Django Western Taco serves Mexican food with an American flair, led by tortillas made with Ohio corn, jackfruit carnitas and jerk chicken quesadillas, as well as handcrafted margaritas, breakfast and weekend brunch.

A Cincinnati favorite, Eli’s BBQ makes hickory-smoked pork sandwiches topped with homemade barbecue sauce plus ribs, smoked turkey and sides like jalapeno cheddar grits and mac & cheese.

The second location of Kitchen 1883 Café and Bar, Kroger’s American restaurant concept, serves flatiron steak panini, Brussels sprouts salad and coconut milk smoothies. There’s also a full-service bar offering cocktails, local beer, wine and Kentucky bourbon.

“The food hall is an example of the types of concepts and ideas we’re creating every day,” said Teri Rose, Kroger’s senior director of culinary development for Kroger.

Indoor and outdoor seating can accommodate up to 200 customers.

The store caters to downtown workers and residents, as well as customers from the city’s Over-the-Rhine and West End neighborhoods.

A popular local food truck, Queen City Whip has its first brick-and-mortar site at the hall, serving made-to-order burgers, chili dogs and milkshakes.

DOPE! Asian Street Fare offers ramen, dumplings, bao buns and dishes inspired by street food across Asia, plus Vietnamese iced coffee and global libations.

Kroger said the new urban store will offer grocery delivery, and it plans to add delivery service for the restaurants.
