An iconic mall in Brandon located east of I-75 and on Route 60 this area has transformed with the times to become an inviting place to shop and walk. Back in the early 1990’s I took my volleyball teams to the food court before heading to camp. It was a pleasure to have come back after twenty years to see the improvements.
There are a number of outdoor shopping outlets before you enter the mall. It is a bit confusing but you can go either right or left where the road splits. We always go left and to the food court. It hasn’t change, small for a large mall, but you can find Chick-fil-A and Chipotle’s. My favorite Chinese restaurant is there in Perry’s BBQ.
Your typical anchor stores are located at the Westfield/Brandon Mall with inviting entrances: Penny’s, Macy’s, Dillard’s and Sears. We actually came to the mall looking for “The Walking Store,” but none existed. There are a number of enticing stores though.
In the center of this mall is a large working carousel. It is quite unique and beautiful. There are a number of corridors that branch from here with their own unique sitting areas with aquatic figurines. There are even two playgrounds for children, one for toddlers.
The Cheesecake Factory, Bahama Breeze and other restaurants have been added since my last visit. They are located on the western side of the mall with their own dedicated parking area. We stopped at Cheesecake Factory and enjoyed a meal.
The Westfield/Brandon Mall serves the area well. We enjoyed our time and I think you will too. If you found this review “helpful” in any way, please press “LIKE” to let me know.

This mall is clean, family friendly, great options for stores. The mall staff is amazing and polite, very professional. Their mall security is amazing as well on point. There is a nice food court. Lots of parking. There’s a huge carousel in the middle for the kids. Bathrooms are clean. All the necessary stores. Highly recommended

The mall itself is nice. It has a great selection of stores and restaurants. My only issue is the terrible traffic going into and out of the mall. I don't know who designed it, or decided to place the mall in between a bunch of man-made lakes. It's a terrible spot to be in during the holiday rush.
They've added an extra access street, but that hasn't done anything to make the traffic any better. Oh, and good luck trying to make a left turn anywhere. You might as well make a right turn and drive the complete circle around the mall. I will continue to avoid this area during the holidays. I don't know why I decided to go this past Friday. The worst part was seeing the bumper to bumper traffic of cars trying to get into the mall area as we were leaving. Never again!

Lived in the area 23 years now. I used to go here a few times a week. Last three times I was there with family, twice fights broke out right in front of us. One being pretty violent. We didn't need to see that. The last time I was there, I saw a guy pull a gun on someone in the parking lot over a space. I just left and said never again. I mean, it is a mall. Something you can't enjoy anymore because of the way society has become. Traffic is also an issue now also. The area has become way too overpopulated.

Mike - On behalf of the entire Westfield Brandon management team, please accept our sincere apologies for the distressing events that you and your family were witness to at our shopping center. As a parent, I sympathize with you and agree that no one should have to see such violence at a family venue...especially children. It goes without saying that we appreciate your 23 years of being a loyal customer at Westfield Brandon and we hope to earn back your trust as we work towards improvement. Thank you for your feedback and for letting us know about your experience. Please feel free to contact me directly at: lmartin@westfield.com. Thank you - Lori

This is a BEAUTIFUL mall with ample parking and nice "anchor" stores. However, many stores have closed in this mall. That resulted in management raising the rent to cover their lost revenue. Trickle down effect meant even more stores closed because they couldn't afford their new rent. The stores remaining are nice though.

This is a big, indoor mall with a whole lot of retail stores and restaurants right at your fingertips. It was a pleasant surprise to find Chipotle and Five Guys at the food court. Too bad, there wasn't a signage outside of the mall for people to know. The only signage I saw was that of Panda Express. I love that both Macy's & Dillard's were there; normally, you just get one or the other. Apple Store was there, too. There's just something for everyone. Even free wi-fi!

Lots of walking to get to one store or another. Typical mall lots of vendors on the way to any store. Not a big fan of malls anyway but this one is better than some of the others.

The Cheesecake Factory , P.F.Changs and plenty of stores including Macy’s .. The mall is clean . Family friendly and food court is economic for families on a budget. However , I would recommend The Cheesecake Factory for a variety of drinks , food and My favorite The Chocolate Cheesecake. It’s melt in your mouth goodness and they make great drinks like raspberry martinis with fresh raspberries or a mojito with fresh mint ( for those who like a little mojo ,with their meal) yeah baby..😉💋🌱

Westfield Brandon Mall has nice stores and restaurants. So you can shop and then afterwards go to eat. It never feels too crowded so that's a good thing
