City Foundry St. Louis climbs to #3 in America’s top 10 food halls, drawing food lovers and locals alike.

City Foundry Phase 2

Now, as we watch Phase 2, of the City Foundry $300 million dollars redevelopment takes shape, image above, which includes a multi-leveled car garage, a wooden office building and high rise apartments. The food hall is receiving long awaited accolades of its own.

The results are in, and I am very certained that the votes indeed mattered. 10 great locations made the Top 10 Best Food Halls in the United States. According to a poll put on by USA Today, the readers voted for the best Food Hall in many familiar and surprising destinations.

And I must say, it was truly a surprise to some voters, because some showed dismay to their favorite eatery being placed some lowly within the process. I was excited to see one of my favorites crack the Top 3, yet with all the buzz surrounding it, I’d figured it would top off at #1.

Nonetheless, as the saying goes, you can’t win if you don’t vote. As a result here are USA Today’s top 10 Food Halls.

These 10 food halls have been voted as the best in the U.S. by our readers because of their fantastic selections of eateries and their positive contributions to their communities.
