Petco Park Food, Rated

Two scores on every item: ours and the crowd’s. Ours means somebody from Bleacher Bound ordered the thing and finished it. We have been to Petco Park, so where a score is missing here it is because we have not gotten to that item yet, not because we have not been through the gate.

Carne asada fries and Negihama Sushi are on the list below, along with more from around the ballpark. Rate anything you have actually eaten.
