Wishing everyone a safe and happy holiday as we honor our nation's heroes.

Seeing a game of baseball at Minute Maid Park is a whole different experience than watching the Astros play on TV. One of the best parts of going to the park is getting to try all the different food. If you get hungry while watching the game, Minute Maid Park has a lot to choose from. Taste gourmet American classics at Little Bigs with homemade burgers and pork sliders. Delicious Tex-Mex favorites are being served at El Real. Astros Sizzling Grille and Dining Car Grille are serving favorites like hot dogs, burgers, and chili cheese fries. If you're looking for a healthy meal head over to Green Fork for a salad. Of course ice cream stands, cotton candy stands, and beverage stands are located throughout the park as well.
