You can find the maximum stay requirement if there is one on the PP website. That being said, none of the of the other restaurants publish one, but I doubt the wait staff would be happy with customers continuing to loiter at tables after they're done eating unless they keep ordering drinks. Their tip income depends on tables turning over.

Wondering if anyone has had trouble using this restaurant on arrival. More specifically I'm flying a red eye LAX - JFK, and would like to have breakfast when I land. Technically I wouldnt have a same day boarding pass, even though I arrived same day.

They do a visual check of your boarding pass (phone or physical) when you present the PP card at seating. Most times, the host will look at the departures board they have inside the restaurant as a courtesy to see if they need to rush you.
Fair warning, the breakfast is pretty mediocre but still your best option in T8 if you can't get into Admirals Club.

I have the same question, were you able to use it upon arrival?

Every lounge or restaurant establishes its own guest policy. Neither Priority Pass nor Chase can change this. Chase is willing to PAY for two guests, but they do not determine the maximum number of guests admitted.

The terminals are not connected airside. I don't think TSA checks/cares if the boarding pass is for a different terminal so you should be able to access. You will need to allow time to exit, take the airtrain, then re-clear security at your terminal.

I just booked my flight out of JFK so I could use the pass here. Hopefully the breakfast is good at Bobby Vans or at least better than I could get at the centurion lounge at LGA.
