St. Louis CITY SC has never treated food as an afterthought, and the 2026 season continues that approach with the addition of four new local culinary concepts. As the only stadium in the world to feature a fully local food program at this scale, Energizer Park continues to evolve the way fans eat on match day through new partnerships and updated menus designed specifically for stadium service. The full lineup reflects a thoughtful balance of hometown flavor and practical execution, reinforcing the club’s commitment to one of the most ambitious culinary programs in professional sports. Keep reading for a closer look at the newest match-day partners.
TACO BUDDHA
St. Louis CITY SC continues to deepen its local flavor roster for the 2026 season with the addition of Taco Buddha, a globally inspired taco concept known for blending far-reaching culinary influences into a familiar format.
Founded in University City in 2017, Taco Buddha expanded to Kirkwood in 2022 before opening its third location in Botanical Heights in December 2025. The Energizer Park partnership marks the restaurant’s first venture outside of its brick-and-mortar spaces and its debut as a satellite operation.
For marketing manager Michael Arnott, the collaboration reflects the brand’s core identity, one shaped as much by travel as by tradition. Founder Kurt Eller, a Texas native with deep ties to New Mexico, spent significant time abroad, particularly in Thailand and India, experiences that continue to inform Taco Buddha’s menu.
“It’s about taking those global flavors and putting them into a familiar format,” Arnott said, pointing to tacos as the ideal canvas.
That approach is anchored by a Southwest-inspired kitchen, especially the use of New Mexico chiles, which serve as a throughline connecting the menu’s global influences. At Energizer Park, Taco Buddha will launch with a focused selection designed for stadium service.
Initial offerings include the Taos taco, featuring Hatch green chile-marinated pork carnitas topped with cotija and cabbage on a flour tortilla, and the Thailand taco, with Thai braised beef brisket finished with a yogurt-based raita accented with tomatoes and cilantro. Chips with guacamole and queso blanco will also be available.
Even amid recent expansion, Arnott said the timing felt right. “It feels like the perfect moment to be part of what St. Louis CITY SC is building and to join the incredible lineup of local businesses at the stadium,” he said.
BISCUIT TOWN
What began as a winter pop-up in early 2025 inside salad hotspot Neon Greens in the Grove has grown into a permanent ghost kitchen concept, and now Biscuit Town is headed to Energizer Park as a new food partner for St. Louis CITY SC’s 2026 season.
Owner Josh Smith said the stadium placement creates an opportunity to introduce Biscuit Town to a broader audience. With Neon Greens already familiar to many fans, the move feels like a natural progression. “It’s really exciting to get into the stadium and in front of a different group of people,” Smith said. “It’s a great way to help more folks get to know what we’re doing.”
The Energizer Park menu will be streamlined but closely aligned with Biscuit Town’s existing offerings, with a focus on savory biscuits suited for lunch and dinner service. One standout is the brand new Barbecue Bash, a pulled pork barbecue biscuit, made in collaboration with Fourth City BBQ and topped with a creamy, citrus-forward slaw designed to balance the richness of the biscuit.
Breakfast favorites will also be available, including Rise ‘n Shine, with sharp white cheddar, Buttonwood Farms eggs, pickled pepper mayo and fresh dill. The Sneaky Biscuit features smoked gouda, eggs, crispy bacon and a delectable smoked citrus honey for a familiar but elevated option.
On the sweet side, Biscuit Town will offer the Strawberry Situation, a twice-baked almond, croissant-style biscuit filled with house-made strawberry jam, whipped cream and strawberry sugar, which is lighter than it looks. A new dessert, That’s Bananas, debuts at the stadium, featuring miso caramel, fresh bananas, banana chips and whipped cream.
Smith said the team plans to keep the menu deliberately tight at launch, with flexibility to evolve as the season unfolds.
GOSHEN COFFEE
For more than 20 years, family-owned and woman-led Goshen Coffee has been roasting specialty craft coffee with a focus on quality and community. Co-owner and CEO Jennifer Hughey said the company’s reach has expanded rapidly in the past five years, with growth across all four arms of the business: cafes in Glen Carbon, Edwardsville and Soulard; a nationwide wholesale program supporting other cafes and restaurants; a strong retail presence at grocers like Schnucks, Dierbergs and Whole Foods; along with a growing online shop. “All four sectors of our business have been growing like mad,” Hughey said. “The feedback has been amazing.”
Now, Goshen is stepping into its first stadium partnership. Beginning this season, Goshen will serve as the official coffee provider throughout Energizer Park. Ten concession locations will brew its hot coffee on matchdays, with cold brew on tap wherever possible. The partnership extends beyond the concourse. Goshen will also provide coffee at the team’s training facility before games and at suite and premium levels upstairs. A cart or two on the concourse may follow later in the season.
Fans can expect a full coffee menu featuring 12 core drinks, customizable with four syrups and milk alternatives, served hot or iced. Seasonal drinks will rotate selectively, and each match will feature a themed drink special. Plans for pastries and snacks, potentially including protein bites, are still being finalized.
Hughey called the opportunity an honor, noting the stadium’s reputation for showcasing one of the strongest stadium food programs in the country. “I think it’s the best stadium food program in the country; there’s nothing that rivals it,” she said.
MOTOR TOWN PIZZA
Motor Town Pizza’s path to Energizer Park began as a pandemic-era pivot that quickly turned into a local success. When Covid restrictions shut down dine-in service at sister restaurant Revel Kitchen, owners Simon and Angelica Lusky launched a ghost kitchen pizza concept built around rectangular pans and Detroit-style pies that could be baked in their existing ovens. What launched as a survival move soon developed a devoted following, with Motor Town becoming a Brentwood favorite.
Now the concept is joining St. Louis CITY SC’s food lineup for the 2026 season, offering a streamlined, stadium-friendly version of its menu. The pizzas will be scaled down from the restaurant’s 8×10-inch rectangles to a 5×8-inch personal-size format designed for easy eating at the stadium.
The opening menu will feature three pizzas, with room to expand with demand. The SC Cheesy is an extra-cheesy spin on the classic, finished with diced fresh mozzarella. The Model P, Motor Town’s top seller, layers Volpi pepperoni and crunchy garlic. The St. Houligan rounds out the lineup, a simplified take on the Yo Street in a Range offered at the brick-and-mortar with cheddar, mozzarella, salsiccia sausage and Red Hot Riplets crumbs.
“We’re thrilled to bring Motor Town to the stadium and reach a whole new group of people,” said Angelica Lusky, noting hopes for a long-term partnership at Energizer Park.
