Jetrock Bar & Grill

I would never let anyone I care about eat at this restaurant. Myself and two colleagues wanted a nice place to sit and eat prior to our flights and we were greeted with subpar service, McDonalds grade cutlery and even worse quality food. I don’t mind crappy cutlery or even subpar service if the food is good, but every overpriced appetizer and entrée we ordered was awful.
Specifically, I had the Lobster Roll ($ 24, pricey even for airports) and it ended up being prepackaged ground bits of Lobster and celery slathered in mayonaisse. The reason so much mayonaisse, you ask? Because the salad was so old the whole table could smell it.
Paper plates, plastic cutlery as and lastly, god awful service. It’s rare I don’t tip 20%, especially when it’s not my money, but I didn’t even want to give this guy a dollar. I slid the food away, which is a general sign of something wrong, and not once did he stop to refill our drinks or check on how we liked our food (probably because he knows its crap). When he finally brought the check I told him how terrible it was and all he asked was «What’s wrong with it?». All after I explained exactly what was wrong. It should have been removed from my bill and I would have ordered something else, but nooooo, he took 10% off the entrée I didn’t even eat.
TL;DR: This place is a world class piece of crap. Eat here at your own risk, but I wouldn’t wish it upon anyone.
Five guys is a two minute walk away… go there.

Okay. As with a one star, I’d like to preface this review with the understanding that I didn’t start out searching for a one star experience. And I tried very hard to be understanding of the restaurant’s plight.
When I entered the bar, and this is only after walking down to Five Guys, as per the recommendation of the airport staff, and seeing and «hearing» a mother with four complaining and crying children. I noticed the «waiting» issue on Unilocal,but it seemed preferable to a screaming child, and I could imbibe a beer with my burger. Ah folly!
So I went in and sat next to the window. I also must mention that I had ample time to wait for my flight due to inclement weather. I figured that a burger, beer and my Kindle would be a brilliant way to pass the time. And we’re waiting. And we’re waiting some more. At some point I go to see if I missed an ordering station in the front. A manager shirt, wait staff is in polos, informs me that indeed the «one» guy in back is taking care of the orders, and water, and drinks, and food. So my heart kinda goes out to mister ponytail.
Eventually the manager shirt brings me the menu. Okay now the ball is rolling. I’m also noticing the irritation of the other patrons who have these things called «flights», which is fabled to leave without you. It seems even worse for… wait for it… Guys. Yup! The guy with the ponytail waiting tables in the bar is spending an extra moment for the ladies. Way to be a cliché dude! Rock on!
Suffice it to say, I finally get to order. The manager. I get my food. Manager. And eventually, I checked when I «checked in» on Unilocal after ordering, 33 minutes later and five minutes after my food came, I get my beer. Cause who doesn’t love the dilemma of choking down a burger or letting your lukewarm food grow cold. And no, the food was a C– at that point.
Next time I’m in LaGuardia, I’m sticking in my headphones and heading to Five Guys. Or better yet the lower food court near Gate C. I’ll grab a beer afterwards.

This might be the worst airport restaurant I’ve ever been to, and that says a lot. I waited 15 minutes to be seated (the place was 90% empty). Another 20 minutes for someone to bring me a menu. When the food came, I thought it was a joke. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich… the bun was like a stale, freezer burned bun from the 99 cent store, and the meat was not fresh at all… the waiter also screwed up my order, bringing me fries instead of the salad I asked for. He never asked how the meal was, despite me taking only one bite of the sandwich before being finished. The beer list looked great but I would avoid the food here.

Can’t really say too much for this place. Food mediocre, service slow and curt. I felt sorry for the server as he was the only one handling the entire sitting area. That said, you could clearly tell the guy wanted to be someplace else. I can blame him. Who really looks forward to going to Laguardia’s central terminal? I certainly won’t look for this place in the future.

Pretty darn acceptable for airport bar food. But really, the rocking-​out-​ness is all about getting Nathaly (at least, that was the name of the server listed on our bill) behind the bar. You couldn’t ask for a spunkier, saucier, spicier gal who knows how to take care of customers and liven up an otherwise dead joint.
Beyond a fabulous bartendress, the rest of Jetrock’s offerings are pretty much your run-​of-​the-​mill bar fare. I saw a bunch of sandwiches, burgers, salads, and fried foods. And we had most of the latter.
The black and bleu burger was nearly cooked to order — perhaps a bit on the well side of medium, because I didn’t detect any pink in the middle, but it wasn’t a lump of charcoal, either. The cuban sandwich was less memorable. Satisfying, but not kind of savory delight that I typically envision when I think of cuban sandwiches. On an up note, the onion rings were great — crispy and crunchy to the extent of making you question whether there’s actually onion under the breading.
I doubt you’ll be finding a better option to dine at this Laguardia terminal. And this is definitely far superior to any of the fast food you’ll find once you pass security. And if you see Nathaly, definitely plop down on a bar stool and hang out for awhile. You’ll be in for a good time!

Good place to kill time while you wait for your flight out. They have a good variety of adult beverages!

Just when you think LaGuardia Terminal B can’t get any worse…
There isn’t much to say about Jetrock other than it is a truly depressing place with bad food and bad service. No, no, and more no.

This is a bar/​restaurant in an airport, so I will review it as such.
This place is GREAT! The food is very good. The servers/​bartenders are friendly and helpful. The ambiance/​décor is cool. There are plenty of places to plug in and charge up your electronic devices. If you find yourself stuck in the garbage dump that is LaGuardia Airport, do yourself a favor and eat here.

I came here to have a quick beer before my flight. The spout for the beer I chose was broken in a way that it was spilling all over the bar. The bartender was trying to keep it contained, but was apparently aware it was broken, but nonetheless losing that battle.
The problem was. I was sitting right in front of the sidpenser!
Yeah. Not a great experience.

I’m at the location next to Delta. I have never had worse service. Also, it is way overpriced. Maybe it’s just an off day but it sucked and my tip reflected that.

This is located in Terminal B, between American and United. It’s on the public side of the gates, behind the ticketing counters.
Skip the foodcourt and the vastly overrated Five Guys and eat here. This Philly-​based outfit makes a great cheesesteak. Ask for well-​done fries. Most airports offer fast food Chili’s or Friday’s but LaGuardia is even worse.
They do crush you on the drink prices but such is life in airports.

This place well… rocks. I was stranded at Laguardia (thanks a lot United) for an extra 3 hours and this place was exactly what the doctor ordered.
They were fast, friendly, and the food was surprisingly good.
Last but not least, the ideal location offered something for everyone. Situated right outside the security checkpoint:
1. The business savvy, black suited clock watchers can monitor how long the lines get to properly gauge their trek back to the gate.
2. The Blood Sport Spectators can watch as disgruntled travelers get completely ignorant with TSA.
3. The more voyeuristic traveler has a perfect view of the extra special pat downs divvied out with «love» to those few chosen passengers.
Jetrock Bar & Grill is the clear choice for dinning and entertainment while trapped in Laguardia Airport.

I have eaten dinner here twice — and had several drinks — when I’ve been stranded due to flight delays.
As far as airport restaurants and bars go, it’s not bad. Service was good, it was clean and the food was fine.
It’ll do in a pinch — and it’s not fast food.
