Let's begin with the Anaheim Packing House, the primary place of this district. This dining hall is located in the refurbished Packard Building, a historic citrus packing factory. More than 20 artisan restaurants and stores in The Packing House have their own distinct taste and specialty. This venue constantly has something to offer, including concerts, live music, and an indoor/outdoor marketplace.

Georgia's Restaurant serves food that nourishes your spirit, as here you can enjoy comfort cuisine prepared at home, the way your grandmother did, such as fried chicken together with buttermilk and a cornmeal crust seasoned using all the spices. The Chicken and Waffles dish with syrup on top will make it perfect for brunch. It goes well with baked beans and mac & cheese at any hour of the day. Furthermore, the incredible Pulled Pork Sandwich is another must-try dish. For an authentic Georgia Restaurant experience, pair the sandwich with an additional serving of pig cheese fries.

While exploring the two-story Anaheim Packing House, there's always something new to taste. White Elephant is a recent addition to the scene, offering Thai-inspired delicacies on its contemporary menu, such as the Coconut Milk Fried Chicken and Honey Pork Belly. Western methods, family recipes, and inspirational journeys have all influenced the thoughtfully designed meals served here.

A visit to Urbana in the Anaheim Packing House will flavor your dish and add color to your day. You'll notice right away the colorful decorations, which give Anaheim a year-round festive feel. Don’t forget to try their farm-fresh Mexican dishes, such as Pork Belly Tacos and Red Snapper Ceviche, bless your palate.

Enjoy a hand-dipped gelato pop at Pop Bar to make your trip to the Anaheim Packing House even sweeter. When you choose the gelato flavor, dipping, and toppings, it's a do-it-yourself treat. You can customize your pop in any style you want, but if you're stuck with ideas, consider the Chocolate Covered Pistachio combination. You can also add a waffle pop or some frozen hot chocolate to try a perfect new blend.

We all know that cheese belongs to a separate food category. Building a customized grilled cheese sandwich at Black Sheep Grilled Cheese Bar has never been more enjoyable thanks to its abundance of available options. Try one of their masterpieces, such as the sandwich with goat cheese, roasted tomatoes, caramelized onions, and arugula pesto, or create your own queso. Accompanying it with a cup of hot, creamy tomato soup is a perfect option to go with.

The Blind Rabbit, a distinctive speakeasy on the lower floor, is a favorite among everyone. What makes it unique is its 1920s bar ambiance, which is combined with amazing American food and handcrafted cocktails that never fail to amaze you.

For a delicious hot pot, look no further than Rolling Boil, which has an all-you-can-eat choice. This eatery is next to Blind Rabbit and Urbana on the ground floor, serving various soup broths, spiced-up concoctions, Ghost Pepper extract drops, and dipping sauces.
