Yankee Stadium Food 2025: Restaurants + Tips

Nothing says “you’ve arrived” like watching baseball from inside the fancy restaurant.

Yankee Stadium Food Means Baseball and Restaurants!

The Yankees have three sit-down eateries attached to the ballpark, one of which includes a view of the game. So here we go:

Yankee Stadium Restaurant #1: The Audi Yankees Club. The Audi Yankees Club is the restaurant in the upper level in left field. It used to be a members only place, but single tickets are available to fans at a price, discounted with a MasterCard, and on occasion you might find a deal with a third party ticket, like from a season ticket holder. (I’ve done this, because I’m really good at ballparking, but the food is still extra.)

The food buffet is Legends chef-prepared stuff like filet mignon, lobster, sushi, salads, etc. The beef is Lobel’s, which you’ll soon learn equals very high quality.

Bondi Sushi is new in 2025; currently it’s only available in the Audi Club but that may change if it becomes more popular. Bondi is a local gem, with multiple locations in Manhattan.

Their full sushi station in the Audi Club features Nigiri, hot and crispy hand rolls, sashimi and crispy rice. They’re all winners. And if you live near a Bondi, you can have more of it delivered to you.

The Yankees do offer some deals on the Audi club, like discounted game day tickets for games against lesser opponents and group outing specials through the Yankees’ e-mail newsletter.

OK, I know it’s not a food photo, but this is probably the coolest reason to visit the Hard Rock Yankee Stadium.

Yankee Stadium Restaurant #2: The Hard Rock Café.The Hard Rock Yankee Stadium is at Gate 6, visible almost immediately after exiting the train station. It’s a typical if smaller Hard Rock with slightly higher prices, except that the stars in the photographs are wearing Yankees gear which is pretty cool.

In case you didn’t know, Hard Rock is known for their Legendary® burger (true, they registered that term), which just on its own features smoked bacon, cheddar, and an onion ring.

If burgers aren’t your thing – wait, what? Am I even asking that? Choose from sandwiches made from chicken or pulled pork, entrees like steak or ribs, and of course, fancy drinks It’s also a good spot for healthy eaters, with grilled chicken salads and noodle bowls and such.

Tightwad Tip! One cool thing about the Hard Rock is that they serve beer and drinks after the 7th inning, at reduced prices or at least much cheaper than inside the ballpark.

Yankee Stadium Restaurant #3: NYY Steak.The NYY Steakhouse, just above the Hard Rock, is a Manhattan-style upscale steakhouse, which is saying a lot. They carry high-end USDA prime steaks, seafood, and fine wines. The Steakhouse is also open all year, but you need a ticket on game days. It’s not always packed, but it’s a good idea to get reservations in advance.

You can view the menu here, but just so you know, your steak choices include a 32 oz. NYY Longbone (!), an 14 oz New York Strip, 20 oz. Delmonico Ribeye and a 8 oz. Filet Mignon. Wash it down with Yankee-themed drinks like the Bronx Bomber or the Yankeetini.

The food and service are excellent here by most accounts. The portions are large enough to help you leave satisfied. It isn’t quite bargain dining, but it’s actually surprisingly reasonable for a New York steakhouse, especially inside a ballpark. You can get a sandwich here at a fairly nice price for lunch.

A NYY Steak Express is located on the Main Level near the big Food Court, and you can get a quality steak sandwich there, a bowl of wings, or the popular steak-covered fries with au jus and onions. File that one away, you may need it.

Yankee Stadium Burgers: Bobby’s Burgers, Johnny Rockets, and Sliders

In case the Hard Rock burger doesn’t work for you, you’ve got other burger choices inside the Stadium.

The Yankees recently brought in Bobby’s Burgers, from (Iron Chef connection coming) chef Bobby Flay, who as you probably know gained fame on the Food Network in various forms.

Stadium offerings include a Crunchburger with potato chips on it, the Palace Classic burger with American cheese, lettuce, tomato, and pickles, and the aptly named Bobby’s Blue + Bacon with bleu cheese and bacon piled on.

Most all of Bobby’s Burgers include “Bobby’s Sauce”, which I’m told is a mixture of mayo, roasted red pepper puree, and adobo sauce.

Bobby’s stand also has fries and milkshakes, which could make your milkshake decision tougher here. (More about that in a bit.)

Small sample sizes. The actual 99 Burger, like Aaron Judge, is larger than most.

Did I mention the 99 Burger? I was getting to it. The 99 Burger is another of the Legends Hospitality chefs’ creations. It’s two quarter pound Wagyu patties with American cheese (yellow), caramelized onions, and secret sauce on a brioche bun with dill pickles. Think of it as a glorified double quarter pounder, but with better beef.

The Yankees used to limit the number of 99 Burgers they sold during games; lucky for you, that’s no longer the case. Look for it at Section 107.

If Bobby’s or the 99 don’t work for you, Lobel’s steak stands offer up a meatloaf burger. But let’s talk about Lobel’s separately.

When you call it a “Sando” someone born in this millennium will eat it.

Yankee Stadium Food Includes Sandwiches!

There are at least five noteworthy stands here for sandwiches. It is New York, after all. Settle back, this’ll take a bit.

And yes, they can make a mean pastrami.

Lobel’s. Darn right Lobel’s. This is one of my go-tos at Yankee Stadium, and it’s always worth the wait in line.

Lobel’s is a long-established (175 years!) purveyor of fine meats in the Upper East Side of Manhattan, a location where you better be good at it if you’re gonna serve beef. They even have a carving station in Yankee Stadium, which usually has a line.

At the Stadium you can get their signature steak sandwich, steak-topped fries, a meatloaf burger, BBQ filet tip loaded tater tots (pause for a second and ponder how much better baseball is today), and their roast pork and broccoli rabe sandwich.

In 2025 Lobel’s introduced the Prime Pastrami sandwich, with Mike’s Amazing deli mustard and rye bread. (It tastes very much like a hot dog.)

“Get me something with a lot of ingredients.”

Mighty Quinn’s, the BBQ joint in Yankee Stadium got their start in NYC and are now international. The chef at Mighty Quinn’s, Hugh Mangum, put together a recipe that is a meld of several different styles of BBQ, including that “smoke it for a really long time” bit.

Here you can find beef and pulled pork brisket, chipotle BBQ chicken sandwiches, and slow-smoked chicken wings with chili lime sauce. Or a rice bowl with burnt ends in it.

In 2025 the Mighty Quinn folks added a loaded baked potato, with chipotle sour cream, shredded cheddar, and scallions, topped with pulled pork brisket. That’s got to cover the food groups.

King’s Hawaiian is a bread company that started in Hilo; today they’re known for buttery-flavored and soft sweet bread for sandwiches and desserts. The bread is available in stores (and even at the Stadium, from what I’m reading).

They’re down to one sandwich now, presumably to get it just right. It’s a crispy chicken sandwich with maple chipotle sauce. They used to have some creative nachos here, but I think they’re gone now. Nuts.

You can get other sandwiches around the ballpark with King’s Hawaiian rolls, incidentally.

The Highlanders stands serve up typical ballpark fare but in a throwback style; vendors wear the uniforms bearing the name of the New York team before they were the Yankees, and serve hot dogs and Premio sausages. (Premio is Italian for “prize”, and I suppose that could apply to a ballpark sausage. It’s definitely something you earn.)

If you’re one of those types that loves a hot dog with unusual toppings at the game, the Yankees handed that task to the Streetbird people. They’ve stepped up with the “Birddog”, a footlong dog on a toasted bun topped with M’s Kickin’ Tenders, garlic aioli, pickles and Streetbird cheese sauce.

Finally, the Yanks look out for their Orthodox fans too. Hebrew National kosher hot dogs are available at some NY Grills and at Highlanders, and there is a Glatt Kosher stand in the Great Hall.

We interrupt this post for an important announcement:
Bacon On A Stick! Everyone remain calm!

They let me go behind the counter to take this photo. They get it.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled Yankee Stadium food post.

This fan is clearly disappointed enough to go elsewhere.

Um, This Is New York City Too, Any Pizza?

In a city with hundreds of classic pizza shops, and in a Stadium a train ride away from Lombardi’s, the Yankees don’t appear to have any pizza listed on their menu. You have to go to one of the clubs for it. I’ll correct this if I hear differently.

(Puzzled, lengthy pause.)

Anyway, to cheer you up, I included a picture of Justin’s Pizza joint a short walk up the street. It gets okay reviews if you’re having a pizza jones.

The portability factor is key, but hot sauce puts it over the top.

But We Do Have Gyros + Burritos at Yankee Stadium! (I feel better.)

Gyros are a seriously underrated ballpark food. They’re easy to carry, reasonably healthier than most menu items, and they taste pretty good most times, especially in New York City. Maybe it’s the water after all.

The Yankees recognized this and added The Halal Guys, an obvious choice, with offerings in the Great Hall and on the upper level.

The Halal Guys have been serving up gyros and other great NYC street food since 1990, and they’re emblematic of the first class food truck culture here. In the Stadium they serve beef and chicken gyros, served on platters with lettuce, rice, tomatoes and pita bread.

Finally having authentic NYC gyros at the Stadium can save you the hassle of patronizing numerous food carts outside of the Stadium.

Your ballgame experience is complete.

I love when ethnicities mix to create a new and better food item, especially in an environment as American as baseball. The Benihana stand has been serving hibachi steak, chicken and shrimp made on the grill, which you would expect. But they took a leap for true diversity and brought up sushi burritos.

Benihana’s now has sushi burritos in the form of tuna or salmon, mixed with (deep breath) avocado, cucumber, lettuce, chopped jalapenos and cilantro; topped with chili mayo and rolled into a burrito; all served with a side of chili mayo.

All you need for your meat and potatoes fix.

Let’s Talk About Fries.

The Yankees are getting as fries-thick as their neighbors across town, and you have some superb choices here.

Sparing New Yorkers the trip to Philly.

Chickie’s and Pete’s crab fries, like Fuku, are popular enough to transcend regional status. The crab fries are a Philly institution, but you can get them at the Stadium without the trip.

The crab fries are thin crinkle-cut fries covered with an Old Bay style seasoning. For a small fee you can get a cup of dipping cheese sauce. The sauce is like American cheese with ranch dressing if you asked me to describe it.

They’re highly addictive, but get something to drink with them.

Baseball just keeps getting better.

The aptly named Garlic Fries at Sections 108 and 331 are said to be so overpowering that people sitting in nearby sections can smell them. Garlic fries typically are a west coast delicacy, but here a handful of garlic, basil and oil are dumped onto the fries. Sounds lazy, but sometimes lazy works.

They’re great, but I wouldn’t recommend them if you’re trying to impress a date. Unless you’re sharing, in which case definitely order them. You can add cheese to your fries if you want.

Just make sure you wash the helmet before you wear it.

Then there’s Nathan’s, whose fries could be easily taken for granted and never should. Thick, crinkle-cut fries with the Coney Island feel. As you see, you can get them in a souvenir helmet with cheese if you want.

There are Lobel’s outlets in the park selling steak-topped fries, for you meat-and-potatoes guys. See what I said earlier about Lobel’s and their high quality beef.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Believe it or not, there are multiple places to get your sweet potato fries on; Bobby’s Burgers offers them up with honey mustard horseradish sauce, and there’s a couple of stands around the Field Level where you can find them. The sweet potato fries are vegan even.

Admit It, You’re The Munchies!

Some ballpark food is just there to be eaten as the game goes along, preferably with your hands. Yankee Stadium’s got you.

The Brooklyn Dumpling Shop is new in 2025. The aptly named eatery got its start with the idea that all popular foods should be dumplings. I can’t really argue with that. So their offerings at Yankee Stadium are Buffalo chicken, Kung Pao chicken, and Wagyu beef, all with their own dipping sauces.

If you decide you really like dumplings after trying them, you can visit any of their locations in a wide-ranging radius for even more flavors.

Were you thinking of putting these on your hot dog? Well, maybe you should.

Streetbird, from chef Marcus Samuelsson, originated in Harlem and has locations in Las Vegas, the Bahamas, and now Yankee Stadium (truly the pinnacle). Streetbird is dedicated to something there isn’t enough of in ballparks: quality spicy fried chicken.

In addition to the aforementioned Birddog, Streetbird has spicy wings, chicken tenders and fries, and new “M’s kickin’ tenders”, with Samuelsson’s Famous Kickin’ Sauce. They have chicken and waffles here too, with waffles made from Marcus’s Aunt Mabel’s cornbread. Baseball needs more of this stuff.

Scrumptiously delicious AND handicapped accessible milkshakes!

Yankee Stadium Desserts: Here’s Why This Team Has So Many Fans

If you want a fancy dessert, head over to the Grand Slam Shakes stand in the food court. They have some impressive, diabetic nightmare shakes here.

Here’s the menu of Yankee Stadium milkshakes in 2025:

• Baby Ruth (get it?): A chocolate shake with chocolate sprinkles, chocolate sauce, and Baby Ruth bar chunks.
• Butterfinger: A vanilla shake with chocolate sprinkles, peanut butter sauce, and Butterfinger bar chunks.
• Black & White Cookie: A vanilla shake with chocolate sprinkles, chocolate sauce, and a mini black and white cookie.
• Candy Corner: Vanilla shake with rainbow sprinkles, strawberry sauce, cotton candy, whipped cream and a lollipop.

As for me, I’m all about the Baby Ruth bar.

For some reason, they don’t list the calorie counts on these things like they do everywhere else; I’m sure they’re off the charts. But as noted dietary expert Kevin James said, you gotta let go of your diet at the ballgame. And these are some amazeballs-looking milkshakes.

Like with hot dogs, the Yankees offer more than one brand of ice cream. You can find Blue Bunny hand-dipped ice cream in multiple flavors in the 100 and 300 levels.

Healthier Choices of Yankee Stadium Food? Yes, Vegetarian, Gluten Free, or Just Produce.

Having a celiac-afflicted wife, I need to be aware of these things, so here we go:

They look genuinely surprised that they have a potential customer.

There is a Gluten-Free NY Grill in the Great Hall, with Nathan’s dogs or Premio sausages on Udi’s gluten-free buns. Mighty Quinn also have GF choices and is a good spot for celiacs at Yankee Stadium. Redbridge Beer is sold here, and last I checked you can get Kozy Shack pudding at Highlanders.

For vegans, there’s the aforementioned Oatly soft serve, but also the Impossible Burger, also found at the Gluten-Free NY Grill.

I guess they figure anyone who would chuck an apple at an opposing player wouldn’t be seen buying produce at a ballpark.

There is a Melissa’s Produce stand at Gate 4 selling relatively inexpensive fresh fruits (apples, pears, and oranges) and salads. Melissa’s has been here since 2009 and has managed to survive in a ballpark full of tantalizing caloric bombs. Maybe because you’re not allowed to bring uncut apples inside.

And you thought corn on the cob was boring.

New to the Stadium recently is a fun if not entirely healthy way to eat corn on the cob: Bronx Street Corn. It’s a cob from Melissa’s covered with cilantro lime crema, cotija, and taki crumbles. I’m not sure why the Yankees would allow a potential projectile to be sold in the outfield, but there’s been no problems as far as I know.

Benihana, btw, also has veggie sushi and edamame, which isn’t a bad ballpark snack for healthier sorts.

Finally, I figure this bit belongs in the healthier section: due to a New York City ordinance, food stands are required to post calorie counts for each item sold there. You’ll probably be surprised at some of them; the popcorn, pretzels, and pan-fried tofu are through the roof, while the Lobel’s sandwich and garlic fries aren’t scary at all. If you’re watching your figure to fit in the bleachers without cheek rubbing, look around a little bit.

All At Ballpark Prices Of Course. Can I Bring My Own?

Super cheap peanuts, on the opposite street corner from the Stadium. Do the Yankees even know???

Yes you can my friend. I cover three great outside deli spots on 161st Street here, just a few steps from the Stadium.

Here’s the official policy: The Yankees allow bags 16*16*8 inches into the Stadium, which will be searched. They don’t say you can bring food in, but they don’t say you can’t either, so bring your own peanuts and deli sandwich.

The Yankees don’t even specifically prohibit alcohol, but I wouldn’t try bringing in a six-pack. Sealed bottles of water smaller than one liter are okay. If nothing else, bring a few bottles, since you will get thirsty. Fruits like apples and oranges must be sliced lest they be deemed weapons.

Yankee Stadium food trucks are plentiful close to the train station, selling hot dogs, halal food and bottled water, and you can get peanuts and drinks at the Foodtown market on 161st. There are vendors in the path from the Metro-North station too.

There you go baseball fans: the definitive guide to everything you need to know to make an educated decision on Yankee Stadium food. There’s plenty more info on this website by the way, especially about finding cheap Yankees tickets, choosing a seat on a budget, getting to the Stadium and bringing the kids. Or you could just read this complete guide to Yankee Stadium. (It’s what I do.)
