The food inside Lumen Field and neighboring T-Mobile Park gets better every year; the latter even allows takeout. Seattle's stadium district has the requisite beer-bucket sports bars, but also plenty of great bars and restaurants that beckon to anybody looking to meet up with a group, or just avoid paying $20 for a Bud Light and some loaded fries.
Most game-oriented destinations lie north of the stadiums in Pioneer Square. To the south, in SoDo, sandwiches and pizza balance out the preponderance of fast-food chains. Some people prefer arriving through Chinatown–International District, to the east. Navigating the train track tangle that separates the dumplings from the defensive tackles can be a pain, but a wealth of great food awaits, depending on how far you want to walk.

Saigon Drip Cafe
Fast casual and friendly, this (takeout-friendly) Vietnamese spot exceeds expectations all day long. “Croissant mi” breakfast sandwiches come stuffed with a fried egg, maybe some spam, and banh mi fixings; the rest of the day’s menu—pho, banh mi, vermicelli bowls, a happy hour menu—is consistently solid. But it’s especially hard to resist the banh mi drip, a loaded-up brisket sandwich that comes with a sidecar of broth for dipping.

An oyster bar feels like a very PNW pre-game destination.

Rojo's Mexican Food
The entire menu of enormous burritos and petite street-style tacos is entirely vegan—but that’s almost beside the point. Rojo’s makes good use of faux meat in its asada, carnitas (probably the best protein in the house), chick’n, and al pastor. The address on James (the former Il Corvo) is handy for a pre-game meal, though the foil-wrapped burritos can be toted into a Mariners game; it’s also big enough to feed two people.

The former Altstadt and South of Mill has morphed, slightly, into a lunch (and brunch) and dinner spot with a mega accessible menu and a focus on accommodating big groups and folks headed to the stadiums.

Paseo
The current ownership of this beloved sandwich shop added a spacious outpost south of the stadiums has a counter service interior built to handle crowds, plus an outdoor space full of picnic tables. Hearty Caribbean sandwiches are deeply compatible with brisk fall game days and tropical cocktails help take the edge off chilly temperatures.

E-Jae Pak Mor's familiar dishes like khao soi, beef noodle soup, and khao mun gai deserve just as much attention as its signature dumplings.

E-Jae Pak Mor
Labor-intensive pak mor dumplings star on the menu at this casual (but stellar) Thai counter across from Uwajimaya. They’re great, but the khao soi and spicy beef noodle soup can also fortify you against the chill of an outdoor stadium seat.

Dough Zone is good at processing crowds, and warming you from the inside with soup dumplings.
