Sheesh. Don't forget to bring your twenties... This little food market doesn't play around. It's a nice, much cleaner alternative with slightly better food options than the rest of the Suburban Station trench warfare fried chicken/Mickey D's/pizza hut selections.
With a second DiBrunos', La Scala, Mexican Post, and a Termini Brothers outposts - along with a Jake & Max salad/soup/sandwich deli, Sookhee's produce/juice bar, Frank's Philly's sandwiches,Tokyo Sushi, Under the C seafood/prepared foods - you'd think you'd be able to eat to your heart's content.
If you're ready to drop about 15 buckaroos for a ho-hum lunch (that includes a beverage), I guess you can. Jake and Max and The Mexican Post are the most affordable of the bunch - but their offerings aren't very appetizing. The DiBruno's, is just a replica of the one on 18th with a smaller selection. Tokyo and Under the C are pretty pricey and they too, offer pretty average stuff. La Scala seems to be the better of the bunch, but only if you're prepared to spend a little more for their gourmet pizza entrées and salads.
Sook Hee's produce is fresh and the juice bar is pretty good. They've got a nice orange juicer and I like to treat myself every once in a while to a small one at $2.99. I'd still prefer to get my produce at Sue's (definitely cheaper) on 18th, though - even with the walk.
If the weather is shite and you're stranded in Suburban with nowhere to go, the Market is a good option - it gets pretty crowded during mid-day lunch rush (go before noon or after 1:30), but there are always tables available. Despite all the glitz though, I don't find it to be any better than what they offer at Liberty Place only two blocks down.
