The Pecan Bistro

Adam and I were starving while at the airport at about 8:00 in the morning and this was the only real place in terminal f that was open to feed us.
We both got the breakfast panini and it was just over $ 21.00. The wait in line to order wasn’t very long and the cashier was super friendly. She was the stereotypical nice southern lady.
The food is cooked to order so I expected it to take a while to get our food but surprisingly it took longer to order than it did to get our food.
The hash browns were pretty good, they needed salt and pepper on them. Our panini’s were pretty good and filling. I think they were mostly filling just because there is so much bread but all well. The bacon and the eggs seemed to be cooked well.
Overall, a good option for breakfast especially since it is really your only option. Typically like all airport food, overpriced.

I’ve had breakfast here a few times as they are one of the only restaurants open in the early mornings.
The Southern breakfast includes scrambled eggs, choice of meat (I chose chicken sausage), home fries, and a few biscuit/​muffins.
The chicken sausage is actually pretty good. However, the scrambled eggs seem to come from a pre-​made mix and are very oily. The home fries are diced into really small pieces and then fried to an okay level of crispness.
The coffee is a bit watered down and weak.
The current 2.5 star rating is appropriate as it is somewhere between 2 — 3 stars. I take it down to 2 for value. I spent around $ 15 for the food and coffee.

Don’t let the fancy sign, faux brick backdrop, and enticing menu fool you… this place is not that good. I ordered a turkey and bacon panini with fries (choice of waffle fries or fruit cup) and added a bottled diet coke for $ 16 total.
I had high hopes when the cook came out from the back and made errthing fresh. The fries could have used another two minutes in the deep fryer, as they were soggy and a color closer to chalk than golden brown. I watched the cook ‘shake it like a salt shaker’ all over those fries, but somehow there was nary a grain of sodium anywhere on those waffley discs.
The sandwich was grilled perfectly and the Swiss cheese was melty… that’s where the compliments end. The turkey was lunch meat, which for a sandwich that costs more than $ 10 is totally lame. The bacon seems pre-​made and it was flabby and gross. He also stacked the two pathetic slices of bacon on top of each other like a skunk’s stripe, which wasn’t a big deal except that I had to get my dainty fingers dirty to separate the Siamese bacon twins.
Don’t get me wrong – I was hangry and I ate it, but I did not love it. I wished I had just ordered a grilled cheese and asked for well-​done fries, because that would have been awesome. I’ll try doing that next time if I end up in the F concourse at ATL!

If you have time between connections, take a stroll down to this terminal.
They have quite a few restaurants and I particularly like to eat here since they have a more hearty breakfast offering. This is also one of the walk up places so better if you are short on time.
We tried the sampler platter with a special sausage and shrimp and grits. Sure beats your breakfast sandwich or breakfast on the plane.
More expensive than the sandwich shops, but better quality food.

I paid $ 16 for one of the worst breakfasts I have ever had. Don’t go here if you don’t want to waste your money. My home fries were brittle and disgusting. The eggs were soggy. And the bacon was cheap and over salty. Do not recommend this place. Not to mention horrible service. When I went to the counter to let them know that my meal was much less then what I expected the manger just yelled at my asking what I wanted. He gave me a refund but in a very rude and uncaring manner. I was trying to explain to him what was wrong with my meal but he didn’t even let me finish my sentence. I hated to make a scene but I will not pay a ridiculous amount for poor quality and tasting food. Very upsetting experience.

Limited Breakfast Options in terminal F…
Service=B
Food = B
Service: The cashier was super friendly and professional! So much so, that I made the assumption that she was an owner. Independently, I would have given her an A+. However, the cook was visibly unhappy when the customer before me politely requested that her eggs be cooked a bit more. Then when the eggs were produced, they were terribly over cooked and looked unappetizing (the customer was dismayed, but decided against addressing it…).
Food: The pepper jack grits were AMAZING! However, their biscuits
were very dough-​like and mushy. I couldn’t eat them, and I love bread.
Since breakfast options a minimal in this part of the airport, I would definitely return for those grits. However, the next time I may try them with something else and steer away from the dough balls.

He food is good — when they aren’t out of stock. Three times eating here yields the same results — item I want out of stock. It has forced me to try other items with pleasing results. There are worse offerings on this concourse…

Having travelled through many airports around the globe, I’ve come to have low expectations when it comes to airport food. The Pecan Bistro’s menu sounded great and wooed me into ordering a Cajun grilled chicken sandwich with aoli. It came cold, which should have been the first sign that things would not turn out well. She offered to heat it and I agreed. Besides the lack of any flavor whatsoever, and barely a semblance of aioli, the chicken was still cold, and very dry. The lettuce was warm and the bread soggy. Clearly I made the mistake of thinking they’d heat up the chicken breast, not the entire sandwich. But the flavor and dryness made it possibly the worst meal Ive ever attempted to eat. After 2 bites, I had to toss it.

Had a flight leaving from terminal f (international terminal) and this is one of the few spots to grab breakfast. I was intimidated by what looked like long wait times but it was relatively quick for me because I ordered the basic biscuit with egg, cheese, and chicken sausage. It was really good. The chicken sausage is a little spicy, very subtle, but I liked that.
Food is cooked as you order so it can be slow. I told the woman at the register that my plane was boarding in ten minutes and she shared that with the chef. Otherwise it looked like some people had to wait a while.

Expensive. Less than acceptable food.
Bad experience overall.
Would unequivocally advise against.

Looking for the healthiest option, I noticed the Blackened Shrimp and Grits on the board and displayed beautifully. Grits aren’t exactly the healthiest, but a bite or two wouldn’t be bad. The wait was long and then I noticed that they didn’t Grill the shrimp– they fried them. Ultimately the end result was disgusting and in the picture in attaching.
Avoid.

Just a bowl of Curry Carrot Ginger Soup and a bottle of water.
The soup was good, but small portion for $ 7!
I’ll probably go back to Pei Wei next time.

I had dinner here while waiting for my flight. I ordered the mesclun salad with blackened shrimp. While the wait for the food was a bit long (which could be considered a good thing too, since it was being freshly made), the salad was quite enjoyable. The blackened shrimp was by far the highlight; the salad was decent. Good food for an airport.

Person who took my order was very rude. I ordered blacken shrimp. It took 30 minutes even though they only pan fry and squirt some pre-​made cold sauce out of a bottle. The grits were so thick and old I thought I was eatting a grit biscuit or something. The shrimp would have been good but they were hard from being in the sauté pan literally 30 minutes! You dont expect a serve yourself place in an airport to take so long, I mean we do have planes to catch!
Very slow, bad service and bad food for a high price!
By the way read someone Else’s review. The same pregnant lady waited on me. Although I don’t use the b word often, I agree with you she is a b! She wouldn’t even give me a tray to carry my food and water on. She was mean and rude. She wouldn’t even wait in me until the cook told her to!

The food had little flavor and the service was slow.

Was here for breakfast.
Had the Southern Breakfast with chicken sausage. The chicken sausage is tasty.
Other than that, have still to find a solid airport breakfast at ATL.
Not bad, not great.

This restaurant front is found in the Atlanta airport at the new international terminal «F?» Seating is general mall like setting. Beautiful and airy seating area!
SERVICE — C+
I’m giving the «+» for the friendly chef that I spoke to find out what he recommended for a late lunch experience. He liked the crab cake as it was more crab than breading.
The chef was nice answering questions. I then proceeded to order … The checkout girls looked bored and gave canned politeness. I felt they could care less I was giving them business or NOT!
FOOD — A
The crab cake cooked to order was more on crab than bread side. And nice spicy remoulade as accompaniment. $ 17.99. It’s pricey. But nice option for airport food.
PRICE — B
Good for fresh food cooked to order.
I would have given 4 stars if the girl had been pleasant.

Got a chicken sausage biscuit for breakfast. The egg was a bit greasy and the sausage piece was small (half a link), but the biscuit was really good and it was overall pretty tasty. Didn’t get a chance to try out the desserts, but the sweet potato pie, pecan pie, and banana pudding all looked pretty good.

not many options… we’ll see

The grits were amazing!
Nothing else was too exciting
