Spent the day in Hollywood checking out new places that have popped up. Saw this building from across the street and it sparked my curiosity. There was a full bar and a few different options for food. It was set up kind of like a food court in a mall but this one was in an old hotel. The pizza place (Mad Pizza) was the best pizza I've had in a long time. Would definitely come back and check it out, as they were still building it out. read more

The wife and I were food and drink hopping in Downtown Hollywood and noticed across the street from Young Circle this old hotel with the lower portion called "Block 40 Food Hall" and had to investigate. Upon entering there were two rows of red movie style seating positioned in front of a massive monitor which was an interesting addition to a food hall. There were two retro pin ball machines, five active eateries and a center bar with optional outside patio seating. #1 Chop Shoppe #2 Mad Pizza #3 Hollywood Creamery #4 Donut Cream Hollywood #5 Uchu Tacos Information from an inside source advised that modifications to the Food Hall are in the works for Chinese and Sushi restaurants to take the place of the recent Brew Bar that went belly up. While we were here we ate an excellent thin crust spicy pepperoni pizza at Mad Pizza and had ice cream samples at Hollywood Creamery. ATM machine and bathrooms available. Interesting concept with an area to relax and grab a brew or snack. read more

What a pleasant surprise!! We came here on Christmas Eve not sure whether it would be crowded or empty. It was quiet but that was fine for us! It's a small food hall but with great options. We had the Mexican /Peruvian ! Wasn't sure how this mix would go but it was amazing! I had the short rib tacos; they were so tasty! Also tried the mushroom saltado bowl that my husband got and was pleasantly surprised!!! Although the tacos weren't big, they came with chips and guacamole which were very good. The service was quick and easy! We ordered using the app and so diners in our party could order from multiple places and we all were served together. After lunch we got ice cream and doughnuts! Both delicious!! Shout out to the doughnut place that gave us 2 extra doughnuts!! I will definitely come back and try some of the other places! read more

My family and I came here Friday late afternoon for dinner. I thought the space was cool, but small. I wish there had been a couple more food options. My kids got pasta from Dalmoros. It was really good. The employee even gave us tastings of a few of their sauces. We loved all of them. My husband and I got chicken tenders from Hangry Joes. They were delicious. We also got a taco from the Mexican place that was there. On the way out, we got doughnuts from Donut Cream. They were good, but really sweet. Overall, we had a good experience. Service was prompt and friendly. I just hope they add some more options in the future. read more

We came to check out a new food hall a few days before the official ribbon cutting ceremony. Think food court at a mall but nicer. They still had a few spots that weren't open but what was opened looked good: from donuts to ice cream to fresh made pasta. They even have a vegan option spot (Von) that's Jamaican/asian fusion. We went to the Hangry Joes Chicken. A little on the expensive side considering what the food was but at least the lady that took of us was friendly. Need to check out the Indian street food station and the lux burgers station. You order the food in one place and then have to go to a big bar to get sodas, etc. Luckily they give you a plastic glass filled with ice when you order a coke. The can is room temperature. I can see this place being packed at peak hours so plan accordingly since there is limited street parking in and around the place. read more

I love seeing a historic building in its glory and the Mediterranean Revival designed Great Southern Hotel overlooking ArtsPark is looking its best with a new facade of striped canopies over the arched windows. The new Block 40 Food Hall now occupies the first floor of this historic building. The Great Southern Hotel was built by the founder of Hollywood, Joseph W. Young in 1924 and the construction workers who built the city stayed here. Through the years it was a popular vacation destination before closing in 1991. It was restored and reopened in 2021. Block 40 Food Hall is Hollywood's first food hall and it is operated by Society 8 Hospitality, which also runs Sistrunk Marketplace & Brewery in Fort Lauderdale, Park & Ocean, and Wild Thyme Oceanside Eatery in The Atlantic Hotel & Spa on Fort Lauderdale beach. Here you will find 10 dining stalls, a restaurant Loco Ocho, a large central bar, games like darts, and a sidewalk patio with a view of the park. Customers order food and drink by using a QR code like at Sistrunk Marketplace. Block 40 Food Hall vendors include Dalmoro's Fresh Pasta to Go, Vons Asia Kitchen, Catch Hollywood, Hangry Joe's, CHO:TU, Phastbreak Cheesesteaks, C.L.A.S.S. Burger, Donut Cream, and Hollywood Creamery. On the day I visited the whole food hall was watching the soccer match between Spain and England. Upcoming events include Biz to Biz Networking, Weekly Tap Takeover, and Live Music. I like the variety of food vendors offering different cuisine, drinks, and desserts. Downtown Hollywood needed a place like this where people can hang out and stop in for a drink or a bite to eat. This spacious and bright food hall fulfills a need in the community for a gathering place. It is great to see such an iconic Hollywood landmark filled with life again. read more

There's a new food hall on the block... Block 40 that is! There have been so many new things popping up in Hollywood lately and Block 40 is no exception. This new food hall concept is right on the corner of Hollywood Blvd and 19th St, pretty close to Young at Arts Circle. There is street parking all around and it's actually a really good size with a good amount of places to choose from. The inside is super spacious and had a modern industrial look. There was plenty of seating from community tables, to booths, to tables, to even movie theater style seats for the area that had big screens to watch things on. It's still really new so when we went on a weekday, it looked like a good amount of the vendors were still working at a slower pace and getting their menu and bearings together. I'm excited to come back when it's been open for a bit! Overall, a cool spot to explore if you're in the Hollywood area! read more

Whohoooo!!! Would give this amazing stars!!! I loved everything I got today. We sampled a bit of things. Will have to try the other spots when I come back... here is everything we tried. Class Lux Burger - a kids meal slider with potato wedges. Man, this was really good!!! I have been looking at the regular Class Soirée restaurant that is around the corner saying that I wanted to try it out, but I never got the chance. Having this little spot in the food hall allowed me to sample some of what they have to offer. The potato wedges had cheese and pork belly/ thick bacon on it (heavenly) and the slider was really good too. Worth it if you like burgers. Loco Ocho - a steak quesadilla that was super flavorful and the steak was tender. Soooo good!!! We'd get this again. Hangry Joe's Hot Chicken and Wings - 18 chicken wings naked split order to get 9 tossed with soy garlic and 9 tossed with buffalo sauce plus a side order of waffle fries. I took 2 of my hubby's wings, I liked them. I like the fact that you can get good flavors minus the heat (because heat doesn't agree with my poor belly). Hubby said the wings, coleslaw and fries were fire and he was about to hurt himself eating too much. Lol CHO:TU - When we first walked up, we were greeted immediately and advised to ask if we had any questions about the menu - street food menu on one side of the menu and more traditional Indian foods on the opposite side. We got an order of samosas that I almost lost because the grease tore the bottom of the paper bag that they placed them in. They looked good and the taste was too! Yum! Donut Cream - 4 donuts ( glazed, chocolate frosted, Nutella and a maple bacon) . They looked scrumptious. Super nice lady (maybe owner?) working the counter and filled our order and asked us to write a review (we told her that we would). Hollywood Creamery - a coconut cream milkshake (a large one because that ice cream was sooooo good when they let me sample it). Dalmoro's - they let us sample the Mamma Rosa sauce... oh my gosh, it was so creamy and good... the flavor was niiiiiceeee... I will definitely will be back to get some pasta with that sauce. I just didn't get any today because I had already gotten so much other stuff. But I'll be back for sure for some of this... This place is worth a visit, lots of places to choose from. LOVED the ambiance. Nicely decorated, had games (darts, jenga, pinball and connect 4) for people to partake in while dining so it's nice to probably just spend some time here chilling with friends or family. They have a bar area too if that's your thing. We didn't stay to eat, we ordered everything to go but still had to spend a bit of time waiting on our orders to be ready so that gave us time to take pics. read more

This is a new food court right across the street from Young Circle. I tried them out the other night and had some pasta and some tacos, it's a nice place to hang out with friends. Have a couple drinks and a bite to eat. There's plenty of different choices of food to eat here. Parking is the only problem in downtown Hollywood especially when there's an event going on. read more

Overall a rather disappointing dinner at CHO:TU. There are a multitude of alternative restaurants in South Florida serving better quality Indian food. My fiancé and I ordered the thali and unfortunately we really only enjoyed the samosa. The daal was too watery for our liking. The Madras Masala chicken tikka was definitely spicy; however, the flavor was off as if the sauce had an excess amount of sugar. Additionally, the gulab jamun was cold. We did very much enjoy the Biscoff ice cream at Hollywood Creamery, though. Very unique and tasty flavor. Definitely worth every calorie and penny. We will likely come back to Block 40 to try the other restaurants, and definitely have more ice cream read more

A former historic hotel. Couldn't be saved, but replicated in stunning detail. Inside is a hidden gem. A large bar with friendly bartenders and great drink specials. It's a food hall with great bar snacks, full meals, desserts, and more! A huge amount of variety and all of the food is fantastic. There's also a huge screen and seating to watch the big game. This is a wonderful spot that's filled with variety. read more

Came here for the first time today. So much fun. Several restaurants to choose from and also ice cream and donuts in the back of the food hall. We all ate at uchutacos and it was so delicious. We had donuts and ice cream after and it was really good. Service was excellent, everyone was so nice. The ambiance was nice as well, it was quiet on a Sunday after church. read more

Food halls are still a rather new genre, and some are still finding their legs. Such is Block 40. My wife and I found ourselves there midday while hungry, so we stopped in. It was completely dead inside, which could have been due to the time. Ironically, we had a hard time finding anything interesting. I settled on a burger from a place serving only burgers. It would have to be good, right? Wrong. It took forever, was expensive, and tasted frozen. It came with no accompaniments. My wife had a forgettable salad from a different kiosk. Meh. Everything was self service and there really wasn't much ambiance. The saving grace was a doughnut shop with some sort of candy bar-infused gem of pure fat calories. It was glorious. Lunch was saved. I don't get to downtown Hollywood very often, but I wish this place the best. Once it gets past its growing pains, it has potential. read more

I have been here twice so far. The place is huge and spacious with plenty of tables and different types of seating. I tried the sauces at the Pasta stand, the Oxtail bao buns at Von, and the house made butter pecan ice cream at the ice cream stand. Everything was delicious. The owners and employees are all friendly and very helpful. read more

Block 40 Food Hall just opened up in Downtown Hollywood. Their grand opening was on Friday, June 7th. Block 40 is also from the same owners of Sistrunk Marketplace in Fort Lauderdale. We found parking on the street and paid for parking with the ParkMobile app. The new Food Hall is located in a historic building located across from ArtsPark and Hollywood Hot Glass. They only have a banner sign at each of the main entrances, but no official signage as of yet. You might miss it if you don't look hard enough, the banner is small. The space is cool with high ceilings and an industrial vibe. They have a cool area with a few movie theater style seating with a huge screen upon one of thentrance . There's plenty of seating indoors and on the patio. Love the games and activities like giant Jenga, giant Connect 4, arcades games, darts. Great for kids. There's probably about 10 food vendors ranging from Italian, Mexican, Asian, Indian, seafood, burgers, ice cream, donuts, hot chicken/wings and Philly cheesesteaks. We had friends in town and our kids in our group. We wanted to try a variety of foods. This is what we ordered: * Dalmoro's Fresh Pasta to Go: fusilli with "Like Butter" sauce, side of meatballs, rigatoni with Cacio e Pepe and chopped bacon, tiramisu. * Hangry Joe's Hot Chicken & Wings: medium spice level wings, Korean bbq chicken nuggets with soy garlic. * Catch Seafood Market: build your own poké bowl. * PhastBreak CheeseSteak: supreme cheesesteak. Our top favorites were hands down the super fresh pasta from Dalmoro's. You can taste the freshness of the pasta in that first bite. They make the pasta fresh at the counter. Great selling point. We knew right away we wanted pasta the moment we walked in. The tiramisu was a good size for a sweet treat and so yummy. Creamy and delicious. Hit the spot and great way to end our food experience. Hangry Joe's Hot Chicken & Wings was "Winner, winner, chicken dinner!" The wings were ridiculously juicy, even though the medium was still spicy and I'm a hardcore spicy food lover. We couldn't stop eating it though because it was that good. The Korean bbq nuggets were so tasty and still crispy with the sauce coating it. Yummm! Both vendors were clear winners. Unfortunately, we weren't impressed with the poké bowl from Catch Seafood Market. We love a good poké bowl and this one missed the mark for us personally. For $22 after tips, we didn't get much tuna and salmon for the price point. Also felt like they skimped on the other ingredients too. The edamame didn't look or taste fresh, you can see it on the edamame skin. Mango needed to be a tad more ripe, it was not sweet at all and way too firm. Cilantro was chopped and we got a sprinkle of it. Cilantro makes the bowl too. Our group thought the fish didn't taste fresh. Although other ingredients were fresh, the poké was lacking. Another miss was the supreme cheesesteak from PhastBreak CheeseSteak. They didn't seem to have it together. When we walked around looking at all the food options before ordering, I didn't even know what their booth was selling until I saw the menu with their tiny logo on the TV. No sign on their booth. We ordered our food at the table with QR code but no section for notes to modify so I had to walk over and let them know we wanted mushrooms on the side. They asked which order was mine so they could note accordingly, I said the one with cheesesteak supreme and fries. The guy didn't even know they had fries. He also asked if I wanted my mushrooms cooked which I thought was odd. When they delivered the food, it looked disappointing. My mushrooms on the side was canned mushrooms, yuck. Side of fries was a weak portion. Cheesesteak portion was aight. Barely any onions or peppers. Thought it could use more cheese too. I will say the flavors of the cheesesteak was actually tasty but too many other downfalls that we didn't thoroughly enjoy it to the fullest. At a whopping $24 after tips, not worth it. I love the food hall concept and I realize everything is still new. I do hope Catch & PhastBreak take these as constructive criticism and it helps them improve. They could both be great. Von wasn't open when we went but wish they were as the oxtail bao bun sounded delish. The Indian spot wasn't open either but they looked like they didn't have anything set up as of yet. Would have loved Indian food too. Wishing the best to all the vendors here. We hope to come back soon to try the other options. Congrats on the new food hall!!! read more

Wow this is a must try spot. I love this place for the bar and different food options located in one spot. Drink specials are very good with a full line of top shelf beverages. My wife choose to try The pasta. Pasta was mediocre with vodka sauce lacking flavor & pasta overcooked. I tried the angry joes and this sandwich which was on point. The chicken was 2 time bigger than the bun. The flavors was definitely hitting. I got the hot but should have got the medium so be careful . We also tried the donuts a must try if you have a sweet tooth. We will back to try the other restaurants soon. read more

Last Sunday, I went to this wonderful food hall called Block 40 that recently opened up in Hollywood. I went with a group of seven people I'm friends with. I was calm enough to have great conversations with friends. It wasn't too noisy and I loved the vibe. The Food hall has Indian , chicken joint, Mexican, fresh pasta place, a seafood joint, cheesesteaks , a burger joint, an Asian kitchen and for desserts they have a artisanal donut place and an branch of Hollywood creamery. I tried the Indian joint where I ordered samosas. The samosas were spicy and had a nice kick to it. There was a green sauce and a sweet like brown gravy sauce that came with it. I preferred the green sauce as it gave a nice kick to the samosa, which were big in size and tasted great!! There are two samosas per order. I then decided to have dinner. I was greeted by a very helpful cashier named earlease. She gave me very helpful suggestions and recommendations. I tried a sample of the Rosa sauce and I knew right away to order it. Upon her suggestion, I ordered the Fettuccine Rosa with Parmesan. It was absolutely delightful. The pasta is freshly made and comes in a box container. The label on the container suggests not to close it. It was amazing and I had the leftovers at home. Earlease hand delivered the dish to me at my table. By the way, just for your information the joints at the food hall only take cards and mobile pay. They do not take cash as the food hall is cashless. Also there is a bar area that has darts , pinball machines, and games. Next time, I plan to try the chicken joint and one of the dessert places. This is a kid friendly place and I saw lots of families here. I highly recommend this place to gather with a group of friends. It is not noisy and very mellow atmosphere. I am planning to go here again definitely!! read more

Pasta at Delmoros was really good! Big portion, flavorful, fresh, and HOT. I would go back. $9 for a scoop of ice cream at Hollywood Creamery. Hard pass. It was ok, nothing spectacular. Clean. Plenty of seating. Loud music though. It would be nice to have one section for sensory sensitive kids where the music was not as loud. Would like better non alcoholic beverage offerings. I wanted a lemonade for my child, no one had it. Delmoros had flavored perrier and that was the closest i could get. Otherwise its all soda, beer, and the bar. read more

A much needed addition to our neighborhood- if you've been to Sistrunk marketplace you are familiar with the model. There are a variety of food options, my favorite so far is CLASS Luxe Burger. The spareribs and open faced lamb slider are included in this review. The Haitian picklez is the perfect accompaniment to the well seasoned lamb patty - we almost didn't order this and I'm so glad we did! Trying Von Asia Kitchen next. So happy our little neighborhood is evolving. read more

We visited the first week they opened. Nice location & cool vibe. Our visit may have been to early, as some locations still organizing their spots.

We were so excited to try block 40 food hall! It is just the type of place downtown Hollywood needs! Great spot to bring kids, dogs, meet friends, and watch sporting events! Block 40 food hall has multiple tvs, one huge projector style tv, games, full liquor bars, and multiple different food choices that offers something for everyone. Also a great spot for groups/parties! You can scan QR code to order from table or order from the business you want. We decided to try a few places and we were so happy with all of our choices! Well shared a lobster roll from The Catch, it was pricey for the size but did have a good amount of lobster and did taste delish. We also shared two sliders from C.L.A.S.S burger, the open face lamb slider and the cheese beef slider. Both were cooked to order, served hot, and were awesome. Lastly we shared two scoops of ice cream from Hollywood creamery (lemon and biscotti) and wow, it really tied our whole meal together! We can't wait to go back!! read more

We were greeted at the door by one of the managers, Jake, who explained the concept and was a very gracious host whenever I flagged him down with a question. There were three of us, and anxious to try everything, we ordered way too much food. But the prices are more than fair, and they have take-out containers, so nothing went to waste. I can't complain about any of the food. The plantains were sweet, the forbidden rice was flavorful and the lamb slider absolutely delicious. My favorite, however, was the fusilli amatriciana...so, so delicious. No words, my friends. This delectable dish (as good as what I've had in Italy) came topped with 3 small meatballs for a $2.99 up charge. Well worth it. (Restaurant Dalmoros) This is a casual spot. The industrial decor sets the mood for a fun night! Would definitely recommend! Can't wait to return! read more
