Simpsonville, SC: The Vaughn’s Food Hall Literally Has Everything You Need for a Fantastic Family Night Out

Posted on |

Vaughn’s Food Hall in Simpsonville, SC, is a fantastic food hall and entertainment venue that literally has everything you need for a really fun, family night out (or date night!). We checked it out and have all the details on how to make Vaughn’s your family’s new go-to spot. 

Located in downtown Simpsonville, SC, Vaughn’s Food Hall (previously the Warehouse at Vaughn’s) could not be more perfect. Honestly. There are multiple, delicious restaurants, a huge outdoor space with tables, a sand pit, and a big area to play ball, nightly entertainment, and an easy, laid-back vibe that is ideal for relaxing with your family. 

I’m going to go old school here and dare you to go and not want to go back the next week, and the week after that, and the week after that. It’s that good.

About Vaughn’s Food Hall 

Vaughn’s Food Hall is pretty much like the name suggests, except cooler. The food hall is inside a big warehouse and consists of multiple restaurants and bars that have nearly any type of food you’re in the mood for. 

The current restaurants at Vaughn’s Food Hall are Railside Tap Room, Dulce Heaven, The Jee-ro House, Bourbon & Barrels, Margaritas on Main, and Latin Quarter.

After dinner, head over to the Upstate Pinball Museum & Arcade and play all the games you want for just $10/person. No coins are required. You could easily spend a few hours here. 

The Outdoor Space & Entertainment at Vaughn’s 

I love a good place where you can sit outside and where there is space for kids to get their energy out before and after dinner. That’s exactly what you find at Vaughn’s. The backyard has lots of tables with umbrellas that overlook a small stage and big, grassy area. That part literally looks like a backyard. It’s awesome. 

There’s a small sand pit, soccer balls, a plastic baseball bat, and some other soft toys. My girls decided to make up a new game that combined baseball with a big, soft die that they used instead of a baseball. It was awesome, and we saw other kids pick it up after we started eating. They are obviously trendsetters.

Vaughn’s has nighttime entertainment like Music Bingo on Tuesdays, Team Trivia on Wednesdays, and live music on the weekends. For a current schedule, check the Vaughn’s Food Hall Facebook page — they usually post specials and a weekly schedule.

Ordering is the Easiest Thing Ever

Vaughn’s was recently acquired by new owners, hence the new name. One of the changes they made was the ordering system. You use your phone to scan the QR codes throughout the Food Hall and on the outdoor tables, which pull up the menus on your phone. You start a tab and then just order everything – beer, wine, appetizers, entrees – right from your phone. You can even share your tab with other people (think responsible teens or for a party) to make payment easier. 

Once you submit your order, you’ll get a text message confirming your order, and then you’ll get text messages when the different parts of your order are done. 

It’s super easy and way, way better than waiting in line at each place, especially if everyone in your family wants to eat and drink at different restaurants. Waiting in line would take forever. But you don’t have to with this new system! 

The ordering system currently works for all the restaurants within the Food Hall itself (a couple are outside but still part of the Food Hall), which include Railside Tap Room, Dulce Heaven, The Jee-ro House, Bourbon & Barrels, Margaritas on Main, and Latin Quarter.

There’s a water station if you only want water and not any special drinks. 

Kids Eat Free on Thursdays
