Chang’s, Atlanta Airport"},"content":{"rendered":"

As you know, I don’t usually review chain restaurants.\u00a0 Even those as nice as P.F. Chang’s.\u00a0 You also might have noticed that I review a lot of bars on the two coasts.\u00a0 Traveling back and forth I pass through Atlanta’s airport quite often.\u00a0 Very Often!<\/p>\n

Finding a place to eat and grab a Martini while transferring in an airport is rough.\u00a0 Historically airport food has been mediocre, at best.\u00a0 Thankfully times change and the options today are much better.\u00a0 Atlanta Airport is certainly right there with “One Flew South” and others.<\/p>\n

But I’m looking for a Martini, or two, between my flights and my choice is P.F. Chang’s. Which is located in the center of concourse A, upstairs.<\/p>\n

There are several reasons.\u00a0 First, the Martinis are good.\u00a0 Not super, not great, but well chilled, abundant, and reasonably priced.\u00a0 Second, I can sit at the bar and look out over the airport and watch the planes roll slowly by.\u00a0 Well part of the airport anyway, ATL is pretty huge.<\/p>\n

Third, the staff knows that people are in transit and they get your order to you quickly; food and drink.\u00a0 Fouth, there is a power outlet between every other seat at the bar.\u00a0 Perfect for charging your phone\/iPad\/Nexus or whatever.\u00a0 Finally, the people there are really very friendly.<\/p>\n

So P.F. Chang’s Atlanta Airport gets an ‘Honorable Mention’ in my review collection.\u00a0 And one stem:\u00a0 \"Martini<\/a><\/p>\n
