    Exterior of food hall
    Tiffany Y.

    Lawrence Hall is a food hall that contains the restaurants Kazoku Sushi, La Palapa, Loaded, Cuddy's Soul Food, and Scoops & Cones and the bar Dear James. The food hall is uniquely inside a repurposed warehouse from the 1890s. My husband and I were customers here one time. We could order either from a QR code on our table or from the individual restaurants' counters. We ate vegetable spring rolls (4 stars) from Kazoku Sushi; a smashburger and fries (4 stars) and a bacon-ranch corn dog (3.5 stars) from Loaded; and a sweet-potato pie (3 stars) from Cuddy's. All of the employees spoke very nicely with us, and we did not have long waits for our foods. A free water station was available to use. Plenty of self-serve seating was available in the two-story building. I recommend Lawrence Hall to people who want to support local businesses and try a variety of foods.

    Stopped here for lunch on a Friday afternoon while in the area for shopping and running around. What brought us here was the search for a sushi place in the Lawrenceville area. This is a cool concept: several food options, a bar, and community cafeteria seating which allows you to order via QR code from all places and staff serves the food and drinks. Staff was nice and friendly, as well as informative.

    Pretty empty food hall with occasional events and deals for the weekdays, including Taco Tuesdays. There's a lot of tables upstairs and downstairs. You have the option of ordering from a table via QR code or go directly to the restaurant booths and ordering there. They also have some classic arcade games and pinball machines upstairs. It's a very self-service vibe with napkins, water jugs, water cups, and utensils available at certain stations.

    Stopped in after the Lawrenceville cookie walk! it's a dining hall concept so lots of choices. We went with "loaded" and got the smash burger and a bacon ranch Korean corn dog to split. Food took a bit to come out, but once it did everything was incredible, hot, fresh and delicious!

    I stumbled in here after a failed attempt at trying to watch a dodgeball game across the street. I ended up at the sushi vendor and got shrimp dumplings. It was $7 for a plate full. The service was quick and I even enjoyed a beer at the bar. I'm gonna have to come back for happy hour. I also loved that they had live music. It almost feels like it's not Lawrenceville.

    My husband and I had a wonderful time at Lawrence Hall! We were there on a Friday, sat at the bar, drank, ate, and watched some sports. We ordered several drinks...the bartenders were amazing! We then ordered from Kazoku, Loaded, La Playa, and Scoops and Cones. Our favorite was the Korean corn dog by far. The atmosphere was so laidback but everyone seemed to have a great time. We loved the decor and the garbage stations and bathrooms.

    Great experience at Lawrence Hall! We went on a Saturday afternoon for brunch. I started with a mimosa and my husband tried a Bloody Mary. My only disappointment was that only one kitchen offered brunch, so I ended up getting lunch instead. I enjoyed 2 tacos from La Palapa & my husband and I split a Korean corn dog from Loaded, and my husband had a burger from Loaded. All of the food was incredible! The server that was working the floor was incredibly friendly, helpful, and attentive. All of the food came out pretty fast. It's a family friendly spot with high chairs and stroller "parking." This is such a cool spot with lots of tables and a beautiful bar. Definitely will be returning for dinner, more cocktails, and ice cream!

    First time going and tried Kazoku with my lunch date. The vibe in there is so cool! There's about 5 different restaurants and a bar to order from. I got the kazoku bowl and they got the crunchy California roll. We'll definitely be back, possibly to try the soul food next time !

    each restaurant has its own storefront/stall and you order on your phone from your table and they bring it to you!

    I love this place!!! I can't believe it has taken me so long to try it. I actually saw an advertisement on a billboard on 28 and that is what prompted me to check it out, we've been here multiple times since! I love the ambiance in here. Lawrence Hall is a classic food hall housing multiple restaurants that you can order from. There is also a decent bar too. You go in and find a table (first come first served) and then use your phones and QR codes to order. I love that you can get various things from different restaurants. This is great for a group where everyone can find what they want or for anyone (like me) who has a hard time making decisions and wants to try it all. Once you order the food is brought out to you which is great. They also have a self serve water station, but the servers are kind and often bring you some as well. *edited to add - Since la palapa does not have its own page, I have to take the time to comment on their food. We love it!!! we at the very least get the chips and dips every time we come here. Very good guac and queso, and the salsa is pretty good too (although tomato heavy).

    So we've been here about 10 or so times since it's opening and I think we have a good handle on how things work. Sitting at the bar for drinks is great. You don't have to use the QR and can order like a normal bar. Drinks are always great. No complaints. Food... not so much. The ordering is a pain and nothing is timed well. Most of them are slow, others are slower. I feel like the food hall hype died about 8 years ago so this place feels out of touch. There isn't any restaurant that stands out as a must have like Iron Born pizza use to. Instead it's more food court quality. It's also frustrating when one person's meal arrives while others have to wait another 15-20 minutes. Every time we order food, we always ask ourselves "why did we eat here?" So go for drinks at the bar, but plan dinner somewhere else.

    Shrimp tacos
    Alexa S.

    I found Lawrence Hall to be mediocre for my first time. I ordered the shrimp tacos and there was next to no flavor and the tortilla fell apart right away. The side of potatoes were okay but nothing to rave about. Maybe I just ordered the wrong thing because there were plenty of options! I saw a Japanese place is being put in the hall which is exciting. Overall this place has a fun atmosphere but there are much better places to go for food.

    Great drinks and fast service. This is a cute place to go grab a drink or something to eat. The decorations are beautiful and the service is really good. There's multiple restaurants so if you have a group of people it will be good because everyone can get what they want.

    Very nice first impression. Great space and well laid out with seating on the main floor as well as a second level with a balcony. Only tried Toma which is Italian. Had spaghetti and meatballs (huge!) which were delicious! Also nice touch with Lawrence Hall providing chilled sparkling or still water at a self serve counter. While it's not full service there were plenty of staff walking around with one person asking if I needed a to go box and another promptly clearing my used dishes. Looking forward to coming back and giving other places a try!

When we walked in, the host greeted us right away, asked for our name, and seated us pretty quickly. There were actually a good amount of open seats, so I am not sure reservations were completely necessary, but it was still nice to have one. I honestly expected the inside to feel more extravagant and space themed, almost like an outer space vibe with more visual elements and atmosphere. I was hoping for something more immersive and futuristic. It was still cool overall, just not quite as visually dramatic as I imagined. We ordered an espresso martini and the Kiwi Nova. I really enjoyed my drink, especially after talking with the host who explained that they use scientific processes for their cocktails along with fresh purées and fresh ingredients. That is something I really appreciate because I am not a fan of drinks made with a lot of simple syrup or fake additives. He loved his espresso martini and said it was one of the best he has had. My drink was definitely on the sweeter side and I feel like too much of it might lead to a hangover, but it was still really good. Our server was attentive at first, but later on we ended up waiting a while to order another round. After sitting for a bit, we decided to order through the hostess instead and she got us taken care of right away. Overall, it was a cool experience mainly for the drinks. The cocktails were definitely the highlight. Service was okay, and I am not sure if we will return, but I am glad we finally got to check it out.

They're good, but at that price I can really only justify having one. Note: They do not have food, just snacks like peanuts.
