Crowns LAX

If you're passing through LAX and need a quick bite and a cold beer, Crowns is a solid stop. The food comes out quick, the beer is ice cold, and it’s a nice place to recharge before your next flight. Staff are friendly and efficient, even while juggling guests who treat the seating like a free lounge without ordering anything. Despite that, the team keeps things moving with a good attitude. Definitely worth a visit if you're looking for something casual and quick without sacrificing quality.

It was absolutely the BEST lobster roll I've ever had. The chips were a great side, adding a little salt and crunch to the perfect sandwich. Yes, it was the most expensive item on the menu, but for once, I was not disappointed, wishing I had chosen something else. The downside (loss of one star) was a lack of acknowledgement that I was waiting to be seated in a line that was steadily growing. Not even ONE glance from an employee for a full ten minutes. Tables were emptying, and no one was bussing. Once seated, I had friendly service. But my joy was limited because I had spent too much time waiting for lunch rather than enjoying it. A caution to those in this terminal (Gates 46-49). There is only one restaurant, which does have a to-go window, one sundries shop (the line was 20 people long before my flight), and one set of restrooms. It's an isolated area, so you may want to pick up incidentals (snacks, drinks, etc.) on your way to this area of the airport. If you have extra time, do plan to enjoy the lobster roll!!

Came here with my mom for dinner before our 5 hr flight. This was the only source of food in the entire upstairs terminal for American Airlines so we had no other choice but to sit here. First off, our waitress Sherry was a doll, great waitress, great energy. However, the rest of our experience at this restaurant was utterly horrible. Respectfully, they need a new chef or the chef needs to put care into the meals. We ordered the Cali flatbread which has bbq tri tip, arugula, and pickled onions. The pizza was barely cooked, the bbq sauce you couldn’t even taste, the arugula was wilted and looked old, and the pickled onions had zero flavor. Thank God we also ordered a buratta salad which was the only good thing at this place other than our waitress, but even then the bread it came with wasn’t even toasted. Not to mention the music playlist needs some serious help. They played rap/hip hop from the 90s which felt like we were in a weho bar. Just very strange and off putting for any kind of meal experience. The prices were outrageous for the quality you actually get and should be reviewed and reduced 💯. Furthermore when you’re the only restaurant offered at a terminal for people there needs to be a much more extended menu, at least offer a burger or a steak, something with substance. The music should be something of the 2000-2010’s even top 40 would’ve sufficed. John Mayer, One Republic, Coldplay, even Goo Goo Dolls, but not Snoop Dog and Lil Wayne. I never leave reviews but this was outrageous and I hope for the good of all, that these comments can help make this place up to standards of a restaurant, especially being the only option for people to get a bite before a long flight where they miss meals. Thank you

This was the only restaurant open in the terminal, so if you want to get a table, make sure to walk all the way down toward the bar area where the servers seat guests. We learned this the hard way and initially waited near the entrance, which caused a bit of unnecessary frustration. Shared the BBQ Sando with chips, and I have to be honest—both the sandwich and the overall experience fell short. The service was disappointingly slow; it took forever to get any refills, and to make matters worse, our food arrived before our drinks, even though we ordered water and a soda. It felt like we were left waiting for ages, with little attention from the staff. Honestly, if you're just looking for a quick sandwich and chips, you might be better off bringing your own or exploring other options. Unfortunately, this visit left a lot to be desired in terms of service and quality, and I probably won't be rushing back.

Angelica was awesome. She did an outstanding job with providing best in class customer service. She was very professional and attentive to providing the best service. I will continue to stop and eat here when i travel.

Really trying to push the boundaries of what they can charge for mediocre airport food. Trapped in a terminal where they have a monopoly on food service you literally have no other option unless you plan ahead. Hope you enjoy your $43 undersized lobster roll!

Marquita helped us tremendously through our many delays! She was such a pleasure to talk to and her service was impeccable!!

Is conveniently located by Gates 46, etc. Lavaza coffee and a danish was all i had and it was alright. Staff seems friendly and enjoying good comradery.
