Lark Creek Grill

Lark Creek Grill at San Francisco Bruno Airport was a wonderful surprise and easily one of the best dining options I found in any US airport. I ordered the salmon—grilled perfectly—along with chicken breast and swapped the rice for extra vegetables on the side. The salmon blended beautifully with the creamy mushroom white sauce described on their menu, making for a rich yet balanced dish. I paid around $60 including tip, and I left feeling full and very satisfied. Honestly, I don’t understand the low ratings some give it due to price. Compared to other airport food options I’ve had in the US, this is great value for the quality and the experience. Sure, there are cheaper, simpler options, but here you get high-quality ingredients and a proper sit-down setting—not just grab-and-go. My server Tracy added to the experience with her lively, positive, and attentive service. She’s clearly an asset to the restaurant and made my meal even better.

One of the most ridiculous service experiences I’ve ever had. Won’t be back. The host was friendly, but it all went downhill after I sat down. I wanted the half chicken dish, but the side items listed for it on the menu seemed a bit odd. The server (never offered his name, but he was a tall East Asian man in a mask) failed to help me understand the overall set up/flavor profile and even seemed a little annoyed that I asked, so I just asked for the pickled onions to be on the side. Easy fix for everyone. Before I even had a water on the table, this server not only brings a side bowl of onions out — Uh… Okay?? I did not ask for them early, just on the side — but he also set the bowl down on the opposite side of the table from me (see image). I thought maybe it was a fluke, but then he sat the wine I ordered down in the same spot! Later he’d do the same for my water, then a straw, which he flung on that side of the table instead of handing to me. I had nothing in front of me on the table except my phone, and definitely not a force field. At this point it felt legitimately disrespectful in a super passive aggressive way, and if that was his intent I have no clue how we got off on the wrong foot. The vibe was now completely off and I was wishing I had just gone to Burger King up the hall. To boot, that table faces a dirty dish drop area that was piling up in the open instead of being taken to the dish pit, so flies were also dining in with us. In fact, a fly found its way over to those random onions at the other edge of the table. Gross. So I asked the host to move me to the bar side on the opposite end. There were a pair of 2-seater booths open that would’ve been perfect, but the host suggested I sit at a high top counter connected to a wall under the TV. ???? There was no line and the place was maybe 70% full, but for some reason he acted like he couldn’t give me what looked like the best seat in the house for a party of one. Okay fine. At least there were easy reach outlets to charge my phone, no filthy dishes or flies to look at, and no weird server. The countertop is probably fine if every other table is taken but you’re hungry or in a hurry, however, I wanted to actually relax after a busy trip and ahead of a 5 hour red eye. Instead I felt like I was in timeout since all I could see was the wall under the TV. I should’ve asked to move again but I didn’t wanna feel like trouble and overcomplicate what was shaping out to be a high stress experience. While the rest of the crew seemed nice and professional enough, that server gets a 0/10 for me. And we just need the friendly host to make more mindful decisions for guest comfort as far as where to seat people. Food was okay, pretty mid. Needed more seasoning. Plenty better options in SFO.

Wat creek Grill is an excellent restaurant and the airport location is nice but not quite up to the same standards. It is obviously more pricey because they have to pay airport rent, but it is a nice place to hang out if you have a little time to kill. The best thing about it used to be that you could get some of your bill paid if you were a Priority Pass member, but this has changed. If you are a paid Priority Pass member, meaning you pay the several hundred dollars a year to Priority Pass to get your membership, this is still true. But if you get a Priority Pass membership through credit card, then they have removed the option for restaurant dining from these memberships.

I was absolutely surprised by the quality of the food: I never expect much from airport restaurants, but everything I had was top quality and some of the best food I had in a while. Portions were quite generous, and all the staff were efficient and kind, especially my waitress Virginia. Definitely try the Half Pan Roasted Chicken: crispy, juicy , and amazing flavor. Whoever came up with the recipe is a culinary genius!

First my server was terrific however, I ordered the nachos with the ad on the ground beef. A check menu is very carefully for the ingredients and it did not say there were jalapeños in these nachos. Pico de gallo, however another item listed pico De and had a separate listing for jalapeños. At the end of the day I gave up after about six bites. She did offer to replace it for me, but by that point I wasn’t going to be able to eat anything I asked for a discount and receive 15% so that was a very expensive few bites

Lark Creek Grill – San Francisco Airport Surprisingly satisfying airport breakfast spot! Had the classic breakfast plate and it did not disappoint. The scrambled eggs were rich, fluffy, and perfectly cooked—creamy without being runny. The breakfast potatoes were a standout: golden, crispy on the outside, and tossed with just the right touch of herbs and bell peppers for freshness. Bacon was thick and crisp, a good contrast to the soft eggs. Toast was basic white but fresh, served with jam and butter. Nothing fancy, but it hit the spot. Service was quick and efficient despite the busy airport setting. Nice touch of natural light and calm atmosphere made for a relaxing pre-flight meal. Would definitely come back if flying out of SFO again.

I have to tell everyone, for your safety, I just see one off the cooks cut with the same knife and in the same table chicken, tuna, and strawberries with out cleaning the table or the knife, he just wipe with a dirty rag every time he used the same rag to clean the cutting table and knife. I talk to the manager I do not think it will help, just be careful eating there cross contamination is dangers

Good service and pretty good ambiance for an airport. The burger was very good; cooked appropriately to my order. I added bacon and Swiss cheese ($4 each add on) and it was quite tasty Fries were okay at best; not worth finishing The cake was thin on flavor, mostly tasted like Hershey syrup. For airport food it was good; without drinks it cost me $60 after tax and tip (they charge 5% on top of everything for their employees)
