Developers are devoting more square footage to restaurants and bars in the hopes that diners will shop after dinner.

Malls are supplementing food court mainstays with more upscale, full-service restaurants.

Some large national chains, like the Cheesecake Factory , Chick -fil-A and Panda Express , are still winning over customers.

The Cheesecake Factory was ranked number one in Yelp 's mall brand report.
