One of the best options for barbecue in Greater Portland, Vancouver's Daddy D's BBQ is available throughout the stadium, with one location on the 100 level and two on the 300 level. Third-generation pit master and owner Donnie Vercher hails from Louisiana but makes his family's own style of barbecue. The saucy chopped brisket is where to start.

Located on the 100 level, Tamale Boy slings the Portland-based chain’s popular tamales, with fillings like shredded beef and cochinita pibil. There are plenty of options for vegetarians, too, for those who prefer their masa pockets meat-free. For more variety, Tamale Boy also has a location blocks away next to the Labrewatory.

10 Barrel’s Moda brewpub is a satellite location for Bend’s lauded brewery. Open more than two hours before the game starts, the Rose Quarter’s 240-seat 10 Barrel is a key spot for a pre-game IPA.

Thanks to the folks at Sizzle Pie, the world’s most perfect (and portable) food is something that everyone can enjoy — carnivores, vegetarians and vegans included. Sizzle Pie's concession stand is a killer spot for a pre-game slice of Napalm Breath, topped with pepperoni, fresh jalapenos, onions, and loads of crushed garlic.

Ex Novo’s cool industrial brewpub makes a hoppy Pacific Northwest IPA along with seasonal brews and a menu of Detroit-style pizzas and pub classics, with things like "Bacon for the Table," fried pickles, and pineapple-jalapeno pies. It is a bit of a hike to the Moda Center, with the option of taking a bus on N Williams, but it is open everyday of the week and adds lunch to the mix on weekends.

When the Blazers host an afternoon game, it’s the perfect excuse to head over to Peter Bro’s cheerful Broder Nord for a little brunch. Broder is known for its Swedish dishes, like the iconic aebelskivers and a creamy, dreamy skillet of ham and baked eggs. The MAX stops nearby and takes about five minutes to reach the Moda Center.

For a quick-but-hearty bite before the game, this biscuit-obsessed restaurant offers dauntingly large breakfast sandwiches, biscuits and gravy, and a handful of other plates like chicken pot pie. Head directly for The Reggie — the restaurant’s incredibly Instagrammable signature fried chicken sandwich, involving bacon, cheese, and plenty of gravy.

Upright Brewing is located just a couple blocks from the Moda Center, making it an obvious choice for farmhouse-style beer nerds. It's open in the evenings Thursday through Sunday, but for home Blazers games, it's always a pre-game option: It throws open the doors from 6 p.m. at the latest until the game begins.
