Thanks to Christine, editor of FenwayFaithful.com for helping me prepare for my first Pawtucket Red Sox (triple-A) game.
Here's what she has to say about eating in and around McCoy Stadium...
The food at McCoy is not particularly impressive, mostly the usual ballpark fare. Nothing wrong with it, but nothing out of the ordinary, either.
I think they only have bratwurst and not the Italian sausages that other places serve; if they have Italian sausage, we couldn't find it. My husband usually gets a couple of burgers, I go for the Kayem hot dog and some fries. That's usually pretty good.
They also have personal pizzas from Papa Gino's. Plain or pepperoni, that's it. They're pretty good, if you like a thicker crust pizza.
For sweet stuff, there is the usual ice cream, fried dough, cotton candy, etc. There is also a "health food" stand, which I've never visited, it's someplace behind Section 1.
They serve beer and wine, most of the beer is the generic Bud Light, Coors Light, etc. But you can also find a stand, in the vicinity of Sections 5-6, that has Smithwick's (an Irish red ale) and Blue Moon (a Belgian-style wheat beer).Eating outside the ballpark: in my opinion, the area doesn't have much to offer in that regard. There's an Olive Garden in South Attleborough, MA, right near I-95. There's a place on Newport Ave called Spumoni's, which we tried once, and it was awful. If we go out after a game, we usually go to Chelo's on Newport Ave. It's a local RI chain, it's okay, and it is cheap.
