We paid $8.50 for a brisket sandwich that seemed reasonable at first, but it turned out to be small with very little meat. The $7.00 poutine was cold, with unmelted cheese and a gravy that was more gooey than appetizing. We definitely won’t be eating here again.

The menu is limited, but the food is definitely a step above typical game day options. I had the brisket sandwich on ciabatta for $9.50, and my child enjoyed the mini donuts for $3.50. The brisket was well-prepared with no complaints, though $10 feels a bit steep given the improving food choices at games lately. A little extra horseradish would have made it outstanding. The donuts were more like pieces of dough on a stick served with Nutella, costing nearly a dollar each. While I understand it’s stadium food, there are better options emerging. In the US, you can find amazing food at sporting events, but overall, it’s nice to see some creativity brought to the games.
