Kind of a late lunch and we just wanted something tasty, hearty, unique, and fresh. Lucked up on Fareground Austin. Several really good food options and all very unique from one another so something for everyone. Tough to decide but we landed on Arepas … amazingly delicious. Ample seating indoor plus a chill, spacious outdoor area.

Food was ok. Way over priced for what we received. Macarons & beignets were the best, but I was charged more than the menu quoted for them. Service is minimal, had to place order on a tablet, someone cooked , placed on a tray & yelled my name.
Atmosphere was better than a fast food restaurant, but still had to wipe my own table & bus it, too.

The bar & outdoor seating looked cool, but I was there for lunch with my kids. Also, had to pay for parking...

We tried the Mexican spot and it was on point. Parking garage was the issue, 3 hr complimentary parking is only available from M-F after 6pm if you park before that they have an hefty parking fees. Saturday/Sundays they have 3hr complimentary during restaurants business hours. Also restaurants don’t validate your parking ticket if you purchase any food from any restaurant scan the QR code which is on the receipt instead of the parking ticket for ticket validation.

Food is very good, loud space, expensive for quantity received.

Fun spot for groups, everyone can grab dinner at whichever restaurant they prefer. Fabulous happy hour drink specials at the bar — their prickly pear margarita is fire. Perfect for pregaming and dinner before bar hopping!

Think of a mall food court, minus the mall. A great indoor lounge/food court to take a rest in the air conditioning, see some art by local artists, and wait for sunset to see the bats on the bridge (within easy walking distance of South Congress bridge).

Nice spot to go grab a bite and chill. Kind of an upscale mall foodcourt.

A casual place to meet and hangout with friends! They also have some good food options ranging from pastries to tacos!

Been a few times and anytime I go there it’s very hot- needs improvement on more fans or misters. When does the older DJ with the Yankees visor come back?! He was awesome and made the atmosphere more chill.

Good place for a beer, but the cocktails are consistently bad (too sugary, not enough substance, not enough variety). Every time I've been here, at least one of the vendors has been closed, even at busy times like Saturday 7pm. The vendors that are staffed have low staffing, long lines, and long wait times. This food hall is a good idea, but poorly executed. Food isn't even inexpensive - $8 beers, $10 well cocktails, and ~$16 entrees. So what's the value add? You're downtown with so many food and drink options around, so do yourself a favor and go somewhere else.

Not really impressed. We were there on a Tuesday night. Nobody was there which is fine but only 4 restaurants were open. Just disappointed there weren’t more choices. The vibe was really slow and boring. Maybe it has good days but I was disappointed.

I came in rather late, on Friday night, even though not closing time yet, but most vendors already closed. Got taco and they were good.

The Sharma was delicious but the seasoned fries were just ok. The sushi was good but a very small portion. The service was quick and friendly. The atmosphere outside was calm inside was fast food metal chairs.
