Ultimate Guide to Atlanta Stadium Dining

There’s nothing quite like a sports experience in the A. Year-round, Atlanta is a haven for passionate fans who rally behind their teams, whether it’s tailgating before kickoff or dancing in the stands after a win. From Mercedes-Benz Stadium and State Farm Arena to Truist Park and Gateway Center Arena, each venue brings top-tier entertainment, electric energy and mouth-watering dining options that make every gameday unforgettable.

Mercedes-Benz Stadium

An architectural highlight of downtown Atlanta, Mercedes-Benz Stadium is designed with sports lovers in mind. It’s not just the retractable roof, Halo scoreboard and electric fan base that stand out; the affordable, yet high-quality dining experience takes center stage at sporting events.

Mercedes-Benz Stadium partners with local restaurants. Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q brings the heat with their Big Tex brisket sandwich and loaded Totchos, while Farm Burger serves up grass-fed beef burgers with hand-cut fries for a more elevated fast-casual meal. Delia’s Chicken Sausage Stand offers handcrafted sausage creations with unique toppings, and Sublime Doughnuts satisfies the sweet tooth with fan-favorite treats. You’ll also find BBQ staples from Jim ‘N Nick’s Community Bar-B-Q and meatless options, such as Garden Grill and Meatless Grill. Snackology 101 Market offers gluten-free and organic snacks. Pizza lovers can stop by ATL Pizza Co. or Capital Crust Pizza, and those craving comfort food with a twist can grab a brisket grilled cheese at Hot Press Express or the spicy-sweet “Closed on Sunday” chicken sandwich from Chef Kevin Gillespie’s Gamechanger stand.

$2-hot-dogs, yes!

One of the standout features of Mercedes-Benz Stadium is its commitment to affordability without compromising quality. As part of its “Fan First” pricing model, the stadium offers surprisingly low prices on classic game day favorites, making it one of the most budget-friendly sports venues in the country. Fans can grab items like hot dogs, popcorn, and refillable soft drinks for just a few dollars, well below the national average for stadium concessions.
