ROLLING STONE BAR LA International Airport — Restaurant in Los Angeles

I had some time to kill while waiting for my flight so I decided to hang out at the bar here for little bit. I sat at the bar cuz i needed the charging ports for my phone. The bartender asked what I was having. I have been on non-alcoholic ginger beer (think ginger ale with a more intense ginger flavor) kick lately so I asked for one. She asks do you want any thing with that (implying alcohol in it). I say no. I order two more over my time there (served up in a cute little 7oz bottle along with a plastic cup and some ice and a wedge of lime). I also ordered a hamburger with cheese and bacon medium. It came out crusty dry and overcooked.

I said nothing about the hamburger. That was my fault but the bill came and it was $49 and change!?!?!. $24 and change was for the 3 ginger beers I ordered. I had no idea it would be this expensive. I questioned the bartender and she said we don't typically sell the ginger beer with out adding alcohol so she had to charge me like she did add alcohol. I asked to talk to the manager. I said to him that $24 for three 7oz soda's is a bit much. He said I can give you the 3 shots to go with it if you like. I said that's ridiculous. He said welcome to LAX. I said OMG its not like I'll come here ever again!! I paid my bill and added $0.00 as the tip (the waitress should have backed me up on the issue...

Ah, the Rolling Stone bar... how do I describe thee? Some adjectives come to mind as I recall the embarassing quality of food that was served to me: abysmal; depressing, sad. We ordered a chicken sandwich and turkey blt. The chicken sandwich which composed of microwaved chicken tenders topped with a thin veneer of cheese plastic that slightly resembled a microwaved Kraft American single. This concoction was gently sandwiched in a crumpled cardboard bun. Delish.

The turkey blt monstrosity fared slightly better with a shell of crunchy toasted hard bread embracing a thin layer of school lunch meat turkey, two sad wilted "strips" of bacon, and shredded wilty lettuce.

I tried to take photos of our plates, however the AI feature on my phone was revolted by the sight of the food and refused to cooperate. Don't fret however, the star of the show was French fries which were slightly more passable.

I'm not sure what is going on in a kitchen where the quality of a fast food restaurant seems like a Michellin star operation. It seems that whoever prepares the food here gave up. Hopefully that changes.

LTDR: skip this place and go somewhere else unless you'd like to spend $60 or more on sub...

Sat at a table and waited for the waitress for 15 minutes. She walked past us numerous times and refused to make eye contact. When I finally got her attention and asked to order she informed us they were closed. I walked up to the bar because I can still see the bar back serving drinks. I ask to order and he says they closed 5 minutes ago, while he's still taking orders and pouring drinks. I told him we had been waiting there for 10 minutes so he agrees to make our drinks. It takes him another 20 minutes to make our drinks while he's still taking orders when the bar is supposedly closed. Unfortunately for $40 our drinks both came without any alcohol. The staff is rude and I would not come here unless you have a long layover and expect to wait at least 40 minutes for a drink. Would give this place zero...
