Citadel Mall Food Court

Honestly I'm not really sure why some commenters are hating so much on this mall. It seems like a typical average American mall. Sure there are some closed storefronts, but there are still quite a few present - name brand as well as locally owned. Take a look at my pictures I literally just took today (14 Mar 17) to browse what's there. It looked pretty clean and modern to me, but then again I've been in some pretty run-down places in my life. Not a huge fan of the second story being kind of split in two, but meh. I saw a lot of people walking in and out of stores with leashed dogs, and not service dogs. Not sure what the pet policy inside is, but I assume they let people just bring dogs in freely, so if that's not a thing you like, maybe not the best shopping location for you. I went into Spencer's where I saw some teens... and also a whole wall of sex toys. I wasn't aware things had changed so much during the mere two years I spent in Japan, but hey I guess culture progression? The food court was fairly impressive to me, with a wide variety of choices, though staff training I'm beginning to realize in this area generally is underwhelming. I had to explain to a chocolate shop worker what a sampler was. I don't think my expectations are usually too high, but common knowledge isn't that difficult to obtain, is it? In any case, I wouldn't knock this mall without checking it out yourself, and you'll only be disappointed if you're used to major city expectations. If that's the case, then enjoy the drive to Denver :)

I love this mall! It does need some work as others have stated. Working escalators is a start, a good and consistent janitorial service (soap) and antibacterial stations on all floors, especially near the food court! The best way to keep this mall alive is keep writing reviews, sending emails to the people that matter, and shopping there!Lets all do our part, Let's keep this mall alive!

It's really big and have many varieties, the only thing I have a problem is the parking lot, they need to put in a new one. That's all, the place is grand and beautiful especially the food court.

It needs more stores, but the food court has a nice water fountain and they're seemed to be quite a few families. We enjoyed ourselves.

This is a wonderful mall our whole family enjoys. It has a beautiful 2 story food court with a fountain and waterfall feature. The seating areas are surrounded with real plants that just makes the whole scenery light and inviting. There is a cute kids play area in one wing, with toy stores, candy stores, an arcade, a glow in the dark golf course, $5 animal car rides, a trampoline ride and lots of fun for kids! The mall is bustling with diversity and life and every time we go we feel grateful to be there. Like many malls after this season of the pandemic, there are some storefronts unused, but it doesn't change the inviting atmosphere you encounter once inside. When we first moved, like many people reviewing here, everyone told us to avoid this mall and go to the nicer one up north. So we did for 2 years. Once we finally visited the Citadel we were so upset people had steered us away. Without question we love this mall so much more, we haven't gone back up north since - and its been 4 years. It is much more family friendly and fun. The mall up north definitely has more resources, but they use it for adults and there is very little for kids to do. If you haven't checked out the Citadel, give it a chance. Its a great place to be.
