Cabarrus County is home to two food halls serving up local flavor

In Concord, Gibson Mill Market is situated in a former textile mill as part of a dining and entertainment campus that aims to preserve the location’s locally made legacy. Along with good eats, this community gathering hub offers outdoor seating, a Kid’s Zone and special events such as live music.

In Kannapolis, the walls of The Bank Food Hall feature tales of infamous bank robbers as a nod to their location inside the historic Cabarrus Bank building. Stop in for lunch while exploring downtown, grab a bite before the baseball game, or have a cocktail after taking in a performance at The Swanee Theatre.

Choose from Neapolitan pizza, Mexican and Thai cuisine, specialty coffee, award-winning burgers and barbecue, a full bar and more. Head downstairs to visit a local craft brewery and board game café.

Diners have plenty of options here including Asian dishes and sushi, pizza, smoothies and bowls, salads, cheesesteaks, wraps, burgers and more. Plus, grab a drink from the Bank Robber’s Bar.

ON THE MENU

After enjoying a meal, stretch your legs inside The Depot at Gibson Mill. This massive antique mall offers aisle after aisle of vintage treasures and The Depot Deli is onsite should hunger strike again. Indoor axe-throwing, a classic car showroom, and another craft brewery are also within walking distance.

Be sure to play the Game Show Arena Live upstairs, then stroll down West Avenue to find even more entertainment including the Kannapolis Cannon Ballers minor league baseball stadium, slot car racing, duckpin bowling, arcade games and karaoke, boutiques, two historic theatres, a brewery, cidery, and so much more.
