Flying Dog Tap House

Listen, this probably my first airport restaurant review. And for good reason. It’s a tough crowd and they’re all dealing with mostly haters. Just stopped in for an app and some drinks. Beer was on point. Crab was excellent. And Nicole was a bright light in Baltimore—Southern hospitality came shining through. Thank you so much.

*Update after another visit: Stopped in at lunchtime (11:45am) and were seated at the last open table in the dining area. It was 15-min before our server came by to take drink orders, and another 18-min for those drinks to arrive. The kids were starving by the time food arrived another 10-min later. Food was great, but they botched my wife's special burger order of a BBQ bacon burger with no cheese (it came with just bacon and no BBQ). Since the server was moving at a glacial pace, we asked for the check before we were done the meal. Check was received 5-min later and it took another 5-min for her to run the card and get back the bill for signature. I'm glad we had almost 2-hrs before our flight was boarding because this lunch was way too long due to slow service. DO NOT EAT HERE IF YOU ARE IN ANY RUSH TO CATCH A FLIGHT! *First visit review below: Ate here for lunch with the family prior to our flight. The place was pretty empty when we sat at around 11am and service started off OK before trailing off as it got busier later. The food was pretty good but seemed pricier than it should, even by airport standards. The crab dip was small but tasty, and also needed more than 2 pretzel sticks with it. They had a kids menu but be aware that they don't have common kids' drinks like milk, chocolate milk, or apple juice. Our kids had to settle for lemonade and orange juice. My burger was ok but not great. The waffle fries were good and crispy. I'm glad we had plenty of time before our flight because the meal wasn't quick. It took a long time for our food to come out, and then also took a while to get the check and wait for the card to come back. We ended up using all of our buffer so it was time to board when we got to our gate. They need to add an option to order/pay at the table via QR code as many other airport restaurants do, but for now beware of trying to get a quick meal here if you have a flight soon.

Not your usual airport restaurant! Excellent drinks and burger! Top notch service, highly recommend the guava margarita… don’t let the prices scare you… it’s worth every penny!

I had an hour to kill & definitely was craving good food with substance. So happy that I found this place. The guys in the open kitchen were fun and like a well-oiled machine working together and having fun with the servers. The bartender was attentive & helpful with the menu. Definitely a stop for future layovers here. The Boss burger…so good. So glad that I gave up fried food or I may not have tasted the broccoli! Get that broccoli!

Amazing place! Best food I have had in a while, both outside or inside an airport. Crabby fries are the best! Soooo much crab. Worth the $21.

The beers were great. The service was horrible. We wanted a bar seat but ended up getting sat a a table. Our server was slow and angry. We asked for waters twice and it never came. I went to the bar to get it and the bartender made me feel like I was interrupting her. I guess if we would have eaten we would have been treated differently. Great beers though.

I stopped by prior to my flight. The food and service were great. I wanted a drink, but they didn't have good cocktail options. My waitress was amazing. Reasonably priced airport food.

Had a small dish on my way back. This is at the gate at BWI. It’s the nicest spot to have a bite to eat and wait for boarding. I had steak tips and they were delicious! However, the coffee was EXCELLENT!!! I’d return just for the coffee. The staff was attentive and friendly.
