I've eaten here a few times as I travel regularly for business. This restaurant is about average for an airport restaurant but I bought the French Dip today and it was a joke. Four thin slices of roast beef on a small roll $11.50. I understand its an airport restaurant but that's ridiculous. I was also charged $2.79 for sparkling water. What a joke. If you insist on eating here, have the stew, chili, or chowder. All are good and reasonably priced for their portions.
Review Source:I will give this place 3 stars as there is nothing that would warrant higher rating for my money. Â The restaurant is open seating so you can just find a place to sit and wait for someone to notice you, which in my case took more than 5 minutes which is an eternity in an airport. Â There doesn't seem to be any logic in how the servers help the seated guests but I was eventually greeted and helped by a very friendly server who was attentive the rest of my visit. Â I ordered the clam chowder which was actually outstanding; it was Ivar's clam chowder served in a small sourdough bowl. Â The portion size was small for the money so I ordered the french dip to top off the appetite. Â This was an average sandwich with swiss cheese and au jus with potato chips and cole slaw. Â I would have preferred the option to order french fries but no dice!! Â As for the bar they offer about 8 different beers on draft and have a full bar menu but the cocktails are probably watered down a little as I was able to drink 2 double vodka tonics and not even feel buzzed. Â For an airport eatery; you could do worse but I know you can also do a lot better.
Review Source:Ate lunch here while waiting for our plane back to San Antonio. We sat ourselves and were promptly greeted by a server who was very quick to bring out our drinks. My boyfriend ordered the Bushmen Beef Sandwich - a twist on the philly cheesesteak with roast beef, onions and peppers and swiss cheese on a kaiser roll. He said it was pretty good. I ordered Bigfoot's Hearty Chili made with House Beer and served in a Breadbowl, topped with sour cream, cheese and green onions - it was YUM. Probably one of the best airport meals I have ever had - awesome chili! And the breadbowl - sourdough delicious goodness. I ate everything! Haha. What I really liked about this restaurant is the level of service. Our waiter was quick to bring out our meal and the check - perfect for having to catch a flight! Thanks!
Review Source:This restaurant is getting 3 stars, but barely.  The North Terminal didn't have much  for other restaurants but the burgers are what interested me the first time I came here.  The second time it was to see if they could do any better with a salad.  The meat wasn't seasoned much nor the service that good.  Took some time to get a server over to go through the paces.  Would suggest that you have your order all ready to go when you do get one to swing by the table.  They do post the menu by the doorway which does help to expedite this procedure.  The seating is open so you just sit down and wait for someone to notice you.  I wouldn't recommend eating here if you have a short connection.
The overall food was sub par and the majority of the other dishes coming out had the same appeal to them. Â Chicken on the salad was ok, but didn't have anything amazing about it. Â (I can slice up chicken breast and put in on a salad, too.) Â
Good place to people watch or just to have a coffee. Â Not a lot of room for luggage or even a little bag (which is what I had). Â Bench-style vinyl seating on one part of the restaurant wall, otherwise small tables in close proximity to each other. Â Easy to overhear everyone's conversations around you.
Yuck. I should have read the reviews before I saw down. Â Not all airport food is bad, but this place plays into the stereotype of bad airport food. Â The waitress was nice and the theme of the place was cute but the food was bad.
The bbq chicken was dry and bland. The potatoes were awful, seriously awful. The only ok thing was the soda. Isn't that sad? Â To pay $30 for two sandwiches and soda and for it to be inedible is bad. Â
Go to Burger King.
The service from the bar tender was great. He was friendly, informative, and fast. The beer selection,though small, is outstanding! Just had the Fremont Interurban IPA, this is now in my top 3 of favorite IPA's.
I had the beef stew in a bread bowl and it was good. Not as good as an Irish stew, but for something on the go it did the trick.
I noticed they sell Ivar's clam chowder. If you like clam chowder, Ivar's is a good one.
From everyone else's reviews it looks like the safest bet here is the soup or stew.
Ordered a bloody mary. It was so bad I decided to not order food. I then tried to stir etc and deal with the horrific quality of the drink.. gave up.. after 45 minutes nobody came to say anything.. not even to offer me the bill.
I brought the full bloody mary to the bartender and he gave me the bill. Then I asked for the managers number.. called Robbie.. and at that time had a conversation with the worst/lowest level of business to customer engagement I have ever had.
Thanks for being so horrible.
Do yourself a favor... NEVER eat here. Â Wife and I ordered burgers, tasted like they killed Big Foot, saved it in a freezer for a year, then stuck it between a bun and served it. Â I ate it and felt terrible, my wife had an impromptu veggie burger (took the big foot out of the sandwich and laid the grey sasquach meat on the side of her plate). Â I was envious of all the people I could see from my seat in line at Burger King... now when does that happen???
Review Source:This place is the pits. Â I made the big mistake of eating here as I waited for my severely delayed flight - never again - and I hope you don't make that mistake too. Â Or if you are going to make the mistake - don't eat here BEFORE getting on a plane, especially if you'll be sitting next to me!
I don't expect airport food to be 5 star quality, but I do expect it to be edible. Â Do yourself a favor and pack your own sandwich/meal if you end up in the N terminal. Â Or make sure to order alot of beer to wash your meal down.
I usually don't expect airport food to be very good, so my expectations weren't high. But even with these low expectations were exceeded with incredibly bad food. The roastbeef sandwich I forced down tasted like it had been sitting around a while. The beef was dry and tough, the bread tasted awful and was difficult to bite into.
Must avoid this place going forward.
Service is friendly, but the food is bleah. The "Wild Man Macaroni" tastes exactly like Kraft Macaroni & Cheese with some green onions sprinkled on top.
I like Kraft Mac & Cheese, but for my kid. For $5.00. With a glass of milk and a cookie.
$10 for "Wild Man Macaroni" is ridiculous, even at an airport.
Even by the standards of airport food, d this stuff is garbage. Is it possible to give a place 0 stars?
Their burger patties are steamed and kept warm for God knows how long before they slap them on a bunch and serve them with a side of ancient baked potato wedges. Truthfully, I've seen food like this before. It was at an army base in South Carolina. You would do much better at the Burger King right across the way.
If you do decide to stay, order a beer; you're really gonna need it.
Bigfoot Food and Spirits gets 2 stars thanking to its service and serving of an unfiltered amber style beer which is contracted through Pyramid. Otherwise they would get 1 star. Of course, I was stuck in an airport waiting in security after leaving the Seattle area hotel around noon. Given I was not going to eat until midnight NYC time, was forced to pick something. Had the 1/2 pound of ribs which were OK but the sauce definitely had the corn syrup type taste to it. The potatoes served were absolutely atrocious and the same exact ones that a Homewood Suites provided for breakfast. The corn was slightly buttered w/o the option of doing so yourself. The corn muffin was like paper.
In retrospect, I should have downed about 4 of the ambers and enjoyed those calories instead. Oh well.
This rating because my waitress was SUPER swamped, and still sweet and somewhat attentive. Plus on my 5 hour delay, I could get wine here with out leaving the N Terminal. Chowder Bread Bowl did the job okay, so I didn't starve.
Thank you for the sustenance, and the red wine. And thank you waitress for making sure you spoke to me. You were super swamped and bustin' your hump. In a pinch, this place will do.
Can I give 0?
Start with baby roach in the water. Â Lost appetite there. Â But I had already ordered beef stew. Â Can you say canned Dinty Moore stew for $10? Â I've eaten enough of that on camp outs to know what it is and that was it. Â Worst place I've ever had the displeasure of eating at and I've eaten at some bad places. Â Please, take the monorail back to the main terminal to eat.
The food is utterly nasty! Someone else said it best with the recommendation to just stay hungry. There is no real kitchen here, just a bunch of nasty fake foods and 4 microwaves. The burger was disgusting! I seriously feel like vomiting! I don't always check yelp before eating somewhere & this time I am regretting it!
Review Source:The "food" here is GROOSSS! Granted one can't expect much at an airport -but this crap is untouchable - to say nothing of putting it in your mouth and eating it! the "Salmon" is a pinkish - rubbery thing with ZERO taste. I was too nervous to actually eat it since it was obviously not really salmon and probably not even food.
The 'chicken' in the chicken Cesar salad was so disgusting I sent it back.
Seriously - you'd be better getting nuts at the newstand or something prepackaged a few feet away from one of the places in the food court a few feet away.
So you took the little train and now you're trapped in the "N" gates. Â Lucky you.
All I wanted was a salad and a beer. Â I had just over an hour to kill before my flight started boarding and my gate was directly next to Bigfoot, so I thought this was the way to go.
Granted they were busy, but the "seat yourself" concept in airport restaurants rarely turns out well. Â I looked at my watch when I sat down. Â From to time I sat down to the time anyone acknowledged that I was there took 40 (yes, FORTY) minutes. Â I was in that limbo of being fed up and wanting to leave, but feeling like I had already invested so much time that I should stick it out. Â Other tables that sat down after me had their food before I even got a "hello". Â The waitresses were hustling, but refused to make eye contact with me. Â It was ridiculous.
My salad was fine, my beer was lame, and I had to ask for the check at the same time that I ordered my food because I was running short on time. Â I'm a fast eater, but Bigfoot managed to eat up all of my pre-flight time and my plane was almost done boarding by the time I got out of there.
Seriously, eat before you make your way over to "N".
The best part of stopping here was reading the back of the waiter's tee shirt that read: "I was Big Foot's Love Slave". My wife liked her Mt. Rainier barbecue chicken sandwich; I tried the Bushman Beef sandwich and was disappointed. Both meals came with a side of potatoes that were cold and rather tasteless.
Review Source:I don't like the food here. It's really the same food as the sports bar across the way, but with different names on the menu. I think everything is microwaved. Â
But even though the food isn't very good, I've been here a bunch of times....I think they play really fun music and whatever IPA they have on tap, it is really good.
So this is the only other option in Terminal N besides Seahawks (that I could tell) served lunch and alcohol... ie, it was packed on a Friday afternoon.
This food here was a complete flop. Â Their menu has a lot of options and, since it's the airport, you can't really expect things to be as good as they sound or look on the menu. Â Case & Point: my salmon sandwich. Â The *lamest* fillet of over-cooked, meager portion of salmon in between 2 boring, not-even-touched-by-a-grill-or-toaster buns with about 5 strands of 'grilled onions' and a tsp of their BBQ sauce. Â I tell you, meager, plain, boring, and definitely not worth the $. Â I had to ask for extra BBQ sauce just so that I could try to put this dry meal down my throat... lame.
The servers were at least fast and nice... they did seem really busy, so I have to up the star from 1 because of their friendly and fast service.
PS: part of that extra 1 star is the fact that they serve Chateau St. Michelle and Snoqualmie wines... that's what we had and really enjoyed them - they are some of the most reliable WA wines that can be found almost anywhere.
I was an hour early to my gate (N Gates) around 11:00am, so decided to stop in this establishment for a quick cup of soup and salad. Â The waitress assured me that an hour was plenty of time time. Â 30 minutes passes, then 45 minutes. Â At this point I request my food to go and paid the check in advance. Â At 55 minutes I was still waiting and had to go, I was assured I wouldn't be charged even though my card ad already been processed. Â I'm sure you can guess the rest of this story... My card was charged the full amount. Â No I'm disputing the charge not for a bunch of money but rather the principal of the matter. Â Please do not patronize this establishment as they are not an honest business.
Review Source:I ended up eating here since I had a flight to catch.
The place is very simple and between eating a sandwich at Burger king and eating at Bigfoot Food, I prefer the second option.
The service was not slow but disorganized. Nobody is gonna seat you, just walk inside and wait for somebody to approach you.... if you are lucky.
Food.... as I said it's better than a hamburger at Burger King but not great at all. I was expecting at least some french fries with my food but I got just some beans and a spoon of Russian salad.
If I'm in a rush again I'll stop by again probably, but for sure if I have alternative, I won't eat here again.
I had a cheeseburger and a beer before a flight. The food's not really cooked to order, it's just heated. However, when I was there, the person responsible for preparing the food seemed to take it pretty seriously. As a result, the burger and the sides (baked beans and potato salad) weren't that bad - arguably better than you usually get at an airport Chili's. Â
Service was good, decent selection of beers, a college football game on the TV - no complaints.
Most airport food would be lucky to get 2 stars in my book. Â
Bigfoot is above average and gets an "A-OK!" (3 stars) from me. Â
It's a nice restaurant tucked into the side of the N Terminal at SEATAC. Â The service was prompt, friendly, and professional. Â They have a good selection of beer on draft, in spite of the waiter's attempt to make me think otherwise by listing "Coors" first on his list of beers on draft. Â (Yes, that is your "beer snob" alarm going off.)
I had a burger and it was very good with fresh, good quality lettuce, tomato, and onions on it. Â I'm not a big fan of potato salad or baked beans (both came with my burger). Â I asked if they had any fries - sadly, no. Â So I sat back to read my book and drink my beer while I waited for my flight. Â
The waiter noticed I wasn't eating the potato salad or the beans, and he took the initiative to offer to get me something else. Â He offered a "side" salad, and I said sure. Â He brought out a salad about 3 times the size of what I was expecting, with a hard-boiled egg, fresh tomato slices, cucumbers, olives, carrots, and mushrooms. Â It was a BIG salad. Â I was very thankful for him taking the initiative.
Overall, no complaints at all (other than the fact it's 8 p.m. and I still have 3 hours to wait for my red-eye flight to the East Coast, but that's not Bigfoot's fault). Â
A-OK. Â If you're looking for a place to eat in the N Terminal, then I highly recommend it.
So apparently the N Terminal in SeaTac has the worst food options, which explains why I had to eat here in the first place. I don't think my experience was as bad others have said, but still nothing I would repeat. However, I think that if you are reading this, you probably are going to end up eating at Bigfoot, because the other options are worse.
I ordered the Beef Stew in a bread bowl, which is made with their "Beast" beer. It was pretty good, well seasoned, and surprisingly meaty. I asked for a side salad, which was served on a piece of parchment paper in one of those plastic baskets that burgers come in. That's odd for a salad, right? $12 for soup is typical I suppose, for an airport.
SO also paid $12 for Nachos with pulled pork. They put a butt-ton of pork on the nachos, so that was good. Chili that was on the Nachos was just OK.
There is a lot of seating in the restaurant, but because it is so close together and everyone is traveling with so much stuff, only half of the tables could really be occupied. They do not bus the tables quickly, and we had to ask the waitress to wipe off the table when we first sat down, even though she seemed perfectly happy to put our drinks on a dirty table.
You know, maybe you should just eat before you get there.
Wow. The most disrespectfull and unfriendly server, lets call him Little Garcon (French for by / waiter), I have EVER had in the USA.
Little Garcon w alks up, does not make eye contact, no smile, no ;"hello I am Little Garcon your unhappy , overworked and under appreciated under  achiever, what can I get you to drink", no. Just; "what are you drinking?"
Then Little Garcon walks off before I can even finish my sentence. He comes back and plonks the glass down on the table, nearly tipping it over on my macbook, without looking or waiting he turn and walks off.
Never came back to ask if I wanted anything,
What a DB. Obviously no tip.
If you want something to eat or drink go somewhere else, like the magazine shop. I am sure you'll get better service there.
Chili-okay
Salad-disappointing
Beer selection-good
Wings-excellent
Service-good
I was really surprised at how good these wings were, considering it was airport food. They were meaty and served with bleu& buffalo sauce on the side...nice not to have them drowning in buff sauce. If ur at seatac airport (N gate) i would highly recommend these..i can't say much for the rest of the menu tho. Have a beer and some wings.
For airport food, Bigfoot was filling, tasty, and reasonably priced. Â Maybe we weren't looking for anything fancy, but the nachos completely made our day. Â I would take time to swing over for a to-go order if I'm ever going through Sea-Tac again.
Thanks for a delicious lunch and great service. Â There was a hiccup with part of our order, but everything was fixed up quickly and painlessly.
WTF. Â You are apparently suffering from an identity crisis, so let me help you out.
You are an airport restaurant. Â You list yourself as a full-service restaurant. Â Your food, even by airport standards, is poor. Â Not especially tasty, not especially fresh. Â At least it comes up in a timely manner. Â Maybe in a smaller regional airport, or out on the public side of TSA where the bar is often set pretty low (although Vintage Washington Wine Bar out there is a pretty good place all things considering), you might be OK, but SEATAC's main concourse has some pretty fine dining and you don't even come close. Â Maybe you think because you're in the remote satellite you can offer lower quality food, but given that you're pretty much brand new, you had a real opportunity to bring decent food to an area that really needs it, and you blew it.
You are an airport restaurant. Â Do you think us flyers have all day? Â Why did I have to go hunt down my server to first get a refill on my beer, then later to actually get my check and pay - only to watch her taking her sweet time to get back to my table with my receipt so I can sign and get to my gate? Â A-i-r-p-o-r-t = people on the move, without time to futz around while you chat with the bartender, fumble thru your purse, or whatever else you choose to do while I watched the clock go from 10 minute before pre boarding when I wanted to pay and go, to first-class boarding and about to board the main cabin - without getting my check resolved.
