I think it's safe to say the HA lounges are at the bottom of the list but if you have access to just about any other lounge like the AC for Lounge+ members, you are better off going there especially if you're looking for some type of actual hot meal which you won't get in the majority (or all but one) of the HA lounges. It sounds like the HA lounge with the pancake machine (also in the AC) stepped up their game a little compared to the rest which are snack mix and soda/coffee only.
