Awesome food hall, that offers lots of seating, good choice of about 6 different restaurants. And a bonus of some new but retro style pinball machines. You order food by scanning a qr code on your table. And you can order from multiple different places at once. Seating upstairs and downstairs. Food was quick. Would definitely visit again to try some different things.

I recently photographed a networking event hosted at Lawrence Hall and was blown away by the space. The staff was courteous, the food was fantastic, but mostly the atmosphere was great. It was spacious yet maintained a feeling of intimacy. Lawrence Hall is a great place to host your next event!

We got a few things from different restaurants. The atmosphere was great. 2 levels of seating with the added bonus of pinball machines. Great bar selection & ALL of the food we got was delicious. Definitely looking forward to going back to try more food options.

Visited with my wife and mother-in-law because I want a place with a lot of options. They have four restaurants in one location and they all looked fantastic. We have the Veggie Burger at LOADED and soup at Toma. Both were fantastic. I hope to stop by again when I am in the area.

We have tried a few of the restaurants at Lawrence Hall and I keep coming back for more. We recently brought our family who was visiting from Croatia and they were in love with Toma & Loaded. The corn dogs and smash burgers were a hit and the sun dried tomato and artichoke dip was a fan favorite. The food always comes out hot and is quite delicious! The crunchy chicken paired with the homemade Caesar from Toma with a Diet Coke, it was dreamy!

Love this concept! We went a few weeks after opening and had such a great experience we went back again a few days later. Pick any table you want, scan the QR and order from any of the restaurants on your phone. Our food came out quickly and the food is brought straight to your table! We loved getting to try things from each place. The chicken sandwiches and fries as well as the corn dog from Loaded were amazing, loved the unique salsa with chips from La Palapa, hot honey pizza from Toma was some of the best we’ve had, and the Buffalo roll & sweet potato cornbread from Cuddy’s was great. This place is new so I’m sure they are still working out kinks, but we’ve had great experiences both times we went!

Had turkey ribs (?!) With collars greens and blackeyed peas that were AMAZING, along with a dirty pickle martini (cause it's Pittsburgh!). Soooo good! Highly recommended.

1st time here. Sat at the bar. Great service! Was with 2 other people so we ordered a lot and shared! Favorites were the bang bang corn dog, salad, smash burger, chorizo cheese dip, chicken tenders, Mac n cheese and fries! They were out of the elite fries and corn dog out we would've tried that too! I would pass on the empanada and arrancini next time.
