A food court is a type of indoor plaza contiguous with the counters of multiple food vendors and providing a common area for self-serve dining. In the United States, food courts became popular in the 1980s in shopping malls and airports. Food courts are sometimes found in other tourist areas, such as Quincy Market in downtown Boston, a historic market that has been entirely converted to a indoor food court.
Food courts usually (but not always) consist of several small counters of fast food outlets, sometimes with more upscale restaurants may be located nearby. Some current U.S. fast food chains consist entirely or primarily of food court outlets (notably Chic-fil-a and Cinnabon) but food courts may also contain outlets of more conventional fast-food outlets such as Burger King.
At a typical food court, patrons order their meals at one of the many counters, then carry the meal to the common dining area on a standardized tray.
The common dining area is located in area with a vaulted ceiling or skylights in order to provide a roomier atmosphere with better illumination.
