New Camden Yards Food Options Exclude Certain Dietary Preferences
Camden Yards has added a premium dining space and new menu items for the season. At an Orioles media preview on Tuesday, team officials unveiled the Truist Club.
The club occupies the former press box behind home plate. The 40-game plan for that space costs roughly $15,000.
Plan holders will receive a complimentary dining experience being developed by the team. Details are still being finalized.
Club level changes and overall food strategy
The regular club level on Level 2 will offer exclusive dishes. Daniel Doyle of Brick & Whistle Food Co. will oversee many menu items.
Levy Restaurants’ hospitality team is also involved. The club menus include collaborations with visiting chefs.
Examples include a Japanese-inspired cheesesteak and elevated takes on Baltimore desserts. The $4 value menu introduced last year returns.
A pretzel stick has been added to that lineup. Beers will cost about $6.50.
Doyle says he manages offerings from basic snacks to high-end items. Local vendors remain part of the ballpark food mix.

Main concourse highlights
B’more Yak
B’more Yak is available at the Eutaw Street Butchery by Gate A. The dish plays on yakamein with a dark soy-based sauce.
It comes with thinner carryout-style noodles, grilled shrimp, onions, and hot dog slices. A hard-boiled egg is included, with a marinated white and a drier yolk.
Baltimore Banana Pudding
Charm City Chicken Shacks near Sections 15, 65 and 79 will sell the banana pudding. It uses a cookie crumb base made from graham and Biscoff.
House-made banana pudding tops the crumbs and mixes some of the crumbs into the pudding. The dessert is offered as a cold alternative to ice cream.
Crab Smash Tacos
Baltimore Seafood House in Section 5 on the lower concourse serves the Crab Smash Tacos. Crab cakes are pressed into corn tortillas and grilled a la plancha.
The order comes with a deep red crab consommé for dipping and a cilantro-lime crema. The consommé adds concentrated seafood flavor. Doyle suggested the tacos might land around $25, but no price is fixed.
The Big Scrap Burger
The Bleacher Grill off Eutaw Street offers the Big Scrap Burger. It pairs two smashed beef patties and American cheese with a fried scrapple patty.
Toppings include lettuce, onions, pickles, and a house brick sauce. The combination leans heavy on meat and rich flavors.
Club-level specialties
Kat’s Japanese Cheesesteak
At the All-Star Kitchen near Sections 214 and 256, chef Katsuya Fukushima presents a Japanese-style cheesesteak. Thinly sliced beef is simmered in a sweet soy-dashi broth.
The sandwich is built on a toasted sesame roll with Kewpie mayo, pickled beni shoga, and ichimi togarashi. The preparation emphasizes soft textures and a sweeter marinade.
Sweet Graffiti Desserts
Near Section 234, pastry chef Romina Peixoto brings two signature treats. The Baltimore Fudge Cookie recalls the Berger cookie with a fluffier, cakelike base and chocolate fudge topping.
The Mallomar reimagines an alfajor filled with dulce de leche, then encases it in marshmallow and chocolate. Both desserts reflect Peixoto’s pastry influences from New York and Argentina.
Filmogaz.com sampled several items at the media preview. Prices for most new dishes have not been finalized.
Some fans say New Camden Yards Food Options Exclude Certain Dietary Preferences. Many new dishes emphasize seafood, meat, and dairy, which may limit choices for vegetarians and some other diners.
Still, the $4 menu and the slate of local vendors remain available across the ballpark. Expect more details as the season progresses.
