Food is practically synonymous with baseball. There are 162 games in a regular Major League Baseball season, with 81 home games and 81 away games. The season stretches from spring all the way through summer, and each game operates at a relatively slow pace. Grabbing a snack—or full-blown meal (and dessert)—at some point during the nine innings is inevitable. Inventive menus with plenty of variety, fun flavor combos, and the occasional kitschy souvenir are a must. What can fans look forward to? We scoured the menus of all 30 MLB teams to find the most exciting 2025 additions. All of this grub is worth taking yourself out to a ball game this season.
The Chessie At Baltimore Orioles
The chefs behind the Chessie call it the "best of Maryland on one bun." And if you’re going to say it’s the best of Maryland, it better have some crab, right? The new item offers up a footlong Chesapeake sausage covered in creamy crab dip with pickled sweet corn and fried green tomatoes. It is served on a soft pretzel bun.
What Up Corn Dog At Seattle Mariners
The What Up Corn Dog looks the part for fans in Seattle. A honey-battered corn dog with a spicy "Mariner blue crunch" is served with nacho cheese. There's a slew of other new items—including ice cream nachos with soft serve ice cream on thick waffle chips and new rolls from Nakagawa Sushi. Sumo Dog is also new, and not to be missed. Their "Godzilla" dog features a footlong all-beef hot dog with beef chili, togarashi cheese sauce, wasabi relish, pickled peppers, spicy mayo, teriyaki sauce, furikake, minced onion, jalapeno, and nori.
Z Man Sandwich At Kansas City Royals
Sure, Kauffman Stadium has a blue velvet whoopie pie filled with vanilla fluff (it’s as much a visual delight as a tasty one), and there’s a new "sluggerrr dog" with chorizo, Doritos Cool Ranch crust, and avocado aioli, but the Z Man sandwich is a true taste of Kansas City at Joe’s KC Bar-B-Que stand. The new item features slow-smoked beef brisket, smoked provolone, and two crispy onion rings on a toasted Kaiser roll.
Chicken Cordon-Brew At Milwaukee Brewers
American Family Field is now offering a spinoff of the classic fried chicken sandwich. The Chicken Cordon-Brew, taking inspiration from chicken cordon bleu, features a fried chicken breast with shaved ham and Swiss cheese. Unlike the classic version, this sandwich features beer-butter onions (as in, onions cooked in butter and beer) and brown mustard on a potato bun for a Milwaukee feel.
Wagyu Beef Dumplings At New York Yankees
The New York Yankees have an all-star cast of food partners, from Bobby Flay's burgers to David Chang’s Fuku, not to mention Marcus Samuelsson and his new foot-long hot dog topped with M’s Kickin’ Tenders. But let’s focus on the Brooklyn Dumpling Shop coming to Yankee Stadium for the first time. The 2021-born restaurant will bring three varieties of dumplings, including buffalo chicken with buttermilk ranch, kung pao chicken with spicy aioli, and wagyu beef dumping with spicy aioli.
Rah Rah Ramen At San Francisco Giants
We've got our eyes on the new Rah Rah Ramen at Oracle Park. The stand features both miso ramen and shoyu ramen. The miso variety features egg noodles, seared tofu, marinated bamboo, roasted corn, carrots, scallions, wood ear mushrooms, and bean sprouts in a miso broth. Grab the shoyu option for egg noodles, roasted pork, bamboo, bean sprouts, scallion, wood ear mushrooms, and soy sauce tare.
Popcorn Bat At San Francisco Giants & Pittsburgh Pirates
Fans in San Francisco and Pittsburgh have the chance to grab a 98-ounce collectible, team-branded souvenir "bat" filled with popcorn, a unique delivery method for the ballpark staple. As a bonus, you can refill the bat for free. San Francisco, Philly, Kansas City, and the New York Mets will offer a beverage bat, which can hold a variety of beverages, available in 16-ounce and 24-ounce sizes.
Smoked LA BBQ Platter At Los Angeles Dodgers
Embrace the smoked meat in Los Angeles! At Dodger Stadium, you can now get in-house seasoned and smoked al pastor ribs and pulled pork. The meat comes with esquites (toasted corn), chipotle cornbread, habanero baked beans, chorizo links, and pineapple salsa. Dodger Stadium already has some al pastor dishes, so incorporating a full plate of sides is a welcome addition.
Plakata Skewer At Toronto Blue Jays
We’re excited about the new Plakata skewers in Toronto. The dish features chicken covered in sazón and ancho chipotle aioli with pico de gallo. There’s also a jerk chicken skewer. Toronto also has mini pancakes topped with either Oreos or blueberries slated for the 2025 season, as well as french fries topped with blue and white cotton candy (yes, you read that right).
The Fiesta Burger At New York Mets
Lauded for one of the best culinary menus in the game, Citi Field continues to add to its offerings. In April and May, Adam Richman’s Burger Hall of Fame will serve a six-ounce, taco-spiced Pat LaFrieda burger patty with chipotle crema, a Mexican cheese blend, spicy guacamole, tortilla chips, and roasted salsa on a pan de agua roll. It’s just one more reason to try the food in Queens.
S’mores Quesadilla At Philadelphia Phillies
If you’re looking for something a little sweet in Philadelphia, other than their red velvet affogato (a red velvet cookie and vanilla ice cream topped with espresso), go for the new s’mores quesadilla. This item features Nutella, mini marshmallows, and graham cracker crumbles in a flour tortilla served with a chocolate dipping sauce. Yeah, that’s plenty sweet.
Jake And Jake’s Smoked Brisket Sandwich At Washington Nationals
Washington Nationals players Jake Irvin and Jacob Young have hand-selected this smoked brisket sandwich. The sandwich, which will hit the menu early in the season, features slow-smoked brisket with a "mambo sauce" slaw and tangy pickled vegetables in a warm onion roll. The players gave it the ok, but what will fans think?
Fried Almond Torte At Pittsburgh Pirates
The new fried almond torte in Pittsburgh is an indulgent, crisp treat topped with raspberry sauce, icing, and burnt almonds. It will be perfect after an empanada filled with barbecue-chipped ham, Cheddar cheese, and pickles—another offering at PNC Park.
Parrillada Board At Miami Marlins
The mixture of grilled steak, chicken breast, and sausage is plated with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, chimichurri verde, chimichurri rojo, and cilantro sauce. It’s available in the new sports lounge of the stadium's concession partner, Levy, located in left field.
Jibarito Sandwich At Chicago Cubs
This new stack features roast beef with garlic butter, lettuce, tomato, and garlic aioli tucked between two smashed and fried plantains. It's a limited-time offer from the Cubs, part of a rotation of four dishes early in the season, with the most popular making a return later in the season. Additional rotating menu items include short rib sliders, a New England lobster roll, chili lime fries, and sticky pork bao.
Daddy Mac Dog At Houston Astros
Okay, so we’re skipping over the chicken waffle sandwich with pepper jack cheese, bacon onion jam, and honey chipotle aioli and going straight to the Daddy Mac Dog, a footlong angus beef frank with chopped brisket, macaroni and cheese, barbecue sauce and crispy dill pickle. Let’s just say, there’s plenty to explore this year in Houston.
The Red’s Island Griller At Cincinnati Reds
The Great American Ball Park has a new range of street tacos and a fresh take on sausage delivery. The Red’s Island Griller features Hempler’s sausage with pineapple salsa and Kogi sweet garlic barbecue sauce on a hoagie roll. There’s also a version with sausage served with Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and thousand island dressing. Make it a double and get an added brat.
Wazee Burger At Colorado Rockies
In its 30th year working with the Rockies at Coors Field, the food service company Aramark decided to put a new twist on some classic items, from a dessert nacho to a seasoned fry. The Wazee Burger is one of the results of that goal: It's a half-pound beef patty on a toasted potato bun with sliced Cheddar, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and the ballpark’s "boom boom sauce."
Cabot Gourmet Grilled Cheese At Boston Red Sox
Sometimes, classic home-cooked comfort foods make their way inside the ballpark. While grilled cheese sandwiches aren’t exactly known as a stadium staple, this year, the Red Sox will offer a grilled cheese made with Cabot (a creamery based in Vermont) served on sourdough bread with a mix of toppings to choose from.
The Boomstick Burrito At Texas Rangers
The Boomstick hot dog—a two-foot-long dog—was popular enough at Globe Life Field that they introduced the Boomstick Burrito featuring a massive 26-inch flour tortilla filled with rice, beans, seasoned taco meat, Rico’s nacho cheese, pico de gallo, lettuce, and sour cream. Don’t fret; the Rangers serve the burrito in four shareable portions.
Intentional Wok At St. Louis Cardinals
Rice bowls have plenty of individuality at Busch Stadium this season, as the Cardinal's home base offers the Intentional Wok with choices aplenty. The rice or noodles come topped with a mix of proteins and a range of sauces. Fans can also look forward to Crumbl Cookies entering the ballpark, and Mayo Ketchup by Plantain Girl will provide fast-casual Puerto Rican, Dominican, and Cuban cuisines.
