Revive

The service is terrible and the food is less than mediocre. Save your time and your money.

Waitress didn’t really care that we sat down with an appetizer for 16 minutes with our glasses empty. Food was cheap and not worth it. Staff was in a huge hurry to check their phones and not smile. It wasn’t worth the time to we wasted. Really disappointed we chose this place.

I stopped in here for a quick bite and developed a true liking to the environment. Yes, the prices are high, however, it is an airport.
I ordered the Pinot Grigio and Enchilada. The wine was excellent and the enchilada was tasty.
I appreciate the hookups for electronic devices at the bar!
The staff was very friendly and attentive.
I will most likely stop here again when I have a layover in Terminal F.

Staff could not have been nicer! Terminal F is working it! The atmosphere is perfect for a long layover. Also phoneaholics you can charge your stuff at the bar.

Between being skeptical about the previous reviews and simply excited about a food option in Terminal F, I braved it today.
I fly roughly 150 flights a year and Philly is my home airport. I’m here a couple times a week to eat. My usual place is Cibo Bistro in Terminal B.
The music was good and the atmosphere seemed fun. The hostess seated me at my table with a menu. It took a full 15 minutes for the waitress to come over to take my order. Which allowed me to watch the inner operations.
First, let’s begin with there’s no kitchen. It’s a long bar with a little food station tucked into the corner. One guy toasts the bread, while the other one piles on the sandwich contents and the whole thing goes into a big convection microwave (similar to what Starbucks and Courtyard’s bistro use for their food). Then a small pile of greens is placed on the corner of the plate with the sandwich.
Then the now freshly prepared plate goes up onto a bar mat next to a handful of glasses the previous waitress dropped for the bartender. It’s not just the clean food and dirty glasses that rest together on the bar mat. All the outgoing beers, wine and cocktails sit on this same mat as well as all their garnishes. On repeated occasions I watched the three all come in contact with one another — the fresh food, a cold beer and someone’s dirty straw.
Finally the waitress came over. No greeting, just a what to drink and are you ready to order food. I ordered the chicken panini and a glass of Shiraz.
The food took another 15 minutes to come out. I watched the plates the entire time going up onto the dirty bar mat. I watched mine and thankfully it didn’t come in contact with anything before it made it to me.
The salad was meh, the dressing was about half of the quantity needed for a salad that size. The «chicken panini» was simply two pieces of Texas Toast, a precooked chicken breast, two little strips of bacon, an unknown sauce and green apple slivers. It was terrible.
When I was done I sat for about 5 minutes until the waitress offered my check. When she brought it to me, I asked her about dirty glasses and plates on the bar mat with fresh food going out. She said they do it all the time.
If you have no other option, enjoy a glass of wine, cocktail or beer here but hope it didn’t touch a dirty dish on its way to you and at all costs, avoid the food.

The chicken and goat cheese salad was pretty good as was the Pinot Grigio. Will definitely dine here again while waiting for a layover. The F terminal is where all the decent foodie places are… sure some are chains but it’s an airport!

Our breakfast at Revive was okay, given that it was airport food. If this restaurant was anywhere else it would be a two star experience, but it’s so hard to get a decent meal in most airport terminals that my expectations were low. And they were fully met.

Lindsay is the best bartender. So friendly and funny. Made my flight delay so enjoyable!

Horrible waitress. Delivers my beer in a can without a cup — never experienced that ever until now. Took her 20 minutes to ask what I wanted to order — and by that time I just wanted to leave. Paid with no tip.

Ohhhhh Terminal F… you are trying to improve, but not there quite yet. Revive is ok for a drink while you are waiting for your next delayed flight out of Philly, but the food meh. Grab a drink on the fly, but look for eats elsewhere.

Ordered antipasto with «selection of meats and cheeses». No meat, one cheese. Also featured olives. Guess what … no olives. Sent it back, lame apology. They exist to rip off busy travelers. Go next door.

With a bland and limited menu and agonizing slow service, Revive is everything that an airport restaurant should not be. With the limited menu the item should at least be tasty and I had to eat here at least seven times while traveling. I could almost live with the land overpriced food work not for the waitstaff
At my last visit I nearly had to beat down the server to even get a menu. Then my waiter failed to bring me my ice tea. She then failed to bring sugar and gave me a pained look when I asked for it. She also brought me a glass of hot tea without ice so I had to get a glass of ice to chill the tea.
Then came the blend Cesar with almost no dressing. I asked for an additional side dressing which required a lengthy trip to Nepal by the waitress. After that, it was almost too late for me to even eat the mail Neil and catch my plane.
Despite most multiple requests to expedite my bill and giving the waitress my credit card, I had to stand next to her at her station to physically make her run the card so I could catch my plane. Meanwhile the greeter out front of the restaurant did absolutely nothing. There seem to be enough waitstaff on hand so I’m not sure whether they were new incompetent or just unmotivated. I have eaten here at least 5 times as it is the only sit down choice in Terminal F.
I can’t wait until the new food court opens up in terminal F with more options. There’s so many other good options in the other terminals I look forward to having the same choices. But stay away from this place

I fly a lot but not usually out of Terminal F so I was a 1^st timer here. All I wanted was a drink and a place to sit while I waited out a flight delay.
This place is quite new and the first thing I noticed was the power outlets all along the bar. This should be required for every airport bar! Virtually every person I saw sitting at the bar smiled when they saw them. MUCH APPRECIATED!
My drinks were typical airport prices and my bartender was friendly. No problems with customer service. They got the job done so three stars from me.

Mr manager please get a station for your hostess and a sign. It is awkward walking up to the restaurant because you dont know if your to wait to be seated or its self service. When she seats someone, the next guests that walk up are confused since no one is here to greet them.
The caesar salad was big but plain. Lots of lettuce and that’s about it. Not much dressing or anything else. I added chicken thank god or I would have bagged it for a homeless rabbit. The service is terrible. I waited to order so long I ordered my drinks and food at the same time. Then I had to flag the waitress down to get my check. And now I am still waiting. Unfortunately it’s the only restaurant in the F concourse. Maybe opt for a pre made sandwich next door.

Yuk…0 stars if I could.
I stopped in for breakfast due to the lack of offerings in this airport wing. Never ever again.
Ordered an American cheese omelette. How hard can that be? Came to the table and looked like a crêpe. Had to send back the first one because it had onions in it. Second one I took 1 bite and called the waitress over. Asked if these were real eggs and she was polite enough to look me in the eye and say they are frozen eggs because they cannot cook anything in the restaurant… no stove or oven.
The English muffin I ordered toasted… came back limp… obviously microwaved where. They also micro bacon as it tasted like bacon.
Coffee was terrible and mug had coffee stains on the lip.
Waitress was very good… not her fault. felt bad and even though the experience was terrible did not take it out on her tip.
Give them credit for not charging me for the omelette but definitely not a reason to go back.
Looked like they had a great assortment of beer and spirits… so maybe they should stick to serving alcohol and chips.
Don’t think I ever rated something a 1… But sorry owners you need to really understand what you can do and what you can’t do without a stove or oven and stop trying to get over on your patrons because in the long run they will never come back with this type of food.

No breakfast at 10? Lunch only — that’s lame… especially after a red eye flight!

This place is awful the worst omelet I have ever had. The eggs are from a carton the mushrooms from a can and the tomatoes frozen. The portion size is for a kid and the service awful stay away!

This place gets four stars for an airport resturant. I had the Philly Cheese steak and it exceeded expectations. The service was quick and I liked that there were power outlets on the bar. I was able to eat work and charge my phone.

This place is awful. A twelve year old could make better. Food bad. There’s three guys in the left corner of the bar with panini presses who make everything. How can you call yourself a restaurant without a stove?! No appetizers. I just wanted a little something but you had to order a main course (read sandwich or salad). No french fries, chips only. The cheesesteak had pour on cheese, the onions and mushrooms were raw. I guess that happens when there is no stove with sauté pan. There aren’t even burgers on the menu.
The décor looks like an kindercare with bright colors and plastic chairs. Music great. Good liquor and beer selection. Only a few cheap wine to choose from.
I feel like a hostage here since its the only bar and sit down restaurant in terminal F. Ugh… almost makes u never want to fly out of terminal F ever again. I feel sorry for people with flight delays. This is not the place to hang.

Not bad for airport food and very fast service. I had the arugula salad with chicken. It was large and filling. Kind of pricey, but expected for an airport.
The wine tasted a little watered down, but it was the only bar in terminal F and I needed a drink, so whatever. Compared to places outside an airport it wouldn’t get 3 stars, but it’s one of the better airport placed I have been too lately.
