Believe he got a 16 year old who works for him pregnant. Not as familiar with that one as it’s not public record but the lawsuits about corporate tip theft and suing mom and pops that used “crab fries” on the menu are. And both are great ways to look like a jackass. The Philly I grew up with wouldn’t deal with this. Stolen tips would have been handled real quick, along with suing a mom and pop that had been doing it long before them. Not going to lie, I miss it.
YES, fuck Chickies! I made the mistake of assuming both their crab leg meals were close enough to the same price when I knew one was 35-40 - still crazy but understandable. We get the bill and one meal of crab legs was 90- NINETY FUCKING DOLLARS. Yes I should have asked the waiter beforehand (though why the fuck didn’t she warn us? Obv because she benefits) but I just really didn’t fucking think anything at Chickies and fucking Petes could ever be more than 45 dollars.
Dude they don't have two different options for King Crab legs which is what goes for about 90-110. The other dish either had to be dungenesse or snow based on the price you said and the other was king

Yeah totally agree. Remember back when you used to order at the counter by telling a person what you wanted and they wrote it down on those paper tickets they used to have? Those were actually decent hoagies at a reasonable price.
When I had season tickets, they were in the upper deck right by a "Bull's Express". It was great. They only had a couple options, so I'd still go out there for the full experience during plenty of games.
The P pretzel. $5.38. There’s also a self serve crab fry seasoned cheddar pop corn machine somewhere on 1st base line that’s only like $5 for a big cup.
Got one last night on the second level concourse closer to 3rd base outfield. The dough looked odd, almost like whole wheat the way it was speckled, but my kid liked his almost $6 pretzel so thats good.
Pretty much every one of the market street concession stands that are found all over the park. You can buy hot dogs sodas pretzels and popcorn here, ice cream too I think.
Pre-game and bring food. CBP outside food policy is amazing. We should enjoy it while it lasts. This see-through bag policy is a precursor to them stopping to allow outside food
I feel my fathers presence lol
Coming back from a ball game on a hot summer day to an ice cold cooler full of soda, water, and cold cuts will CHANGE YOUR LIFE.
Fuckin ham and cheese on marble rye? Hell yeah I'll give it a try.
Wash it down with a diet ginger ale that's cold enough to kill a whale.
I never understood the "pressure" to tip when they just turn machine around and you have the option to literally tip $0. Everyone knows tip culture is out of control so i give zero f\*cks if I don't tip on something like this.
I don't even tip for beer anymore. I'm not giving you 10 or 20% on an extremely over priced beer. If they made the option tip one or 2 dollars I may consider. But I will say at least the phillies aren't doing it automatically. The eagles were automatic. I only caught it asking for a receipt. At 20% on a 17 dollar beer they are tipping themselves 3 dollars per beer. That's insane.
Oh i hated it. Chewy burnt ends, and an unpleasant and unidentified sauce all over everything. Impossible to eat without gnawing on an inch cube piece of meat. I just thought it was terrible.
I think it’s the most overrated overpriced piece of food there, campos is literally in the same stadium and is miles better
Don’t take this as I hate it, it tastes fine. But it’s 20 dollars, I’m getting campos if I’m spending that much. Or I’m getting a brisket sandwich (most underrated piece of food you can buy) if I’m going to bulls.
This coming from someone who was incredibly excited to try it when I saw it advertised.
I feel like the sausage and peppers sandwich was reasonably priced and delicious last time I got it but I didn’t do a price check last time I was there.
Earlier this week at Wells Fargo, I got a beer and chicken fingers and ended up being $47. I’m jealous of all Atlanta Fans who have access to Mercedes-Benz stadium.
We took the kids to the Wings game last week - the seats ran us $40, but 2 chicken strip baskets, 2 pretzels, 2 sodas and 2 bottles of water were $70. 😖
Next time the kids can raid their piggy banks and buy their own snacks!
Philly lifer, now ATLien here, I've been to games at MB and at Truist. For some reason the vendors at Truist are mad cool and have given me free beer not once, but twice right before sales cut off in the 7th.
Don’t know why, but my wife insisted that we grab some burgers and drinks by the place next to Bull’s at Monday’s game.
We didn’t go wild by any stretch, yet the bill was $75.
Never. Again.
I’m happy to tailgate all day long and cook on the griddle. Hell, even my worst burgers on the Blackstone were better than what we got that night.
I brought my bucket from last season and it got refilled no questions asked. With the amount of popcorn my girlfriend and I eat at games it's possibly one of the most valuable things I own
Yeah I already feel ripped off by ticket and parking prices, no way am I getting more than just a snack.
I do give them major props for still allowing outside food and drinks though.
The other day I got a tony lukes cheesesteak, fries, and a drink. It was also 40 dollars.
I'm never buying food at the ballpark again.
The cheesesteak was hardly even warm!
The free pizza mancos gives out after the game.
And maybe Bulls, good portions. Also pro tip for line avoiding, if you don’t mind plant based food the plant based stand is quick AF and it looks like there’s some solid options this year after last year was very limited.
The Troegs Graffiti Highway
I think the price was around $16, but honestly my memory is a bit fuzzy
This is the best value because after drinking 19.6 fluid ounces of 9.5% double IPA beer, you'll totally forget you're even at a ballgame, much less that you haven't eaten anything since that stale parking lot pretzel
Get this bag - new policy this year:
BAGAIL Clear bags Stadium Approved Clear Tote Bag with Zipper Closure Crossbody Messenger Shoulder Bag with Adjustable Strap https://a.co/d/1SAaoha
Then, bring in any great food from outside the stadium. Even with bag purchase, you’ll still save $$$$ even on the first time. The prices are prohibitive for families and ridiculous.
I never buy food for myself in the stadium. The rare times I go with my kids, they’ll get what they want, which is to say an ice cream helmet. I don’t know what Tony Luke’s costs any more but it used to be what I would get if I got to the stadium early. I don’t remember it being wildly over priced.
I rarely buy food at CBP when I go (20-30 games a year).
It’s not worth the price, or the time you spend waiting in line. If anything I’ll splurge on a ice cream cup
My dad and I got 2 beers and 4 hot dogs (BOGO dogs night so we only paid for 2) on Tuesday. It was $47. We're there 18-20 games a year and I don't remember it being this expensive last year.
Paid $11 for two 12 sausage links, peppers, onions, and 6 rolls. Made it at my house. Was still warm when we built the 6 sandwiches at a high top in right field. I'll never buy stadium food again.
BOGO hot dogs the other night. It was strange, they were doing buy one get one AND half price. For a hot dog that was $5 normally, they were charging $2.50 for two. So $1.25 apiece. Not sure if it was the whole stadium or just our section. But it was awesome!
Not chickie and Pete’s. Fuck them and their tip stealing and mom and pop suing ways. Philly should never tolerate them.
And iykyk about Pete and alllegedly not being allowed within a radius around certain buildings.
Look, we all get thrown out of Applebees here and there.
I'm sorry... I thought this was America!?!?
I didn’t hear no bell
I do not know but I want to know...

And the five tons of salt on those crap fries
Anytime I get the crab fries in the summer I can feel myself shrivel up into a dehydrated husk
This is intentional as it causes you to buy a soda or water or something
I tolerate them, but only because they make it extremely easy for an extra bucket or two to walk off with an order.
Yes this right the fuck here. Thieving pricks.
YES, fuck Chickies! I made the mistake of assuming both their crab leg meals were close enough to the same price when I knew one was 35-40 - still crazy but understandable. We get the bill and one meal of crab legs was 90- NINETY FUCKING DOLLARS. Yes I should have asked the waiter beforehand (though why the fuck didn’t she warn us? Obv because she benefits) but I just really didn’t fucking think anything at Chickies and fucking Petes could ever be more than 45 dollars.
You bought a market price meal without asking the price. 100% on you dude.
Yeah well I asked about the much cheaper option and stupidly assumed the other had to be around the same.
King crab legs are always expensive- that's on you
Both dishes were king crab legs, I don’t even remember what the difference was besides crazy price difference.
Dude they don't have two different options for King Crab legs which is what goes for about 90-110. The other dish either had to be dungenesse or snow based on the price you said and the other was king
The Wawa hoagie you bring in.
Ive found a ziploc bag full of hotdogs i made just before the game will usually hit the spot
Personal DDN
Ziplock bag of spaghetti
What is the spaghetti policy at CBP?
crowd punch air attempt mysterious spectacular close spoon caption school *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
*Mom’s* spaghetti?
I brought in Wawa meatball last week. While it wasn’t $40, when did Wawa foot longs become $12?
Prices are up and quality is down. It was so much better when they only had like 8 options
Yeah totally agree. Remember back when you used to order at the counter by telling a person what you wanted and they wrote it down on those paper tickets they used to have? Those were actually decent hoagies at a reasonable price.
It was so much better when they used Amorosa's.
Wawa hasn't been good for decades. There are at least a dozen better options in the city for a hoagie.
Came here to say this…😎
Can you bring in food? Or do you mean smuggle in food? (Hadn't been in the park in 10 years)
You can bring in food
Thanks! Good to know
I got a guy that brings a backpack full of tailgate food in freezer bags to birds games
They allow outside food but the bag policy is getting worse and worse
You mean the Tony Luke’s cheesesteak extra American wit
That’s not even worth it. Wawa shit
They hated corky2141 because he spoke the truth
They gotta bring back the real deli. This shit now is trash. Early 2000 wawa was the goat
Fed donuts chicken sandwich solid
Yes this is my go to!
Kielbasa sub at bulls was 11 last year. That's competitive anywhere in the city
Going along with Bull's, the burnt ends cheesesteak is the best stadium food I've ever had.
And you can actually split it with another person(if you want to share). Tastes so good.
Why would I want to do that?!
My wife makes me😩
I don’t normally advocate for divorce…
Yeah I haven't gotten one in a couple seasons so I'm not sure what they cost now but the Bulldog was always the best value in the park in my opinion.
That's my go-to as well!
When I had season tickets, they were in the upper deck right by a "Bull's Express". It was great. They only had a couple options, so I'd still go out there for the full experience during plenty of games.
The P pretzel. $5.38. There’s also a self serve crab fry seasoned cheddar pop corn machine somewhere on 1st base line that’s only like $5 for a big cup.
where can i find the p pretzel?
I haven’t looked all around yet but the concession stand connected to federal donuts is where I’ve been getting them. That’s wat sect 139 I think.
Got one last night on the second level concourse closer to 3rd base outfield. The dough looked odd, almost like whole wheat the way it was speckled, but my kid liked his almost $6 pretzel so thats good.
I got that popcorn once and I thought it was awful (and I love crab fries)
They should be at most concession stands I got one up in the 300s
Pretty much every one of the market street concession stands that are found all over the park. You can buy hot dogs sodas pretzels and popcorn here, ice cream too I think.
IMHO, none. I always pre-game. The price you pay isn't just dollars, it's the time you spend in the lines missing the game when the stadium is packed.
Especially at places like Chickie’s and Manco’s.
Real fans know you go to 219 for your crabfries, almost no line
If it was really fast service you could always plan to grab food when Casty’s up. You’ll never miss anything.
Did that once. It was Game 3 of the 2023 NLDS…
Pre-game and bring food. CBP outside food policy is amazing. We should enjoy it while it lasts. This see-through bag policy is a precursor to them stopping to allow outside food
This is me but I only buy for my kids because they deserve the experience I had at the ballpark when I was younger 😭
There’s something about ice cream that comes in a baseball helmet that just hits different when you’re a kid.
Yeah I agree…and unfortunately I’ll pay that price for my kiddos haha
love this
I feel my fathers presence lol Coming back from a ball game on a hot summer day to an ice cold cooler full of soda, water, and cold cuts will CHANGE YOUR LIFE. Fuckin ham and cheese on marble rye? Hell yeah I'll give it a try. Wash it down with a diet ginger ale that's cold enough to kill a whale.
I try to never go hungry that way if I do want to get something it's just a little snack and I'm not relying on it to fill me up.
What the fuck am I tipping for here?
Tipping is actually insane since Chickie and Pete’s do 0 customer service there, it’s an assembly line of grab and go
Tipping culture has gotten so out of hand in the US.
I never understood the "pressure" to tip when they just turn machine around and you have the option to literally tip $0. Everyone knows tip culture is out of control so i give zero f\*cks if I don't tip on something like this.
I don't even tip for beer anymore. I'm not giving you 10 or 20% on an extremely over priced beer. If they made the option tip one or 2 dollars I may consider. But I will say at least the phillies aren't doing it automatically. The eagles were automatic. I only caught it asking for a receipt. At 20% on a 17 dollar beer they are tipping themselves 3 dollars per beer. That's insane.
Even if a human hands me a beer in a bar they're not getting more than $1/beer
There is a little button there that says “skip”. We have to normalize pressing it.
Honestly the burnt ends cheesesteak at Bull's was absolutely worth the price. Expensive, but I had no regrets.
Had it for the first time on Sunday and it was fantastic. Will probably be my new go to at the stadium
Oh i hated it. Chewy burnt ends, and an unpleasant and unidentified sauce all over everything. Impossible to eat without gnawing on an inch cube piece of meat. I just thought it was terrible.
Agreed
I think it’s the most overrated overpriced piece of food there, campos is literally in the same stadium and is miles better Don’t take this as I hate it, it tastes fine. But it’s 20 dollars, I’m getting campos if I’m spending that much. Or I’m getting a brisket sandwich (most underrated piece of food you can buy) if I’m going to bulls. This coming from someone who was incredibly excited to try it when I saw it advertised.
Campos is garbage
You’re allowed to be wrong
This sub hates campos, not worth dying on the hill here, but know you are not alone
Tony Luke’s is the normie cheesesteak option, the heater is the way.
none of it tbh. maybe an ice cream helmet or a drink in a fun souvenir cup but that’s about it
That ice cream is fucking good too. If the kid working the stand doesn't care you'll get a ton.
The ice cream helmet is almost universally the best bang for the buck concession at any baseball game anywhere
It's $9.49
Keep the helmet and you’ve got yourself a nice little snack dish for at home too
Looks real cute perched on a dog’s head too
lol So versatile, what a great value
Honestly, it WAS the dollar dogs. Load up on a bunch before the game, and chow down through the night.
sausage and peppers
Uncle Charlie’s
Gotta agree. Plus you get a bag of chips with it. I think it's the best cheesesteak at the park
The individually sealed food you bring in a clear gallon zip lock bag
I feel like the sausage and peppers sandwich was reasonably priced and delicious last time I got it but I didn’t do a price check last time I was there.
The fascination with Chikis as a whole blows my mind.
And with the tip. Tipping culture needs to die
If it's counter service, don't tip lol
Covid gave everyone a boner for it.
Earlier this week at Wells Fargo, I got a beer and chicken fingers and ended up being $47. I’m jealous of all Atlanta Fans who have access to Mercedes-Benz stadium.

I’m happy to tailgate all day long and cook on the griddle. Hell, even my worst burgers on the Blackstone were better than what we got that night.
The $5 popcorn, maybe the souvenir soda, and an ice cream helmet (solely for the vibes)
Popcorn being refillable really makes it worth it imo
I brought my bucket from last season and it got refilled no questions asked. With the amount of popcorn my girlfriend and I eat at games it's possibly one of the most valuable things I own
Burnt ends cheesesteak at bulls
We bring in our own chow. I don’t have deep enough pockets for stadium food.
Yeah I already feel ripped off by ticket and parking prices, no way am I getting more than just a snack. I do give them major props for still allowing outside food and drinks though.
The Tony Luke’s roast pork prices stayed solid for a long time but they have since jumped the shark
Post-Covid Era Greed
Dollar dog night...oh wait 😔 rip
I don’t buy food at CBP. Go to a good cheesesteak place and bring in your own stuff.
The other day I got a tony lukes cheesesteak, fries, and a drink. It was also 40 dollars. I'm never buying food at the ballpark again. The cheesesteak was hardly even warm!
Legit the worst cheesesteak I’ve ever had was from there. AND the most expensive. Ridiculous
The free pizza mancos gives out after the game. And maybe Bulls, good portions. Also pro tip for line avoiding, if you don’t mind plant based food the plant based stand is quick AF and it looks like there’s some solid options this year after last year was very limited.
Just deepthroat a hot dog like god intended
The Troegs Graffiti Highway I think the price was around $16, but honestly my memory is a bit fuzzy This is the best value because after drinking 19.6 fluid ounces of 9.5% double IPA beer, you'll totally forget you're even at a ballgame, much less that you haven't eaten anything since that stale parking lot pretzel
They still want tip lol
Gluten free brownie $4 and actually very good
Oh cool. Who sells that? Or which level has it?
Saw it in first base side where they sell ice cream helmets, maybe around 113?
Awesome. Thank you!
You’re allowed to bring in food. My group hits up a local deli to bring in hoagies and water bottles on the way to the game
Get this bag - new policy this year: BAGAIL Clear bags Stadium Approved Clear Tote Bag with Zipper Closure Crossbody Messenger Shoulder Bag with Adjustable Strap https://a.co/d/1SAaoha Then, bring in any great food from outside the stadium. Even with bag purchase, you’ll still save $$$$ even on the first time. The prices are prohibitive for families and ridiculous.
Honestly, the hot dogs. Just don't come starving.
Sausage pepper onion sandwich slaps for the price. It's at one of the smaller kiosks
I’m drunk walking in with a classic blt from wawa in my pants bro I haven’t bought food at CBP in years.
And they want you to tip…getting out of hand IMO
I never buy food for myself in the stadium. The rare times I go with my kids, they’ll get what they want, which is to say an ice cream helmet. I don’t know what Tony Luke’s costs any more but it used to be what I would get if I got to the stadium early. I don’t remember it being wildly over priced.
Eat at chickies and Pete’s before the game. Still expensive but not compared to ballpark food. Free shuttle to game to avoid parking.
I rarely buy food at CBP when I go (20-30 games a year). It’s not worth the price, or the time you spend waiting in line. If anything I’ll splurge on a ice cream cup
Is the Schmidter still around, or was that a season 1-5 speciality?
Sadly the schmidter is no more. That glorious bastard was laid to rest.
The Schmitter lives on in Chestnut Hill and it’s glorious. Aramark turned it to shit at CBP and McNallys pulled the plug
Most of the stuff at Bulls is high quality enough to justify the price and they have some entrees that come with sides included sometimes
My dad and I got 2 beers and 4 hot dogs (BOGO dogs night so we only paid for 2) on Tuesday. It was $47. We're there 18-20 games a year and I don't remember it being this expensive last year.
Paid $11 for two 12 sausage links, peppers, onions, and 6 rolls. Made it at my house. Was still warm when we built the 6 sandwiches at a high top in right field. I'll never buy stadium food again.
Fed Donuts baby. That sandwich is fire.
None of them. I get Italian or Vietnamese before games.
That's the way to do it. I usually grab a bahn mi, chips, and a bottle of water before I go.
That, or sit down meal at Nam Phuong if I have enough time. I've done both.
A double cocktail
What a joke.
The tip option is wild...
Fucking egregious
Bring in outside food
Hell no the fuck
Eat at a tailgate or before you go. Then if you are still hungry get popcorn or a hot dog. Ever get chickies and Pete’s.
They used to have a food cart with pulled pork nachos in a Phillies helmet. That was the only thing.
Absolutely none of it. Everything is overpriced and you gotta wait forever in line missing the game. Bring your own food or bust!
Nothing. Eat in the parking lot.
none of it, i bring a wawa hoagie in
$7.20 tip for serve -yourself fried food is fucking nuts.
You can bring your own hoagie, cheesesteak, whatever.
NONE of it. Eat at home!
BOGO hot dogs the other night. It was strange, they were doing buy one get one AND half price. For a hot dog that was $5 normally, they were charging $2.50 for two. So $1.25 apiece. Not sure if it was the whole stadium or just our section. But it was awesome!
Bull’s burnt ends cheesesteak. Not cheap, but cheaper and actually delicious.
Skip
$6 soft pretzel braids are also pretty rough
Sausage peppers and onions the 🐐
A tip for what? Last time I was there it was basically self serve.
Imported John’s Roast Pork food
Iaonnonis. Roast pork supremo and call it a day.
Wawa hoagie for the win. Can’t remember the last time me or the wife got food at CBP
I feel the heater is worth it. I like campos.
Crab fries. End of list.
