Forget settling for peanuts and a bland, not-so hot dog. Stadium food has leveled up in recent years, and Yelp just dropped its list of the Top 50 Stadiums for Game-Day Eats—a delicious lineup proving that ballparks and football stadiums can be as much about the food as the action on the field.
Featuring everything from buttery lobster rolls at Fenway to tri-tip nachos in San Diego, today’s stadiums are starting to resemble food halls, with celebrity chef collabs, regional specialties and global flavors. Yelp combed reviews on the platform to spotlight the stadiums where fans are enjoying the best bites between innings and touchdowns, and the results are enough to make you want to head to the game whether your team is playing or not.

At number one is Oracle Park in San Francisco. Set against the Bay, it’s a feast for both views and taste buds. The Dungeness crab sandwich from Crazy Crab’z is legendary, while David Chang’s spicy Fuku chicken and the ballpark’s famous Gilroy Garlic Fries mean consistently long lines. Add in Ghirardelli sundaes and the option to order straight to your seat via Uber Eats, games here are a gastronomic delight.
Coming in second is PNC Park in Pittsburgh, where local pride rules the menu. The Primanti Bros. sandwich stacked with coleslaw is iconic, but the new Polish Cannonballs—deep-fried spheres stuffed with noodles, kielbasa and cheddar—are stealing the spotlight.
Baltimore’s Oriole Park grabs the third spot with serious Chesapeake flavor: crab cakes that rival the Inner Harbor’s, the indulgent Chessie sausage drenched in crab dip and a cheeseburger worthy of its historic setting.
At Lambeau Field in Green Bay, it’s all about Wisconsin classics—brats on the grill, hot cheese curds, frosty local beer and frozen custard for dessert. Game-day eats don’t get more Midwest.
Rounding out the top five is Boston’s Fenway Park. Yes, the Fenway Frank is a must, but Yelpers rave about the fresh lobster rolls, clam chowder and Italian sausages. Finish it off with Boston Cream Pie while the crowd belts Sweet Caroline.
Yelp's list proves that stadium food is no longer a necessary afterthought, it’s part of the game. Find the full list here.
