Update on 2/27/19 — The planned opening has now been delayed until March.
Ballston Quarter’s newly revamped food court, dubbed “Quarter Market,” is now set to open this week.
A spokeswoman for Forest City, the company working to redevelop the former Ballston Common mall, told ARLnow that the food court will “begin to open” on Wednesday (Feb. 27).
She did not, however, provide additional details about which restaurants in the 25,000-square-foot space will be open to hungry customers this week. Stores in the rest of the newly renovated mall began opening last fall, even as others remain under construction, and Quarter Market could follow a similar path.
Dubbed a “food hall,” the new food court is set to welcome a variety of upscale eateries, many of which will offer outdoor seating in the development’s plaza along Wilson Blvd in warmer months.
So far, the developer has confirmed that the following restaurants will be included in the space:
- Ballston Service Station
- Bartaco
- Copa
- Cucina Al Volo
- French Exit
- Hot Lola’s
- Ice Cream Jubilee
- Local Oyster
- Maizal
- Mi & Yu Noodle Bar
- Pinch Dumplings
- Rice Crook
- Sloppy Mama’s BBQ
- Turu’s by Timber Pizza Company
The sushi burrito chain Buredo and hot dog food truck Swizzler also previously announced that they’d open up locations in Quarter Market, but they’re not currently listed on the mall’s online directory.
Compass Coffee, South Block, Ted’s Bulletin, True Food Kitchen and Union Kitchen are all set to have locations nearby as well, with outdoor seating included.
Whenever the development’s restaurants open, they’ll join Chick-fil-A and Punch Bowl Social as eateries serving up food in Ballston Quarter.
