Great set-up, reasonably quick & courteous service. But my steak came up bland & chewy. Almost impossible to cut it using bread knife. Yes, no steak knife inside the secured area of airport.😁

Stopped by the Houston restaurant at YUL for a quick bite before my flight. The cauliflower popcorn was actually quite good - nice crunch & flavor - though there was a bit too much sauce on the salad it came with, which made it a little heavy.
Tried the fish tacos as well. They were tasty, fresh enough, but nothing particularly memorable. For airport food though, they did the job. I wish they offered plant-based options though other than Cauliflower popcorn.
Service was good - our server seemed pretty busy but was still friendly & attentive enough, especially considering the typical pace & environment of an airport restaurant.
As expected, prices were on the higher side for what you get. I still think it's a bit of a rip-off, but I guess that's the airport standard these days.
Overall, a decent option if you're passing through & need something quick & satisfying.
The food are very decent, I had the Texan burger. However, I'm more impressed with the service. I forgot my phone in the restaurant & the staff / manager quickly help bring it to Lost & Found.
A decent sit down airport restaurant. Food is good. I ordered the Houston burger with fries. The flavours were fine, nothing life changing but not disappointing. As far as airports go, it's fairly priced I think since everything past the gate is overpriced.
Service was quick & kind enough. I'd eat here alone again if I have some time to waste.
4 stars taking into consideration location (past security in airport) & expectations of airport places.
The worst nachos i have ever had...ever (most expensive too). It is an airport restaurant, so I guess I didn't expect much, which is good. Vending machine chips with some cheese melted on it & like a few items thrown on. They did give some kepcup type "salsa" & sour cream. They were quick too.
Quick bite in the airport before flying, usually next to gates for flights to the US. Food is so-so, acceptable, of course priced at airport level. Service is quite slow, which is not ideal for a "quick bite" before flight. Having observed the other tables after sitting down, I actually asked for my check right after my steak was served.
Service was fairly quick, & my waiter was very friendly & attentive. Eggsbenedict was bland & overcooked. Fries were fried dry, & so was the toast. Very expensive for poor food.
