"Westfield Montgomery’s 700-seat food court is unusually busy and houses 35 eateries — from chains like Shake Shack, California Pizza Kitchen, Cheesecake Factory, Cinnabon, McDonald’s, and Panda Express to newcomers — and the mall’s willingness to host a full bar in the food court has allowed operators like HalfSmoke to offer cocktails and compete with larger chains while reaching more customers than their other locations combined." - Lenore Adkins
