I like all the food options! Me and my kiddos couldn't figure out what we wanted to eat so we came here because of all options. One kid got ramen from Jinya, another kid got stir fry from District Dumpling and my last kid got a cheese burger from Superette. I got the beef short rib sandwich from Superette. All our food was good, the service at each place was great and I like the open seating. Ordering food from three different places was a little pricey but it was worth it because we discovered something new. Overall it was a great time and I recommend checking this place out! read more

4* only b/c in any food court your fav vendor might or might not be there next time. But you might also discover a new fav. I wish there were more options for a "substantial meal" but maybe that's not realistic for a food court. But otherwise there is a good variety and in my exp staffers are generally helpful when you don't know what you want or what your options are. And lastly, it's in the heart of Ballston with its always colorful mix of characters for people watching. One additional tip - parking in Ballston can be challenging but the public parking garage off Glebe or Randolph is the best deal going - maybe $1.35 for 2 hours. Then an easy walk/elevator ride to the food court. read more

This food hall is in the Ballston mall and has a variety of places including BBQ, Asian noodles, sandwiches, bubble tea, cookies, ice cream, Indian and Korean hot dogs. There's a good amount of seating and the place seems new and clean. There's a good amont of seating and plenty of places to choose from so it's worth checking out if you're in the area. Also, if you don't find what you want here there's a Mezeh and a Chick FIl-a elsewhere in the mall. read more

Nice improvement; the gate is wide open to allow natural light and air (feeling less like a stuffy basement like before in winter but more like a courtyard). Nice food stalls and good variety! Clean restrooms. read more

I've been to Quarter Market countless times because I live across the street from it. It's nice and trendy with a variety of different food and desserts. Ever since I first stopped by in 2019, it has gone through a lot of changes (lots of vendors come and go, unfortunately). They have also expanded a lot in the past few years. I've tried most of the vendors that's available currently and my favorite is definitely Ice Cream Jubilee. While it's a bit expensive, I really like their take on unique flavors and the heritage months that they aim to celebrate. I know a lot of my friends and others really like Hot Lolas (fried chicken and sandwiches!!), Turu's Pizza Kitchen and Superette. Check it out if you're in the area! read more

Wow! This is a great place to go for a hangout with friends, date with your significant other, or just wanting to get out the house! Everything looks gorgeous and it felt great to just sit around with the many food and dessert options inside. We had busted the movie theater a couple of times before finally making the adventure downstairs, and I'm so glad we did! read more

Quarter Market - a view of the inside of a restaurant - Food Court Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

The mall has undergone a total transformation with the new Ballston Market food court on the ground floor and new shops popping up. As fellow Yelper Elite Gretchen noted, the Ballston Market deserves its own listing and the old reviews don't reflect the mall make-over! With over a dozen vendors, the food hall offers diverse culinary cuisines - Rogi pierogis (formerly's Zofia's Kitchen), Rice Crook's rice bowls, Maizal arepa and South American veggie bowls, Go Poke bowls, Roll'd dumplings, Superette hearty sandwiches, Sloppy Mama's BBQ, Hot Lola's fried chicken and curly fries, seafood from The Local Oyster, Bollywood Bistro Indian food, Turu's New York style-pizza from Timber, Ice Cream Jubilee, and Service Station serving beer and cider on draft. There's also sit-down restaurants - True Foods, Bar Taco and Copa Kitchen. There's even Chick-Fil-A, something for everyone! Most of vendors stay open until 9pm on the weekends e.g. Turu's, Ice Cream Jubilee, Rogi, Superette, Bollywood Express, Mezeh - but some of them e.g. Maizal, Roll'd, Rice Crook, Go Poke, close early. Just check the individual restaurant site. After making the rounds to the different vendors - here's the scoop: Rogi - formerly Zofia's Kitchen (4/5) - While the bite-size pierogies are pricey (5 for $9), I enjoyed the pan-fried spinach and feta and the mushroom pierogies with the lemon dill sour cream dipping sauce. The Latake donut is fun to try and a giant hashbrown. The diversity and culinary experience is worth the hefty price. Service Station (5/5) - Impressive selection of beers and ciders on tap. The True Berry Hard Seltzer and Downeast Guava are my picks! Hot Lola's (5/5) - The seasoned curly fries were delish! Superette (4/5) - The red sangria is made to order and quite refreshing, packs a punch! The fried Oreos were a bit of a miss. Ice Cream Jubilee (3/5) - The ice cream looks amazing and a bit deceiving - just not as good as it looks. The crunchy waffle cone really elevates the flavor. Maizal (3/5) - While I was really rooting for the arepas and loaded bowls filled to the brim with a galore of toppings, the sour service really falls short of the food. I arrived a minute before 8pm on Sat and the mean male server shooed me away. The arepas were so overstuffed that all the toppings feel out and turned into a sloppy mess. Maizal has potential, but the poor staff and execution really ruin the experience. Turu's by Timber Pizza (2/5) - The pizza has really gone downhill and heavily coated in grease. Turu's was soo good in the 1st year it opened and just threw in the towel after the 1st slice after my last visit. Bar Taco (1/5) - Hands-down the WORST cocktails. At $10 a pop for a cocktail, the Margarita was a sugar overload and the sangria tastes like jungle juice. If you're looking for a great glass of sangria - head over to Superette. I did a side-by-side sangria taste test and hand-down Superette won! Excited to come back for more culinary experiences and try new vendors! read more

What a fantastic new food court concept! I knew that when Ballston Quarter got announced, it meant that ye olde Ballston Common Mall was getting quite the revamp, but I didn't really think about what it would mean for the former food court options as well. I'm so happy to report that Quarter Market is all you could wish for and more! It's enormous, has a huge, diverse offering of trendy cuisines all headed up by LOCAL businesses, and I couldn't be happier with the selection so far (and there's only more to come!) Hot Lola's, Rice Crook, Ballston Service Station, Roll'd, The Local Oyster, Turu's by Timber Pizza, Sloppy Mama's BBQ, Mi & Yu Noodle Bar, and Ice Cream Jubilee are rocking it out so far in the main food court area, with Copa Kitchen & Bar offering full-service seating close by and tons more on the way (Maizal! Bartaco!), and additional Ballston Quarter restaurants like True Food Kitchen and Ted's Bulletin (both set to open soon!) just a stone's throw away. There's a huge variety of tables and seating, a cute little faux-grassy, green area off to one side with cornhole and benches, and an outdoor plaza area for which they can open garage-style doors to the main area when the weather is nice. Overall, it's an awesome space, and I'm sure will only continue to get better as additional businesses open up inside. Three cheers for Quarter Market! read more

Awesome food hall with plenty of options. I come here every now and then and try to sample some of the dishes here. I love Hot Lola's chicken, Sloppy Mamas bbq, Local oysters fresh seafood and Maizal Mexican street food. Ceilings here are high and they have plenty of seating. There is a lot of street art and cool vibrant colors all around. Great spot to grab lunch or bring the kids. They do have an outside faux garden area where kids can play. The staff keeps this place spotless. The variety here is awesome. You can get everything savory and sweet. I'll be coming back when I'm in the area to try out some of the newer spots. read more

Quarter Market is so nice. It has a hip & trendy vibe that's perfect spot to hang with friends. There was 16 different spots to eat at ranging from Indian to noodles to poke to bbq. Plus a doughnut or ice cream place that are both phenomenal. The place is well kept and clean. There's an outdoor area that occasionally hosts events, like a bring your dog day. Highly recommend! read more

I first learned about the Quarter market within the new Ballston mall and it is amazing and I cant stop telling people about it. It's essentially in the basement of the mall and has SO many food options. There's an arepa fast casual restaurant, there's pizza, there are Spanish bars, oyster bars, you name it. So many food options to explore. It has union market vibes, but is way more low key and less crowded as I dont think too many people know about this place yet. I'm definitely planning on going back to try out all the different options. I went for the fast casual arepas this time and they were so yummy and cheap. I wasnt starving so I got one arepa for $5 and filled it to the max. I then went to copa and had a delicious sangria flight that I will go back for. Cant rave more about this new place in the Ballston mall. read more

This new, chic food court is the place to come for lunch with coworkers or if you want to try out some unique food with your friends! It's got quite the variety of food so no matter what tastebuds you have there is something for you! From Asian cuisine, to ice cream and doughnuts, and pizza, hot chicken, and even an oyster bar, and many more! It is very spacious considering how many restaurants are inside with various seating inside. They also have a nice outdoor area too! read more

What a great addition to the new and improved Ballston Mall! This new food court/dining hall offers a wide selection of food and drinks! Turu's by Timber Pizza - I love Timber Pizza but I'd have to drive into DC for their perfectly cooked oven baked pizza. So I'm pretty excited that I don't have to make a hike for good pizza around NOVA. Their flavors are different than any of the typical pizza places. I was concerned about their oven baked crust inside the food quart but to my surprise, it's cooked to perfection. Sloppy Mama's BBQ - this is your average Northern Virginia BBQ pit so nothing to write off about. Mi & Yu Noodle Bar - I don't think these are hand made noodles but they were still pretty soft and chewy. The broth was pungent of spices and flavor, the meats were tender and melts in your mouth. I can't remember the bar name but it serves it's purpose with lots of beer on tap. I haven't been back in awhile but my understanding is Bar Taco is coming but due to COVID there has been some delays. I highly recommend this food court! You won't find your average mall Chinese food or bland pizza, you'll get a blast of Asian fusion food and quality pizza and more!! read more

Another food hall in the area! AWESOME! Super excited to try and I am glad i did. I love the open seating, lots of stools and tables so even when it's crowded on the weekends, you are sure to score a table for you and your group. i appreciate the bars they have at the different restaurants. They have a great selection of food, from asian (ramen and sushi), to seafood, to arepas, and I heard Bartaco is opening soon! The place is very well kept and always clean. The bathrooms are also clean! We enjoyed the outdoor seating this past summer, grab a scoop on a cone at Ice cream jubilee and just hang outside, sit, and enjoy people watching. This is definitely a family friendly place. My top 3 places to eat is Toro, Ice Cream Jubilee, and a tie between District Donuts and Hot Lola's! read more

This huge market has many food and drink options. The outside area is really nice with big connect four and some other games as well as lots of seating. There was live music when we stopped by on Saturday. Lots of open seating inside and pretty good options to choose from. read more

Wonderful new food hall, not sure when it opened but I believe very recently. Plenty of varied seating, low tables, high tables, lounge areas, outdoor seating. Great selection of different food including pizza, bbq, sushi, rice/poke bowls, fried chicken, ice cream. Doughnuts and coffee coming soon. This market is in the downstairs level C of the Ballston Quarter shopping mall. Clean restrooms. Cornhole game setup inside looks fun. Near the restrooms is a water bottle filling station so bring your own water bottles! read more

Really neat concept. This is a fancy food court where all of the food places actually have top chefs behind the food, like you would have at a standard restaurant and not at a food court establishment. I really enjoyed coming here for a Yelp event and sampling a lot of the stands. Great place to take a date! read more
