Yankee Stadium Food – My Food Recommendation

Last updated on December 11th, 2023 at 03:43 pm

I’ve been to Yankee Stadium (the new one that opened in 2009) at least twenty times now for games. My favorite food to get is a Nathan’s hot dog, Lobel prime steak sandwiches, The Noodle Bar, and of course the Grand Slam Milkshakes. I’ve also brought my own food into Yankee Stadium, which is something not many people know you can do. In fact, you can pick up a sandwich from a deli outside the stadium and bring that in with you as I did that in 2023.

 

Below are some of the best foods and drinks at Yankee Stadium for a baseball or MLS game!

 

Best Food at Yankee Stadium – Video Spotlight

As mentioned, I’ve been to Yankee Stadium loads of time. I’ve only had the milkshake once at the stadium since the calories on it are insane, but it is worth getting one time. I also couldn’t try the 99 Burger since it ran out when I went to a game in 2023, but watch this video below to see what “The Krystal Palace” thought of it.

My Recommendation on Yankee Stadium Food

I’ve been to Yankee Stadium multiple times over the years. The best food that I have had comes from the Noodle Bar at section 127. Yankee Stadium food is very expensive, so if you are going to splurge on food, you want to get something that will fill you up. Burgers and hot dogs tend to be more expensive and don’t offer enough food for their price. When I go to a game, I try and get the noodles because it tends to be the best bang for your buck.

 

If you are going to pickup food during a Yankees game, try and get into the stadium as the gates open. The lines for food and drinks will be minimal, which means you won’t be waiting in line long to get food. Once the game starts, chances are you are going to miss an inning or more just by waiting in line for food.

 

Finally, if you go to Yankee Stadium for an NYCFC match, you will find the food lines to be very small throughout the stadium. This is one of the benefits of going to an MLS match at Yankee Stadium over baseball. The crowd attendance is roughly around 20k, but the stadium operates for 40k+. That means that the concession stand lines will be short throughout the game, meaning you can get food and drink at anytime and not wait that long.

 

Clubs at the Stadium

Yankee Stadium is also home to plenty of clubs and restaurants. Fans looking for a buffet should check out the Audi Yankees Club. Within the Audi Yankees Club, fans can load up on sushi, salad, beef, lobster, and more.

 

Two sections that don’t require a ticket to enter are the Hard Rock Cafe and NYY Steakhouse. The Hard Rock Cafe and NYY Steakhouse are at Gate 6 at Yankee Stadium, next to the train. Fans can go to both of these areas during non-game days as well.

 

Can you Bring Outside Food Into Yankee Stadium?

You can bring food from outside venues into Yankee Stadium. The official rule is that the food needs to be put into a clear plastic bag. Foods can include sandwiches, chips, candy, peanuts, and more. In addition to food, Yankee fans can also bring in unopened bottled water in a plastic bottle.

 

If you are looking for the Yankee Stadium Bag Policy, you can visit that link. Visiting that link will explain in full detail what bags are and are not allowed inside the venue.

 

Finally, be sure to visit the Yankee Stadium Parking guide to see where to park for a game.

 

Bars and Restaurants Nearby

There are plenty of bars and restaurants near Yankee Stadium to visit before or after a game. My recommendation is to go to Stan’s Sports Bar, but you really can’t go wrong with wherever you end up.

 

• Stan’s Sports Bar
• Hard Rock Cafe
• Yankee Tavern
• Billy’s Sports Bar
• Bronx Draft house
