We started the night being taken to our table, which had a great view of the field. Our waitress took our drink order and we walked up to check out what was being served. There is a full bar if you decide you want something with a little more kick to it than water and coffee.
Common features of the buffet include a soup and salad station, carving station with a selection of side dishes, a wide array of cheese and crackers, more traditional ballpark fare, and a dessert station.
Below are pictures and reviews for the menu on 4/15/16. Each evening features different selections but this should give you a flavor of what is available.

The soup and salad bar was decorated with some very fancy salads as well as a classic Caesar Salad. The French Onion soup was extremely tasty and very thick with lots of onions. No Campbell’s Soup here folks, it was made fresh that day.

The Fresh pasta (and it is fresh and made daily at Petco Park) was fabulous. The meat was tender and the noodles were cooked to perfection. It wasn’t dried out and didn’t taste like it had been sitting there for hours. There is a chef right there, keeping it fresh all evening.

We decided to try the duck patties. It looked and tasted great – it was very rich – as is typically the case with duck.

The Pretzel Spaetzle was extremely tasty and brought back memories of eating at terrific German restaurants.

The carved meats vary from visit to visit. We have had turkey, roast beef ,and pork and all have been delicious. Don’t walk past this area without grabbing a slice of what is on the block for the evening.

Naturally, no ball game would be complete without the classic hot dog. They are freshly cooked and aren’t boiled, but grilled right there for you to grab. These hot dogs were by far the best we have found it Petco Park and are a must eat. This particular station also featured make your own nachos.

You want desserts? Well, you have a very nice of selection of different pastries, cookies, and chocolate covered strawberries. All of samples were terrific!!
All in all, a great spread and a great experience but not “tight budget” option.
