WHAT TO EAT IN AND AROUND FENWAY PARK, HOME OF THE BOSTON RED SOX
Baseball season is upon us again, and with baseball season come ubiquitous Fenway Franks, overpriced beer, and plenty of soft serve within Fenway Park. Outside the stadium, there’s a bustling neighborhood packed with old standbys and newer hotspots. Read on for dining information in and outside of the stadium, and check out this page for an archive of all Fenway-related dining news.
Inside Fenway Park
From Fenway Franks to twists of soft serve, the park is once again stocked with classic ballpark food for another season. But scroll onwards for some new concessions added to the roster in 2024, plus a few local restaurants making an appearance for the first time in the stadium this year.
Food
- Irish Nachos: What are Irish Nachos, you ask? First, start with a bed of waffle fries. Then, add corned beef, sauerkraut, sour cream, Thousand Island dressing, and queso fresco. You’ll need extra napkins for this one. Home Plate, Gate E Concessions, and Truly Terrace
- Chicken and waffle bowl: A brunch staple, reimagined for the ballpark. This is an edible waffle bowl filled with mashed potatoes, gravy, popcorn chicken, and scallions. Truly Terrace
- Togarashi clam roll: A hot dog roll stuffed with fried clam strips and a Napa cabbage slaw, then finished off with a togarashi spice mix and sauce. Truly Terrace
- Boston creme pie: The stadium is adding one of the city’s most iconic desserts to its food roster this season. It’s a vanilla sponge cake with pastry cream, chocolate ganache, and chocolate crispearls, served in a jar. The Big Concourse, Center Field
- Churro Churro: This is a new dessert brand from Aramark, the national food services company that fuels the dining options at Fenway Park. As the name suggests, head here for churros and chocolate dipping sauce. Right Field Concourse
- One-pound giant cookie: Chow down on a gigantic, one-pound chocolate chip cookie while watching the game. (They have regular, 8-ounce chocolate chip cookies at this concessions stand, too.) The Big Concourse, Center Field
Restaurants added to the park this year
- Anna’s Taqueria: A local favorite for tacos, quesadillas, and burritos with seven locations around the city is adding one more spot inside Fenway Park. They’ll be serving burritos and bowls in the stands. Bleachers, Section 42
- Luke’s Lobster: The Maine-based seafood chain is bringing its signature lobster rolls to Fenway Park this season. Right Field Concourse
- Aramark restaurant brands Tenders, Love, and Chicken and The Burger Kitchen have also been added to the park’s restaurant roster this year, serving fried chicken and burgers, respectively. The Big Concourse at Right Field
Outside Fenway Park
The neighborhood is teeming with grab-and-go lunch spots, sports bars, and a few swanky dinner spots for before or after the game. Find a selection of places to check out below, and click over to separate guides for sports bars and dining around the Fenway neighborhood for even more options.
- Bleacher Bar: On the site of the former away team’s batting cage, it’s situated under the bleachers with a view of the field (limited during games — a glass garage door comes down), but no game ticket is required, so this is a good way to be inside Fenway without paying the big bucks. Enter on Lansdowne Street. The menu is mostly focused on sandwiches, along with some typical comfort food snacks. Open year-round. 82A Lansdowne Street
- Cask ‘n Flagon: Fenway’s quintessential sports bar, right in the heart of the action, where it’s been for over 50 years. There’s plenty of comfort food, including burgers, barbecue, and more. 62 Brookline Avenue
- The Sausage Guy: A just-outside-of-Fenway-Park icon. Swing by the cart for sausages and hot dogs before heading inside the stadium. 49 Lansdowne Street
- El Pelon: Eat tacos, burritos, enchiladas, and more at this popular taqueria on Fenway’s “Restaurant Row.” 92 Peterborough Street
- Regina Pizzeria: It’s not the original (head to the North End for that one), but it’s still pretty darn good. 1330 Boylston Street
- Hojoko: A funky hotel restaurant that takes its cues from a Japanese izakaya, serving sushi, ramen, and crispy karaage chicken alongside a very fun sake and Japanese whisky list. 1271 Boylston Street
