Corona Beach House — Restaurant in Florida

This place seems deceitful. I've visited this place many times over the years as Miami is a common stopover from Philadelphia to the Caribbean and South America and I have had Priority Pass since 2016. While the food quality has always been medium and the location a bit grimy, it has also always been convenient due to its location in the terminal.

So I was quite surprised on my last visit when I was abruptly (and rudely) told that Chase "left them" and suddenly I couldn't use my priority pass. This woman waved her hand to signify Chase leaving them, I suppose, and immediately walked away - she didn't ask us if we still wanted to sit and eat.

Looking at other reviews, I see other people surprised to see that Amex, Capital One, and now apparently Chase are all NOT accepted by this location. Which makes me question, which card DO they accept priority pass from? That seems like pretty much all the major credit card players. And why is this not mentioned on their Priority Pass page?

This was incredibly frustrating as we walked by the Turkish Airlines lounge, that DOES accept priority pass, and skipped it expecting we'd be able to eat here. We ended up wasting $70 to eat elsewhere (I don't patron places that are rude to me) because at that point we didn't have time to walk back to the Turkish lounge before our flight and we'd been travelling all day and were starving. Something feels off here - if they're not in the priority pass network for specific cards anymore, they should get an update to the priority pass website as a sign of good faith. I've seen plenty of Priority Pass lounge locations mention specific entry requirements and be transparent about who can't visit. Without this transparency, people will continue to feel that they're being duped or treated...

Reliable. But understand that details.

Great alternative if you don’t have time for the Centurion Lounge.

1. They aren’t quick. Even at a dead time, expect to wait a minimum 20-25 min for your food. Even at 6am for breakfast. It will never be quick. But if you budget your time accordingly, it’s reliable.

2. It doesn’t always fill up. But sometimes, rarely, it does.

3. As of July 2023, Priority Pass is $30 per person, inclusive of tip. I’m typically by myself and below $30. I will throw an extra $5 down if the waiter was helpful. I will also add on bottled waters if I’m well below the $30 to get that tip up.

4. Priority Pass is dine in only. It’s the priority pass rules, not the restaurant. If you’re nice to them, they will accommodate you if you’re in a rush. But again, it’s not quick. So if you’re running late, this isn’t your joint.

5. The food will feed you. You will be full. But you will not be craving the meal at any time in the future.

Overall I give it 5 stars. However, the first few times I went, I was not happy— for the reasons mentioned above. But eventually you can refer to the Corona Beach House as...

I wish I could rate this place higher but the Customer Service sucked. I ordered a to go order and the young lady serving appeared to be having a really bad morning. I placed my order and went to sit down until it was ready. As I sat in the area my food was apparently placed on the counter close to the register. I wasn’t sure if it was mine as it was a few customers in the area. At this point the cashier was sitting at the bar on her phone ( looking or reading it). I finally made eye contact with her and she pointed to my food by the register indicating that was my order. I got up was proceeded to get my bag as she continued on her phone at the bar. If your phone is more important than your customers then maybe you’re in the wrong business. As great as the food is I’ll never go back and I’m the airport often for this reason I’m giving this location two stars. Customer Service is everything and word of mouth is more. There’s too many options in the airport to eat at treat your customers as if you appreciate...
