July 23rd, 2021 by

Chinese food? Mexican? BBQ? When it all sounds delicious to you, food halls are the ultimate solution for getting to try a little bit of everything, all in one place. And the Greater Metro Atlanta now has so many of them that are all a short, luxurious ride away in your Lexus. We’ve partnered with Atlanta Eats to bring you a list of our favorites!

  1. Chattahoochee Food Works

           1235 Chattahoochee Ave NW

           Atlanta, GA 30318

 

Brand new to the scene and started by celebrity chef Andrew Zimmerman, Chattahoochee Food Works sets itself apart from the rest by featuring a great deal of first-time restaurant owners that are up-and-coming in Atlanta. You’ll love the brunch offerings at Graffiti Breakfast, the Vietnamese fare at Banh Mi Station, and the tasty Neapolitan style pies at Pomodoro Bella. The outdoor space is also expansive with field day/picnic vibes, and local brewery Dr. Scofflaw Brewing is also in the same development.

       Atlanta, GA 30308

 

Right in the heart of Tech Square, this sleek and modern mini food hall is rockin’ and adding even more vendors soon to its list. It currently houses Poke Burri (famed for their sushi burritos and sushi donuts), El Burro Pollo Burritos, grain bowl and salad spot Wildleaf, Aviva Mediterranean Grill, and a bar called By Eight & Measure. A BBQ spot called SmoQue Burger will be opening up shop very soon!

    Atlanta, GA 30307

 

This Old Fourth Ward food hall located steps away from the Beltline has become a staple in the neighborhood. It definitely boasts some of the best food options of all of Greater Metro Atlanta’s various food halls. Superica is excellent, Ticonderoga Club is best in class, Recess’ grain bowls are mouth-wateringly good, and Fred’s Meat and Bread is unreal.

        Alpharetta, GA 30005

 

Folks living in the northern part of the city and northern ‘burbs are extra lucky to live close to this new mixed-use development. But if you’re in other parts of town it’s a great excuse to go for a drive, especially if you’re riding smoooooth in your new Lexus. Full of boutique shopping, new intriguing restaurant concepts, and a food hall featuring Atlanta favorites like Gu’s Dumplings and Land of a Thousand Hills Coffee. No doubt this spot will be your favorite new destination for fun & dining. The kids will love the games and sandboxes in the middle of the development, and there are also tons of inviting patios to explore.

        68 North Marietta Pkwy NW
         Marietta, GA 30060

 

Marietta Square Market follows the same model as many food halls in that they’ve reimagined, repurposed, and revitalized an old historic space into a new gathering place that fits the needs of citizens today. Located in the historic Marietta Square right by the square’s old iconic railroad tracks, Marietta Square Market boasts just about every type of cuisine you could want from lobster rolls from Cousin’s Maine Lobster, po-boys from Just Loafn’ Cajun Cafe, to Japanese fried chicken from the always addicting Ponko Chicken. They’ve also started to add more events, like live music, a cornhole tournament, and weekly trivia so there’s always reasons to visit!

         209 Edgewood Ave SE

         Atlanta, GA 30303

 

From fresh produce and meats and seafood to talented eateries, the historic Sweet Auburn Curb Market has a little bit of everything. But what’s most interesting about this place is probably their history. The market first opened its doors in 1924. At the time, African-American patrons were allowed to shop inside, but could only vend outdoors along the curb, which led to its nickname of Sweet Auburn Curb Market. Atlanta staples Grind House Killer Burgers and Bell Street Burritos first got their start in the market, and it remains a place for interesting local food and cuisines from all over the world.

      Atlanta, GA 30345

 

Plaza FIesta has been a food hall long before food halls were a “thing.” Indulge in delicious Mexican and Latin American eats that line their food courts. The best way to experience it is to order a little bit of everything from all the food court vendors–Barbacoa Mexicana has got some really fantastic tacos.

    1197 Peachtree St NE Suite 150
    Atlanta, GA 30309

 

What if a food hall was swanky, upscale, and felt special and unique? That’s exactly what the Politan row developers have achieved. The interiors are stunning at this brand new development to hit Midtown, with ambient lighting, leather couches, and velvet chairs to really set this place apart from your standard food hall. Bun Mi Grill’s vermicelli bowls are excellent, Locale Cafe’s oxtails are as good as any spot, and the brand new JoJo’s Beloved cocktail lounge will delight all your senses.

          Atlanta, GA 30308

 

Towering over Ponce De Leon Avenue is Ponce City Market in what used to be the old Sears building. It felt like it took years and years and years for this place to undergo the renovation, but it finally finished and has now become the top tourist destination in Atlanta. But there’s plenty for locals to be excited about too, from the always tasty fried chicken from Hop’s Chicken, the A+ burgers at H&F burgers, the dreamy scoops of dairy goodness at Honeysuckle Gelato, to the brand new lounge concept Bar Vegan from famed Atlanta restaurateur Pinky Cole.

        Atlanta, GA 30316

 

RIP to the longstanding bar/restaurant/good time Graveyard Tavern, and hello Southern Feed Store. Southern Feed Store has replaced the Graveyard Tavern and is soon to hit the scene in East Atlanta with “good eats (local faves only) and live music & good vibes.” There will be up to 7 vendor stalls of this food hall right in the heart of East Atlanta Village. Brazilian street food spot Buteco Coffee & Bar and Woody’s Cheesesteaks are already slated to be two upcoming tenants. Keep an eye out for their opening this summer!
