Pork & Pickle

Jay Frigon

Kind of cramped and very hot. The meat smoker leaves a strong burning smell throughout.

<< Note that lunch starts at 11 am and prior to that you can only get breakfast sandwiches >> Pros: 1) Alright food variety compared to other places in the KC airport Cons: 1) Slow service, though this might be due to everyone ordering lunch right at 11 am (but still too little staff taking orders and serving it seems) 2) Small amount of seating (place filled up around 10:50 am with people waiting for lunch, including us). But this might be a good thing due to con #1 3) Bacon is limp and soggy 4) Turkey slider with spicy avocado did not have the avocado on it. Would recommend only getting food here if you have more than an hour to burn 5) The fries are sad and soggy 6) Expensive, even for airport

I've been to this restaurant approximately 6 years ago, and had very, very low expectations based upon my previous 1 Star review experience. This visit was measurably better, but some of the same issues persist, namely lack of cleanliness and rudeness on the part of some of the staff. With low expectations we toured the terminal seeking out the best restaurant experience this airport has to offer. Given the severely limited options we choose Pork and Pickle. The restaurant is located one level above the concourse but the elevator is locked and unavailable for customer use. With luggage in tow we climbed the dingy stairs, noticing the discarded papers and stained rugs. The lobby is little more than a tiny landing at the top of the stairs, which was far too small to house the 6 hopeful diners awaiting service. Interestingly the locked elevator sprang to life when restaurant staff moved a large bin of trash through our little group and into the now usable elevator. The hostess was a sour woman that didn't greet us, or even respond when we answered her unasked question regarding our parties size. She reminded us of the legendary Prussian coaches of the Soviet Block Era. Stern and bit frightening. We were beckoned by another staff member... by beckoned I mean waved at from across the full distance of the establishment with a yelled query... "2?"... apparently asking us if we matched the party size they were interested in seating. We eagerly responded in the affirmative and sat at a cozy table near the kitchen area. In all fairness our waitress was warm, friendly helpful and prompt. A refreshing exception. This was how the rating bumped up a notch from a 1 out of 5 stars. The food was the other. Speaking of food, it was pretty solid. Warm and good. Not great though. The bill was presented and we saw a very steep bill for the food received, but we knew that going in... the nearly 12% sales tax was a bit of a surprise. Given the limited options available, I can't really offer a recommendation per se, but hopefully this review will help set expectations.

Tucked away just above gate 41 at terminal B. Decent brisket, sauce could be better. Overall good food. Fast service which is great for an airport pace. Pricing is as expected at an airport. Easily the best option in Terminal B
