Ordering Made Easy at The Little Grand Market
A complete, updated guide for 2025
The Little Grand Market was built around one idea: make it easy for guests to explore incredible food, enjoy craft drinks, and feel part of a vibrant community. Whether you’ve visited us since our Grand Opening Weekend or you’re planning your first trip, this guide walks you through how to order at the market and what’s new for 2025.
Our chef partners, bar team, and community events create the energy you read about in our seasonal stories, from Valentine’s Weekend to Fall Fest. Ordering should feel just as seamless—and now it does.
Here’s everything you need to know about getting food and drinks at The Little Grand Market.

New for 2025: You Can Now Add Bar Drinks to Unified Orders
This is our biggest ordering update since opening:
You can now order bar drinks and food from any chef partner in a single checkout.
This makes it easier to enjoy market-wide offerings, including dishes from Lan Viet, Los Agaves, Frascati Market, Just Chicken, For the Love of Dough, and our newest arrival, Preston’s Burgers.

Here’s how bar ordering works.
Where to Pick Up Your Drinks
Once the bar team finishes your drink, you’ll receive a text.
Pick up your order at the drink station to the right of the bar near POS 2. Look for the “Pick Up Here” signage and black bar mats designating the pickup area.
If you’re visiting during a market-wide event like our 1st Birthday Celebration, this process keeps everything moving smoothly.
Tipping Through Mobile Checkout
Tipping is included at checkout—just choose your preferred amount, and your bartender receives it instantly. It’s a simple way to support the team creating your cocktails, wine pours, and beer buckets.
Why We Expanded Ordering to Include the Bar
Guests asked. We listened.
Digital bar ordering reduces lines, speeds up service, and lets you enjoy the market without leaving your seat. It’s especially useful on busy nights and game days when we welcome crowds gathered for experiences like our Ohio State Football Watch Parties.
This update is part of our commitment to improving the guest experience—something we explore in detail in How We Built The Little Grand.
Showing ID
If you order alcoholic beverages, simply show a valid ID at the drink pickup station. This maintains a safe, responsible environment for everyone.
Can You Customize Drinks?
The online menu includes all printed cocktails, wines, beers, and buckets.
If you want a custom classic or a spirit swap, just walk up to the bar and chat with our team—they’re always happy to make something special.
Do You Need an App?
No app needed.
Just scan the QR code and order from your browser. Returning guests will find ordering even faster, since your info is saved.
What to Order: Food and Drink Pairings
Now that bar ordering is part of the unified system, you can explore pairings designed to elevate your time at the market. Here are some favorites.
