Summer House Santa Monica

First time trying this place while waiting for my connection. Simple breakfast but was delicious. Kale and spinach omelette, chicken sausage, toast and hash brown with pineapple juice. Overall very good, and the sever was good though you order the food yourself and they bring it to you. They also have a desert and to go section as well. Yes cost a bit much, but it’s airport food so it’s expected.

Good was pretty good. Service okay, our waiter was kind to our kids. clearly they were a bit overwhelmed with the crush of people from flight delays due to the computer glitch. The fish tacos were good so were the French fries. The shaved Brussel sprout salad was good, could have had a bit more flavor.

We had the double decker cali burgers. They are just 2 smashed burgers, cheese and 1000 island sauce/lettuce/tomato/onion. Burger was expensive, but it was tasty and fulfilling. Fries come with the meal, so that takes a bit of the sting away from the pocketbook. We also ordered the Apple oatmeal cookie. They have dine in seating or you can take your food To Go. We ate there and it actually came pretty quickly.

I think this is the best option at the Chicago airport which isn’t actually saying too much because there aren’t very many good restaurants. This place has some fresh ingredients and I was craving a salad. The vibe is So-Cal, clean and the dishes are too. I got a salad and chips with guacamole and salsa. The portions were generous but the food wasn’t excellent but good. Will probably make this my regular place though given it has the healthiest food around.

I ordered the shaved Brussels sprouts salad and paid extra for added chicken. Save yourself the money and don’t get it. Idk who creates these menus but they need to go back to school. The Brussels sprouts I feel like needed to be sautéed or blanched to be easier to chew. By the 5th Vite my jaw was hurting from chewing the tough Brussels sprouts. Also, the Brussels sprouts were not cleaned and shaved dirty. So I had a whole bunch of specks of dirt on the Brussels sprouts sprinkled through out my salad. I was so tempted to take it back and ask to sauté the Brussels. But I’ll just settle with leaving a review. Dissatisfied and disappointed. Why can’t airport food be delicious and we’ll prepared?

Best cookies in ohare? $3.50 each probably better than $3 for Dunkin’s chocolate chunk and definitely better than anything “baked” from Starbucks.

Had read good things about Summer House. I also know that airport iterations of famous local restaurants tend to be hit or miss. I had a long layover and decided to try it out. You get seated and can either scan a QR code and order or order from a server. I ordered the 3 egg breakfast with bacon. It also comes with multi grain toast and a hash brown square. The toast was a little cold, but everything else was fresh and flavorful, especially the hash brown square. It wasn't anything amazing but better than some of the other options at ORD. Service was just okay. The 2 employees were overworked. So there wasn't much interaction. Would maybe try it for lunch.

Omg the brussels sprouts salad had dried out brussels sprouts, 3 tiny pieces of parmesan and 5 pieces of tiny bacon. Gross gross gross! 20 dollars! Will never go here again.

Airport food places always get a really bad rap for some reason. Honestly I usually love airports and haven't ever had a super terrible meal at any airport. Summer House was definitely a 5 star for me. I was walking towards my gate and noticed this bright spot with beachy vibes, so I stopped to look at the breakfast menu. I saw some healthier sounding options, so I ordered the spinach and kale omelet that comes with toast and crispy hash browns. My order came out quickly (within 10 minutes), I was asked if I needed a bag to carry it with me, and I grabbed some butter and hot sauce that were conveniently located right at the pickup area. There is a nice amount of seating right at Summer House so I found a spot and dug in. The omelet was honestly really good - super hot and fresh, and the eggs were fluffy and not overcooked. I didn't notice a ton of cheese, but it did have cheddar and spinach. I appreciated that the hash browns were actually crispy and nicely seasoned. The toast was multi grain and tasty, and the butter cup was the perfect amount for me (a lot, because I love butter a lot). I'm really happy with this spot and would definitely stop by again. They also have lunch and dinner options - the fish tacos caught my eye.

The menu is simple and generally pretty good option at the airport. The service model kind of creates slow service and I hate kicking them but my burger and fries came out cold. And it takes forever to get it bc the server is overworked and not his fault. My recommendation is to order to go so you get the food right away Atmosphere is blase bc it's a high traffic area between terms Worth it for a to go order

We were told by an airport store employee that Summer House was the best food option (whether she was referring to the whole airport or just in our proximity...), so we gave it a try. It looked like a nice restaurant when walking by earlier, but there had been a huge crowd and I wondered whether we'd get seated and fed in time for our flight. Well, they seated us immediately. It took a little longer to get our orders in, but the food came in a timely manner and we thought it was very good - definitely for airport food. Pretty limited menu though. I had a basic burger w/cheese and my husband had a chicken sandwich. Each came with a heaping of fries. My husband snarfed the fries, but I just focused on that big ole double cheeseburger (yes, that's the basic one). Paid our check fairly quickly and had plenty of time to catch our flight. Oh, also, our son walked 15 minutes away to get a particular personal sized pizza and it was just $5 cheaper - he said it was "ok". The rating/stars is relative to other airport food.

I've been to Mexico and I've been to Spain. I've even seen the great pyramids in Egypt and hands down, these are the greatest tacos I've ever tasted. Beautifully crafted like the great pyramids and artfully sourced ingredients, the sheer genius of these tacos is second to none. I forgot to mention that I got these in the airport and have 0 expectations for airport food. Whoever the chef is here needs to come forward and let me know so that I can personally congratulate him/her on the "world's best taco award".
