The basic design feature of a food court is that the mall provides a common seating area that is convenient to a large number of fast food restaurant counters at the periphery. It's not that chic, but the one at my local mall is not particularly unpleasant either. One of the big appeals of a food court is that members of a party may each get food from a separate vendor and yet everyone can still sit together at one table.




I've been with people who are shopping with children, especially
teens and tweens, and the food court is great for them for
precisely this reason: they can each get what s/he desires, and
some harmony is restored or achieved at least for the interim.
