Beecher's Handmade Cheese - LAX

"Got off at six hour flight, had the best macaroni and cheese ever outside of my own house. And I’m from Wisconsin and a lemon drop martini fantastically, fast, sweet and efficient lovely staff."

"Waiting for our food and drinks was so long that if we would have been in a rush we would’ve totally missed our flight. There were barely costumers on the bar and the two chefs were just chatting outside the kitchen even if our order was made more than 20min ago. The waiter tried to compensate by being funny and nice (the only good thing I can comment on) but probably they should hire more people because despite trying his best the wait was unjustifiable. Their policy was that a 20% extra on the bill was charged for the bartender/servers (see the picture) but this culture doesn’t promote the staff to provide the quality service they are supposed to. Awful experience."

"They almost forgot our soup, otherwise, tasty and reasonably priced for the airport (gratuity included in price so it's actually cheaper than other places menu prices) Bartender is entertaining, he likes to joke around. We were also getting over a cold and he was very accommodating by offering some warm water with our meal."

"First time trying the chain, but we had a pretty decent toasted cheese and french onion soup. We paid about $21 for the combo, so it’s definitely on the expensive side, but definitely hit the spot for what we wanted. Was open late as well, and service was nice, less busy than the food court for sure!"

"This place doesn't serve anything like Beecher's Mac & Cheese. Microwaves and school cafeterias probably do better. I was expecting something like their OG mac & cheese and instead got bland, mushy penne with a watery sauce and no spices. I'll have to wait until I'm back in Seattle to have the real deal, I guess. The 8oz Mac & Cheese is $10 and the 16oz is $15.60--which frankly isn't too bad of a price for airport food. However, I feel the food was sub-par. They have four beers ($13) on tap: Firestone Walker 805 Asahi Modela Especial Lagunitas IPA Also, four canned beers/seltzer that vary ($11). It's one of the few spots in the terminal (TBIT) that has a TV at the bar, but they can't show NFL games for some reason, just live game stats. One thing going for it: It is mere steps from the "unlisted" smoking area of LAX--the only one on the air-side, after security. Even if you don't smoke, it is an outdoor deck and with great views of the "Hollywood" sign and the aircraft taking off and landing. That said, it's a food court, so all the other spots are also mere steps from that hidden jem. Lastly, like most places, there is a mandatory 20% service charge. However, the default app they use (Toast) puts an additional 18% on top of that, so make sure you notice that you're tipping nearly 40%."
