That’s kinda crazy to me honestly. Feels like stuff you see in mall food courts whenever I go. I preferred BB&T Center (or whatever they call it now) the couple times I went there for food

Absolutely not. At least not on the club level. We used to have poke bowls and carved meat station but those are gone. The chicken sandwich is an orange Cheeto disaster, the pizza is a tiny flatbread, the sliders are a lot of bread and not much meat. It’s embarrassing to take a client to the 200s and then have to walk them to a completely different level to get PDQ or pizza or shrimp or whatever.
Florida panthers have a *lot* better food, service speed (because of the process not a personnel issue), and plenty of seating.

Ah yes the famous Lobster Rolls of Amalie arena, people just cannot stop talking about those.

Been going to Amelie forever. I always eat first. That says everything.

IDK I don’t normally have a good experience getting food at Amalie. It’s either ice cold or it takes forever. I was the first one in line for a philly cheesesteak one time right when the arena opened. It was Ice Cold. How is the first sandwich of the day ice cold? How long was it sitting there for? lmao. I usually just hit the greenwise publix on the way in now.

Who did they pay to top this list? The food at Amalie is horrible.
And I don’t just mean the selection. The food they prepare is crappy too. Consistently hard ‘soft’ pretzels, three-cheese grilled cheese that only has like half a piece of waxy cheese on it. Stale popcorn. Poutine with lukewarm fries, three curds and half a ladle of gravy that burns your mouth.

No

The food is pretty good but it isn’t a good value. Of course that is par for the course at an arena. I head to Sparkman’s Wharf before the game

The food lines are all way too long and very mid.
With water street way better restaurants to hit before. Hats, Yeomans, District Tavern are good too.

I guess I’m alone but I think the food is pretty good for stadium food. I haven’t been to many NHL arenas, but compared to the food at other sports I think it’s good. Of course it’s not a good value but either is food anywhere you are held captive.

If they mean stopping at Hattricks before the game, they are correct

I’m only a Lightning fan, I love Amelie too, but like the bell center and Capitol one crush us in food. Our Cuban sandwiches aren’t even that good

I got food poisoning from a hot dog once but I should’ve eaten something else with all the options. It’s good stadium food otherwise
StrawHatCook
Nah. It’s better than Ray Jay and the Trop.

2nd food floor is shit. Channel Club food is always cold, even right at their opening time. I give it all a ‘D’ at best.

It used to be amazing. XO Club buffet used to be lit. Meat stations galore!

When I was just at the game where Lilleberg had his first game at Amalie I went to this taco food truck on a street corner like 1km from the arena and it was good authentic Mexican food 10/10 and it was a filling meal for 15$ (12$ + tip)

Amalie holy hog bbq nachos is #1. I dream about it. Chase club and vip both have great food. So YES

Amalie Arena has decent food but nothing beats the hot dogs at the Molson Centre in Montréal 😋

I had some shrimp pasta in chase club one time that was off the chain for stadium food
