Sweet Spot
You go to a ballgame to eat hot dog, drink a beer, and maybe have some ice cream.
This year, all of those get an upgrade at Great American Ball Park.

The Cincinnati Reds and foodservice and retail partner Delaware North have made some delicious additions to GABP.
“We have a wide variety of new items for the 2023 season – with an emphasis on regional flavors and products,” said Andy Worden, Delaware North’s general manager at Great American Ball Park. “From tried-and-true ballpark classics to flavors that are quintessentially Cincinnati, we want to be sure Great American Ball Park is a foodie experience with something for everyone.”
Chick-fil-A® makes its debut at Great American Ball Park, with a limited menu for Opening Day, and additional items added in May, including Chick-fil-A Nuggets, Spicy Chicken Sandwich and Chick-fil-A Waffle Potato Fries, when the Chick-fil-A concession stand opens near Gapper’s Alley.
Burger lovers will want to sample The Big Cheese – an all-beef burger topped with pimento cheese, bacon, crispy onions and pickles, available in Scouts Alley and Grill & Fry Stand and the Kansas Burger from 50 West – two house-ground beef patties topped with American cheese, bacon, pickles, coleslaw and barbecue sauce, served on a potato bun with crinkle-cut fries.
The Montgomery Inn Smokehouse has a new Smoked Porkloin Sandwich, topped with pickled jalapenos, onions, cucumbers and barbecue sauce, all served on a brioche bun.

Other bar options are Bud Light Nutrl, Bud Light, Budweiser, Hudy Delight, Hoop Tea, Kona, Cut Water, Michelob Ultra, Woodbridge Wines, Makers Mark, Jim Beam Cocktails and Hornitos Cocktails.
