Not the best city to try this concept


It’s not a new concept

Really didn't care for the tacos.


I went there Friday and loved the tacos, but I didn't love the price. $3.50 for something I eat in 2.5 bites is steep for someone with an appetite.

We went once. Left and went to Curbside instead.

They need to get rid of that long arse table.

It might have been a good downtown concept to get that lunch crowd.


like the Main St Market? that's been a thing for, what, 15 years now?

I think it will be fine. They are plenty packed on weekends.

Chow Yum Phat is the shite.

That taco place is pretty good as well.

this place is trying to be like the trendy food courts in Atalanta, but this is kinda pricey.

I think you might be confusing CounterSpace with MJ's right next to it..


Maybe so. then the MJ's girls were snotty. I stand corrected. Counterspace has awesome chocolate chip cookies.

You asked a vegan restaurant to make a grilled cheese. They don't have cheese or butter baw.

If I were vegan, I'd be in a perpetual bad mood too.

Yeah, I wouldn't think it to be not kid friendly..

I'm indifferent on the place. The stuffed roll at the pizza place is the best thing I've had. Really good stuff. There's a concept I'm dying to open in there (or see opened in there, but I'd be sad someone did it first)

kid friendly was probably incorrect... its just one of those places that its easier to go without your toddlers IMO.

I got a two and 9 month old... I walked in, didnt see a 4 top, and walked out. No one was sitting at the big arse table so maybe get rid of it and put more 4 tops

I hate community seating a ton, so I get the gripe. But I wonder why some here wouldn't sit at the long table if it was empty?

I get not wanting to go sit next to someone, but it being empty sounds like a good thing.. no?

Last time I went for lunch it was packed, and I sat down at the long table right next to strangers. Better than trying to stand and eat or go back to my office and let it get cold.

If you have kids, I get the issue w/ communal tables. If you don't have kids and are too scared to sit at a communal table, you might also be too scared to travel to places like New York City, or San Francisco, or Chicago.

Y'all afraid of interacting with strangers? I thought I was introverted at times.

Can't bring drinks away from the bar or if you can no one was. Long arse table would have been ok if we didn't have to sit next to a family with four kids. The cinnamon roll making lady seemed to be a bitch. Couldn't hear any name calling sitting at one end of the long table. Those oyster prices were ridiculous. We were expecting tapas size items so you could purchase from different vendors. All of the items were big entree sized and priced. Had to circle three times to find a parking spot. Was underwhelmed.

You can bring your drinks anywhere. You didn't see everyone else's food and get an idea of what size servings to expect?

I'm beginning to think earlier posters were correct - maybe this place isn't meant for BR
