Attending a Clippers game at the new Intuit Dome is an exciting experience, and the food options make it even better.
We spent $71.50 exploring the available choices to help you decide what to try. But first, a major question a lot of people might have:
How Does Intuit Dome Charge You for Food?
Intuit Dome is completely cashless, and they’ve designed their system to make getting food as fast as possible.
Instead of waiting in long lines, you either scan, grab, and go or enjoy the VIP all-you-can-eat lounge if you have access.
Here’s how the standard payment system works:
- Download the Intuit Dome app and create an account.
- Add your payment method (credit card, Apple Pay, etc.).
- Set up Game Face ID—this links your face to your payment method for seamless entry and transactions.
- To buy food at the grab-and-go markets, just walk in, grab what you want, and walk out—the system tracks your selection and charges your account automatically.
- If you don’t want to use Game Face ID, you can tap your credit card at the entry gates before shopping.
It’s designed to be fast and efficient, though some might find the face-scanning tech a little futuristic.
But what if you don’t want to pay per item and just want to eat everything?
That’s where the VIP all-you-can-eat experience comes in. (check out the 2nd half of this post)
Hot Dogs and Churros
The bacon-wrapped hot dog is a must-try. It’s loaded with grilled onions, jalapeños, ketchup, mustard, and mayo.
The combination of flavors is delicious, and it’s comparable to the ones sold by street vendors. The churros, served with caramel sauce, are a sweet treat.
Some might prefer them without the sauce for a less sweet taste (like us).
Koreatown Fried Chicken and Waffle Fries
The fried chicken is tender and moderately juicy, but timing is key.
If it sits too long, the crispiness fades. The waffle fries are best enjoyed hot; otherwise, they can become dry.
Sushi Dog
For something different, try the spicy tuna sushi dog. It’s a unique blend of sushi flavors in a convenient form. However, the rice is served cold, which might not appeal to everyone.
Burgers
The double smash burger is well-seasoned and comes with plenty of cheese and pickles. The bun is soft and complements the savory patties.
It’s a VERY solid choice if you’re craving a burger.
Beverages and Snacks
Sodas are available in souvenir cups for $10, which you can reuse at future games.
Other snacks like chips and candy range from $6 to $7.
They do have bars as well that are basketball themed which are pretty cool. However, we didn’t get any alcoholic drinks.
Tips for Fans
To enter the arena, each person needs to use the official app. This app also facilitates cashless payments, making transactions smoother.
The food service is designed to be quick, allowing you to grab your meal and return to your seat without missing any action.
Additionally, Clippers fans who are Chuckmarked receive special discounts ($2+ on food/drinks).
Overall, the Intuit Dome offers a variety of food options to enhance your game-day experience. The focus on efficiency ensures you spend more time enjoying the game and less time waiting in lines.

My favorite is the cheeseburger because it’s good no matter when you get it. I take out the pickles. It has smash burger vibes with a savory cheese blend. 🧵 pic.twitter.com/IwGXRbdiVv

Our VIP All-You-Can-Eat Experience at Intuit Dome
This isn’t your typical stadium food experience. Instead of paying per item, certain ticket holders get access to an exclusive VIP lounge with unlimited food and drinks included.
Here’s what we ate and drank:
The Good Stuff:
✅ Sushi & Seafood: The octopus and shrimp were solid, with good texture and seasoning. The sushi was a mix—some rolls were decent, but the rice was cold and too thick.
✅ Cocktails: Surprisingly strong and well-made. The guava Moscow mule stood out! 🍹
✅ Tamale Pie: A standout dish—flavorful and unique for a stadium.
✅ Tenders & Tostadas: Classic game-day comfort food done right.
✅ Desserts & Full-Size Candy: Yep, they had donuts, cheesecake, and even full-sized Sour Patch Kids and Reese’s.
The Not-So-Great Stuff:
❌ Limited Seating: If you don’t get in early, you’re stuck standing, which takes away from the VIP feel.
❌ Some Overcooked Items: The shrimp was hit-or-miss, and the meatballs needed a serious flavor boost (and hot sauce).
❌ Turnover Issues: Some items ran out fast—like the sushi—so timing matters.
Is It Worth It?
If you want a more relaxed game-day experience, enjoy variety, and like the idea of unlimited food and drinks, then yes, the VIP lounge is a great option.
But if you’re expecting fine dining, keep in mind that some dishes shine while others fall flat.
