Nice selection of food stalls. Went with folks that tried different stalls. Sorry but names escape me - the Indian, Mediterranean, deli sandwich and Thai were all enjoyed.

Great spot! Went for a day date with my wife. I had the brisket tacos from the spot in the corner. Sauce was fantastic and the crunchy rice!!! Wow what a combo. The bartender and service were fantastic. Did step in puke out from at my car! Oh well !

This is a beautiful space, bright, and wonderfully decorated. They have music playing on low volume, string lighting, some greenery, and tons of seating. The bar area is stunning, as are the high ceilings. I was impressed by both the offering of cuisines across the kitchen concepts and the cleanliness of the public bathrooms. Any vendor we approached was friendly and quick to reveal any specials or popular menu items. I'd definitely suggest stopping in, if in the area!

If you read any of my reviews, Kelly, you know what I am going to say here. This spot had some killer vibes to it with a band throwing down some 90's/00's jams while sharing some really interesting yet delicious cocktails. It is a great place to start your night out in Lancaster or even a place to take the family as there are so many different food options. It would be a 5/( for me if there were a fully vegan restaurant there or even more vegan options. The food looked good though! Bartenders were spot on with their cocktails and service.

I loved this spot!! This is a perfect option for a date night or a night out with a big group of people. My team and I were in Lancaster for an event and we went to this food hall. There was 14 of us, so this was perfect for us. There are so many vendor options to choose from. We all tried things from different vendors and everyone raved about their food. Some of us got the taco spot, some of us got the pho, some of us got the Latin food, some of us got the Thai food and I got the poke bowl from the sushi vendor. The sushi spot was exactly what I hoped it would be. It was fresh and so great. It did take about 20-30 minutes to get my food, but I didn't mind waiting. There are a lot of seating options. They even had a trivia night going on. This is a great spot.

Been wanting to try this place after I heard it was converted into a food hall with a bar in the center. Lots of great choices of many ethnicities. It was hard to make up my mind. And a large bar in the center! I had a delicious Classic Salmon Poke Bowl, my friend had Schnitzel, another vegan friend had a Lebanese veg plate. Everything was yummy. You order & they give you a buzzer & you pick it up & grab a table or sit at the bar to eat. Everyone was friendly. Cocktails were good too. Recommended, especially if you're eating with friends who like lots of different choices of cuisines.

Very nice concept and execution. So many great restaurants and different kinds of food. Lovely!

At first glance it can be intimidating trying your choose what to order, since there are so many different vendors. What I did was made the rounds, and in addition to looking at the menus or food I could see at the counters, I paid close attention to what other people were eating. I saw a table of 10 older African American women in their Sunday best, having come after church it appeared, and they were all eating the chicken and Mac n cheese from the soul food spot. SOLD. I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED. The chicken strips were incredibly tasty, batter had so much flavor and a little heat (which I love), and the macaroni and cheese may have been the best mac I have eaten in years. The owner of the soul food counter was working the line and it was clear he loved what he was doing and was proud to be so involved in the nitty gritty operations. My friend got the vermicelli bowl from the Vietnamese food place, and she said it was really good too. (We're both originally from Houston, TX, so Vietnamese food and southern food are 2 things we have some high standards for!) I think this place has something for everyone. Once we ordered, we went to sit at the snazzy cocktail bar in the center of the hall, where they served us nice drinks while we waited for and ate our counter food. So nice that you can order anywhere and eat it in the ambiance of the bar, and they even brought us napkins etc and cleared our plates after we finished.

A medium sized food Hall with a grand feel and atmosphere. We must have just missed the lunch rush around 1 on a Wednesday. Historic building that started as a Farmer's Market in 1888. A Bar area is in the center of the space with seating in the middle surrounded by the Food Stations/Vendors. The concept reminds me of the Time Out market approach where each Station is Chef owned. I have to say that I was impressed with the variety of food options. Moroccan, Detroit Style Pizza, Middle Eastern, Thai, Sushi, Soul Food and Colombian/Laos fusion to name a few. We tried Flavors of Morocco and Mekatos and enjoyed both. Service at both stations was excellent and engaged with Chefs present. We saw they also have various events (Trivia, Live Music). We found a street parking spot easily right in front. We will definitely be back!
