Where to Eat at CenturyLink Field, Home of the Seattle Seahawks and Sounders

Whether fans prefer NFL football or MLS fútbol, CenturyLink Field, the shared home of the Seattle Seahawks and the Seattle Sounders, is an impressive place to watch sports. The venue has steadily stepped up its food game as well, adding some heavy hitters to the lineup for the 2019-20 NFL season. From barbecue to Thai to tacos, there should be something for every fan craving. Below, Eater breaks down the stadium’s noteworthy gameday destinations.

We’ve noted the new food offerings for the Seahawks season with an asterisk (*). Note that a few of these new concessions, including Taco Time and Pecos Pit BBQ, will not be open during Sounders home games. A rep for CenturyLink Field explains that this is due to the difference in event sizes.

Beardslee Public House

Items from renowned chef John Howie’s upscale Bothell, WA, pub and brewery (sections 204, 240) stay true to the old-fashioned tailgate with cheeseburgers, ultimate bacon burgers, pretzels with gouda sauce, french fries, beer-battered onion rings, and mushroom brie burgers. Locations also feature craft beers from the well-respected Beardslee brand.

John Howie Restaurants

Beecher's Mac and Cheese

This is usually a fan favorite on a cold CenturyLink Sunday: bubbly, melty, and hot, and without the Pike Place lines? Beecher's is found in sections 305 and 335.

Best of Pioneer Square and the International District

More local favorites make an appearance in section 323: Thai Curry Simple’s Thai basil chicken, Pho Cyclo’s pho-stuffed burrito, and a pork belly sandwich with firefly kimchi, pickled vegetables, and mirin lime aioli.

Brougham Beer Hall

The selection here in section 128 is small but indulgent: loaded tater tots, various local beer and wine, and kettle corn.

Cantina

A riff on the Tom Douglas restaurant, Cantina slings street tacos, a fiesta bowl, and nachos in section 339.

Last season, Ezell’s Famous Chicken was stuffed between two waffles. This year, it’s being served between biscuits and drenched in gravy. Either way, it’s hard to go wrong (126, 321).
