    ★★★☆☆
    “Finally, a well needed "hipster food court" in SD”

    On a Friday evening visit around 6:30pm, Roger found most vendors already closing for the night and nothing that caught his eye food-wise, though he liked the spacious, dog-friendly outdoor seating and said he'd return once the hype settled.
