Mall of America®: Food, Flavours & Fresh Reasons to Visit

/in , , , , , /by

Mall of America® is famous for shopping and attractions, but one of its biggest surprises is the food scene. With more than 50 places to eat, visitors can enjoy everything from quick snacks and sweet treats to stylish sit-down restaurants, all under one roof.

May is a particularly good time to visit. As spring moves towards summer, the atmosphere becomes livelier, seasonal menus begin to appear and early holiday travellers arrive before the busy school break season.

 

Top Restaurants to Try

FireLake Grill House + Cocktail Bar

A polished yet relaxed restaurant known for wood-fired flavours, steaks, seafood and cocktails. Ideal for couples, friends or a more refined meal after a day of shopping.

 

Twin City Grill

A long-time favourite serving classic American comfort food, burgers and steaks. A reliable choice for lunch or dinner.

 

Cedar + Stone, Urban Table

Located at the JW Marriott, this stylish hidden gem offers farm-to-table influences, a strong drinks list and a calm setting perfect for evening dining.

 

Great for Families and Groups

Benihana

A fun dining experience with live teppanyaki cooking at the table. Always popular for celebrations and family meals.

 

Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.

Lively, casual and family-friendly, making it a strong option for larger groups.

 

Quick Stops & Sweet Treats

Cinnabon

A classic favourite for anyone needing a sweet shopping break.

 

Cantina Laredo

Often overlooked, but a great choice for quality Mexican dishes and cocktails.

 

Make a Full Day of It

Mall of America® makes it easy to combine dining with entertainment. Spend the day shopping, visit attractions such as Nickelodeon Universe® or SEA LIFE Aquarium, then finish with dinner and drinks.

 

Why Visit in May

Late spring is one of the smartest times to visit. You get the early summer energy, fresh seasonal flavours and plenty happening across the mall, but often without the peak summer crowds.

Whether planning a family getaway, a shopping trip or a stop as part of a wider Minnesota holiday, Mall of America® offers far more than retail therapy.
