Automatic 18% "service charge" added to ticket and cannot be removed whether a party of 1 or 20! When asked, waitress said "oh, that goes to me, but you can add an additional tip if you want." Way overpriced food because it's in an airport, but then to add an automatic 18% gratuity that is not posted anywhere in the building. Never mentioned until you get your check. I'm pretty sure that this should have to be posted by law.

I recently dined at Air Margaritaville and had an excellent experience! From the moment I walked in, the island-themed decor and relaxing atmosphere made me feel like I was on a mini-vacation. The staff was welcoming and attentive, ensuring that every aspect of our meal was enjoyable.

The menu offered a great variety of dishes, and everything we ordered was delicious. I particularly enjoyed the fish tacos—they were fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The signature margaritas were also a highlight, providing the perfect balance of tangy and sweet.

What stood out the most was the exceptional service. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable, and checked in regularly to make sure we had everything we needed. The food arrived promptly, and the entire dining experience was smooth and pleasant.

Overall, Air Margaritaville exceeded my expectations. It's a perfect spot to unwind and enjoy good food and drinks before a flight. I highly recommend it to anyone passing through the airport!

Felt ripped off with the not so obvious 18% automatic tip, then it pops up asking if you want to add 22% /20% /18%. It’s intentionally deceptive. The waiter handed me a code and said to pay with my phone. Had to enter all info on the card. It may be convenient for some but not me. Food and service were good.

Way overpriced - we ordered the bbq burger and chicken breast. Burger bun was old and dry, burger itself was ok, the fries were cold at best. The chicken was dry and was supposed to come with mango salsa and they ended up giving us something different because it wasn’t available. But it would be nice to know that before you order.

Warning: 18% surcharge. The food was pretty good and service was friendly. But Untrustworthy. No warning or comment from waiter. Almost added another 18% gratuity. No, I'm not adding 36-40% tip. Also wanted me to round up for charity. Yes, everyone should get fair compensation, but be honest about it!

Cute little place with ok food that is hugely over priced but even that would be understood as it is in the airport. The unacceptable, I’ll never be back reason is because of Gail - the server - as a waitress delivering the food she was capable but when it comes to good customer service and simply being a good human being she needs a lesson or three. We witnessed her tell an elderly woman and her disabled husband that they needed to vacate their table after eating because other customers may need to table. The poor man was still ‘snacking’ on his fries. A very uncomfortable and sad situation. We’ll pass on Margaritavimle going forward simply because of Gail. FYI - if you must experience it yourself an 18% gratuity which you can remove, reduce or add to upon request.

Cute and quick option when dining in airport.

I showed up about 2 hours before they closed and was told I would only have options for chicken fingers and fries if I didn't hurry up with my order.

I was having a rough travel day so this triggered my anxiety so I just ordered chicken fingers instead of being rushed to make a decision.

Pros - Location and bar in the airport

Cons - These people gave me bad energy. Pretty rude, didn't want to be there. The bartender lady was eventually nice but no one seemed to want to help me until I asked them if they could.

Go there to charge your phone and get a drink and leave.

Average joint for a quick bite while waiting for the flight. Don’t expect too much and you will be happy. Food and drinks are just ok. Service could have been better.

All in all, an average fare. Get a table. Grab a bite and get out. Also if you have time to kill before your flight. Better do at Air Margaritaville, than idling outside.
