If tip is expected or would be polite and the right thing to do, how much do you guys recommend leaving?
IME, tipping is very much expected in FFD. Depending on the airport, sometimes they left you a little clipboard at the end of your meal where it was clearly implied tipping was expected. I always just left a $20 - whether I had a full meal or stopped in for a nightcap/dessert upon arrival. The service always seemed to at least justify that amount, in my opinion. YMMV.
