What to Eat at Turner Field, Home of the Atlanta Braves

Image via WikiTravel

The end of Braves baseball at Turner Field may be drawing near, but the start of another season is here, and for now, the show goes on. Many of the more upscale dining options the Braves have sought to attract return this year, like Kevin Rathbun's steak sandwiches, which came to the Ted two seasons ago, and Holeman & Finch's burgers in quantities greater than 24. Waffle House is back as well, a mid-season debut last year that just maybe had a hand in a Braves winning streak and division title. New for 2014 are several outposts of Italian ice purveyor Rita's Water Ice; a rebranded Beer Island featuring SweetWater Brewing Company beverages; and a cart selling several flavors of Frozen Pints, the beer-based ice cream available for purchase only by those age 21 and over. In anticipation of opening day, here's a guide to what and where to eat at Turner Field.

Turner Field's Five Standouts

H&F Burger: Three H&F Burger stands can be found in Turner Field. There is one behind home plate and one each on either side of the Fan Plaza, in left and right field. There will also be 24 branded H&F Burger Outfield Pavilion seats, which come with a guaranteed burger and a "fast pass" to the front of the expected line. Details.

Kevin Rathbun Steak Sandwich: Kevin Rathbun's steak sandwiches made their way to to the stadium last season. Find them in section 205, selling only the $15 sliced sirloin sandwich served with horseradish cream.

Frozen Pints: The Frozen Pint's cart at section 118 offers five flavors of craft beer-based ice cream like Peach Lambic and Malted Milk Chocolate Stout. Beer is the number one ingredient, so only those of legal drinking age can indulge.

Waffle House: The only Waffle House not open around the clock, waffles here come standard or with chocolate chips or peanut butter. Have your hash browns with cheese, onions, chili, and more, just like you might at any other location of Atlanta's iconic greasy spoon.

The Braves Chop House: The Restaurant: This restaurant, covering sections 143-149, has a bigger variety than most of the other options here. Here you can get classic pub fare, pizza, and much more. Recently renovated, the menu now also includes new items like smoked pulled pork nachos and smoked cheddar sausage grinders.
