Food: The line is super long for this mouth watering sandwich for all the right reasons, A delicious perfectly executed steak sandwich. Everything from the sweet onions, sharp Vermont cheese , delicious baguette soaked in their au jus is simply perfection. Only thing that could make the sandwich a full 5 stars is the cook. I would prefer the steak to be cooked medium to be softer and soak up more of the flavor but I'm still crazy over this sandwich.
Brew: There's not much of a selection here since it's a ball park but they do have something very special to pick over your water down lite garbage beer, Goose Island IPA. It's $10.50 for a 16 oz can but its delicious, cold, and the best beer pick to enjoy your time there.
It was ok, my buddy offered me the rest cuz he thought it was weird. The wait was horrendous, not even that many ppl in line, just slow service, which since it was the WS game, we were freezing and didn't want to miss much of it.
For the price would prob just stick to the burgers which happened to be very good
One delicious steak sandwich at Citi Field. This is a must have at Citi Field. There is only two around the stadium. The first location is in the taste of the city. It's right next to shake shack near section 139. The second location is up in the promenade level near section 414.
Best time to get one is before the game starts maybe about 1 hour before first pitch or after the 7th inning. The lines are long during the game, but no where near as long as shake shack. I waited about maybe 5 minutes for my sandwich.
The steak sandwich is a hand cut 100 percent black angus seared filet mignon, topped with Monterey Jack cheese, and serves with sweet caramelized onions and a secret au jus on a custom made and toasted French banquette.
I loved the sandwich. The steak was cooked just right for me. Medium cooked. The onions are so delicious and sweet. The cheese is just melting on the steak. The as jus is so tasty and it's great when it hits the bread. Makes it all so soft and tasty. Bring it all together and you have one delicious steak sandwich. Take one bite and then you want another bite.
Do not share with another person. You want the sandwich all to yourself.
The sandwich is $15. A bit pricy, but you are at a ballpark. Every where is pricy.
A must try when you come to citi field.
So this stand at Citi Field sells one and only one food item: The Filet Mignon Steak Sandwich. A French baguette, loaded with filet mignon, tons of grilled vidalia onions, cheese, and au jus. It is quite good. The steak is tender, the onions have a surprisingly light taste considering how much of it there is, and the baguette is fresh and not too hard.
The price is where my gripes mainly fall. $16 for a sandwich is a little ridiculous. It is filet mignon, and it is a ball park, so I get how that could be, but this is more overpriced than anything else I've seen here. I might get this sandwich again if the lines at Blue Smoke and Shake Shack are too long, but only if I'm super hungry, or, like, just won the lottery or something.
Abe Froman is to Chicago as Pat LaFrieda is to NY. Chances are as a New Yorker, unless you're some kind of weirdo[1] and don't eat meat, you've probably had Pat LaFrieda's products before (whether you knew it or not). On a recent trip to Citi Field for the subway series, I was giddy like a schoolgirl in anticipation of trying this sandwich.
It's $15. It's filled with pretty thick, tender slabs of filet mignon, covered with caramelized onions au jus, then smothered with a good helping of Monterey Jack cheese. If I had to compare it to something, I would say it tastes like the love child of a juicy filet and French onion soup. Not a bad combo. As you might imagine, this is a popular item at the ballpark, so the lines can be epic. I stopped at the stall on the 400-level behind home plate and the whole process probably took 15 mins, give or take. The service definitely left a lot to be desired and was slooooowwwww. There were some grumpy people in line, but I'm pretty sure those were just Mets fans.
Overall, I really enjoyed the sandwich, but at $15, can't say it's something I'd make a habit of. Still, I think this food stall is one of the highlights at Citi Field and is worth a visit. Otherwise, all I have to say is LET'S GO YANKEES!
[1] I'm kidding (sort of)
I would give the place a 4.5 but I rounded up. We got the steak sandwich fresh out of the oven. The meat was very tender and juicy and the flavor was great. It would have been a 5 if they had gravy to dip it in and a side of sautéed mushrooms. But it was very good. I would have eaten more if I wasn't going to dinner.
We also got the steak with fries, I loved it. The steak was tender and the cheese melted perfectly. Love it
I have mix feelings about this place. Is it an amazing steak sandwich that's worth $16? the answer is yes however is not worth the very slow service. I waited an hour and half for this sandwich. The line wasn't even that long maybe 20 people ahead of me however they would stop taking orders about every 10 mins because the kitchen was backed up. I don't understand how it took them so long to make a sandwich when all they sell are steak sandwiches. Why cant they just make tons at a time?
I was really looking forward to trying this sandwich that's why I waited so long on line, the sandwich was good but not so amazing that's worth over an hour wait.
