Let me say that the actual idea and floor-plan are great. Want a whole family to be able to go out and eat any kind of food they'd like? Done. Parking is plentiful and nearby. Wait time from store to store is usually pretty short, but waiting for actual food can be 2 minutes to 15 depending on who you go to. For example, a son got pizza slices immediately while my trip to order and get Tom Kha soup took 18. The flavor is hit or miss depending on restaurant and what you order. I got a chicken salad from the chicken place and it was great. My daughter got fettuccini alfredo and declared it rich, but bland. All that said, you can't miss with the ice cream location. So, regardless of what you ordered as the main dish, you can leave with a smile and a waffle cone in hand. read more

I mean what is not to like about a fun elevated food court vibe. There is a bar and games and just great food. We decided to go for a bit of everything with arepas, a burger, and some Japanese food. The burger was amazing and the other two were good as well. More than the food though it's just a fun place to be in and seems very lively. Shop workers were kind and the food came out quickly! read more

Went on a Friday night while visiting town. My family ate a delicious wood fired pizza, fresh beer was available at the Dairy Bar in the middle of the main space, and our little one enjoyed a huge waffle cone of ice cream while we enjoyed a fresh beer at Starr Hill. Parking was easy and didn't have to pay past the first hour like their website said. Def recommend - lots of dining choices in a clean, big, yet comfortable space. read more

Good prices, sizable sandwiches for a quick-stop! Greay place to pick up lunch, beverages and other items, gas up your vehicle and get a car wash.Staff is very kind and helpful! read more

Driving thru area on Memorial Day weekend. Decided to stop in because looks like offered variety. Venue is a cut older building refurbed to food court. 1. Burger (Sizzle Shack?) - good simple burger. 2. Basta Pasta - kid got pesto chicken pasta, hubby got chicken panini. Both said were ok but didn't rave about them. 3. Ice cream - VERY YUMMY read more

We were unfortunately disappointed with the pizza we ordered from Dino's. We ordered the BBQ chicken pizza with pineapple and onions plus the white pizza with pesto and prosciutto. The amount of onions on the first pizza was definitely overkill and it would have been nice if they were cooked in anyway vs being raw. The pesto pizza was good but very salty. Maybe it was just an off night since there are so many good reviews for this stand. read more

This is a neat place to visit but we had burgers and a gyro and they were not good. I'd maybe go here for a beer or ice cream. I was looking for the soul Food stall but they were no longer there. Overall this was disappointing. read more

Great food with lots of diverse options for everyone! Lots of seating and clean. Will be going back soon.

Delicious hamburger great customer service fun place with so many choices clean excellent service

Love the Dairy Market! This is a food hall, so it's a great place to come with a group of people. You can choose from a variety of different restaurants (that seem to rotate at varying intervals), and there is sure to be something that will suit your palate. 10/10 would recommend! read more

A neat food court concept with a variety of options ranging from salads, pizza, ice cream, burgers, sandwiches, etc. They also have a bar! The parking lot has 1 hour free parking but then you have to pay utilizing the ParkMobile app. I ended up paying 2.75 for an additional 30 minutes. The ambience and the concept were neat. I feel like more seating, trash cans, and a place to put trays when done would be good additions. Maybe a place to get water that's more accessible than the water fountains tucked away near the bathrooms. I ended up going to Chimm Street and got the chicken basil entree for 11.50. It has a bit of a kick which I appreciated. I wasn't able to finish it and the portion size was alright. I don't think I'd order it again though. Am looking to trying the different menu items and vendors! read more

This is a food court with a ton of culinary options. I saw Italian, ice cream, a bar, asian, Mexican, hamburgers and pretty much anything else that you can think of. Very clean place. They have some seats but more would serve the place well. We enjoyed our ramen a lot! read more

My husband and I had our first visit to the Diary Market yesterday and it did not disappoint. The building is beautiful and spacious. There is a vast selection of different genres of restaurants and 2 retailers. I would like to see more retailers in this great spot. My husband got a Ramen Bowl from Mashu Festival and I got my dish from Maizal with a yummy Horchata!!!! The service was excellent. read more

Modern food court with about a dozen vendors including a full bar and a tap room. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Clean space. Games were available at the brewery. Service was quick from all of the vendors. read more

Plentyyy of cuisine options! Large space with indoor and outdoor seating and great vendor. Lots of veggie options between all the vendors! We tried veggie pizza from the pizza place and a spicy veggie burger from the vegan burger place. Pizza was just fine, nothing amazing but the burger was delicious! Very satisfying for vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike. Absolutely recommend Dairy Market especially for big groups with different preferences and restrictions. read more

Dairy Market - Inside area - Food Court Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

Dairy Market is finally open and I'm sad that it's during the pandemic, but can't wait for all the shops that we're planning to come in to take hold. But the shops here currently are still worthwhile to come and check out. The pandemic has hit all of us hard but especially the restaurant business. We must do our best to continue to support the businesses that are putting their health and money on the line to bring all of us some joy sign their delicious offerings. So I want to say thank you if you are being safe and supporting the businesses. I had the amazing raspberry cone at moo through as well as the most delicious soul food at Angelic's kitchen. I know she took a big chance to start a brick and mortar... but I'm so glad she did. If you're looking for some amazing fried chicken, fried fish and shrimp... it's a must eat! There is a large bar area where people are socializing over drinks. I would definitely wear a mask and keep it on... seemed a bit busy. read more

FOOD/SELECTION/AMBIANCE Dairy Market is cafeteria-style with a variety of shops from: 1. Savory food places like Take It Away (sandwiches), Angelic's Kitchen (soul food), Citizen Burger, Dino's (pizza), Manila Street (Filipino food) 2. Sweet places like Bee Conscious (bakery), MooThru (ice cream) 3. Bars/Breweries like the Milkman and Starr Hill There are also non-food shops as well such as Brigid & Bess (home decor) and Quattro Tizi (clothing and lifestyle store). Both are located to the right and left of the front entrance. PARKING Free 2-hour parking is available, and you can get your parking ticket from the pay machine in the lot (you'll need to input your license plate so take a picture/remember it before you head up!). The ticket should then be visible on the dash. Additional time is at a fee, though admittedly, your car won't likely be ticketed unless it's a game weekend at UVA, etc. read more

The Dairy Market is a great eating option for families or big groups who can't agree to just one place. The setup makes dining so easy and fun. This place was just opened several years ago and still amazes me. I love the setup and the restaurant selection isn't huge but it's definitely sufficient with something yummy for everyone plus some shopping! read more

First of all, where was this during my undergrad?!? It's so crazy to see how much has changed since I graduated. We stopped by here for a dinner reservation at South and Central for my brother's graduation. Loved the vibe of this food hall which featured a mix of fast-casual and sit down dining. My personal favorites are Starr Hill Brewery and South and Central. I love that there are so many cuisines to choose from as well as multiple options for drinking! Hard to try everything in one visit. I'll definitely have to pay another visit whenever I'm back in cville. read more

Nice to have so many options so everyone in the family could be happy. Cool place and we ended up eating at three different restaurants as a family of four. We also had a foot injured and appreciated its accessibility. read more

Dairy Market - Outside - Food Court Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

Lots of choices for the picky eaters in your group. There is so much space to move around and even games you can play at your table.

As a busy college student, I cannot express the amount of love I have for the Dairy Market. To me, it is like an upscale dining hall. It is great for groups of friends or large families as well, though I enjoy a solo meal from here often. This place truly has everything you need in one large space. I highly recommend the pasta and the latin food, both are out of this world good. The prices aren't too bad, but can get pricey at some stations. Seating is plentiful but can be scarce on busier days such as weekend dinner and lunch. There are bench style seating as well as small tables scattered throughout the space. There is plenty of parking and is free for up to one hour, and then you pay on ParkMobile app. Overall, fantastic food option if you in or local to the Charlottesville area. read more

My family and I ate here with my nephew and his family. Our food was good. We will eat here again. This is a great selection of multiple restaurants in a food court type environment. read more

Great space! Free parking for 1 hour in the lot, which was just enough time to wander through, decide on our meal and eat lunch. We decided to get chicken bowls and they were delicious and then I had to stop to get ice cream too. Variety of options from coffee and pastries to burgers to Thai and southern comfort food! The vendors has Market Monday signs about supporting a nonprofit, but neither cashier i interacted with asked if i wanted to donate a dollar so maybe I missed how to do it? read more

[10:14 AM EST] I LOVE THIS PLACE! I think its a great addition to Charlottesville and I'm glad that I was in town to see the new space! I love the variety of stores and restaurants that this location has. I came fairly early on a Sunday morning at a time where the Eleva coffee shop and Angelica's were the only stands open. I ordered a vanilla latte with oatmilk (made very well but still not as good as mudhouse in my opinion) and pancakes from Angelica's. The pancakes smelled SO heavenly as soon as I received the takeout container. Maybe I was really hungry, but it was the best southern-style pancakes I've had! I saw a wine and cheese shop, a Thai food vendor, a bakery, a Moothru (best ice cream on I-29), a pizzeria, a sandwich vendor, and a bar (my friend said the drinks here are amazing). I also hear that there will be an all vegan vendor opening up soon! I can't wait to come back to Charlottesville to enjoy this one-stop shop when all the vendors open their stands. read more

I love a good food hall and was pumped to go to the Dairy Market! This building and spot goes all the way back to 1912 and is a beautiful building that is well laid out. They have a bunch of food options and two shops right within. It is the best spot to stop in and eat with friends because everyone can get what they want. Pizza, burgers, tacos, pasta, ramen, you name it. I ended up having a wrap from Dino's and it was great. I got the Caesar wrap with avocado added and fries. Everything was made right there and I devoured it. The location as a whole also has plenty of seating, and is incredibly kid friendly. read more

This is a cool spot which is sport of like a food court, but with shops and adult beverages too! Several really nice food joints here!

Fun place to go for a meeting or friends because of all the options to choose from! There's a brewery next store and a restaurant at the end. Inside there's 2 boutique/clothing stores that are nice but on the pricier side. For food you can get anything from ramen noodles, to sandwiches, to BBQ or fried food to ice cream! There's also a wine vendor inside. Definitely gotta check it out! read more

Great selection! A packed food hall full of delicious and affordable options- a little something for everyone. Gluten Free, Dairy Free and Vegetarian/Vegan choices too! Only down side was that the coffee bar in the center was closed. The Arepa place was out of this world good! read more

Great place to go for drinks! This is one of the best bar experiences, great bartenders and watching the process of the drinks being made is the best part. We got there at a good time to sit at the bar. If there's not a drunk on the menu, tell the bartender what you like and they can definitely make you something. Also, if you're not getting dinner from another restaurant at the market, the Riccota dip was a great appetizer. read more

We met with my wife's cousin here in the dairy market. It was a great place to hang out as there were so many selections. This include burgers, Filipino food, Mediterranean food, Japanese food, Thai, vegetarian. We came here at around 7:30 p.m. and most of the Thai food was already gone. I ordered the Filipino food which is very authentic for this Mediterranean bowl in the wood fired place. The best part is that there is ice cream which is Moo Thru. It is a One stop shop of the favorite food that we love. read more

I figured it was time for an update. I know it hasn't been long since I was there, but they deserve that 5th star. Great space, friendly vendors, and adding more all the time. We have tried quite a few of the spots and haven't had a bad dish yet. My wife had the best pho at Chimm. Having Starr Hill there is the cherry on top. Having the ability to take our food and hang with a beer is the best. As I said before, food halls and markets are must stops in bigger cities. It is nice to see Charlottesville join the fun! read more

So happy that Little Manila opened up their long awaited spot at the Dairy Market. Now I can have their food all week long! Lots of their food truck staples like Filipino BBQ (pork belly and chicken), pansit, and lumpia, but now they've added chicken adobo, chicken caldaretta, and others! I need to come back to try other ulam (main dish/entree). read more

This is exactly what Charlottesville needed! The facility is very spacious and has outdoor options, which is great for the current time. The vendor options are amazing and still growing. You could go for pizza and ice cream, or for cocktails and dinner, or for paired wine and cheese, and much more. There is no shortage of ways to visit the Dairy Market, and I think it will soon become a Charlottesville staple. read more

A must experience. Get place to find food for everyone and the bar and ice cream. Great spot.

I think it'll only be a matter of time before this is a 5 star place! This is a really awesome addition to Charlottesville and a great distancing space in COVID times. Open market/food hall type of establishment that has plenty of spaced out seating. Honestly, I think a lot of people like me are just super excited to have Moo Thru closer and in town. Not only does Dairy Market have this, but also a bunch of other delicious restaurants, including Chimm, Dinos, and Angelics Kitchen. I believe that Manilla St is also coming soon - the best filipino food around. For drinks, there's currently Milkman's which is serving up very fancy cocktails and a few beers on draught. For beer lovers, Starr Hill is working on opening up too! With several places still on the way to opening, this place has a lot of potential. It's an awesome gathering area where everyone in your party can pick and choose their dinner based on their preferences, and there's a good variety already! read more
