In a shocking turn of events, two more eateries have closed at the Food Hall at Phipps. Mad Dads Philly's and Stackhouse Burgers & Shakes, both of which were already replacement stalls, closed quietly earlier this week.
The Food Hall at Phipps, originally known as Citizens Culinary Market, has seen more than its fair share of turnover and despite having several Atlanta influencers shill for them, seems to have experienced limited improvement in traffic [sales].
As the old adage goes, "you never get a second chance at a first impression," and for most, their first impression of the Food Hall was that it was a disappointment.
The food hall has a collective 3.6 star rating on Google with just 168 reviews, the most recent of which was a month ago.
In our visits to the food hall, most food stalls seem incredibly slow, with staff bored on their phones, with the exception of the bar, which seems to have a decent business and attentive staff.
According to the Phipps Plaza website, the food hall's current stalls are: Lokma Mediterranean Kitchen, Wasabi Sushi & Ramen, and Pizza Jeans, with "more coming soon." Another part of the website suggests that Mad Dads and Stackhouse are still open and operating, while neither mentions Beanissimo, which replaced Cultivate, which replaced Ella Mia, and is still open.
What are your thoughts on the changes at the Food Hall at Phipps Plaza? What has been your experience at the Food Hall? Do you think the food hall can be saved?

Maybe they will close up the food stall and put Belk’s back. Or put in a Maur’s
Bring back The Tavern
What a surprise. NOT!
Unfortunately when a mall (no matter how ritzy it is) gets a reputation for having a ghetto black clientele (and I’m a 55 year old black female), there’s no going back, they can open fancy restaurants, open high end stores, renovate, but the fact is Phipps and Lenox are not attracting wealthy white and Asian customers anymore and that will ultimately be its downfall. It is what it is.
Anyone who posts here and says “I’m black” so they can say whatever racist nonsense they want to say and try to make it sound good……is not black.
People just don't go out anymore and pay outrageous prices for food thanks to the Trump inflation from the Trump virus and Trump tariffs and the Trump war in Iran. People just stay at home and stare at their dumb phones all day and be brainwashed by right wing propaganda
Buckhead looks like absolute shit these days lol. So ratchet and dirty.
Buckhead Kool,
Buckhead Fun!
Like a murderous episode of
Sanford and Son!
You have to go there to know that.
Honey, you know good and damn well that Phipps has turned ghetto. it does not matter if the person who posted that is white, black, yellow or green, ghetto black thugs will turn an an upscale area upside down. Facts are not racist.
Or they can go to Atlanta and get robbed.
@6:17 and 11:39 hit the nail squarely on the head.. FACTS.
“Honey” - once again, a perpetrator.
Or they can stay home and clutch their pearls and shake in terror of anyone who is not white, male, republican, straight and christian.
Sanford and Son was a hit show! Very successful and loved by millions. Great example! Thanks!
Not FACTS. Just because you use the word and capitalize it every time doesn’t make what you say a fact. Nor does it make anyone believe you are black.
I work at Phipps. It’s a hoot! We have customers who live in a $600 a month project apartment on the south side of Atlanta , yet are spending $1,000 for a pair of designer sneakers all cash sale, and take the bus home. Make that make sense.
When is the last time Gucci opened a store in the ghetto? Enough said.
People that defend the segment of society and culture that breeds savage violence, crime and urban decay are pathetic.
Do you then collect the commission on that sale and spend it? Or do you refuse to accept it? That would be a hoot!
I run the other direction when I see those people
Good, they don’t want anything to do with you either, hater.
Phipps lately has a history of not being able to sustain restaurants. That popular bar and restaurant combo that was a great happy hour spot (can't remember the name of it) closed years ago which was a shock. There used to be a nice crepe place near one of the exits that I went to all the time. It's been gone for something like 30 years. What Phipps needs is a very upscale place, maybe that has steaks as it's focus.
Very few whites, Asians, Indians, and even Hispanics want to shop at a place with an all black customer base, prove me wrong.
They lost the tavern, davios, and grand luxe cafe in the last five years
You’re wrong. Making shit up. Go to the mall and walk it on a Saturday. All kinds of people are there. Stop making shit up.
When is the last time a white person went shopping at stone crest or greenbrier? Crickets……….
If you went, you would know. Lots of people shop at both of them.
When Silver Spoon was there, that was the best! The chicken pot pie for lunch was amazing. And a stroll through Snooty Hooty and Lord and Taylor after.
