Went with a party of 4. I had the shrimp gumbo. They supplied plenty of fish but it couldve used more rice to offset the powerful flavor of the sauce. Oddly enough for a seafood oriented dish, I found the sausage to be one of my favorite parts of the dish. For what looked like a small plate, it actually felt like a lot of food once I was done with it. Yes, the food may seem very pricey, but its one of those things I had to try once since I work at the airport and am interested in eating in different restaurants every week. Our waiter was very friendly and helpful in recommending which dishes were popular and delicious. The menu could have been better designed. Some of the plates came with a free side, but dont list it. All of a sudden, youre off guard when the waiter asks you what side and you have to flip back to a side. Other plates come with a side, but dont specify beforehand that the choice of side is yours and can be changed. A lot of prices arent listed, understandably because the price of seafood is fluctuating, but you can estimate around 18 bucks on average. Great place if you have money!

My boyfriend just had a connecting flight and stopped in for a meal. He had the Tuna Burger with Broccoli. One hour later upon arriving in Richmond, he has now been stuck in the bathroom on the floor at the Richmond airport with food poisoning. It is unacceptable for a restaurant who supposedly specialized in seafood to have a case of food poisoning. I wonder how many other unassuming victims had the tuna today.... Well be reporting it to to health department first thing so that hopefully it doesnt happen to anyone else. Who knows what else might be tainted.

As an employee of the airport, its very hard not to eat here everyday. They are the best place to get the most out of your dollar for the portion size given. Their breakfast menu is simple yet tasty. I can add extras without the extra headache. Id definitely recommend for anyone passing through that wants a quick but tasty bite to eat before a flight. They also offer adult beverages for those whod like to indulge.

I wasnt expecting much, this being at the airport. But I was wrong. It was great. Attentive and fast service. Delicious food. Had the gazpacho and the shrimp cocktail first. The jumbo shrimp werent too jumbo, but they were fresh and cold and perfect. Had a greek salad which needed some hot peppers and cucumbers in my opinion. But it was good and very fresh. A pleasant surprise at the airport.

My husband and I stopped in for a beer between flights. We were first pleasantly surprised that they had gluten free beer! We enjoyed a couple, then decided to order food. The bartender said they also had a gluten free menu and I got to enjoy fish and chips that I didnt have to cook! The portion was plenty for me, the breading crisp, the fish delicious. Great service!

Only one negative thing, it is in the secure terminal area. So if you want to have some food with someone not traveling with you it has to be a takeout order. I stop here frequently when flying out or coming back home. My wife loves their cream of crab soup, and I have not ever had a menu item I did not like. They are very aware of food allergen issues.

Good place to consume your boring time of waiting for next flight. Wine, good. Food good. I tried Rhode Island style calamari and clam chowder. Both are good to meat at the airport restaurant. little bit pricy, but its acceptable cause its located in airport. I may use this restaurant, next time I have a large waiting time at PHL airport. Good to go!

Food was very good, and the value was surprisingly good for what I received; normally airport food is mediocre (at best), and fish-in-a-barrel pricing. Service was good: present enough for when I wanted something without being overbearing. Im normally in and out of E terminal, but this is worth the walk all the way to C.

Pleasantly surprised that a airport restaurant was this good. I enjoyed the Tabasco calamari, crab cakes for an appetizer and for dinner I had the clam chowder and salmon. The cherry on top was the attentive and charming service Joel provided. Thank you and I look forward to coming back the next time in Philly!

Excellent seafood. The Legal Seafood Combo is a great low cal choice: one large crab cake, scallops, shrimp, and a lovely mixed green salad with dried cranberries. Responsive service, comfortable atmosphere, nice food and drink menu. Airport food? You cant go wrong with this choice.

I would never expect for an airport resturant how great the service would have been but this is some of the best service I have ever had. Our waiter Michael was great and really went over and beyond. The food speaks for itself...a great experience and atmosphere.

Same review as HeidiAnn... Had the (expensive) ahi tuna which seemed good. Couple hours later I had food poisoning. Not good when youre away from home, not good when youre in transit from one place to the other, not good when youre about to board a plane.

Service was good and friendly. Unexpected for the airport. Clam strips included the belly, so theyre good if you like authentic (wife likes the less ocean tasting variety). Legal sangria was very tasty. Would stop in again. Thanks Mandi.

I didnt expect to find really good seafood at an airport, but was very happy that Legal Sea foods proved me wrong! Fortunately we had the time to enjoy a chowder appetizer, a seared salmon entree, and dessert - all delicious ☺️

Tasty but could be better. Cream of crab soup had a wonderful flavor but woefully inadequate crab and we halved a Salmon salad that also was good except for the wrinkled old tomatoes. So close to being very good.

Staff was excellent- food was nice,hot and came out promptly. I ordered the fish and chips which were very tasty and battered perfectly, the salad was nice and fresh, and the chowder was excellent

Its not dirt cheap, but this is a wonderful place to stop in the airport. Nice staff, great food (chowder!), and the decor makes it easy to forget youre in the airport. Between terminals B and C.

Maryland cream of crab was a little too light on the crab and flavor for what I expected. Salad was very good though. Food came out quickly and the wait staff was friendly.

Great place for seafood sandwiches at the airport. Had the seared tuna special and it was awesome. Quick service and bit pricey but it is the airport so theres that.

For an airport restaurant, I give it five stars. Service was really good. Fish was fresh. And it sure beats the greasy fast food options in the rest of the airport.

10am Thursday morning. Really bad service at bar. Really long wait for food. Flat champagne served in a wine glass. (Had an excellent lunch here a few months ago).

It should be illegal to charge these kinds of prices for such bland food. The fries were good though. I had the mug of crab bisque and tuna burger.
