Best KPortal Reviews

I wanted to order cheese nachos and they ran out of Nachos. I ended up ordering the chili cheese dog, ????, horrible. Cold and tasteless. Service was acceptable .
Veteran owned, no nonsense cafe. Good coffee, prices lower than expected.
Not sure what all the 1 or 2 two star reviews are about. This is definitely not an upscale eatery. Managing expectations is an important life skill and if you can’t tell what you’re getting into when you walk through the entrance, best of luck going forward. I’m giving it 5 stars on the strength of the char-sui Managua. On point and delicious for what it is.
Over priced stuff is not uncommon at the airport, but I ended up paying about $20 for a beer and a hot dog, including tip and a “service fee” for the credit card charge, which they should be paying themselves. Multiple condiments were empty and they didn’t have backups. Pretty simple for the business model don’t you think? Have backups for when you run low? Basic stuff here. I don’t recommend unless you are literally starving, but this is an endpoint, not a through point, and there are many many many MANY other better places to eat than here. Very disappointed they didn’t have basic supplies, but at least I can leave a review and warn others. Eat before you get to the airport.
So first off they DO take credit card now but there is a service fee associated with it.
But the issue I have is there are NO prices listed anywhere. Just what is available - written on a whiteboard.
Sorry, but I don't stand in a line just to find out what the prices are of items I might want.
The newsstand also is crazy expensive but the at least have prices clearly marked on everything and I believe their cold sandwiches are cheaper than here.
They practiced pressure based sales. Need new staff and lower prices.
Ok first of all I don't get too impatient normally but after standing for 15 minutes after searching for pricing I was finally addressed with "What do you want?" by the auntie there. Then I simply ask her if there was an easy way to see prices for items. She said you ask me what you want and I tell you how much. Well with 4 other folks in line behind me I asked how much the Costco Kirkland chicken bake was she said "7.00" then I asked how much for chili cheese dog she says "8.75". I wanted a drink that was "8.25" as well I then began to wonder if I wanted to pay these crazy prices but left because of the anxiety of having to ask how much each items was that I wanted.
I thought about how many people aren't brave enough to ask and get stuck in a situation where they are paying way more then they wanted to but then just don't back out of the transaction due to public pressures. This is a very immoral way to make money off of people. Just write on the same board how much the things are. They make it a mystery intentional so people over buy or over pay.
Horrid...I'm justifiable upset and hungry so that's why you get my extra detailed negative review. Change your ways...this is not an example of Aloha.
Two stars, one because they were open when I showed up and two because they had food. The woman covered in tattoos behind the counter was completely unpleasant to deal with. Her condescending attitude towards asking questions was truly unacceptable for a restaurant. The food is what it is, it’s reheated Costco packaged food expect nothing better than a microwaved meal. They are the only choice available after security. Take heed and bring food with you.
Got the chili cheese nachos. Tasted fine. Thank goodness my flight was only 40min...got sick and picked it all up at the next airport ????
