The Best Food Hall Websites of 2024
A roundup of food halls creating online presences to improve efficiency, build brand loyalty, and increase profits.
Food halls were all the rage pre-pandemic, and they’re making a comeback. Lucrative concepts know that a strong online presence is pivotal these days. A digital destination that centralizes menu information, hours and online ordering for all vendors is key.
The ability to sell event tickets, merchandise and digital gift cards adds even more value, and food halls need to keep up to stay competitive in a market that’s expected to grow $71.69 billion by 2026.
Learn how these food hall websites are positioning themselves for success.

Bell Market
Holmdel, NJ | bellmarketnj.com
A gathering place for food lovers in Central New Jersey, Bell Market is home to five restaurants. Detailed menus for the handful of concepts are easy to find on their website and navigate to from a simple “Menus” dropdown.
The video hero on their homepage gives online visitors a sense of what visiting in person is like with a walkthrough of the space and up-close shots of both the food and vendors. Bell Market is also making use of BentoBox’s event management software to support their private events offerings.
Chomp Food Hall
Santa Fe, NM | chompsantafe.com
Chomp Food Hall offers a diverse dining experience in Santa Fe. Current vendors include a wine bar, an artisanal wood fired pizzeria, juice bar, teahouse, Cambodian pop-up, Italian marketplace and a stall serving Indian food with a New Mexican twist.
The squished orange “o” in Chomp’s logo finds its way around the website in the browser’s favicon, around CTA buttons like “Food & Shopping” and “Events,” and around both vendor call-outs and section headers on the homepage.
There’s also an orange underline that appears in the top navigation when you hover over a new page and becomes sticky when you select that page. Overall, the website’s aesthetic is bright and bold.
Finn Hall
Houston, TX | finnhallhou.com
Houston’s hotspot for food explorers first opened back in 2018 and went through some pivots during the pandemic. Finn Hall is back, and the 20,000-square-foot location is welcoming four new stalls. A dynamic building requires a dynamic website to support its changes, and luckily BentoBox offers the flexibility to meet that need.
The eight concepts in the space range sell a variety of food and drink including coffee, cocktails, burgers and tacos, and they each have an easy-to-edit menu on the website. The website also features gorgeous drink and food photography.

In the footer, you can navigate to the “Press” page to see Grange’s media coverage from Thrillist to Denver Business Journal to Eater Denver.

Graze Provisions + Libations
Minneapolis, MN | grazenorthloop.com
Graze Provisions + Libations highlights all of their vendors on the food hall’s homepage with each vendor getting a dedicated webpage as well. This is a great SEO tactic because it ensures that each vendor page is keyword optimized with a unique URL slug for better searchability.
Job descriptions are posted on the “Careers” page with an application form embedded at the bottom. There’s also a detailed “Private Events” page with a robust FAQ section, images of the space, capacity limits, the current catering menu, and an integrated inquiry form.
Kuhio Avenue Food Hall
Honolulu, HI | kuhioavenuefoodhall.com
Hawaii is known for its amazing food, and Kuhio Avenue Food Hall highlights Waikiki’s best with 10 concepts and three bars. Their website makes use of complementary colors — navy blue and bright orange — and features high-res food photos front and center.
On the top navigation, it’s easy to find the catering inquiry form and private events inquiry form. And for guests who want to place orders in real time, there is online ordering capability on the Kuhio Avenue Food Hall site.
Milepost Zero
Denver, CO | milepostzero.com
In Fall 2021, Milepost Zero opened in Denver’s Ballpark neighborhood. The seven food stalls each have their own page on the website with three sections: About Us, Hours and Menu. The homepage includes an Instagram embed, which brings their social media channel directly onto their website and creates more cohesive branding.
In the footer of the website, there’s an opportunity to sign up for email updates. Milepost Zero can use email lists to share special offers, announce new menu items, market upcoming events and promote media coverage.

Charlotte, NC | trolleybarnclt.com
