TSA keeps doing weird things at PHL --- it may be different next week! The C checkpoint -- which is only precheck for the moment -- was fast. It's just not very convenient to the Centurion Lounge.

Stopped by today for my first time having lunch at this lounge and found it okay. The albóndigas, rice and, brócoli were good while the rest was ok. The cocktails don’t disappoint. No wait to get in and the lounge wasn’t too crowed on the inside.

Stopped by yesterday at about 1:00 PM. The lounge wasn't too crowded (no wait to get in), and the food was tasty. I had the Tomato Za'taar soup, harissa chicken thigh and persian rice (and chocolate chip cookies of course). Overall very nice.

While researching something else I discovered:

Stopped in last Friday at 6 PM. Announced a 20 minute wait so I sat around the area by the elevators (do note it is not set up well for waits) but after five minutes was allowed in
Three craft beers on tap which is great
The chicken, rice and carrots were actually all excellent. I was very happy with my dinner here.
As an observation I would say mask enforcement is as strict as I've seen at any CL. They made announcements threatening arrests, removal, fines etc. and agents came around to tell people even if they had food and drink in front of them to put their masks on.
