I had previously listed restaurants located in the dining hall AKA food court of Park Meadows Mall. The following restaurants are located at Park Meadows Mall but are not in the dining hall AKA food court. Some of them are inside the mall, the others are located in the parking lot surrounding the mall.
For more info on the restaurants go to the mall’s restaurant site: http://parkmeadows.com/html/mallattractions.asp
Restaurants located inside the mall:
The Cheesecake Factory http://www.thecheesecakefactory.com/
200 menu selections including Appetizers, Pizza, Pasta, Seafood, Steaks, Salads, Sandwiches, and more. Our menu also features specialty dishes like Chicken Madeira, Miso Salmon, Cajun Jambalaya Pasta, and The Factory Burger.
California Café http://californiacafe.com/littleton/menus/index.php
This is one of my favorite restaurants. They have a great menu that caters to many tastes and appetites. I usually order from their small-plates selections. They are a fine size for a meal, but sometimes I’ll add a cup of soup or a salad. You can get a great meal there for around $15, and if someone wants a larger meat-and-potatoes portion (NY strip, ½ chicken), that’s available too for a slightly higher price. A burger is $11.75. **Gluten Free Menu
Grand Lux Cafe (Adjacent to Dining Hall but it has an outside entrance.) http://www.grandluxcafe.com/
Grand Lux Cafe’s eclectic menu offers extraordinary variety and selection, with flavor profiles ranging from Thai, Malaysian and Caribbean, to classic American and European specialties.
