Are you waiting for your flight out of the Las Vegas airport looking for some decent food quick? You are in the WRONG place my friend... Yesterday my husband and I were exiled to the far distant D gates at McCarron International Airport where we had FORTY minutes until our Delta flight departed. As often happens while air traveling, our meal timing was way off and we were very hungry. We are accustomed to slog through the modern day date rape that is the TSA screening, then relax, have a drink and some food prior to boarding. I mean come on...everyone knows that airports nowadays have great dining at super fast speeds to accommodate their customer base - you know...people in a HURRY about to get on PLANES?!? Well the joke was ON US when we arrived at our gate. Only fast food outlets awaited us and we HATE fast food so we took a deep breath and made our way to the only actual restaurant in that area which was Chili's Too. We could see 3 empty tables, all of them covered with dirty dishes. One very unhurried hostess asked if we wanted a table. Uh...yeah why else are we here? I have never in my life seen a table cleaned off more slowly. We were then seated and provided with a limited menu but some decent looking selections, everything from salads to burgers. Then it happened... A woman, I assume a waitress, hurriedly passes us by and with a nice smile says the following "Forty minutes for food." Then she took off like a shot, leaving NO time to ask her what on earth that meant. My husband and I looked at each other awkwardly and he said "It can't possibly be 40 minutes for food. This place is in an airport and its not even that busy" A couple of minutes later our waitress comes by (we flag her down) Here's how it went down: Husband: "Is there a wait on food orders" Waitress: "Yes 40 minutes" Husband: "40 minutes from the time of seating or ordering?" Waitress: "It will take at least 40 minutes after you order sir" Husband: shocked speechless look "uh....ok..." We then quickly left and went on to have a disastrous experience at Quiznos, but that's another review (sigh) Rant: Ok so what part of AIRPORT restaurant does Chili's NOT UNDERSTAND?? Who are your customers? PEOPLE waiting for FLIGHTS who DON'T have that much TIME!! 40 minute waits are not uncommon it appears from reading other scathing yelper reviews here - seriously what the $&%*??? Avoid this place at all costs! If you are unfortunate enough to have to fly out of the D gates of terminal 1 - BRING A SNACK or plan to GO HUNGRY if you want any decent food!
