Welcome to Stadium Eats, a Delish series where we take you to the best stadiums in the country to showcase the fans, the atmosphere, and most importantly, the food.
Don’t strike out with your food the next time you’re at a Mets game. Here is what you need to try!
Lobster Shack - Field Level
The Fresh Maine Lobster Roll was delicious and is such a generous portion. I love that you have the option to order it hot or cold. It’s served on a split-top bun, topped with lemon and parsley aioli, with chips on the side. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that I can get a lobster roll at a baseball game. I am officially spoiled and not sure if I can ever go back to hot dogs.
Vegan City - Field Level
If you’re a vegan, you need to stop by Vegan City for their jackfruit chili nachos topped with vegan cheese, pico de gallo, roasted salsa, and guacamole. A must.
Shake Shack - Taste of The City Area
No need for an introduction, this smash burger is iconic. Shake Shack has been at Citi Field stadium for 14 years. The burgers at Shake Shack can easily be devoured in four bites, maybe two if you’re really hungry. If you want to get your hands on one of these juicy burgers I recommend you order one earlier in the game or else you’ll be waiting in a very long line.
Amazin’ Chicken Co. – Taste of The City Area
THE PORTIONS ARE INSANE! General Tso’s chicken tenders are perfectly coated with Tso’s Sauce and topped with sesame seeds and scallions. The dish comes with a side of Cheesy Tater Kegs that are filled with a three-cheese blend. If you’re looking to indulge, you need to order this.
Pastrami Sandwich - Field Level
Here's how much fans love this sandwich: A season-ticket holder once came to Citi Field and ordered 65 pastrami sandwiches TO-GO to bring to a barbecue he was having. This pastrami sandwich even has its very own baseball card. I think it goes without saying, IT’S GREAT.
Wowfulls - Field Level
Fans will wait in a 20-minute line to get their hands on this Rainbow World Ice Cream. Perhaps because they're enticed by the aroma of the freshly made bubble waffle cone that you can smell a mile away. The Crazy Vanilla Rainbow Ice Cream is topped with Fruity Pebbles, rainbow sprinkles, pocky sticks, powdered sugar, and chocolate sauce. Prepare to have a sugar rush!
Jacob’s Pickles - Jim Beam Highball Club - Promenade
This Fried Chicken Biscuit sandwich was hands down the best thing I tried at Citi Field. I'm seriously drooling as I’m typing just thinking about it.
