Since we often have a fairly close connection and seem to hit the clubs at lunch time or dinner time, we quite frequently buy food in the clubs.
Our preference is the D club... for one, they usually have everything available on the menu (A is often out of this or that), and IF there's time to go to a D restaurant we'll do that. So it gives us a nice choice.
The food for purchase at the Clubs are really pretty good. I LOVE the Cobb Salad with Avocado dressing (We often buy one to go for a noon flight and the flight attendents always ask where I got it). The hot sandwiches are great. The soup du jour is good. For a quick meal, it really can't be beat if you are a bit short on time to head for a restaurant.

Here's another vote for Cantina Laredo! It's where we eat when we have plenty of time for connections. Really nice Tex-Mex. Plus they have Negra Modela beer!!

Have you looked at the (scant) nutritional information provided? All of the sandwiches have > 1000 mg of sodium, with one topping out OVER 4000 mg of sodium.
They sound good... but everytime I look at the menu, I cringe.

DFW AC D HotSpot Connection Issues
Yesterday I stopped by and try to connect to the hotspot - I was able to after about 5 minutes and while I had a very strong signal, noticed that my browsing speed was super slow... Did mention that to the AC staff and they mentioned that they were experiencing some connection issues on 4/22.
Anyone else noticed slow connection speeds yesterday?

Looks the Cobb is the only thing that is halfway-reasonable.

I'm with the the previous posts on this....plenty of better food options at D than the A/C. Just my two pence.

Former Flagship Lounge in DFW Terminal A Admirals Club
I don't know if this is the appropriate place to ask this, but I've been meaning to post about this for a while.
A couple of months ago, I was at the DFW Terminal A Admirals Club. I am EXP and was travelling to Europe with my PLT fiancée. I had heard about the defunct Flagship Lounge...FTers had mentioned that it is accessible to anyone and far less crowded than the main part of the club. We decided to take a peak on our way out. As we emerged, one of the AAngels came rushing from the front desk, scowling. "That area is for members only! You can't just walk in there!" Everyone standing in line to check in looked at us in horror. I was quite taken aback by her tone but brushed it off and left. We are not currently AC members (although I have been in the past). This AAngel had not checked us in, so I am pretty sure she had no idea whether we were AC members or not. What membership was she referring to? CK? Yes, I could've asked her, but at the moment, I just assumed I had broken some rule I was unaware of.
Has anyone else tried to access the former Flagship Lounge and been verbally assaulted by an AAngel?

That is odd. I go back there all the time to work (outside of the few times they had it closed off for meetings). Not once have I been reprimanded for doing so.
