At the 2026 U.S. Open, the priciest part of your day might not be the ticket.
Once you step through the gates at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, the real test begins at the concession stands, where the menu reads like a luxury tasting list with a New York markup. Front Office Sports' Stadium Eats pulled back the curtain on some of the standout items, and they land with the thud of a well-struck serve on your bank balance.
Menu Highlights
- Start with the $39.50 lobster roll. That’s not a typo. It sits near the top of the food chain, a premium seaside staple transported courtside and priced like it.
- Nearby, a $38 French dip sandwich offers a different kind of indulgence, rich and hearty but hardly a budget option.
- Then there are the headliners: $100 caviar nuggets, the kind of item that turns a snack run into a statement.
The drinks menu leans into the spectacle as well. The tournament has rolled out a new cocktail, the Moët Serve, poured into a custom cup designed to look like a tennis ball can. It’s part beverage, part souvenir, and very much on brand for a Grand Slam that leans into its status as a New York event.
One tradition remains untouched. The signature Honey Deuce, long a fan favorite and a staple of late-summer evenings in Queens, is still very much in play. For many regulars, it’s as much a part of the U.S. Open as the night sessions and the roars from Arthur Ashe Stadium.
For all the high-end flair, not every trip to the counter has to feel like a luxury splurge. Away from the caviar and champagne, there’s still plenty of traditional fare scattered around the grounds, giving fans a chance to refuel without treating every order like a major financial decision.
At this U.S. Open, the tennis will be elite—and so, unmistakably, will the tab.
