Oracle Arena Food Concessions

Because i’m too far from LA to watch a good game, I have to settle in this place called Roaracle. I don’t like it much. Too many food options. From banh mi to Kinder’s to the regular chicken tender and fries. It’s too noisy at times. I can barely hear myself think and yes, i think out loud.

I read the awful reviews here before my first ever trip to Oracle for a Warriors game. So I was prepared for the worst. I’ve been to AT&T Park and yes, food there is pretty good. But I’ve also been at other high-​volume events serving food, from banquets to big parties to sports events to festivals and buffets and so on (like many of you, I’m sure).
So I was shocked that I had no complaints at Oracle.
If you come here with foodie expectations, you are here for the wrong reason. Over the span of something like 2 hours, probably around 5,000−10,000 meals will be served, maybe more. You cannot expect all those to be made to order, fresh from the farm, and uniformly delicious.
I got two hot dogs from the Burger stand (I got two because a bunch of reviews said they were tiny, but they weren’t!!!), and garlic fries. My wife got nachos from The Nacho Bar. She loved the nachos, said they were one of the best she’s had. My dogs had mushier buns than Costco’s, but aside from being 5 times as expensive, not hugely different (taste or size). Two dogs were too much. Fries had been sitting a while but not objectionable.
Neither one of us had any complaint about the food. We were there for the game.
Yes $ 6 for water is outrageous; buy one drink, keep the cup, go to the bathroom to refill it with water. But $ 7 hot dogs are not way out of line with other facilities. $ 12 beers might be a little on the high side — that was for the Red Hook I got — but last I remember Sierra Nevada was about that at AT&T.
Bottom line: no problem here with the food. Know what you’re here for, and budget appropriately, or find alternatives. The service here does not deserve scorn, it’s in line with others, and better than some of the banquets, buffets, and social functions I’ve been to.

My daughter and I went to the Pizza Section and she ordered the Pepperoni pizza while I ordered the Chinese Chicken Salad Pizza along with a water and a soda. Total price:$ 31.75! Within an hour, my daughter felt sick. After we went home she threw up several times and did not sleep the whole night. I took her to urgent care and they diagnosed it as severe food poisoning due to the Pepperoni and prescribed nausea medication. I also developed a less severe form of food poisoning and was burping all day at work with some restroom problems. For the prices charged, this is totally not right. That is why I am speaking out.

The garlic fries with parsley wasn’t bad and I will would get it next time I watch another Warriors game. BUT the burger was horrible become the bun was left aside for a while after being toasted. And the meat was flavorless and the meat was poor quality. The burger was bland. The food here is expensive. Better try the Ribs n things and they have the Healthful Snack that features mixed green salad, Vietnamese noodle salad, some fresh juice, and some fruit bowls. But lowest price is $ 13.

FOOD: hot dog wasn’t bad. Chicken tenders sucked. Fries weren’t bad definitely garlicky! Souvenir cup is not glass like it looks in the picture. It’s plastic. And they don’t post all the pricing for their combo deals for some reason.
Red bull is available but they serve it to you in a cup. Weird they don’t let you have the can haha. I want my California redemption!
LINES: of course are long and I think they should move faster than they do. I think because they don’t prepare enough food ahead of time and have to make people wait. For example I got the last hot dog so people behind me would’ve had to wait ten minutes for a hot dog.
OVERALL: girl who helped me was super friendly and cheery. But the lines could’ve moved faster and prices are high which I know is normal but of course not good for my rating. Chicken tenders sucked.

Super expensive. I understand the need to make a profit, but wow $ 6 for a bottle of water. I really do not see the need to charge so much.
The coliseum charges $ 4 which still is excessive. $ 6 I mean really.
Oh and by the way…
Go Warriors

Even though I came in an hour before tip off, it was crazy busy in every food stand. Knowing that they always have typical hotdogs, chicken tenders, and fries, I decided I wanted to try something different and go on a hunt for the food that’s REALLY worth it. I think I did a decent job of finding some places worthy.
I went to Kinder’s BBQ and got the bbq tri tip sandwich. $ 14 for just the sandwich, so i suckered myself in and got fries cause I can’t just eat a sandwich with no side. It tasted OK, and doesn’t look appetizing, I should have tried the pulled pork instead.
My friend probably found the BEST spot to buy nachos. The stand is called «The Nacho Bar» and it comes loaded with nacho cheese, cilantro, chicken, guacamole, sour cream, jalepenos, and more crumbled cheese. I recommend getting this instead of the plain chips with nacho cheese.
We also bought the igloo slushie alcoholic drinks for $ 17 each. It may look small, but we both could not finish it. This drink is perfect for sharing.

I’m a Warriors season ticket holder and the food that is decent is limited. Plus, the food is pricey. I had some weird food here before though. One time I wanted to try something different and that was a big mistake. I got the stir fry with rice and beef. The beef did not taste like beef. I don’t know what it was.
The best food I’ve tried:
–Food Upstairs (Fried Shrimp, Wings, Cheese Fries that you can get with beef)
— Slam Dunk Nachos (Has chicken, sour cream, guacamole, salsa, cheese)
— Chicken tenders w/​garlic fries. (Sometimes the chicken tenders aren’t cooked right)

Ok. This isn’t about the age of the building, the parking prices, healthy food choices or the amount of booze in the mixed drinks. It’s solely about the food. Awful. Stale chips cold hard chicken and my hot dog was gray and mushy like a can of potted meat! Does anyone remember that stuff? Hey… it’s a sports venue. Not a daily eating establishment. But I do expect to be able to eat what I pay for and not have to throw it in the trash. Zero stars

Parking $ 35, for an open lot with a single gate in/​out, only CASH (go figure). Signage around the arena, we saw none!
Limited choices in food & beverage, that is way too expensive. Even more limited when we went to the Globe Trotters game — soda; candy or ice cream was all we saw for sale.
Few if any positives for the Arena other than the team that plays here. Not a surprise that the team is moving. The arena will be 50 years old next year, not sure it is worth saving.

Word of Advice: EAT BEFORE HAND
LOL…no seriously. I think a $$$ rating is a little exaggerated… but overall, the food here just SUCKS. Whether they decide to charge a $ 1, $ 10 or $ 100… Everything just tastes bland and reheated. If you’re on a diet or a healthy kick, you might as well not even bother. I don’t ever recall seeing any healthy options. Food here is super generic. I’m sure chicken tenders, wings, catfish, etc. are all premade and frozen. But if I’m paying premium pricing, I should get some quality! That’s my biggest gripe. I almost rather starve and grab something on the way home!
Alcohol wise… beers and drinks are $ 11-​$ 12 each. Again there’s so many people drinking in the parking lot and on the BART overpass, that you can definitely get a good buzz going before hand. The only reason I gave Oracle 2 stars is that they have Hennessy and some of the bartenders are SUPER GENEROUS with their pours.
Don’t expect an ATT Park food experience here! Eat before hand and enjoy the Warriors games, not the crappy food lol

Too bad one of my favorite teams, the Golden State Warriors, plays in one of the older arenas. Oracle has the standard stadium fare and not much else: burgers, dogs, nachos, etc. I do love nachos with the fake cheese, so that’s basically what I get every time.

*Blackened chicken nachos (no sour cream, extra jalapenos)
I can’t wait to see what they’ll have in their new arena in SF. Hopefully, I’ll get to choose from more than just the basics!

How far behind the times can you get? During last night’s Warriors game, I did not spot one healthy food or drink choice offered for sale at any price other than bottled water at $ 6. Where have these people been? The Bay Area dining experience is teeming with delicious, healthy fare as people come to realize that cheeseburgers, Philly cheesesteaks, sausages, and beer may lead to lifelong, health problems. In addition, many people in the Bay Area are vegetarians or vegans. Isn’t it sadly ironic that a world-​class venue where we watch superstar athletes display remarkable skills fails to offer customers at least one choice to help us sustain our own health and athleticism?

Not sure who the concessionaire is at Oracle. The Warriors are now the #1 or #2 ticket to have in the Bay Area in 2014 – 2015. To think that you cannot find a good quality craft beer in the Westside or East side club bars is absurd. Shock top, Bud, Bud light and Stella Artois? Seriously? The Bay Area is LOADED with great brewers. I went with a friend last night and his son. I bought the food for them. They ordered a «pulled turkey sandwich» for $ 13. It looked nasty. I passed on the food. They did serve Sierra Nevada at one bar off the court for $ 14. Gee thanks. When you compare the quality of food-​drinks here with say AT&T or SAP Center in San Jose, there is NO comparison. This place has sucked for years and continues to do so.

$ 8 for a cheeseburger. Kinda cold. Cheese wasn’t melted.

Outrageously overpriced for inexpensive food and beverage items. Yeah, I get they have to pay high salaries for the players, but still overpriced for garbage food/​drink.

The concession people were very nice and they had a good variety of food. We got nachos, hot dog, pretzel bun hamburger, and soft pretzels. The soda came in bottles so i did not have to juggle cups with lids i just threw the bottles in a bag they game me, and they put all the food in little boxes, it only took me to carry all the food.

The prices were high and the options were few. The drinks were on the light side and the concession lady offered to put ice in ny wine! Now I may not be a connoisseur of wine but I know that is what you don’t do…

When rules prevent patrons from bringing food in, healthy options should be offered. It’s bad business practice to charge outrageous prices for low quality «food». Monopoly shouldn’t equal abuse.

Chicken Nachos so good, yet so bad for you… sigh…
