Had a great experience here! Ordered Fish & Chips w/a delicious Golden Road Brown Ale & she brought it out in less than 10 min! Good food, fast service! I felt like I won the lottery! Recommend!

Cut the line of families waiting to be seated and go directly to the bar. Prepare to be upsold to a double Bloody Mary. They give you a whole bottle of Worcester to operate with. Enjoy your flight.

Wow, you guys... I loved my breakfast here! It was huge and delicious! Breakfast burrito, baby! Do it. Server was great. However, the cappuccino was appalling. Stick to percolated coffee if desperate.

Shrimp & calamari ceviche was pretty good along with the Goose Island IPA (pic). Lively bar area with TVs showing ball games. Fast, attentive service.
Randy MottoOctober 31, 2016
Nice , fast service our server Marquitt was very friendly & chill. , tasty bacon , the potatoes o' Brian were missing the o'brain. Be carful it gets pricy quick when you start adding side dishes.

While the Lonely Planet rates Gladstone's as LAX's primary singles bar, it neglected to mention that it meant cheese singles. This is great news for burgers, bad news for tempestuous airport romance

While most will find their disrespect for accurate geographic information(see pic) & quirky labelling of highly populated areas with food names charming. It's hard to ignore a cannibalistic undertone

Double vodka soda for $12. Can't complain for airport prices. Only bar here and the bartender was awesome. Didn't try to food thanks to all the scary reviews. My vodka was fantastic though!

The burger was passable, the service fast and friendly. They brought a nice cookie with the kids meal. Husband enjoyed the fish tacos. Watch out for how huge the calamari appetizer is.

Gladstone: if you do a 10% off promotion on foursquare, inform your waiters and the manager about it - explain them what foursquare is to avoid the question if I "have that discount on paper" LOL

Tried the food this time. Breakfast burrito with potatoes O'Brien. Not sure what everyone was complaining about. Great service and for airport food - pretty tasty.
PeteSeptember 9, 2013
We ate here, service was fast and food was good. Not sure what all the other reviews are about, but we liked it. And it beats sitting in BK or Starbucks.
Sierra HaworthApril 12, 2014
Server was nice enough to warn me the sushi isn't good or fresh, informed me the fish with two sides is (specifically rice & veggies). Huge proportion and actually pretty good.
Sherry FragsApril 6, 2014
Okay so I was scared after reading the comments but really wanted a glass of wine and to watch the Final Four bball game. Pleasantly surprised. Penne puttanesca was spicy and good! 👍
Amy GrillAugust 2, 2013
Delicious tuna melt. Decent wine selection. Not TOO overpriced for an airport spot. Get a seat by the window and watch the planes roll in and out.
Paige CSeptember 20, 2016
Fish tacos with rice and beans were good! Very large portions!
Melinda JacksonNovember 17, 2014
The Baja scramble is legit. Seated at the bar and the service is still iffy. Regardless it was quicker than the Starbucks line.
VinePairDecember 13, 2016
There are drinks and good fish. It’s a bit fancier fare than your average airport restaurant or bar, but it’s perfect if you’re into that and have the time.
Salim MithaAugust 21, 2015
Instead of waiting in the long Starbucks line, you can get pretty decent coffee here to go. Probably need to use the milk from Starbucks counter but this will save you lots time
Sean StonerSeptember 10, 2013
The fish tacos weren't that bad, especially given the setting. Lots of cholula and decent black beans with queso fresco. Then again, I was starving and could have eaten the ass off a rhinoceros.

Sushi *gack* is south of fresh. Greasy fried food. Cup of chowder and fries might be the best bet here. Shrimp cocktail edible, like a Costco platter. Get the 9oz. pour of wine. Booze too expensive.
James BaussmannAugust 7, 2012
The chowder wasn't THAT bad (& I'm from New England). Here's a tip to make the burger better--> sprinkle tabasco on the bottom bun itself so it soaks in. Then add cole slaw on top of the burger. Boom.
Rob ScrippAugust 3, 2012
Reviews are bad, but I had a nice Chardonnay and yummy Coconut Shrimp appetizer here. Free newspaper and good service too!
Andrea BermanJune 24, 2013
Thank you for providing the ONLY vegan food at this airport! They have edamame, cucumber sushi, and vegetable sushi.
Janine SouthardMay 2, 2014
As someone very hungry, my service was decent and my burger was edible. (Certainly better than Burger King and larger than Starbucks, which are your other terminal choices.)
Rosanna WangApril 27, 2014
Clam chowder is really amazing here!! Everything else is kinda expen$iiive!!
J CrowleyNovember 20, 2011
The tips here are hilarious. People are murdering this place! My burger was passable. On Sunday's grab a beer and watch football at the bar.
Kelwadis ButlerMarch 20, 2015
The blue wave salad with salmon, blue cheese, and papaya was surprisingly delicious.
Michael GoiteinAugust 29, 2015
Fish Tacos were solid. One of the better meals I had in LA...
Stephen Neill O'BrienJune 19, 2013
Stay away if there's a big game going on......nuts O during the Spurs/Heat game 6......wall to wall crazies. Fun but 20, 25, 30 min beers
Max GladwellSeptember 22, 2011
If the line is long and you're pressed for time, hit the to-go entrance to the left. There's reserved seating!
jordan dossettApril 3, 2012
Just shows up. Seated right away. Ordered pound of calamari and soup and got it in - 10 min. Disagree with everyone. The only comment is too pricey!!!
Michael DasaroFebruary 16, 2012
Service was good as was the breakfast burrito. Worth $15? Prolly not. But it's early, not much open and I'm hungry. Plus if you douse anything in Cholula it's bound to be good.
Frank MurrayMay 9, 2013
The blue cheese wedge salad with chicken was a great value. Also loved their chowder.
Hilary McCownDecember 20, 2011
$14.50 for a glass of mass-produced Pinot Grigio. Admittedly, a large glass, but still outrageous. Not super high quality food, either. Good service, though.
Peter d.January 26, 2014
Sit as far away from the kitchen as possible. They constantly bark out the server's names when the food is ready. Annoying!!!
JaniNovember 4, 2012
Beer is cold. After reading the tips I was afraid to order anything but beer and fries. Fries are probably better at bk. Our waitress was nice and quick.
Dan VanderkamAugust 19, 2011
Breakfast burritos were great. Love that you get a plastic knife (so you don't take it on the plane)
Sean StonerSeptember 10, 2013
The tips here are hilarious. I hope they're wrong. Hey the beet is delicious. :)
Flobo BoyceAugust 19, 2015
The Burgers (should you decide to get one) are medium-WELL by default.
Brad HallSeptember 19, 2013
Assuming you're expensing this meal, the $17 tuna melt is the only edible item (as the only non BK restaurant in the Virgin Terminal, I've struck out here many times). If you're paying, go to BK.

The chicken caeser is big enough for 2 people! But good.
Karen MagnoOctober 25, 2012
They do not publish their prices for a glass of wine so you have to ask and it is $9 for house chardonnay!
Doug CossNovember 1, 2014
Nice staff. Good bar service and breakfast burrito is good
Florante Peter IbanezJune 12, 2013
The lox bagel box is big like a salad for breakfast for 2
Jenni PowellDecember 7, 2011
Apparently the trick to this place is to come in early and not order any fish. My breakfast and service was great.
Scott Mc KiernanJuly 12, 2012
Did I mention chowder rocks, not cheap place. but fish and chip and beer before a flight is air therapy!
Amber DobosJune 18, 2013
grills just came on and the 50 year-young bartender just asked if I wanted a shot with my beer for another 5 dollars. I don't want to go home yet
Heidi MillerFebruary 26, 2011
When the menu says "all sandwiches are served with slaw and chips," don't believe it. They mean "all except the one you want."
Matthew FisherFebruary 24, 2014
Food was fine. Service was fine. And yes they offered a shot. And I took it. Who doesn't want a shot when traveling. Even on a Sunday
