    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.

    A "slice" of cake...

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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

    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.

    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!

    Stumbled upon this place and I'm glad I did. My daughter and I love dining at different places and trying new food items. This place didn't disappoint The Royal Tea was good but a bit pricey The Aloha shrimp tempura rice bowl was good The Ah-Mazing lemongrass chicken bowl was good just expected veggies not just cabbage Overall good we would return for another visit!

    Al pastor tacos + elote corn bowl
    Allysha O.

    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!

They also have a great Taco Tuesday deal ($1.95 tacos with chicken, chorizo, or steak), which I'll definitely be back for. * Momo Hub had chicken dumplings that were juicy and packed with flavor. * The jerk nachos from The Champs Kitchen were one of my favorites--very well seasoned. * Claude Have Mercy was a standout. I tried the salmon tenders, shrimp sliders, and rum cake, and everything was really good. For drinks, I stopped by C3 Bar and tried the Watermelon Candyrita, Claude's Crush, and an espresso martini (The Commuter). All were well-made and complemented the food nicely. Another plus: select bar bites are $9.99 and cocktails are $10 when paired, which makes this a great option for a budget-friendly outing.

    HOW did I not know this place existed?!…read more I went to Franklin Street Social with a few friends on a random Wednesday evening a few weeks ago, and I am not exaggerating when I say my mind was BLOWN the second I walked in. Let me set the scene: 13 restaurants. FULL commercial kitchens. One central bar. A historic factory turned into a warm, vibey, eclectic gathering space. And yes...an actual slide for adults that delivers pure, unfiltered joy. We arrived just before closing and had no issues with parking -- plenty of spaces right outside and well-lit, which is always appreciated. But the second we walked in? Game over. This place is STUNNING. Think warm string lights, wood accents, quirky design details, and little surprises everywhere you look. There's even a book vending machine. Like...what?! And then comes the real challenge: choosing what to eat. With 13 options, this was honestly the hardest part of the night. I strongly considered just committing to chaos and getting one item from every vendor, but maturity (barely) prevailed. For my first visit, I went with a tempura shrimp bowl from one vendor and grabbed a kiwi strawberry drink from another so I could at least pretend I sampled the variety. My adventure buddies did the same -- everyone ordered from different spots and we met in the middle at a shared table. That's one of the best parts of this place. No negotiating menus, no compromising -- everyone gets exactly what they want and you still get to share the experience together. The food? Delicious. No notes. The vibe? Immaculate. And yes... I went down the slide. Obviously. And you should too. Do not skip it. Pro tip: have someone waiting at the bottom to capture the moment because the smile you'll have coming down that thing is 100% genuine joy! Also -- and I can't believe I'm saying this -- check out the bathrooms. I know, I know...weird Yelp detail. But trust me. Each one is uniquely themed, and the one I ended up in had animals wearing wild outfits. It was chaotic, hilarious, and somehow completely on brand for the space. Franklin Street Social isn't just a place to eat. It's a place to hang out. To explore. To people-watch. To linger. I could have easily spent hours there just soaking it all in. If you haven't been yet, make it a destination. Seriously! I'll absolutely be back -- probably with a bigger appetite and slightly less self-control next time.

Vendor & Bar Highlights: The Central Bar & Local Craft Beer: The bar at the center of the hall serves a well-curated drink menu with craft cocktails, wine, and local draft beers, including selections from neighboring Black Cap Brewing Company. Layali El Sham: Authentic Levantine & Syrian street food. The chicken shawarma wrap, falafel platters, and silky hummus bowls (especially the muhammara blend) are standouts. Franchesca's Pizza: Serving solid New York-style, hand-tossed pies by the slice or whole. The Hot Boy (pepperoni, jalapeños, hot honey, and chili crisp) and classic vodka pies are favorites. Greer's Burger Garage: Excellent smashed-style burgers served on soft Martin's potato rolls. The Garage Fries--a mix of waffle fries, tater tots, and curly fries--are a must. Taqueria El Camino: Highly recommended for their rich birria tacos served with warm consommé for dipping. Thai Street: Authentic Thai street food, with the Khao Soi (curry noodle soup) being a clear standout. Hefty Lefty's: Generous hoagies and shaved ribeye cheesesteaks on fresh rolls alongside hand-cut curly fries. Lighthouse 153: Coastal New England-style eats, including buttery lobster rolls and jumbo lump crab cakes. Hunnie's Country Chicken & Slow and Low BBQ: Hearty comfort food like crispy fried chicken baskets and custom BBQ bowls.

The other stalls offer seafood, burgers, wings, and pizza options. There's 4-6 food options today and have plenty of variety for those with specific tastes. Mixt is a GREAT social venue; it has a huge U shaped bar that easily seats 25+ guests. The weekday and Sunday all-day happy hours offer some great prices on cocktails, beer, wine, and mocktails. The bartenders are always friendly and attentive. Because the bar is so large, I've never had trouble finding a seat for my group of friends. Perhaps the best use of Mixt is as an event and meetup space; I've been to several gatherings and events here and have had a great experience every time. There is a second floor open space which is perfect for a group of 20+ folks. We've also set up impromptu events around the large bar area; there are so many seating options, it was easy to occupy 10-15 seats without monopolizing the space. Mixt also hosts some really great events; we've been for Halloween bingo and Christmas music bingo. They do a really great job of pulling the local community into their space to enjoy food, drinks, and togetherness. Parking can sometimes be tricky -- there is a small free parking garage that fits about 10 cars. If you're not part of the lucky 10, be prepared to park in the nearby neighborhood and walk a block or two. It's not the worst parking, but a larger garage would be useful. Looking forward to my next visit to Mixt!

Several stall doors were broken or wouldn't lock, and one restroom appeared to be used for storage with boxes blocking access. The downstairs area was dirty, with storage boxes stacked throughout the hallways and even a freezer sitting in a public walkway. It gave the impression that back-of-house storage had spilled into customer areas. Another concerning issue was that there was an equipment/server rack sitting wide open outside the restroom, which didn't seem appropriate or safe in a public space. One thing that surprised me was the food hall concept. While it appears to have multiple vendors, they all seem to share the same kitchen, many of the same employees, and much of the same menu. It felt less like independent food stalls and more like a single restaurant operating under different brand names, where you simply order at different windows. The overall atmosphere felt neglected. Many of the employees appeared unorganized and unsure of the ordering process, and the service reflected that. The idea has potential, but the facility needs much better upkeep and organization. Cleaner common areas, properly maintained restrooms, and a more polished operation would go a long way toward making this a place worth returning to.

In the back are ~5 food stalls and each has signs for different vendors, but in reality it didn't seem like all the vendors were still operating. It was hard to tell because all the stalls share the same menu and you order from the same place (two tablets near the front). Tonkotsu Ramen (~$16) and Scallion Pancakes with Beef (~$11). They were prepared quickly. I expected the pancakes to be twice as large for the price. They tasted fine, I liked them. The ramen was served with broth on the side and came with pork, eggs, corn, bean sprouts, and a few other bits. It was pretty good but nothing special.
