New York Sports Grill

1- you order from a QR code stuck to the bar that is so dirty you will stick if you touch it ( bar top not QR code)
2- you are asked for tip amount when you order and before you realize you are about to experience the worst service you can imagine
To sum it up this place is a disgusting pig style. I asked several times for my space to be cleaned and was met with a bartender (Shannon) with a bad attitude who was cleaning everything with a wet dirty napkin (see photo)
DO NOT Recommend...unless you are looking to waste money and get sick

During my JFK layover we decided to dine at New York Sports Grill. My husband ordered a chicken Caesar wrap and I ordered a Chicken Parmesan Pita.

To place your food order, you have to use a QR code that was on the table, you pay on your phone. The food was just average, not the experience I'd hoped for. I've had better meals elsewhere.

Took them 45 mins to bring out a takeout mobile order of chicken tenders. There were 3 and it cost $20. Almost missed my flight. I understand airport food sucks but I think you can safely get better value for your money anywhere else in the terminal.

A Culinary Oasis in JFK's Terminal 5: New York Sports Club Restaurant Review
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

In the hustle and bustle of JFK's Terminal 5, I chanced upon the New York Sports Club Restaurant for a quick lunch, and what a delightful experience it was! Here's a detailed lowdown of my visit:

1. The Staff: Truly the heroes of the day! They were incredibly courteous and professional and went above and beyond when I hit a snag with the mobile ordering system. It might've been a tech glitch, but two waiters pitched in to ensure I could place my order. The patience and customer-first attitude displayed by them were commendable.

2. Ambiance: Clean tables, a neat setting, and plenty of HD TV monitors created a pleasing environment. You can tell they've put thought into the décor – it's warm, inviting, and makes the wait for your flight infinitely more enjoyable.

3. The Food: Ah, the star of my visit! I ordered the Baby Arugula Salad, and let me say - it was divine. The salad was made of a harmonious mix of strawberries, candied pecans, and crumbled goat cheese, coupled with a drizzle of olive oil, red wine vinegar, and a balsamic glaze. It's a flavor medley that dances on your tongue and is surprisingly filling, seeing me through my subsequent 3-hour flight.

4. Service: Swift and efficient. My food arrived promptly after ordering, and this quick service is a boon in the world of airports!

5. A Tiny Glitch: The mandatory mobile ordering system was the only slight hiccup in an otherwise delightful experience. The software seemed a tad convoluted, and I wasn't the only one facing issues. I'd suggest they either provide a more straightforward platform or have an alternative method for the less tech-savvy among us.

In conclusion, if you find yourself in JFK's Terminal 5 craving a delightful meal and heartwarming service, the New York Sports Club Restaurant should be your pit stop. I highly recommend it!

Inattentive staff, they make you order from a QR code and still ask for a 15-20% tip. No power outlets at bar or seats. Had to ask to get my food from the back. Food was 4/5.

The food was pretty good. After flying all night it was a satisfying breakfast.

Might be ok for a quick burger and a beer. I will not be returning for breakfast. I only went here as it was right by my departure gate. The food was not too good and the restaurant seemed to be dirty (bad smell). Due to the lack of options in terminal 5, this restaurant appears to be busy. Steer away and go to dunkin or starbucks instead. Ull be much happier.

I'll start with the positives. Quesadilla with chicken was bomb! Chunky and great flavor, I'd definitely grab this if I was heading through these gates again. Nachos were fine but they were missing the beans that were suppose to come with them. The chicken ceasar wrap was mostly lettuce and for some reason tasted like pickles (maybe a NY thing? Not sure) for sure won't get that again. Drinks were not very good.

The bad: Waited about 15 minutes for someone to acknowledge us and find us a seat. Waited another 20 until I tracked down our server so that we could order food. Waited about another 15 for drinks, 25 for food. Couldn't find waiter through out the meal and had to fetch our own napkins and silver ware, then waters, then the check and it wasn't really even crowded at this point. I'd suggest ordering and paying right away unless you want to be stuck here. We were probably here an hour and a half.
Morale of the story-order a beer and the chicken quesadilla.
