National Airport Grill in Arlington

Unfortunately I regret eating breakfast here before my flight. The pros: ample seating, close to gates 10-14, fast service and reasonably polite staff those honestly keep it from being a 1star. I hate to have a review this low but if it's earned then it's earned.

Because of the limited options for a meal, I decided to give this place a second chance. Bad decision. I ordered the BLT. The bacon was dry, burned, and tasteless. The fried green tomato was really greasy and the arugula was minimal. I will never eat here again, even if it's the only option available.

The terminal/gate that we were at, there were not that many options in terms of getting food and beverages - it literally seemed as if the National Airport Grill was the only food joint.  Since we were both famished, my husband ordered one breakfast sausage/egg/cheese croissant sandwich and a small soda to go.  I was impressed at the size of the sandwich as it was pretty monstrous and definitely big enough to share.  The sausage itself was turkey (healthier option, I suppose!), and there was a good cheese and scrambled egg ratio with the flaky croissant.  It was hot and fresh and it definitely held us over!  The soda was cold and refreshing and not anywhere near flat. ;D  If you're feeling hunger pains and need some food on-the-go, check out the National Airport Grill - you may have no other options, but it's a decent one to get a food fix. +breakfast sausage/egg/cheese croissant
