What Do You Think About the Food Court at the Paragon Outlets?

Are you happy with the food selection at the outlets or do you want to see something different?

The Paragon Outlets offers dozens of retail stores but not a ton of food options.

But, for what is offered at the Food Court, what do you think?

Currently there is a Subway, China Max, Chicke Now, Japan Cafe, Villa Italian Kitchen and Green Leaf's.

Would you like more food options while shopping? Would you like to see something different at the Food Court? Happy with the way it is? Tell us in the comments section.

I know the reason they brought in these types of food vendors was to tempt people to go to off site local restasurants for healthier fare. They are typical mall food choices. Since the mall is higher end, I could wish for higher end food so if we end up spending extra time shopping, we don't have to drive off site to eat and come back but thats just wishful thinking.

"There's lots of stores?" Holy crap, please edit your pieces before you publish. Having a grammatical error in the first sentence kind of ruins the whole story, don't you think? You might as well have finished off with "I seen it with my own eyes."

Bret, I agree with your comment regarding grammatical errors. To paraphrase Bon Jovi, "...you give Livermore a BAD name."

Didn't Patch report (Dec 8) that the Paragon Outlets name was changed to Livermore Premium Outlets? Also, aren't there more newsworthy subjects than this?

Which one of these is actually a front for meth, especially "The Blue"?
I didn't see any sign for Los Pollos Hermanos or any other brand from Madrigal Electric Motors' restaurant division.

Give up on these pointless surveys, they are bringing the Patch down. This is a good way to turn readers away.
Pleasanton Mom February 5, 2013 at 01:40 pm
Lame. I'm pretty sure the outlet owners don't care what patch readers think.
And please do work on the grammar thing. I shouldn't have to warn my kids to ignore the grammar on a local web site or to avoid it completely. Most of us care about our children's writing skills.

The entire outlet is a joke !
You will soon see offices in place of the store's. I've spoken to store employee's and they don't see this lasting. The upside is we got a new offramp.

maybe hot dog on a stick?...the food court pretty much reflects the people i see shopping there.

Public education raises it's ugly head . . . again.
Professional writers are destroying the English language. Being 'politically correct' seems more important than being grammatically correct. Thanks, Bret, for your astute observation. "I seen it with my own eyes." LOL Who's eyes could have been used? " . . . with my own eyes, a crackup."
Robert Dealy February 5, 2013 at 03:58 pm
Grammar?
Being destroyed by professional writers.

PF Changs matches Bloomingdales not wetzel's pretzels.

Are you nuts?
I was at the outlets on Saturday. There wasn't a store in the complex that didn't have a line at their checkout, and almost everyone I walked past had a bag from at least one of the stores. The planned expansion is already 50% leased. Those outlets will be there for years to come.
Retail Watchdog February 5, 2013 at 07:52 pm
As long as the restaurants are doing well, I see no problems. Outlet malls aren't known for haute cuisine, look at the Great Mall's food court.
Paul February 5, 2013 at 08:42 pm
With a name like (Retail Watchdog), I expect you do feel that way !!
Retail Watchdog February 5, 2013 at 09:15 pm
Uh, okay?
Quoth the raven.... February 5, 2013 at 09:49 pm
food court is lame...have you seen the Carlsbad Outlet complex???? NICE!!!!
Unclehomerr.. February 5, 2013 at 11:32 pm
No sticks, please! That's [disgusting] Fair food. A 'good' hotdog would bring people to the outlets.. There aren't any good hot dogs in CA except for Top Dog in Berkeley and Pinks in LA.
Ari Soglin (Editor) February 6, 2013 at 05:04 pm
@Quoth, what is it about the Carlsbad complex that you like?
Quoth the raven.... February 9, 2013 at 01:22 am
Nice mix of High end outlet stores...and a mix of sit down restaurants and fast food and snack places...If I have I have made a special trip to shop at an Outlet center I don't want to leave, drive some other place to eat ..I probably would not return to shop at the Outlet center ...just head home.

They are beautiful and you described them so well! I hope that someone steps forward quickly! (IRead More have my quota of cats already.)
TrueRealist June 12, 2013 at 06:35 pm
It isn't up to the gov. to help raise your kids. The stork didn't drop the kid off unexpectedly. IfRead More you can't afford kids then don't have them.
barbieann June 13, 2013 at 08:39 am
Wow, so quick to jump to conclusions and judge. Maybe T.G. BUYS the child's lunch. Every schoolRead More sells hot lunch every day. At the majority of our schools, more lunches are bought than given for free.
DeAnna Senft McDaid June 13, 2013 at 12:43 pm
The schools give us 2 options as parents. 1. Buying lunches on campus or 2. Send them with a lunch.Read More Clearly the author of this chose number 1 and the school was OUT leaving the child with NO 3rd option. Shame on that school.
Jason Morgan June 9, 2013 at 09:33 pm
A great issue! However, the rodeo is nothing but animal cruelty wrapped up as "tradition"Read More and "entertainment". Why would the animal's welfare become a concern now? Rodeo performers have been documented beating, kicking, and shocking normally docile cows and horses in chutes and holding pens. "Bucking broncos" and steers are provoked with electric prods, sharp sticks, caustic ointments, and the pinching "bucking" strap, which is what really makes them jump, they are not "wild" and "dangerous" . The cowboys earn points by spurring the bucking horse. I have seen them up close and many are bleeding. Calves, roped when running, have their necks snapped back by the lasso, often resulting in neck and back injuries, bruises, broken bones, and internal bleeding. After their short and painful "careers," animals in rodeos are sent to the slaughterhouse. Dr. C.G. Haber, a veterinarian who spent 30 years as a federal meat inspector, describes the animals discarded from rodeos for slaughter as being "so extensively bruised that the only areas in which the skin was attached [to the flesh] was the head, neck, leg, and belly. I have seen animals with six to eight ribs broken from the spine and, at times, puncturing the lungs. I have seen as much as 2 to 3 gallons of free blood accumulated under the detached skin." Every national animal protection organization opposes rodeos because of their inherent cruelty. Don't feel bad everyone, I used to love the rodeo too. Before I knew better...
Bonbrwneyes June 10, 2013 at 09:13 pm
Something to consider and not pushing it aside because I feel its unimportant, but what I'd love toRead More have access to is how the riders that were hurt are doing today. Two bull riders got gored, one in the back and he was down and out for a bit and then obviously not "okay" as he stumbled out of the arena and then another that got his leg hurt and he couldn't get himself over the gate on his own. Left saturday's Rodeo hoping they were okay and would love follow up if at all possible. Thanks!
Danielle Nabozny June 8, 2013 at 03:00 pm
Thank you! That is what we want to know too. We have had more power outages this week than in theRead More 20+ years total that we have lived in this house!
Lynn June 8, 2013 at 07:03 pm
It would be nice to know, indeed. When my husband called to report the outage the recording saidRead More there were no outages in our area, which was clearly incorrect.
AT June 9, 2013 at 06:00 pm
I got the same thing, no outages when I called. I requested to be contacted by PG&E to explainRead More the problem. No call for that but I did get a "survey" call about their automated system. We have also lived here for 20+ years and never had this many outages.
Kari Hulac (Editor) June 8, 2013 at 12:48 pm
Great photos, Kathie..was the horse being evacuated?
Kathie Seymour-Sindicic June 8, 2013 at 12:54 pm
Thank you!! Yes this lady was evacuating this horse. It was the only one a saw be evacuated.
