Rel’lish Burger Lounge

The burger was delicious, especially if you like the flavor of relish. While there was no perceptible relish in the burger sauce, the sauce itself tasted like relish. A little overpowering for my palate but overall delicious anyway. The fries were good also. The coffee was Umbria which was brewed to perfection. The prices were a little high ($16 for a burger), but that's what you expect at the airport. Service was friendly.

This is the best restaurant/bar I've been to in ANY airport. I ate all of the French fries before I even noticed I hadn't used ketchup...crispy, hot, salty. Perfect. The burger was pretty good and the drink was amazing. The bartender/mixologist definitely takes pride in their work. I will definitely come back.

The airport is a place of clarification and understanding. Many of us are enduring multi-day heroic journeys. April, my waitress, was a guide and support we all turn to during hard times. Bouncing table to table even working her *ss off, she is patient, accommodating and kind to the droves of us at bad times in our journeys. My plane had been rerouted to Portland due to fuel shortage and poorly timed fog, so there was no shortage of fussy perturbed travelers in her bar. I have particular food sensitivities, meaning, I have to ask a lot of questions. Even amidst the lunch rush, April was kind and reassuring and helped me get my first meal in nearly 24 hours. Upbeat and keen, April saw me on my way, fed and well, on a long, hard journey. Despite first world trappings, some of us don’t have a lot of choices. We navigate bureaucratic systems and try to make our way with the resources we have and rely on the kindness of others to make up the difference. She’s a gem and a queen and I hope you have the pleasure of engaging with her. Be kind. These women bind our lives in the hardest times. She is the modern innkeeper of us unfortunate travelers. We don’t know what others around us are going through and April is a model of openness that sees us all through some difficulty.
