The Best Food at Busch Stadium

Look no further than Broadway BBQ in Section 509 or 109 (near the bleachers) for the best barbecue fare that Busch Stadium has to offer. For a city that takes its BBQ very seriously, it passes the taste test, and staples like pulled pork, beef brisket sandwiches, and turkey legs. Plus traditional sides like coleslaw and baked beans are done well.

Another solid option for BBQ is the Centerfield Carvery Section in Section 189, which serves carved to order classics like beef brisket.

The Pulled Pork Nachos from Country Bob’s BBQ (noticing a theme?) with smoked pulled pork and topped with Monterrey jack cheese. It also has BBQ sauce & spice, banana peppers, and jalapenos are another ballpark staple.

Other great nacho options (like the ones pictured below from El Birdo’s) are available pretty much throughout the entire ballpark.

One last great option is the beef sandwich from Nona’s Italian Beef Sandwich at Section 151, which has grilled peppers, onions, and finely sliced beef served on a sandwich that has melted cheese.

The classic Pretzel will always be a fan favorite. They can be found at RBC Pretzelry Section 248, and Bowtie Grill Section 271.

More Great Stadium Food

While on the note of classic game foods, the 8th Street Market Section 153 offers affordable options like snack chips, popcorn, peanuts, pre-packaged ice cream, and more!

The Budweiser Burger Bar is located on the Budweiser Terrace on the fourth level of Busch Stadium. Here fans gather in the standing area. It’s serving up some awesome items, most notably “The Classic Bud Burger.” It consists of two patties topped with Caramelized Onions on a Kaiser Roll, lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, and of course, local favorite Budweiser Pub Cheese.

The Best Dessert at Busch Stadium

For those with a sweet tooth, head to Dingers Donuts. It’s found in either Section 145 for their fresh fried doughnuts that are served warm. You’ll have the option of having them topped with chocolate or vanilla glaze, sprinkles, and cinnamon sugar.

If you are going to a game with kids or shakes are more your speed, hit up the Family Pavilion Kids Kitchen Section 107 for a 10 oz North Star cookies ‘n cream shake.

Ice Cream is ubiquitous at Busch Stadium, so if you’re looking for some frozen treats on a hot day at the ballpark, you won’t have to walk very far from your seat. For fan favorite Ben & Jerry’s, find it all over the first level in Sections 138, and 149, Section 265, and 446 on the upper level.
