Citizens Bank Park isn’t just home to the Phillies — it’s a culinary diamond in the rough, blending ballpark classics with South Philly flair. But at the end of the day, what’s truly worth the walk (or the usual inning‑stretch line)? Here’s my take on the top-tier eats at The Bank in no particular order.
Bull’s BBQ
Named for Phillies legend Greg “The Bull” Luzinski, this outdoor barbecue pit is a homerun for flavor seekers. Pulled pork, smoked turkey, burnt‑ends cheesesteaks, ribs, kielbasa “Bull Dogs,” and all the classic sides.
Chickie’s & Pete’s Crabfries
Iconic for a reason — spicy, crinkle‑cut fries smothered in cheddar sauce. It’s philly pride and arguably the most legendary side at CBP.
Campo’s / Uncle Charlie’s Cheesesteaks
Two quality cheesesteak options, but slightly different spins.
- Campo’s: A longtime Philly staple, offering classic beef and chicken cheesesteaks plus the spicy “Heater”.
- Uncle Charlie’s: A newer tribute to Charlie Manuel, with smoked ribeye, Cooper Sharp cheese — one of the most fragrant and delicious steaks in the park.
1883 Burger Co.
Fresh (never frozen) ribeye‑short rib blend burgers, jumbo Phillies Franks, and boardwalk fries — all on Liscio’s buns. A modern fan favorite that honors the Phillies’ founding year.
Federal Donuts
This isn’t your typical ballpark fare: hand‑battered, twice‑fried chicken tenders paired with fresh mini‑donuts. Sweet, savory, and satisfying in every.
Manco & Manco Pizza
Take a little Jersey Shore with you — personal-sized thin-crust pizzas, ideal for sharing mid‑game.
Elevated Desserts & Sides
- P.J. Whelihan’s Tater Tots: American cheese, bacon, and savory comfort in tot form.
- S’mores Quesadilla, truly becoming a fan favorite.

Honorary Mentions
- Shake Shack: Classic American burgers and crinkle fries.
- South Philly Disco Fries: Disco fries with roast pork, broccoli rabe.
Bottom Line
There’s undeniable charm in ballpark hot dogs and nachos, but CBP sets itself apart by showcasing South Philadelphia roots, celebrity-endorsed BBQ, iconic crabfries, cheesesteaks done right, and creative desserts. It’s a stadium that respects culinary tradition while embracing foodie ingenuity.
So, next time you enter Citizens Bank Park, skip the generic, follow the scent of smoked meats, South Philly spices, and fried dough — and treat your taste buds to a real taste of Philly.
Because at CBP, the real flavor lies far beyond the seventh-inning stretch.
