    Whenever you're not sure what exactly it is you want to eat, definitely come here and something will speak to you. They have a variety of food selections from Ramen, pizza, sushi, ice cream, and Mexican, you name it. There is table seating all around the hall, so you are bound to find a place to sit. There is also plenty of patio seating with outside games as well if you have kids. There are also two restaurants as well if you want more of a go in sit and order from the menu. They have plenty of parking spaces. The decor inside is very chic with plants everywhere and cute seating lounge areas. Def. A must try if you're in the area.

    Excellent food court in Charlotte. The place is very clean, well designed, well lit, and very comfortable to sit in. The place has outdoor seating and indoor seating, both are excellent places to sit down and have a good food. The place offers myriad options of food - pizzas, burgers, gelatos, briskets, and many others. The place is very clean and comfortable, it’s a good place to meet up. Parking is quite hard to find and parking is not free. The access to the area is very easy, it’s just a short drive from the Interstate. The area is quite safe, but areas outside the food court and the parking might be quite dodgy.

    We stopped by at this place for lunch since the website stated that this place has different restaurants and store to choose for. We like the food court concepts with different food and beverages options. We ordered noodles and dumplings from the Dumpling lady and they were so good! Get their lunch combo for pick any noodle with 4 dumplings. We also ordered empanadas and famous Harriet's cheeseburgers and fries. They also have candy store and got some old times favorites candies. This place also has pet store that carry dog's food and treats, they have paper stores as well. The service was pretty decent, we didn't wait too long for our food but we were there at 1pm. I like the ambience of this place too, very modern, clean, and fun. They also have water filling station so you can just ask for clear cup and fill your water. The optimist hall also offer 90 minutes free parking so make sure you scan the barcode and enter your license plate #. I heard they are very strict with the parking so pay attention to your parking time. Hopefully we can come and visit this place again next time we visit Charlotte.

    Its a beautiful place to hang out with family or friends for lunch and spare time. I usually go there for lunch with my colleagues and we enjoy being there due to different food choices, easy access location and enough parking spots. The place looks so vintage and gives different feelings of being there. One of my favorite spot for food and to hang out.

    All I can say, as Executive Chef & foodie is....wow! I am jealous of what Charlotte has in this place! We only sampled a few of the outlets, but everything we had was quite tasty. We love burgers & Harriet's burgers surely did not disappoint. It was sooooo nice to get a burger that actually looked like the photos! Thank you! We almost decided to go back the next day to try some other options, but...

    It was a wonderful place to go for a meet up. Loved having so many food places in one area. The parking situation was a bit confusing as a first time visitor. But it gets better. There are parking spaces in front of the hall or there’s another lot across the optimist hall. We tried a whole bunch of foods from different stores and most of it was real good. There was an artsy stationary item store and a pet store beside the food places. Seating was available inside and outside.

    Suárez Bakery was AMAZING! 🤩 The best gingerbread cupcakes I’ve ever had in my life! I bought 2 thinking I could eat the second one on the way home… it didn’t make it! 😂 If you’re in Charlotte, please stop here. There were so many other places we saw as we walked around but we only came for dessert. Next time, we’ll eat lunch AND dessert here! 😎

    I went there with my family and we loved it, there’s plenty diversity of options, different kind of foods. It has an inner and outdoor space and you can take your dog with you. They have an amazing system, letting you know by text message when your food is ready so you can sit and wait with a glass of your favorite drink.

    This place is a cute place to grab lunch. Whether it's a business meeting or just a break from work, it was a great environment with various different food options. From sushi, ramen, burgers, deserts, and they even had something for the pups!
