Best Food and Drink at Lumen Field
Din Tai Fung
Chinese food may not be a common concession at most sports stadiums, but once you try Din Tai Fung, you’ll understand why it’s a stadium favorite.

Emma’s BBQ
Craving something from down south? Get some delicious barbecue from Emma’s BBQ, a local restaurant that doles out some of the best barbecue in Seattle. The menu at the stadium is more limited than the full one at the restaurant. But don’t worry, what it has is great. Make a difficult choice between the pulled pork sandwich and the BBQ chicken sandwich. And of course, don’t leave without grabbing an indulgent bowl of mac and cheese.
District Market (Walk Out Market)
Amazon’s “just walk out” technology is in just about every sports stadium in Seattle now. It’s a great way to save your time and sanity when getting food! The District Market has this tech, so it’s a good place to go if you want to buy a few things in a hurry.
Some of the selections at the District Market include basic stadium goods like hot dogs, chips, beer, and cotton candy. Certain walk-off markets in the stadium carry food like crab rangoon and hot and sour soup.
Cooka T’s Kitchen
Lumen Field’s dedicated vegan food option is Cooka T’s Kitchen. If you have dietary restrictions or just prefer to eat plant-based, this concession stand has several options to choose from. Order flavorful, plant-based nachos with beyond meat, chickpeas, and harissa-spiced cheese sauce. Or try a black rice and jackfruit curry, or mac and cheese with ayam spiced cheese sauce.

Ivar’s has been around for many years, and this local restaurant is known throughout the state for its exceptional seafood dishes. At Lumen Field, you can get some of the most popular items at Ivar’s. Try out the crispy fish and chips or order its delicious and creamy clam chowder. One other can’t-miss item from the menu at Ivar’s? The ever-popular garlic fries.
Kidd Valley
One of the other places you’ll get some of Lumen Field’s coveted garlic fries is Kidd Valley. This local chain is owned by Ivar’s but the menu has a different focus. At Kidd Valley, you’ll find tasty American favorites like burgers and chicken tenders. If garlic isn’t your jam, you can grab regular fries here too.
PNW Grill
Go to PNW Grill for some fun stadium food options. One of the most exciting and new menu items at Lumen Field is at PNW Grill. You’ll definitely want to try the Bulgogi hotdog. This Korean-inspired hotdog is served with kimchi pickles and a spicy aioli sauce.

Lumen Field Rules on Bringing in Outside Food and Drink
Concession food in any stadium can be pricey. Luckily, Lumen Field allows attendees to bring in outside food and drink. If you’re trying to cut down on costs while attending a football or soccer game, this is the way to go!
The outside food and drink policy allows attendees to bring in food from outside as long as it’s in a clear plastic bag. You can also bring in a pizza in a pizza box. Keep in mind that the food must be a single serving.
Outside drinks are more limited. You can bring in a factory-sealed bottle of water or soft-sided, unopened containers like a juice box. No outside alcohol or other drinks are allowed in Lumen Field.
Many places in the surrounding neighborhood have excellent food and drinks.

Lumen Field is right next to the ballpark, so the choices work for both sports stadiums.
