Let the People Decide: Voting on the Best Ballpark Bites at GABP
As Opening Day draws near, the excitement in Cincinnati isn’t just about the crack of the bat or the roar of the crowd—it’s about the food. That’s right. Ballpark eats have become just as much a part of the baseball experience as peanuts and Cracker Jack. This year, Great American Ball Park (GABP) is stepping up its game in a big way with an exciting lineup of new culinary creations. And we want to know: Which ballpark food reigns supreme?
To settle the debate once and for all, we launched the Red's Ballpark Food Bracket—a fan-driven, tournament-style poll where you can vote for your favorite eats at GABP. From the iconic Skyline Cheese Coney to new showstoppers like the 50 West Soft Pretzel Double Cheeseburger, this is your chance to crown the true MVP of the concession stand.
And the timing couldn’t be better. GABP has rolled out some serious contenders this season. Consider the Redlegs BBQ Walking Taco, a bold collaboration between Grippo’s and Montgomery Inn that piles pulled pork, BBQ sauce, and coleslaw onto Saratoga-style chips. Or the Big Mozz Chicken Parm Sandwich, a hearty fusion of crispy chicken, mozzarella sticks, and marinara on a hoagie roll. You’ll find the Goetta Reuben Sliders putting a local twist on a deli classic, and the Street Tacos—with options like brisket, chicken adobo, and carne asada—bringing global flavors to the ballpark.
These aren’t just novelty items—they’re a sign of how ballpark dining has evolved. What used to be about choosing between a hot dog or nachos is now a genuine culinary experience. GABP has recognized that good food makes a good game even better. It's a way to bring fans together, to celebrate local flavor, and to turn a trip to the ballpark into something unforgettable, even if the score doesn’t go our way.
This poll isn’t just about bragging rights. It’s about celebrating the creativity of GABP’s food scene and giving fans a voice. By voting, you’re helping shape the food culture at Reds games—and maybe even inspiring new creations in the seasons to come. Because if there’s one thing we know, it’s that Reds fans are passionate, opinionated, and never shy about sharing what they love.
So head over to the Red’s Ballpark Food Bracket, cast your vote, and help us decide what dish deserves to be called the king of the concessions. Whether you're a traditionalist who swears by LaRosa’s pizza or you're ready to anoint the Red’s Island Griller as the future of ballpark fare, your vote counts.
Great American Ball Park is serving up more than baseball this year. It’s serving up a food experience that’s worthy of a championship. Let’s dig in—and vote.
