    The Comerica Park Dining Guide

    By Jack Thomas,

    4 days ago

    With three stories and over 70,000 square feet of retail space Comerica Park can be a lot to navigate when you’re hungry and thirsty. To help you out, we did the food and drink “research” during an April game. Here are our top picks.

    Rookies

    This past March, Comerica Park unveiled new concepts that highlight Detroit’s local dining scene. Slows Bar BQ is serving its provisions in burrito form. Burritos go for $16 each and are quite substantial. To try, visit Slows Bar BQ Burritos at the Pitcher’s Pub on the Comerica Landing.

    Near the main gate across from section 114, James Beard-honored Marrow will occupy the Corner Tap Room all season long. Offerings include the Marrow Bacon Burger ($20) and grilled Andalucía sausage ($12) with meats from Marrow’s butcher shop, plus an extensive drinks list.

    In the Comerica Big Cat Court near section 138, the Detroit Water Ice Factory is serving up refreshing frozen favorites all season long. The dessert company was founded by local writer Mitch Albom, and all profits go to SAY Detroit , a charity that helps Detroiters in need.

    Pop-ups

    Comerica Park’s pop-ups take place every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (home games only), and vendors rotate monthly. This month, Detroit’s Yum Village will be serving up its renowned Afro-Caribbean fare. Next on deck in August is Ferndale’s seafood restaurant Voyager , a first-time vendor this season. Following in September is west-side Venezuelan eatery El Rey de las Arepas . Find them near section 116.

    Steals

    Every Tuesday this season, you can get a $3 hot dog,a $1 side of chips, and a 16-ounce fountain pop or water for $3 by visiting any of the Big League Grill locations, found in sections 108, 130, 143, 213, 325, 331, 339, and 343.

    Daily, all ticket holders, no matter the section, who arrive within an hour of opening can take advantage of the Miller Lite Home Run Happy Hour on the Comerica Landing. Miller Lite, Coors Light, and Topo Chico hard seltzers are $5; chips and peanuts are $3.

    Meatless pick

    The Nice Dreams burrito from Slows ($16) is made with plant-based chorizo.

    Our sandwich pick

    Nothing beats sweet heat. The Fat Rooster ($14) is a fried spicy chicken breast topped with pickles, coleslaw, and honey mayo on a sweet Hawaiian roll. Find The Fat Rooster near section 151.

    Our slider pitch

    Green Dot Stables has returned to the Meijer Market near section 143. Try favorites like the classic cheeseburger slider ($5) or, for about a dollar more, the rotating Mystery Meat special, plus tasty sides like the truffle fries or poutine ($6 each).

    For beer snobs

    Classic baseball game companions (Bud, Miller, and Coors) are widely available around the park. But if you want more than a light lager, visit Michigan Craft Beer by section 101. Find brands like Bell’s, Founders, and Atwater with drafts ranging from $14 to $15, while cans go for $12 to $13. The Beer Hall (behind section 133) and Marrow also offer a generous craft beer selection.

    For wine sippers

    Find wine by the glass ($16) or the carafe ($56) at the MotorCity Casino Hotel Off Ramp Bar behind sections 123 and 124. Wine can also be found at several stands, the Pitcher’s Pub on the Comerica Landing, Marrow , and the Beer Hall .

    Tiger fuel

    The frozen daiquiri comes in two sizes: regular ($15) and as a daiquiri bat ($25). Flavors include strawberry, blue raspberry, and Tiger Fuel (an orange flavor). Additional shots are $8. Daiquiris are served at the Daiquri window in the Comerica Big Cat Court and the Pitcher’s Pub . Looking for something freshly shaken? The Beer Hall offers signature cocktails .

    Baseball BBQ

    Bert’s Marketplace near section 133 serves up smoky delights like the rib platter and the Oh My God Burger (each is $20).

    Coney time

    There are a couple of places to grab the Detroit classic, including the National Coney Island window at the Comerica Big Cat Court ($8). The Beer Hall offers Coney fries ($12) and a Game Day Coney Combo ($18) with two dogs.
