With major league baseball set to start in two weeks, Braves’ Truist Park revealed the latest additions to the game-day grub lineup available during the 2025 season.
Up first is a closer look at the new Outfield Market, a food hall with eight restaurant stalls launching in tandem with the Braves’ April 4 home opener against the Miami Marlins.
Easily accessible to baseball fans at the Chop House Gate, Outfield Market’s vendors will offer pared-down, bleacher-friendly takes on popular dishes found at the full-sized versions of the restaurants, with a few exclusive specials only available at the food hall.
To select the food stalls for Outfield Market, the Braves organization reached out to a few restaurants and asked others to submit requests to join the food hall via an open call at the end of last year. The latter included Atlanta-based Sugar Shane’s, whose owners followed up this year after initially connecting with Truist Park back in 2021.
“[The Braves] were looking for some good local partners and we were just thrilled to be asked and to be a part of it,” Fred’s Meat & Bread co-owner, Ben Johnson, told Rough Draft during a media preview of the food hall.
Additional Atlanta restaurants at Outfield Market include NFA Burger, Pepper’s Hotdogs, and Taqueria Tsunami.
Check out the full restaurant stall lineup for Outfield Market below:
Coop’s Wings
Atlanta sports fans are already familiar with Coop’s Champion Chicken, which has an outpost at Truist Park. At the Outfield Market location, the focus is on wings and a rotating selection of sauces such as hot honey, lemon pepper wet, sweet tea, and Coca-Cola barbecue.
This Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant is no stranger to Truist Park — the Outfield Market outpost joins Fred’s locations at Top of the Chop and the Blue Moon Beer Garden. The food hall stall from Fred’s sticks to cheesesteaks, just like the Blue Moon location.

Giving Kitchen will handle things a bit differently at Outfield Market, highlighting local chefs each month. However, representatives from Giving Kitchen told Rough Draft that they can’t share further information at this time on those potential chefs. In partnership with the Atlanta Braves and the Atlanta Braves Foundation, a portion of the proceeds from Giving Kitchen’s chef stall will directly benefit food service workers in crisis.
Rather than one large burger, NFA Burger will offer three “NFA Minis” topped with pickles, mustard, cheese, and spicy sauce. “The idea is to do something unique for this part of the ballpark,” said NFA Burger owner Billy Kramer. “We want you to have a taste of what we do, [not] just come to the ballpark and eat.”
Baseball and hot dogs are inseparable — luckily, Outfield Market patrons will have access to some of Atlanta’s best hot dogs, courtesy of Tarina Hodges and her pop-up, Pepper’s. Hodges conceptualized the location-specific ATL Dawg, which comes topped with carrot and celery pickles, blue cheese, ranch dressing, Cajun hot sauce, and lemon pepper. “I think this [hot dog] is a perfect representation of Atlanta,” Hodges said.
Marietta-based Taqueria Tsunami will offer crispy wonton nacho plates topped with barbecue short rib, queso, lettuce, and pico de gallo.
The Sweet Spot
This sugar-centric stall is a quadruple-whammy, offering Mayfield ice cream, Mo’Bay beignets and dipping sauce, caramel and rainbow popcorn from Popcorn Remix, and cookies from Sugar Shane’s. Expect rotating flavors from each vendor. Pro tip: don’t sleep on Mo’Bay’s cinnamon dipping sauce!
Velvet Taco’s spicy chicken tikka taco gets a stadium-friendly update, incorporating fried chicken tenders rather than rotisserie chicken.
An open-air cocktail bar called the Closer’s Bar will also debut on April 4 inside the Chop House gate entrance near the Coors Light Chop House.
Outfield Market will be the second food hall at Battery Atlanta, albeit it’s only accessible to Braves ticket holders. Ph’east food hall at Battery Atlanta features a full bar and six restaurant stalls serving everything from poke and ramen to Thai dishes and bubble tea.
Last year, a location of Sandy Springs gaming restaurant and bar Battle and Brew opened beside Ph’east. Shake Shack from restaurateur Danny Meyer will open at Battery Atlanta in 2025 in the former Wahlburgers space and include a full bar. Walk-On’s Sports Bistreaux opens this summer in the former Mac McGee’s space across from Battle and Brew.
Other local restaurants at Battery Atlanta include the Garden and Gun Club, El Super Pan, C. Ellet’s, Superica, Antico Pizza, H&F Burger, and Cultivate Food and Coffee.
