little off. There was an oily green tasteless thing in a plastic cup. Maybe the green vegetable oil was so the steak could be swallowed? The wedge salad had, well, a Kroger chunk-o-lettuce and some sliced grape tomatoes and store-bought Kraft blue cheese dressing. If that was Maytag blue cheese, it's because the fridge was made by Maytag. The fries were good. The waiter was really nice. The ketchup packet garnish really set off the green oil. $65

Highly not recommending this place to stop and get rest after flight. Be ready to wait your french fry for 25 min. After I finish my fry waiter guy came and asked me to leave the table because he need to clean it and prep for next costumer. i didn't even finished my drink. I want to mention that more that half of there table were free. Also VERY pricy place.

The food is really good for an airport restaurant. Portion sizes are perfect for filling you up before or after a flight. The service was also really fast. The ambiance is also surprisingly good too. This may be a go-to restaurant at JFK for me.

Service is terrible. It took almost an hour for us to get a salad and chicken tenders. Would not recommend unless you have hours to burn.

Ordered the Hamburger. Bear Bones burger. Bun, meat ,a slice of tomato, & lettuce leaf! No sauce, no mayo, no mustard, no pickle, or onion slice. Nice size meat patty. Cooked to by order. Came with French fries. $19 or so. Fries were okey, but no a winner. I ate about half. Boring meal. I should have gone to Burger King, just couldn't fine one.

Good ambiance but Ordered an omelet and it was burnt. the eggs in the breakfast sandwich tasted rubbery, and the food was over priced. the main problem is that they make you pay for the meal and tip before you get your food so If you are not happy with the food or service you are out of luck.

No menus. You scan the barcode and place an order from your table. Then they add gratuities and charge before service and food. Then it's downhill from there.

Too much foreign objects (ingredients I didn't order) were in my food and the eggs were horrible because I asked for scrambled soft I had burnt eggs. They said Home Fried Potatoes but more like Potato O'Brien.

The steak tastes like they tried to make it taste bad. There's ZERO seasoning on the $60 steak. We had appetizers that were AWESOME. The wings, Caesar salad and caprese were so great. Margarita was really good for an airport drink. Don't get the steak. Our service was awesome but we watched the next table wait 30 mins for someone to take their drink order.

It's a steakhouse. At an airport. Temper your expectations. Not sure if why'd you'd order an expensive steak here, but I ordered the flat iron steak and it was surprisingly great and exactly what I wanted. Came with great fries and I really liked the chimichuri. Wine was fine, but they had a heavy pour which is always appreciated before a long flight. I'll deff be back.

If you ever wondered what it would feel like having successfully cleared security only to be rectally violated shortly afterwards, then you should try your luck at 5ive Steak. I sat down at a table, waited a little while for a menu. Had to wait a little longer to order. In hindsight this turned out to be a good thing because at first I was going to order a rib eye steak. But at nearly $50 and a burger being priced at around $16 I thought to myself, you are at an airport, better to order a $16 burger and be unhappy than to order a $50 steak and be unhappy. The server finally came, I ordered my burger and he said there is a 30 minute wait for a burger. I checked the clock, confirmed that works for my schedule and told the waiter 30 minutes is fine. Didn't think much of my order until the order for the gentleman sitting next to arrived. He is clearly unhappy, as his burger arrived with American cheese instead of cheddar. And then it hit me, I don't eat burgers, I eat cheeseburgers. I don't recall selecting the cheese for my burger because the waiter never asked me. And he didn't ask me how I wanted the burger cooked either. My burger arrived in 20 minutes, without any cheese and was medium rare. Not at all what I wanted. I didn't make a scene, I didn't complain. My seat is at the back of the airplane and if the burger being too rare was going to make me sick, I'm only 3 steps from the restroom. I get halfway thru my burger and decide this experience really annoyed me to the point that I want to write this review, but I can't because my fingers are covered in moo blood and somehow there are no napkins on my table. At this point I'm about ready to blow a gasket, but I remain calm because I don't want the cabin crew for my flight to think I should be deplaned. Final total with a soda was just over $21. At least the french fries were hot and the refills were free.

They have you pay and tip before you get the food because the food is bland and the service is non existent. Don't waste your money here
