Antonelli's new location is amazing. It combines the personal cheese monger experience you love at their Hyde Park location with a new restaraunt that is amazing. I ended up buying all the cheese's I tried. The mongers were friendly and knowledgeable and everything we tried was delicious. The location at the Fareground allows you to enjoy a quick bite, or settle in with a cheese plate and pairing it with wine or beer from the bar and hangout with your friends for a while. I will definitely be going back!

A great continuation to their Hyde Park store. They serve meal items such as cheese/charcuterie boards (!!), soup, grilled cheese and prepared sandwiches alongside their classic cheese counter. Friendly service that is very knowledgeable and can walk you through the selection process. Also, Fareground is just awesome and a great experience. Go early to beat the lunch crowd!

Really enjoyed the cheese board! Great choices of cheese and loved the description card that came with it. Hats off to the goat cheese brie from Honey Doe Farm....perfect balance of creaminess and stinky feet- loved it. Would give this place 5+ stars, but they didn't have any non-pork meat options and that kind of bummed me out. Definitely an A+ cheese shop with friendly service and lots of great tastes!

I'm so excited about Antonelli's new location downtown in the Fareground. They not only have the amazing case of exquisite cheeses and informative mongers to help select and pair, but now also serve cheese boards and food. The gooey grilled cheese on Easy Tiger bread was amazing. I also tried the burrata panzanella salad, which was delicious! I can't wait to try the mac 'n cheese next visit. I'll be back soon.

Antonelli's get all the stars from me because they are an All Star part of our community. If you like cheese (and who doesn't?) you will LOVE this place. Super cool new location downtown that is nestled in with some of the best chefs in Austin. What a combination! I'm really enjoying watching this great local business grow in size and influence in the community. They do good and help us eat good and you can't get "more good" than that!

Antonelli's at Fareground is a welcome addition to downtown Austin. I have always enjoyed visiting the Hyde Park location and this team successfully transferred the cheese enthusiasm and knowledge from the Hyde Park shop - to 1st and Congress. I'll look forward to frequenting Antonelli's. It's a great place to lunch or dinner.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the second location of Antonelli's Cheese Shop! Especially the addition of the yummy lunch, dinner and snack options that they now offer. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and nothing beats getting the chance to sample delicious cheese as you wait in line. Love the ambiance, the location, the menu and the people. Perfectly executed!

We have loved the Hyde Park location for many years, and this new location is a treat! Antonelli’s cheese, as always, is the best you can find anywhere, and now you can order simple meals from their kitchen: we enjoyed excellent tomato soup with a unctuously melting grilled sandwich and faultless salad – all perfectly judged and mouthwateringly good! Very friendly, knowledgable and helpful cheesemongers, and iconic Antonelli attention to detail & presentation.

I love a good food hall! I tried the vegetable dumplings from Little Wu, which were flavorful and generously sized. My family ordered from other restaurants, and everyone enjoyed their meals. It's a fun and charming spot to hang out with friends or family!

My experiences with food halls have been mixed, but I'm still interested in checking them out when I come across them. Fareground is probably the most nicely appointed I've come across. It's busy without being overwhelmingly noisy, and there's a decent amount of seating and space. That said, there simply aren't enough vendors here. Only four actual restaurants makes for disappointingly slim pickings for a city of Austin's size. Hopefully, that can change in the future.

It took a second to find it, but so glad we did. It is across from the JW in the bottom level of the office building across the street!! This is a cute "food court" full of enjoyable eateries! We had the tacos but no need to go there again, they were good but nothing to write him about. I hope to get back down there to try the soup dumplings or the Venezuelan food!!!!! You can get better tacos at the TacoDeli down the street. It has a great seating area that looks up to the street and they have outside dining, great for those furbabies!!! They come around and pick up your trays, which was super nice!! If you are downtown check them out!

I went to Little Wu to get some dumplings and they were definitely dumplings, though too crispy and too large and puffy to enjoy the filling in the initial bite. For like fast gyoza it's alright though, filling! The food hall itself looked much more spacious in pictures, it felt a fit cramped in person. I definitely think they intend on guests eating outside, which is definitely okay for a great weather day. It's very clean and cute inside though with kind staff so that was great. I'd love to try one of their other vendors though, I'd go back!

I really like the vibe of Fareground! I went on a chilly Saturday afternoon after a 2 mile walk. I ordered something from 4 of the stalls and had a couple of drinks from the bar. They have drink specials daily. There's plenty of seating inside, outside and at the bar. The service from each merchant was good. I'm glad I checked it out at the last minute. It's a great place to meet up with friends or family, blind date, any casual occasion.

I've been wanting to check this place out for a long time. Sadly, when I visited there (about 2 months ago) it seemed like a ghost town. There are so few restaurants that remain in here which is disappointing. I'm sure this was a hopping spot pre-Covid. The food was good that I ordered. My friend enjoyed her food too. I originally avoided this place because I hate having to park downtown. The good news is that they validate your parking in the parking garage. You just need to get a receipt from the restaurant. It's a bit tricky getting out of the garage but heck it was free! I hope more restaurants come back here as I would love to visit again to give it another chance.

Found this food hall in austin and it's a gem! I love food halls, reminds me of Europe and New York. Keep in mind, this place is tiny, with only a few places to eat, but I love that it's an incubator for restaurants to start out! I think it's a cute place to meet up at too. Austin rotisserie: I tried the croissant and poulet roti and was unfortunately underwhelmed. The croissant was heavy and had a strange sweet aftertaste, I'm used to light airy and flaky with a butter taste. The sandwich was quite bland + sweet and vinegary for my palette. What I did like was the cute presentation of the croissant coming with a tiny French flag, and the sandwich wrapped in twine! Little Wu Ah so good! My favorites were the taro chicken egg rolls and chicken Shu mai. The spicy beef noodles were great too! I didn't care for the chicken potstickers.

It's an ok vibe here. Lots of space and outdoor area. Not lots of restaurants on the inside, I was hoping it had lots of restaurants. No bakery shops on the inside. That was a bummer for me.

FYI They don't accept cash anywhere at Fareground. They only accept credit, debit or mobile pay. This will be short and sweet because I only came here to pick up a quick latte and scope out what type of eats were available. I was staying across the street and the nearest Starbucks was closed, so I left the comforts of my heated hotel room to walk over to Fareground in 40 degree weather with a chilly breeze for a 2-minute walk. There's a nice open courtyard with ample seating outdoors and a grassy area to relax. I'm guessing this would be enjoyable when the weather warms up, but not that day. My interests were piqued earlier in the week when I saw that Henbit had something called Monster Cookie on the menu. I walked by and it looked closed because that area appeared dark with no one attending the station. Womp, guess I can't get that sweet treat. Instead, I headed over the Drink Bar to get a basic cafe latte with one pump Hazelnut. It was $3.50 for a small and $0.50 for syrup. Pretty sure most people come through here for beers or cocktails, but the coffee was decent and hit the spot.

First time in Austin for a conference. This place is 2 blocks from the conference center and a block from the Marriott. So glad I found this place. Food is fantastic. Are at the shawarma place and the French place. Highly recommend both. Seriously some of the best food I've had. Far surpassed my expectations for a food hall.

Arianna L.

Yelp
Went to little Wu in the food mall but was dissatisfied with my order. I had the curry chicken bowl and tasted no curry and no seasoning. The Garlic Green Beans were cold and not flavorful as well. For the price, I think you can find much better alternatives. I think this food hall is well designed and probably convenient for people who can walk to get meals for lunch or after work but would not recommend visiting. There is no cashier and you order yourself at the kiosk and are automatically charged a service/convenience fee, before tip. The other restaurants also had few menu options are were in the same price range - $10-$30.

Yelp
The fairgrounds is a great food hall in downtown Austin. I stopped in here on a Saturday night and they had live music going on. Along with about four different spots you can choose from for food and a bar. We went for drinks after dinner and they have daily drink specials. I got an old fashioned and it was perfectly mixed and really delicious. This definitely seems more of a day spot it wasn't too busy for a Saturday night. This is a great place to try out new and upcoming restaurants. I really enjoyed the vibe and service was great

Bhagyashree B.

This is a cool place to meet a bunch of friends and everyone can choose what they'd like to east from a variety of options including Mediterranean, Chinese, Mexican, American cuisines. There's plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. The falafel wrap from israeli street food restaurant was filling and delicious. The live music in a Friday night really set the mood for our chill weekend. The only drawback is that it closes at 9 so we had to leave in a rush and couldn't really try out the drinks from the bar. Thanks to the other reviews here, we parked at the one eleven garage with validated ticket for 90 minutes using a receipt from the restaurant.

Polina W.

Yelp
I love this concept! My out of town friend actually recommended that we grab a late night weekday bite here. Places like these are ideal when there are multiple parties with different likes and hunger levels. My friend just needed a light snack. I craved a post work dinner and didn't say no to sweets either. I enjoyed a burrito (taco pegaso) , matcha cookie (little wu) and iced matcha lavender latte (Henbit). I enjoyed the flavors of my burrito and drink while my friend and I caught up on life. I am a matcha fan so the cookie was to satisfy my curiosity (and late night craving). Definitely pop on by if you're nearby. I did street parking, as I was told the garage can be on the pricey side. Enjoy!

Large food hall with a large variety of cuisines, and lots of seating! There's plenty of choices from, there's bound to be something here for you. - Henbit - Little Wu - Taco Pegaso - Austin Rotisserie - TLV Israeli Street Food - Drink - Elli's There is plenty of seating in the food hall and there's parking at 111 Parking Garage (validated for up to 90 minutes with a receipt from any restaurant, using the QR code).

Fareground has a little something for everyone, which I absolutely love! Located on the first floor of Building One Eleven "formerly One Congress Plaza". I can't believe it has taken me this long to visit this gem! I was so impressed with the architecture, the fixtures, the interior, and the ceiling!! You could easily get lost in the beauty here, and why not? You've got everything you need (food, drinks). What's here: Little Wu (dumplings), Austin Rotisserie, Henbit, Taco Pegaso, Israeli Street Food, and 2 bars (inside: Drink, outside: Ellis). I was only able to try out Little Wu (see my review) for food, but will easily return to try out everything else!! Note: Drink has happy hour DAILY starting at 5 PM!

Brian F.

Yelp
This is a food court located in downtown Austin next to a bunch of high rise buildings and hotels. They have a variety of different foods from American to Asian to Mexican. They also have a couple bars and cheap happy hour drinks starting at $4 which is a really good deal. The interior is really nice and upscale and I was surprised that it wasn't as busy as I would think a place like this would be. The amount of indoor seating and outdoor seating would make this a great place to hang out and socialize with friends. It's also a family-friendly place to eat lunch or dinner.

Yelp
Ignore this review because we visited when things must have been going wrong. The online pre-ordering was wonky on their app, which meant several places were unexpectedly closed but still taking orders while DRINK was open but slammed with complaints from people who were not getting their food from said closed places, like TLV. So maybe call and verify if the place is open before ordering or wasting time getting downtown. Yes, there is complimentary parking available in the garage across the street for 90 minutes, but we had to *ask* for a proper receipt with a QR code. Apparently, you will not get one with takeout orders. Skip this step and prepare to pay for the premium privilege to park downtown by the half-hour. Great looking food court with many options (closed to us tho). We ended up getting appetizers from Little Wu and drinks from DRINK. The potstickers (gyoza) and shumai were yummy and oh so tiny. There is plenty of seating, including a grassy hill to hear the live music outside. Large groups and families with small children might want to sit inside at some of the spacious tables. No dogs are allowed, as far as we know.

Yelp
Mini food court place for this high rise building and Line hotel across the street, to grab a good meal. I went for the French roti with fingerling potatoes and it was so delicious! They know how to cook the chicken and it was still moist. It was well complimented with the sauce they provided and the seasoning of the potatoes! Other cuisine shops were there, such as Mediterranean and Italian sandwiches, Asian, Taqueria and etc. Outdoor space is nice if weather permits. Nom on.

Laura P.

Yelp
This is a cool idea. We were at The Line across the street for a night and had had a big lunch, so we walked across the street for cocktails and dumplings. The bartender was great and an interesting concept to have iPad service at the food stalls - not sure what to expect but the pot stickers and the soup dumplings at the dumpling place were amazing! They also had a yoga class starting outside while we were eating, so it looks like this would be a great place if I was a local.

Bar charged my card an additional 3 charges. One for $10 and two for $20. 2 of the charges fell off before processing but one of the $20 charges got batched and processed. Reached out about this and received an email stating that the charge has been refunded...but that isn't true.

Fareground is fun! Easy to order on the website from all the installations, including the bar. A great outdoor area to sit welcomes people all. Our little ones like to play on the big, shaded turf hillside and we've also seen live music playing out there. As far as the food goes, you cannot go wrong with tacos.

Jennifer C.

Yelp
First time at the Fareground Food and Wine Festival where we explored all the Fareground vendors and collected a passport stamp at each vendor counter to try some of their upcoming specialty and classic brunch bites. Our favorites: Henbit - Breakfast Canapé, savory and cooked to perfection! Taco Pegaso - Churro, if you love churros and caramel don't miss this caramel stuffed churro! They made this fresh for us so it was crispy on the outside and gooey delicious caramel on the inside. Perfect 'churro bites' Little Wu - Pork belly bao. They were out of the king cong roll so we only got to try the bao. Pork belly was seasoned well, great veggie crunch, and got to try yellow bird siracha for the first time. Yum!!! Austin Rotisserie - chicken crostini, if a small portion of chicken tastes so good I must be missing out on a larger chicken entree. Will be back to try the chicken here! TLV - both dishes exceeded expectations, and was the favorite vendor at our table. The fa-waffle was dressed to perfection; imagine a softer / silkier falafel in waffle form, topped with perfectly cooked egg, and pomegranate for a "crunch." And unexpectedly great was the Shrawarma Mushroom Skewer; perfect mushroom to onion ratio, well seasoned and cooked. 5 to TLV!

Europe vibes all around TIP: watch my review on Tik Tok @ATXgoon TIP: read til the end for parking details I gotchall This place has a beautiful outdoor space there's a ton of green space to sit around and enjoy a good book and sip your favorite cocktail under the sun while sitting on some grass or sitting at one of their many tables outside/indoors. I love that you could essentially have a picnic or sit with a large group at their tables inside our outdoors. This place is kid friendly too! Bring a game and let your kids play outside on the grass. Loved their food court system and how you can order with a QR code. They make it really easy to have a seamless experience. Personally, the dumplings from Little Wu were good, but I didn't think they were anything extraordinary. HOWEVER, the sangria margarita was out of this world ‼ The bartender mentioned it's their seasonal cocktail and they'll have it on draft for a while, definitely get one while you can. It was refreshing and crisp and made me feel like I was on a date drinking it on the patio, even though I was very much alone LMAO. LOVED the sangria margarita MAJOR TIP: ask the bartender for your receipt! I paid cash so I didn't get a receipt but you need it for parking validation of up to 90 mins on the weekend at the 111 garage. Parking is free up to 90 mins on the weekends so absolutely make sure you ask for that receipt. It'll have a QR code that you use to scan yourself out of the garage. Overall, the food selection is great with a seamless order-by-QR-code experience, but I didn't think the food was anything astonishing. The drinks were fantastic and the outdoor vibe was the main star of the event. Come here to relax and take a break from your downtown 9-5 or come here on the weekend with your kids!

Yelp
Open concept area with a beautiful outside seating area and a couple of difference options for eating. We ended up getting a coffee and a watermelon drink from one of the restaurants. We enjoyed both our drinks and our services was quick and friendly. Would recommend if you're in the area and want to spend some time outside.

Erica V.

Yelp
Was a rainy cold day in Austin but food was really tasty a bit cold when we got the text and the sweet potatoes were all pretty tasty also but a bit mushed in the bottom of the box otherwise definitely well worth the drive from San Antonio and worth another shot to get that 5-star Drinks were also pretty good, definitely wanna try again on a nicer sunnier day out!

AJ B.

Yelp
This hidden gem housed in the bottom floors of a giant Wells Fargo skyscraper changed my whole view and thoughts on what could be in any building downtown. I love the food here & the atmosphere inside & out. Henbit has excellent sweet potato tater tots & cookies, Austin Rotisserie has excellent baguette sandwiches, Little Wu's dumplings & pickled veggies are to die for, TLV's non dairy tahini shake will melt in your mouth and satisfy all sweet tooth's, and last but not least Drinks sangria & Paloma will enhance your experience! The indoor & outdoor seating & decor really sets the vibe and atmosphere. This great for date night, lunch with friends, dinner with visitors! It's amazing I definitely recommend and can't wait to return!

Edgar R.

Yelp
This is a great place to meet up for happy hour after work or just meet up for dinner. There are several restaurants inside so you can grab something different every time you go. There are also 2 bars and you can take your alcoholic beverages out to the courtyard. The courtyard has a great set up and sometimes has local singers performing! Parking can be a bit tricky since it is downtown. But they do validate parking at the 111 garage for the first 90 minutes if you purchase something there (not sure if this is the case all the time).

Sara J.

Yelp
Yes!!!! Beautiful space inside and out. Lots of variety of food and drink to choose from. I would have a difficult time choosing a favorite. The grounds outside are just beautiful with amazing trees and lots of space to hang out. In the middle of downtown with so many other options... You could make a day of it!

Brianna Z.

Yelp
If I disregard the price, the hand-pulled beef noodles I had at Little Wu were actually very flavorful and well-made. However, while the portion was enough to fill me up, I would not recommend anything in faregrounds to people trying to save money. The bowl of noodles costs around 18-20 dollars. And adding spice costs an absurd amount as well??

Shradha A.

Yelp
Let's get the missing star out of the way - parking is a challenge around here. Wish they had an arrangement with an area garage to validate. Okay, now for the highlights - the indoor and outdoor seating are inviting. The upscale food hall has good variety of cuisines, offering something for everyone. From TLV - Middle Eastern to Little Wu - Asian and everything else like Henbit monster cookies and French sandwiches next door as well as the TexMex spot for tacos. We only tried a handful of options but had good food, freshly prepared, in a clean environment, with lots of space to not feel crowded. See individual establishment reviews for more details on the food.

Melissa P.

Yelp
Cutest food court. We found this place by accident after stopping by Roller Disco at Long Center. Perfect spot if you have a group that can't decide on one thing to eat. You have to try the monster cookie at Henbits! Delightful. We also tried food from Austin Rotisserie, a Carne Asada salad from Mexican spot and muffaletta from Italian spot on corner. All were good. The best part was option of indoor/outdoor tables, indoor full bar or Ellis is cute outdoor bar on corner. Overhanging trees and lights just made the afternoon special.

YanJie H.

Yelp
Super cute (and luxe) food court with a ton of food options (Chinese, Israeli, French, tacos, and more). I love the comfortable seating dotted throughout - it wasn't super busy even though we came during Labor Day weekend so we were able to sit in some comfy couches to relax even though we didn't order any food there. I can definitely see this as a great place to chill with friends, grab a quick bite, or relax with a drink.

Jorge G.

Yelp
Very cool modern day food hall with about 6- 7 local restaurants displaying a few items from their full menu. Candidly, unlike other food halls I've been to in other cities--I think the quality of the food at all of restaurants at Fareground is substandard at best. The restaurants at Fareground provide a limited selection of what they generally offer at their respective restaurant around town. While a bit informal, don't expect to save on the price of the menu items. In fact, the pricing is either similarly priced as per their full menu or even slightly marked up. All in all, its nevertheless a 3 star rating as I think the developers did an incredible job renovating this space from what was once essentially an abandoned office lobby area in downtown Austin to a place to hit up. While the food is ok, this is still a great spot to grab a bite to eat + beer--but don't expect the food to be as good as to what they offer offsite. This place is all about . . . location, location, location.

Aswathi C.

Yelp
Time to eat so we went to Fareground Eat and Drink which is a food hall with at least 6 eateries and 1-2 bars. We did not like the bar (or the barman) who is right at the entrance.. did try an old fashioned which was ok. Mainly we had the TLV Israeli Street Food. That was AMAZING and the rating just for that place is 5/5 which I've done separately.. We had hot pita bread with amazing classic hummus, really good falafel sandwich, amazing roasted cauliflower, never a fan of babaganoush but guess it was ok..

This is the food court to end all food courts. We ate at Henbit for breakfast. They serve the most delicious breakfast burrito I have ever eaten in my life, no hyperbole. It was so good that I needed to personally thank the chefs afterwards. I wondered, 'How did they make the eggs so fluffy, the tortilla so delicious (almost like a Mexican flour roti), the kale so fresh and flavorful, the marriage of ingredients moist and nourishing.' I met the very kind and warm chefs, Daniel and Esteban. They explained that the tortilla is key ... made of Sonoran flour. Inside are fluffy 'soft scrambled' eggs and farm kale. They pride themselves on local farm to table cooking and everything is eco-friendly ... even the coffee cups are compostable. Their coffee is strong, smooth, and delicious. They also serve a delicious breakfast bowl with kale, quinoa, sweet potato, and a soft boiled egg. Finally, they make a 'monster cookie' reminiscent of the famous NYC Levain cookie (which my cousin and I tried to make at home). Theirs is delicious and packed full of chocolate chips. You can taste the cookie dough; soft in the inside and crispy on the outside. As we are harking from NYC, without any friends in Austin, Esteban was so kind to take a moment to tell me what he loves about Austin ...that it is urban and friendly amidst lots of nature and hiking grounds. He recommended I check out the Green Belt for a hike before heading back home to NYC. Thank you so much for making our morning so sweet and nourishing and memorable!!

They are closed on 4th. No signs nothing. Even security said many people have come by thinking they were open.

Melissa M.

Yelp
Reminded me of the Grand Central Market in Los Angeles, just on a much smaller scale. Lots of options at little stalls around the space. I opted for tacos, corn, and a churro from Dai Due and my bf got a bowl with sweet potatoes and pork from another vendor. Everything was really tasty and all was ready really fast. Definitely worth visiting before or after a walk through the park.

Darlene B.

Yelp
We visited this place on a random weekday. we were looking for something casual to eat at and we ended up here because I've always been curious about this little food court area. They have multiple options for food, a large outdoor area where kids can run around in, and it looked like there's a stage there where performances happen during the evenings and/or weekends. I wasn't that impressed by the food offerings, I also had trouble making up my mind so that probably didn't help. But I encourage you to check this place out at least once! Right in the heart of a busy downtown area, it's a good stop for some drinks or snacks as you're exploring downtown Austin!

Carolyn M.

Yelp
TLV stole the show with their food. We ordered the beets, pickled veggies, and the chicken schnitzel. Every bite was absolutely amazing. The hummus on the schnitzel plate was probably the best that I have ever had. I'm still thinking about it days later. Little Wu was also very good. The soup dumplings were my favorites. The shumai and potstickers were good as well. We also had a drink at the bar. The bartenders made great drinks and the service was fantastic. This place is a gem!

Shahrzad Y.

Yelp
Love unwinding here! Its really a perfect, somehow still hidden, gem. Hidden because its not yet so packed where you wont find anywhere to sit and enjoy your food and drinks and conversations. Pretty much all the food options there have been great though my favorite must be TLV. I enjoy my coffee from the bar as well. 100% an amazing addition to downtown.

Catherine B.

Yelp
So fun. I moved here from Atlanta about 6 years ago and this whole mess hall/boutique cafeteria concept is all the rage there, so I was pumped to see this spot pop up. I live on Rainey, so it's a quick walk to plop my little one into a stroller and meet friends for a quick drink, coffee or snack. I can't wait until my little nugget is big enough to roll around the grassy area outside. The staff is super nice and accommodating. You can order a drink at the bar, but if you want a refill, there's people in Fareground tees who can grab you another drink for you. While I like that there's a bar upon entry, it would be near to see them offer drinks from the actual featured restaurants. For example, Easy Tiger is a featured restaurant there and they're known for their vast beer selection. It would be cool to see featured beers/wines/cocktails from the local places within the hall. I don't know if they haven't elected to do that as a result of some bizarre TABC law or whatever, but just a thought. I also feel like they're missing out on a great marketing opportunity to really blow out the entertainment factor. I rarely see events outside, but it's the perfect space for shops, live music, evening movies, tastings, or what have you. Granted, I did see they're featuring a Flea Market this weekend, so perhaps they're on the up and up on that. I've sampled at least one thing at this point from each of the restaurants and here's a quick breakdown: -bar: happy hour pricing weekdays from 4-7! Score. -Antonelli's: they feature snack boards, which is great for sharing. And I love me some cheese, but I feel as though their Mac and cheese is too rich. -Henbit: part of the same family as Emmer and Rye. Their little coffees and chais are something magical. -contigo: fried green beans! -ki-nome: ramen for dayzzzzz. Their sushi is decent, but their ramen is great. Super big portions. -dai due: I know this sounds crazy, but their bean and cheese taco from the kid's menu is so delightful! The flour tortilla means business. Best tasting tortilla I've had in a while. -easy tiger: while their selection mirrors most of what they carry at their regular restaurant on 6th, they evidently don't sell their pretzels and beer cheese at this particular establishment. Major disappointment.

Came here for a Yelp Event and got to try all the tasty food from the vendors! I really love the ambiance here. You can grab a drink, a variety of bites, and enjoy live music outside. Definitely will come back for casual nights with friends.

This is an awesome place for groups! It's kinda food court style, with several different restaurants and also a bar ($4 drinks after 5, even on Saturday!) there was also live music which was lovely. I ate at Taco Pegaso. The food seemed to be slightly pricey at all places but the flautas and brisket taco I had were delicious. Apparently there was 90 min free parking but we couldn't figure out where. There's a lot right next to it but it's a bit expensive. Overall a great place, wish they stayed opened later!

Great space with plenty of seating inside or outside under the beautiful oaks. The variety of food vendors made a visit here fun. Sort of a scavenger hunt. The bartenders at the main entrance bar served up some really bad attitude so one star off for that.

The space is spotless. Has way to loud music playing to even listen to a podcast while eating lunch, forget reading. I was so excited to try Austin Rotisserie! I could see the burnished, crispy skin of the chicken on the spit. What I received was not that. Flabby chicken skin, no caramelization on the potatoes. You place your order yourself on ONE tablet...., and it takes awhile . In AUS on business, at the Marriott next door. Maybe the noodle place when I'm back next week? AUS has some really bad food....

I love the idea of a food hall and this one is pretty well done though I do believe it could be tweaked. For how big of a place this is, unless I missed something, there are really only 7 spots to eat/drink. The food hall I went to in Chicago, though there were more floors, had considerably more establishments to choose from. I will say though that I enjoyed the variety which was present here. I got some food from Taco Pegaso and Little Wu as well as a cocktail from the bar. The space is very bright and airy and is full of young, business professionals. Overall though, the food is overpriced. There are a few cheaper items but they would never constitute a full meal. I am glad I checked it out but couldn't see myself returning. I would love to see a food event which showcased collaborations between each restaurant or maybe you pay one price and could get something from each counter.
