Lots of great food options in this airport. All the Pappas Restaurants have a presence and all are fantastic just depends if you are in the mood for Mexican, Seafood, or Burgers. Barry's for pizza.Upvoted Mar 2
Love this little airport! Clean & efficient. Upset to hear they are going international...I hope they will be able to maintain the comfortable environment.Upvoted 2 days ago
MitchDecember 30, 2017One of my favorite airports! Southwest hub serving Houston. Security lines may be long but move very fast.Upvoted Feb 17
Cheryl ThompsonFebruary 22, 2019Smaller airports are great. TSA folks are nice, and there are constant pages over the intercom to advise people of their lost items. It’s almost like they CARE here.
I miss the days when Southwest had their three level security lines: Fast Track, Expert Traveler and Family/Need Extra Time. That was the most efficient TSA process ever!!!
David PessahMarch 16, 2014For the travelers from cities that can drink all day every Sunday: One must have food on the table before a drink can be ordered from 1030a-12p. 12p on is fair game...Or our waiter was a big liar
John CarnessiotisApril 28, 2013Small Airports are the best... period! Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen offers free wi fi and Southwest proved to be excellent and on time!
Go to the cell phone lot while you wait for your friends to arrive and enjoy the views of planes landing. Very close to the terminal, so you avoid the traffic at arrivals.
Enn EssFebruary 3, 2019Small airport with only one terminal. Went through security with ease. Plenty of shops. Ample seating with outlets for charging devices.
I like this airport, nice and easy. Just make sure you collect your money from those who owe you before leaving town.
Susan RussoMarch 5, 2013Pappadeaux is a fun spot for a bite to eat offering classic New Orleans dishes like fried alligator, dirty rice, shrimp étouffée, and oysters. Sad beers on tap though, so be warned.
Jason PelishDecember 29, 2011If you're hungry go to the Asian Food place in the Food Court before the A Gates. The Szechuan Noodles are awesome - especially with the Phoenix Chicken. Really tasty hunan sauce on them - yum!
A nicely renovated smaller airport with lots of direct flights on Southwest. No airport lounges as of 2019, but security is fast, so there’s usually no need to hang out at the airport for a long time.
KodyNovember 9, 2014Get a shoeshine! Awesome stories and great for a laugh and to say you've done it!
Cute little airport and easy to navigate. Pappa’s Burgers are delicious! But the restrooms aren’t ever clean 😩- For convenience try parking in the brand new parking garage($20/day) at Hobby Airport. It is located on the left as soon as you get your parking ticket from the machine. Going to the terminal is easy.
Dominic FortSeptember 8, 2014Happen to be passing through, be sure to swing by Pappas Burgers and say hello to Corey the bartender... Great personality and wonderful service.
Karla CarrilloMarch 26, 2013I really like this airport. Small & very easy to get around. Friendly airport. Good airport if you ever need to make a connection to get to your destination.
Christina BoggsNovember 7, 2022Pappasito’s Cantina can cobble together vegan food (side of black beans, pico, and tortillas). Otherwise, a veggie delite from Subway is your other option.
Southwest got me back EARLY! The TSA was actually friendly & their body scanners are more generic pictures then other airports I've been in. Felt less violated & the friendliness went a long way!- Hobby has made so many improvements over the last few years and is really a great airport with plenty of amenities.
Cassandra FaustNovember 17, 2016Pappadeaux is new here and was a nice Houston touch to the airport! Also love the changes to the shopping at the airport as well!!
Love, love this airport, so easy to get in and get out of the city, when needed!!- When picking up passengers with checked luggage, park red garage level 3 or 4, take the elevator to one and meet them. 10 minutes of parking is $1.00. 11 minutes to 60 minutes is $5.00.
Agree with Jessica the rocking chairs are a nice Texan touch and the confined space in the pick-up area with idling cars gives the equally Texan polluted air experience
George WJune 23, 2014It's an airport, what do you expect? Short lines at the TSA, it's comfortable, clean w/a nice food court. Take it from a real traveler, don't spend a lot of time in airports if you can avoid it!
I love Hobby Air Port! My only complaint is it needs more restaurants choices and it definitely needs a Starbucks!
Best place to fly in and out of if you’re going to the Houston area.
Michael DeedsJanuary 2, 2014Much nicer airport than IAH and since it is smaller there are much shorter lines! The shops and food selection is also better than IAH's.
ChristinaDecember 26, 2012Get a frozen original margarita at Papasitos. One of the best frozens I've had in ages. They put it in a plastic cup, too.
Only 51 gates and pretty much Southwest. Great option if you are headed to Galveston as you will save a ton of time
Grab a beer and walk around the concourse with it. There are some decent food places in this place as well.
Hobby finally has upgraded the terminals and better food places have been added! If you're running late Subway has been added and is serving breakfast (at normal prices too)!
Pappasito,s cantina is the best! I love having a local Houston restaurant in the airport. If you crave tex mex this is the place to go!
Andres NovoaNovember 10, 2015When picking someone up keep left as you approach the covered portion. That line moves faster since people on the right are usually stopped to load.
I'm amazed at the lemmings who will go through the full body scanners here. Everyone should opt out.
CultureMap Houston ManagerMarch 27, 2012Hobby has an array of restaurants in the central concourse including Pappasito's Catina, Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen, and Hunan Return of the Phoenix.
Jeffrey GilesSeptember 25, 2014Beautiful airport. Spacious, easy to get around ans very convenient. Great choices for food!!
Here's a tip for the normal person, please stay out of the commercial lane... we are working and you are in our way. Thank you. 😉
Eco park 2 is the best place to park. Only $8 a day and it is right next to the terminal door.
Lauryn MillSeptember 5, 2014The smaller airport in Houston on the south side of town. No free wifi, but you can get it for free at Papadeaux's.
This aiport is gorgeous! The rennovation turned out extraordinary! Kudos to the city of Houston!
Candace BlydenburghFebruary 20, 2015Great airport to fly into and leave out of - easy to get through security and easy to get to the gates even with the construction- Glenn CarrJuly 5, 2013You've got to get a pulled pork loaded potato and a margarita at Pappas BBQ! Amazing! Now I'm glad I had a layover! :)
Lines can get long, but they move quickly. A friendly smile can go a long way here.
Best chairs in Gate 43 of any airport I've been in outside of the Preferred Lounges. "Leather" sitting chairs with Power outlets and USB ports every 2 chairs.
AlmostVeggies.comJune 22, 2012Check out almostveggiehouston.com for the best places to eat in Houston! Hurry. Up.
go to the international terminal (gate 1-5) to enjoy a quieter experience. The Peet’s coffee located there is better and you have more food choices than the main terminal
