My family had a great lunch at The Common Kitchen! You can travel the world in one dining hall and there are plenty of vegan options! I love that this food hall has beer and a large variety of vendors. My husband enjoyed a draft beer while I put orders in at three different businesses. We enjoyed vegan peppered steak, tofu banh mi, and samosas. All the vendors had speedy service and I thought the portions were generous for the price points. The bathrooms at Common Kitchen are definitely kid friendly. I was able to use the changing table in the stall for my toddler without any issues. I also appreciate the cleanliness in the bathrooms at the tables. Many food halls look trashed and this place is well maintained. Overall this business is ideal for my husband and I taking my active toddler out to eat. I liked that she had freedom to move around as needed without being in the way of other customers. And with so many vendors there is a meal to match whatever you are craving. We will definitely be back! read more

This small international food hall is a win for families with young kids and wildly different opinions. It's compact (read: manageable), casual, and has enough variety that no one has a melt down. Only giving it 3 stars because we didn't try a lot of the places. The layout is cozy and clean. We tried a few spots. The hot dog place was a solid choice--simple, reliable, and exactly what you want when feeding kids who just want food they recognize. The real standout for me was the Haitian pâtés: flaky, flavorful, and worth ordering more than one. I tried the codfish which was way too salty but had a nice kick, and the oxtails. Wish they had the chicken and beef available to try. The only miss for us was the Vietnamese spot, which was a little underwhelming compared to the rest--fine, but the simple things I ordered just didn't land for us. Will definitely try another visit to check out the bar and different vendors who weren't open today. I noticed an Indian food spot and the Trifecta bar that seemed like a chill place to catch up with a friend. read more

The food was amazing! I got a bacon egg and cheese and my niece got the grill cheese! Although I did find a black hair in my egg. The coffee was very sweet and the worker even gave us a complimentary drink! It also wasn't as busy as expected! Over all a nice outing! read more

Fantastic spot to try out different restaurants! The diversity of options are unbelievable and definitely worth a visit to anyone interested. Options includes Vietnamese, Creole, Indian, Mexican, and bubble tea :) so many to choose from and all looks tasty to try! At the stalls I checked out, everyone was super friendly and attentive. There is plenty of parking spots and seating area for small and large groups. Plenty of open space too for kids to run around. read more

This is just for Bon Bakes who sold me a "slice" of Red Velvet cake tonight that was as dry and crusty as a rock. This is what I get for supporting a small business. They cut the slice off the cake in front of me knowing damn well that it was stale as could be, put it in the box and handed it to me. Shameful If I knew the size or quality of the product before I paid, I would never have ordered it. read more

The business is a small food court with individual stalls. Most of the vendors focus on Asian and fusion cuisine, with some other ethnic foods also. Prices are reasonable, service seems fast and groups of small tables and chairs exist in a common area. Parking is in the rear and can be accessed a couple of ways, including from behind the adjacent hardware store. read more

After pumpkin picking with friends they recommended we join them for food at the common kitchen. Upon arrival we saw that this location had multiple food stalls with various cuisine options. It was nice to think about exploring different items on this visit or the next. My husband wound up trying Haitian food - he enjoyed fried pork, with rice, beans, a small side salad & a some cake for dessert. My son ordered Birria ramen, which had a rich broth, wasn't spicy but definitely seemed filling for my teens pit of a stomach. I tried pineapple friend rice. All the businesses seemed very friendly it was also really sweet to see many of them laughing and chatting with each other between services like a little food community. The ambiance is simple with multiple tables set around the food stalls which are centered. There are some places to help yourself to water around as well as a few shelves and fridge coolers set up with items from all the vendors if you'd like to purchase drinks or other items. read more

The Common Kitchen - Pineapple fried rice - Food Court Near Me - Clarksville, Maryland

My favorite spot to meet up with friends. There is a little something for everyone here.

This is a great little kitten/cafeteria concept spot. It offers a variety of food, snacks, drinks and sweets selections, from Korean food, Bubble tea, momo dumplings, acai bowls, to cookies, cakes and more. They also have snacks and drinks on the shelves against the wall for convenient grab and go. The entire kitchen is clean, not very big, but do have some tables and chairs can sit. Especially if you've been to the spot or the kitchen, this place is much smaller in scale. Convenient parking, reasonable pricing, friendly employees....mostly. Definitely recommend as a quick eat spot or chill and hang with friends place. read more

The Common Kitchen is great! This international food hall is located in an area that isn't as developed as some other food halls in Rockville, DC, or Baltimore. Therefore, there's plenty of parking! Inside, the food hall has seating with metal chairs, tables, and big windows with natural light coming in. Several people were working or catching up with friends in the environment. The food hall itself is small in size but has various food and drink options including Haitian food, Nepalese dumplings, coffee and sandwiches, Vietnamese food, mochi donuts, tacos, and fast casual Indian food. Every vendor in the food hall was very friendly and prepared our food in a 10-15 minute timeframe. Everything we ate was delicious! read more

Recently tried all the things at The Common Kitchen, which is located in Clarksville Common. With about 10 vendors in this fall hall, you're bound to find a little something to eat/drink for everyone (even your little ones). During our visit, we tried the pan fried chicken mo:mo and tarek chicken from Momo Hub, pork & shrimp wonton soup with noodles (+$) from Anhmazing Banh Mi, the bacon & jalapeno grilled cheese from Trifecto Bar, and a strawberry brown sugar milk tea with boba. My favorite hands down was the wonton noodle soup, which was very flavorful and the wontons were packed with pork & shrimp. Also enjoyed the strawberry brown sugar milk tea, which was a little surprisingly as I'm generally not a fan of brown sugar milk teas. Before you, try to check out their events calendar as they have things like trivia night, live music, and HH. read more

Common Kitchen is a food hall in Clarksville. As the name indicates, there are various food stalls surrounding a common central kitchen. If you look at the arrangement, each stall seems to have what they need right behind them so there probably isn't as much intermingling between the shops but I imagine there is some. I came to this location for the Taco Joint and it was delicious. But seeing all the other vendors impressed me. I can bring my family here and everyone can make their own choice. The following food vendors are there now: Taco Joint Blowfish Poke Trifecto Mochi-Mochi Tasty Empanadas Koshary Corner Royal Tea Anh-mazing Highly recommend you give it a try. read more

This food hall has such great options! Naturally, I had to try a bunch of them. There's ample parking behind the hall and they even had live music playing outside in an open area. The hall has everything from ice cream, Egyptian, Indian and more. Tacos: I had the al pastor - these were very good! A verde sauce would've made these even better but these were so yummy. Chicken Mo-Mo: These were delicious as well, but did get quoted 20 minutes and they took 45 minutes, we weren't in a rush so no big deal just a heads up. Samosas: The STAR of the show! One of the best. Such great flavor and textures. Boba tea: Just okay honestly, but not bad at all but the boba was a bit small and slightly tough and it tasted overly flavored. Overall, lots of good options to find here! read more

I didn't even know @thecommonkitchenclarksville existed until I went in search of poke! They have 11 independent spots, everything from poke to empanadas, tacos to a juice bar. It was such a good find! This @blowfishpoke was so fresh and the @mochimochidmv donuts were the perfect combo of flavor and chewiness. Be sure to get there early, the selection becomes slim close to closing time! These are ube, matcha, and Vietnamese Iced Coffee read more

The Taco Joint is one of many food stands inside of The Common Kitchen food court! I tried their al pastor tacos and the elote bowl and both were very tasty! The meat was very chewy and not tough, and they also provided a hearty portion of meat on each taco. My order took around 7 minutes to make and there is plenty seating on the inside. For a quick taco fix, it's a great place to go! read more

On a dad-daughter trip to nearby Clark's Elioak Farm, a petting zoo and adventure park, we stopped at The Common Kitchen for lunch on the way back to D.C. Coming from the city, we were pleasantly surprised to see an international food hall outside the city. Here's our experience: 1) Space: Built with the goal of cultivating community, it feels like a campus. There's an outdoor space with an open-air tent with tables, public art and a free little library. Inside, there are food stalls and public restrooms. There are a few tables and window seating inside. 2) Food: The food hall is small, but they pack the vendors in well. There's bubble tea, Vietnamese, Egyptian street food, a bar, poki bowls, ice cream, etc. You could easily do a three-course meal by visiting different vendors. 3) Cleanliness: The entire hall is kept spotless with trash cans inside and out. If you're in the area, it's a great place to visit. read more

It's #ThankYouThursday and I have to give a shout out to Howard County's only food hall spot, the Common Kitchen. It's located in Clarksville at Clarksville Commons. I love that it's pretty easy to get to and there's plenty of parking. Although this is probably a bit smaller than some of the other food halls in the Baltimore area, it holds its own. I love the variety of vendors and you can find a bit of everything including Vietnamese, tacos, bubble tea, empanadas, mochi donuts, and much more! I don't think you'll be disappointed by paying them a visit. There's something for everyone! read more

A small and worldly food Hall that so far has exceeded our expectations. We've tried Anh Mazing Banh Mi which has some of the best Banh Mi sandwiches we've had. Go for the Lemon Grass Pork Or Chinese Bbq pork. Foodfricana offers Jollof Rice, Egusi with Goat and Fufu to name a few of the Nigerian delicacies. Namaste foodie offers Indian Street food. Go for the Lamb Kathi Roll and their Veggie Samosas. There is a Ramen spot (Slurpin Ramen), Ice Cream (Scoop & Paddle) Empanadas (Tasty Empanadas) & Poke Bowl (Blowfish) and a few others so a great variety! Outside seating is available as well high top table seating inside. Our service experience for all visits has been positive. If only this hall was closer! read more

I'm obsessed with the food market concept, and Common Kitchen is no exception. It's more akin to Mount Vernon Marketplace than Lexington Market, and the food is amazing all around. My husband has had food from Slurpin Ramen and Namaste Foodie, my daughter and I love the boba tea from RoyalTea and the poke bowls from Blowfish Poke, and the falafel and roasted potatoes from The Koshary are no joke. The entire facility is always clean and everyone is so welcoming. Everyone we've talked to was incredible with providing allergy and ingredients, and there are so many options to choose from. I can't wait to go back. read more

So many options of food and the Bubble tea place is good too! They even let you choose your degree of sweetness for the tea and have so many options. There is Indian food, Spanish food, Asian food, and African food. And the portions are generous. read more

What a cool concept! It's a food court of individual vendors representing international cuisines which include: Vietnamese, Ethiopian, Paraguay, Japanese, Indian, and African. There is also a coffee, bubble tea, ice cream, and flower shop. Visit their website, www.thecommonkitchen.com, for a list of vendors. At the moment, indoor seating is not available, but there is patio seating and benches outside. They have hand sanitizer available at the front entrance. I love the idea of supporting local businesses and can't wait to come back to try other vendors during future visits. read more

This was my second visit; the first time I went specifically to support Tasty Empanadas (see review) but on this occasion, I met my lunch buddy to try other food. Everything is laid out so nicely and my gosh! it is kept sparkling clean. I will have to go back again, since I was so full after eating that I didn't try coffee at Trifecto Bar. I like the ample free parking and spacious feel of the indoor seating - it still pretty much maintains social distancing. I used the restroom this time and it was, like everything else, clean as can be. read more

This place deserves more recognition and reviews: The Common Kitchen is such a bright spot in Clarksville! It's a little off the beaten path, but once you make that turn in, you'll find a huge lot leading to a bustling market filled with diverse vendors and their respective cuisines. From banh mi, ramen, empanadas to smoothie bowls, you'll find eats from all sorts of cultures here. The diverse vendors line the perimeter and center of the space, sharing a... you guessed it... common kitchen. I'm personally such a fan of food halls and spaces because you can grab a little bit of everything in one trip - meal, dessert and drink in one go. I've tried Slurpin Ramen, Tasty Empanadas and Blowfish Poke, but look forward to returning for all the other vendors soon. The Common Kitchen is as local as local can get. read more

Great food market in Clarksville! I have tried all of the stands now, so I am ready for a review. There is a coffee shop, a ramen place, Indian, Ethiopian, ice cream, bubble tea and bread. And a florist as well. All the food stands are delicious and I was especially impressed with the Ethiopian stand. The owner gave us a sample of a complete bowl with sauces and everything and it was amazing! I will definitely go there again for another selection. I wish there was more seating, but many people take their food to go, so it wasn't too full. Great place for lunch with friends since there are so many different options. read more

On cold days, there's not a huge amount of tables inside, but there is a tent right outside, it was just too windy personally for us to eat outside. read more

The Common Kitchen is a mini food hall in HC, part of Clarksville Commons. They showcase local businesses, such as Namaste Foodie, Scoop & Paddle, Trifecto Bar, and Suhay's Little Shop. I love the mission of this place, as it encourages little businesses to reach the locals (and beyond), while the community themselves also support them - kind of like a partnership. There's plenty of parking in the lot behind the Commons. Feel free to walk around the hall, as you can get a meal, some dessert, and even some balloons for a party. There are limited seatings, but most seem to get their items to-go anyway. A nice little gem in the HC area! +various local vendors +part of Clarksville Commons +plenty of parking in rear lot read more

I love this place! They have an open tent next to a big courtyard. We ate and then kids could run around in their grassy courtyard area. I had heard there could be concerts there Saturday and on the weekend. What a great idea! Lots of space to spread out and enjoy food and drinks. I love the idea of different international vendors here and supporting small businesses. I can't wait to come back and try more. We loved the Vietnamese place and the ramen place. read more

LOVE when I can go somewhere with 5 people, everyone orders something different, and everyone is happy. There is tented outdoor seating which is important because there isn't any seating inside. Great concept! Leaving reviews at the individual business' Yelp page I personally went to about food instead of here because this is for the overall marketplace. Note that this place opens at 8am and closes at 8pm which was a bit weird because it was definitely getting more traffic when we left at 7:30 than it was when we got there. Anyway, good to have a close time in mind. P.S. to whoever owns this place -- the air dryer in the second bathroom isn't working. (But the bathroom was nice and clean yay!) read more
