The 2026 US Open Menu Is Packed With French Dips, Caviar Nuggets and the Honey Deuce: A Closer Look

The 2026 US Open is already giving New York another packed summer of tennis, noise, celebrity sightings, and late-night matches. The tournament runs from August 23 through September 13 at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens. Fans have 22 days to watch some of the biggest names in tennis compete on one of the sport’s loudest stages.

Tennis still leads the show, but the US Open has become much bigger than forehands and match points. Food now plays a serious role in the experience. The grounds serve thousands of visitors each day, and organizers have built a dining lineup that feels increasingly like a compact New York food festival.

For 2026, the tournament has brought in established restaurants, celebrity chefs, social media favorites, and familiar stadium staples. Fans can grab a giant sandwich between matches, order Mexican dishes from a celebrated chef, or spend serious money on fried chicken topped with caviar.

Salt Hank’s, Cosme, and Miznon Are in!

Hank’s / IG / One of the biggest new arrivals in the 2026 US Open is Salt Hank’s, the West Village sandwich shop founded by Henry “Salt Hank” Laporte.

Laporte built a huge online following with rich sandwiches and close-up cooking videos, and his French Dip has become the main attraction at his New York shop.

US Open visitors can now find that sandwich in the Food Village. It comes with thinly sliced prime rib piled onto a rustic baguette, then topped with caramelized onions, horseradish aioli, and provolone. A side of jus gives fans the required dunking option.

Cosme also makes its US Open debut this year. The acclaimed Flatiron District restaurant comes from chef Enrique Olvera, whose cooking is known for drawing heavily from Mexican ingredients, techniques, and traditions.

The US Open menu includes Cosme’s Mexican-inspired dishes, with duck among the most talked-about choices. Miznon brings a completely different style to the grounds. Chef Eyal Shani’s Mediterranean concept focuses on pitas and bold, casual dishes that are easy to eat during a busy day of match hopping. The menu includes rib eye roast beef pita, chicken schnitzel pita, hummus with falafel, and Miznon’s seasoned green beans.

Caviar Nuggets, Gimbap and a Serious New Burger

Simon Kim returns for his third straight US Open with COQODAQ and CQDQ. His Korean-inspired fried chicken has already built a loyal tournament following, especially the Golden Nuggets that can be finished with Petrossian caviar.

Gimbap combines seasoned rice with vegetables, meat, and other fillings wrapped in seaweed. Kim has said the dish connects to food he remembers from childhood, and his US Open version includes options such as bulgogi-filled rolls.

The new stall gives fans something lighter and easier to carry than a large sandwich or full restaurant meal. It also adds another Korean food option to a tournament menu that already reflects New York’s wide mix of cuisines.

Pat LaFrieda Meat Purveyors is also raising the stakes for burger fans. Its new Prime 850 Burger uses dry-aged beef and arrives with bourbon bacon jam, dry-aged cheddar, crispy onions, and a brioche bun.

Several familiar names are back across the grounds as well. Carnegie Deli returns with pastrami, corned beef, turkey sandwiches, hot dogs, fries, and its familiar black and white cookie. Other returning vendors include Red Hook Lobster Pound, Van Leeuwen Ice Cream, Fuku, Dos Toros Taqueria, San Matteo NYC, The Migrant Kitchen, King Souvlaki, Korilla BBQ, and Pasta Ramen.

The Honey Deuce Still Rules the Drinks Menu

FoodBev / Grey Goose returns as the tournament’s official vodka partner, and its signature cocktail remains one of the event’s most recognizable purchases.

The drink combines Grey Goose vodka, fresh lemonade, raspberry liqueur, and melon balls shaped to resemble tennis balls. It also comes in a collectible tournament cup, which explains why empty Honey Deuce cups appear almost everywhere inside the grounds by the end of a long match.

The drink menu has grown beyond the Honey Deuce. Moët & Chandon is serving the Moët Serve alongside its champagne offerings, while Dobel Tequila has its Ace Paloma available around the tournament. Wine, beer, coffee, bottled water, and alcohol free choices are also spread across the site.
