Revival Food Hall might be Chicago's most underrated eatery. This might come as a shock to many as Revival Food Hall is essentially just a big food court in the middle of Chicago. When you are thinking of places to eat, a food court is probably last in your mind unless you are stuck in a mall or there are no other options. It is most likely because of this that Revival Food Hall has managed to slip under the radar of many and for so long.
In actuality, Revival Food Hall has a massive, industrial-chic interior design housing many of Chicago's favorite eateries from across the city all condensed into one location. The food hall was created with the idea of "all-local dining" and is owned and maintained by Chicago hospitality collective 16" On Center. The huge marketplace is located right in the middle of the central business district of Chicago. It was built mainly to cater to busy businessmen during their lunch hours providing them some of their favorite meals without going an hour out of their way.
Revival Food Hall is a must visit for any Chicago foodies. Visit while you are hungry as you will want to try out more than one food stall!
