Great spot downtown with so much variety! The space is so beautiful too. I was downtown and hungry so I stopped by Sterling for a quick and easy lunch. It was bustling with others doing the same but because it's so big it didn't feel overwhelming. They really have something for everyone here. I decided to go with the Fat Shallot for a BLT. The servers there were super nice and the food came out super quick! The sandwich was fine, but the fries were my favorite. I ate lunch, got some emails sent out, and was on my way. It's a super convenient spot downtown with lots of options. Highly recommend! read more

Came here over the holidays and it had some simple, cute decor. I was surprised by how empty the place was since there's a nice variety of options here. Tried 2 places here: 1 was really good and 1 was not good at all. Multiple stands were closed early for the day, but it could be cuz of the holidays. Not the best food hall I've been to, but also not the worst read more

Sterling food Hall offers everything from the perfect place to grab drinks to having a meal with friends! The truffle fries (pictured below) were heavenly! A definite must try! The poke bowls were so fresh and flavorful! If you are down for Nashville hot chicken try Hot Chi the sandwiches are a great size and offer a solid chicken sandwich. They have ones that aren't spicy too! The Bar: the bartenders are phenomenal! I told them what I typically like and they suggested a couple of drinks. Both were so good! The location was clean and the staff kept up with the quick turn over so the tables were wiped down and ready for the next group! The hall can get a bit loud when busy but it's a great spot to meet up! read more

Great selection of restaurants. Clean inside with Lots of seats and it's nice for workers in the area. Since Covid there's less and less restaurants like this combined so it's nice to see one in the loop. They have trivia and happy hours too! read more

I got caught in the name change from Revival to Sterling! It didn't help that, well, Revival website just simply tells you to look elsewhere. This is a fantastic and underrated food hall if any, as there are simply more cuisines than you could theoretically handle in a single visit. I happened to check out Art of Dosa, but the general food hall's ambiance is awesome. Do go here. Check things out, there's a huge variety of cultural food, and things are tasty.. read more

Sterling Food Hall - 360 in front of art of Dosa, Yelp may not necessarily process 360s now any more than in past history. - Food Court Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I came here an hour before they closed. I believe there was about 6-7 stands that was opened. Nice little food hall to come and hang with friends and have a bite and some drinks. Too bad they close early I believe at 7. Wished they opened till like 8-9pm. read more

I had a very short line and the experience was very efficient. My only thing was I wasn't prepared for so much rice and not enough salmon and tuna. The fixings and toppings were good as I chose the Hawaiian w pineapples. Staff was friendly and helpful read more

When I go into a shopping mall, I assume that the supermajority of the stores within are going to be some kind of clothing, shoes, or accessories. I can't fault any mall for this, for such is their nature. With food halls, I've been conditioned to expect variety. My usual food-hall haunts in Boston had all sorts of cuisine: soups, sushi, seafood, salads, sandwiches, and lots of other things not starting with 'S'. However, with Sterling Food Hall, of their 13 eateries (two of which are beverages), five are based in sandwiches and wraps (I did not include Los Milagros or Lito's Empanadas). While I am a sucker for a hot chicken sandwich, and Hot Chi does their schtick extremely well, I am aching for more non-sandwich options. (Yes, I put the data into Excel, yes, I created a pie chart, yes, I uploaded it) Other than this lack of variety, Sterling Food Hall is excellent! It is very clean, has more than ample seating, and has a welcoming modern/trendy vibe. There are also clean restrooms available. Finally, I appreciate that Sterling Strives to go beyond being just a food hall, but also a so-called "Third Place" in the evening, with a happy hour, trivia, music, and other cultural events/happenings. Thus, while I wish for the days (based on photos) Sterling/Revival wasn't dominated by sandwiches, it is still a favorite of mine for a lunch while in-office, especially Hot Chi! read more

So glad this place is within walking distance of the Rookery Building and the Money Museum. Cuisine for all tastes - Mexican, pizza, fried chicken sandwiches, dosa, poke bowls, and vegan (plant based? something that I avoided lol). From FARE I had a huge bowl of turkey basil meatballs, farro, lemony kale, and red cabbage slaw. I wanted a relatively light meal and I made a great choice. Everything was fresh and the high quality justified the price of $14.25. My friend had a hot chicken sandwich. Satisfying, though heavy. We sat at a long table to the right of the entrance and noticed a small bookstore inside, Chicago's only indie bookstore. Extra points for the cool, nostalgic 80's music, tunes that are sadly overlooked on mainstream 80's radio stations. The only odd thing is most vendors don't sell plastic bottles of water. Glass ones with metal caps bottles dominate here. Finally found a screw cap bottle at the Mexican joint. Would definitely return and some places are open for dinner. There's also a bar and special events. read more

I love going to Sterling for a light meal when we are in the city. We usually visit when we have a show to see, and plan one high end meal and then something lighter for the other day. Whenever one is a weekday, I often find myself at the counter at Danke, enjoying their sandwiches, charcuterie, and a beer or glass of wine. Service is always friendly, food is always great. read more

The coffee is good BUT THE MATCHA? HORRIBLE! I had no idea it was going to be nearly $10 but for that price I expected QUALITY. I've gotten better matcha for half the price. Absolutely ridiculous. read more

Quality/Quantity - If you are following, I have been frequenting public markets again and really enjoying it. I especially like the upscale ones with breweries. We tried the following: Litos Empanadas - We got the beef & rice empanada; crispy, fresh, good but on the small size especially for the price of $5+ tax. Dos Taqueria, we got the beef brisket barbacoa taco; generous portions, but you have to eat this with a fork. It was just way too messy due to the saucy tortilla. Art of Dosa - Ramen Dosa wrap. This was a hit. Crispy freshly fried wrapper, good flavors inside. But was there supposed to be ramen noodles in this? We did not have any noodles. Atmosphere - Located in the downtown area, so most customers are local business people. Plenty of seating, community seating, tables, counters, etc. Something for everyone. Individual businesses have promotions, specials, happy hours, etc. See pictures or websites. Open 5 days a week from 7am to 7pm, closed weekends. Again, a downtown location. Website hours differ slightly. 24,000 sq feet, good size. Catering available. Events. Service - Good. Price - Depends on what you eat or drink. But overall, reasonable prices, expected prices for downtown business locations. Owner Suggestion - Congrats on your success since 2016. read more

I stopped by to check out what different foods I could try before leaving for home and ended up trying out Art of Dosa and Bagel Miller. What I got: Art of Dosa Chole dosa wrap (4/5) -- Not too familiar with Indian food, so I didn't know what to expect. The filling was chickpea curry inside this super thin, crispy crepe-like shell. They served it with chutneys and a soup?? I'm not too sure what it was but it went well with the dosa when I dipped it in. If you like complex sour and savory flavors, I would definitely recommend this place. Bagel Miller The BELT (4/5) -- Everything in between the bagel tasted great, but the bagel itself was the weakest aspect of the dish. It lacked chew, that proper bagel crust, and was super thin compared to most bagels I'm used to. This food hall has many diverse food options to choose from, including Mexican, Italian, American, Indian, Hawaiian, etc. I would say prices really depend on the vendor, but I noticed drinks in general were pricey. read more

Lots of choices for food especially if time is tight. Great if you are going with a group of folks with different tastes.

This is a very elegant food hall in downtown (near the Monroe subway station) and I really love it! It's overall a lot better than a nearby food hall that I've been to (Urbanspace). It has a restroom that doesn't require a passcode which is convenient for guests who would like to go before getting food. The downside of this food hall is that they seem to open only on weekdays and not during weekends. Also it was very crowded around noon. Almost all the tables were occupied. Lines were long for some places. Here were the places that I visited within the Revival Food Hall: 1. Revival Cafe I got their seasonal coffee (Maple Cardamom Latte). It has a strong cardamom scent, I neither liked it or hated it. It was fun to try new flavors. I love the huge conference table next to the cafe. I enjoyed eating and reading there. They have wifi! 2. Art of Dosa I originally wanted to try one of their breakfast options but they stopped serving those around noon. I got a Plain Dosa plate instead and it was ok. I'm new to dosa. It's like fried crispy rolled crepe. It's very large, but I still needed to get something else to be full. The side lentil soup and sauces/seasoning were ok. 3. FARE I did build-your-own-bowl with smoked chicken and 3 veggies and a grains base, topped with tahini sauce. It's very flavorful, healthy and delicious. Their side veggies were well-seasoned. I liked this place and would try other options next time! read more

Avoid around lunch hour rush. This large food hall has lots of choices of sandwiches, soups and ethnic foods, anything you may want. There is a make-your-own salad counter at the back. You must walk around to find the specialty items and desserts. There is soooo much to choose from. You go to the counter to order and receive your tray, and eat anywhere at the clean tables. This food hall is modern and bright. So nice that a developer used this dining concept so patrons with special diets can try different items. This venue is perfect for families, a quick stop or carry out, or to get a drink or coffee and relax. So glad we found it near several sightseeing spots. Easily accessible. read more

Thanks (actually, no thanks) to Yelp for the incorrect closing hour of 8pm, we got to Revival only to be in for a rude awakening. What kind of food hall is this!?!? Closed on weekends and on weekdays, every single stand shuts down by 7pm. 7pm is still prime time dinner hour!! We arrived around 6:55pm only to be turned away as food stands were already closing/cleaning up. We were visitors from out of town so not sure if this is in a shady, questionable area which is why they close so early. Ugh, annoying and disappointing. read more

I stopped in for an impromptu visit. I was impressed. The space is large, with clearly defined areas. Coffee, cocktails and food were represented nicely. The decor gives off a stylish vibe without trying to impress. Huge storefront windows offer a view the Loop city scene. There's a huge table with cool lighting. I loved the listening/reading room tucked away next to the bar. The restaurants were stationed down the main hallway. The bartender/barista was helpful without offering very much personality. She didn't greet me when I arrived but was helpful during our interaction. My coffee tasted great. I'm looking forward to returning to grab a bite to eat or to sip on a cocktail as I people watch. read more

This place is nice inside with a variety of different types of foods and drinks. I come in for lunch for break from time to time and I've yet to leave without spending less than $20(maybe it's just me). The service is always good and I haven't had anything I hated yet besides the price. The empanada combos are very good with the rice from Lito's, the double cheeseburger I had was not bad from Harry's Hamburg and wings, and the burrito combo I've had from los Milagros was very good. I've had the fat shallot in Evanston and have yet to try this one but that was one of the best BLTs I've had recently and I can't forget to mention those truffle aioli fries are phenomenal too. Be prepared to spend a little bit of dough but for the options you can get here, it's not a bad switch up from those chain fast food restaurants. Every time I go there's always something new I can try and in one place, that's what I like. Maybe I'll check out the bar after work sometime too. read more

Racist and hostile environment. Me and my friends needed to use the restroom, and they said we needed to leave. If they had just said the restroom is for customers only, there would be no issue, we would easily buy something! They told us the restrooms were closed but greeted some young white girls coming out of said closed restroom. Unnecessary sassy drama. read more

We stopped here on a whim because we were cutting it close to a show down the street at the Chicago Theatre. Smaller than some other food halls that I've visited in the past, Revival was the great fit for my husband and I on a rainy Friday night. It was pretty quiet inside around 7pm (they close at 8pm), so we were able to order food at The Fat Shallot (truffle BLT was excellent) and Los Milagros. It was pretty quiet inside, and I guess I was pleasantly surprised there wasn't a big crowd. I expect this place gets busier around lunch time. The only downfall was that the Revival Bar wasn't as easy to navigate. There is no place to order a drink (coffee side is closed) if all of the bar stools are taken. My husband wanted to order a beer and had to awkwardly find a way up to the bartender. Perhaps signage could be clearer about the process for ordering? read more

Check in here to get a variety of cool local eats at breakfast and lunch. It's a pretty cool place kind of like a market. Revival Food Hall is a gathering of many vendors. Good food and locally made items are available. This is only open mornings and early afternoons on weekdays. Among the vendors in here are Aloha Poke, Art Of Dosa, Bianca's Burgers, City Press Juice & Bottle, Danke, Electric Greens, Familiar Bakery, Lashuk Street Food, and Smoque BBQ. It has both meaty and vegetarian choices. This is a place to check out newer culinary adventures and entrepreneurs. In the middle is the seating area. There's also seats along the walls. A favorite is Art Of Dosa. They have vegetarian friendly Indian cuisine like dosas, of course, and samosas. Meat eaters will like Smoque BBQ. They have big ass briskets and more. About the only bad thing is the hours. It's only open from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. They're closed weekends and some vendors close even earlier than that. read more

I've been coming here since it opened in August 2016. Revival features a frequently-changing cast of outposts of acclaimed restaurants inside a modern space. Prices are high and I usually have to order two different things to be eat enough for lunch, but this is a real asset to the Loop. read more

Came here to meet up with family and although there is so many options, not all of them were open. My cousins had art of dosa that was really good. My husband had fat shallot which was okay for a Reuben sandwich. I had the empanada which good, I was a really big fan of the spicy green salsa made with Serranos.

Was looking for an espresso before the symphony. Yelp told me I could find one here. The coffee/bar was only serving non coffee drinks though in the late afternoon/early evening. The bar was pretty hopping with the after work crowd. I decided to eat instead of having a coffee since there was none to be had. I went to a place called the Shuk and ordered an eggplant dish. I thought it was amazing, particularly the pita which rivaled the pita at any of the well known Mediterranean restaurants I've eaten at all over the world! The eggplant dish used a bit too much oil but not entirely unexpected and didn't ruin it for me. Also, the 2 people working were exceptionally kind. There are maybe 8-10 other restaurants that all look good. Not withstanding the variety, I went back to the shuk next time I was wanting dinner there. I ordered the other eggplant dish, also a lot of oil but still delish. My daughter had the mushroom & onion hummus which was so super yummy. Again the 2 people working were delightful. Lots of food options, few dessert options, plentiful seating. read more
