Paycom Center offers Oklahoma-inspired arena fare at prices that are very affordable by NBA standards. The Oklahoma onion burger, BBQ brisket, and local craft beer are the highlights. OKC's arena food is a good value. You won't feel gouged like at coastal arenas. Outside, Bricktown has a solid restaurant scene, and OKC's emerging food culture has been getting national attention.
Tips & Fan Reports
Bricktown restaurants are a short walk and have excellent options for every budget.
COOP Ale Works and Prairie Artisan Ales are Oklahoma's best craft breweries, available at the arena.
Cattlemen's Steakhouse is an OKC institution, worth the short drive to Stockyards City.
Arena food prices are genuinely affordable. You won't feel gouged here.
Frito Chili Pie is an Oklahoma tradition, Fritos topped with chili and cheese. Try it.
The Oklahoma onion burger is the must-try, paper-thin onions smashed into the patty. A state signature.

How We Checked This Page
Every section below names the source it was read from and the day it was read. Where we could not reach a published figure, the page says so rather than presenting an estimate as a checked fact.
- Drink prices
Paycom Center 2026: beer $9.50-$15 depending on pour and brand
- Concession menu
Paycom Center's Concessions page, a complete stand-by-section directory that lists every stand and cart with the full menu it sells. paycomcenter.com is unreachable from here, so this was read from the Internet Archive's capture of 2026-03-05. An older 2024-10-07 capture of the same page was compared and rejected: Mazzios has become Pizza Hut, and Block City, Block City BBQ, Chop N' Block's old section, OKIE DILLA, Twisted Table and Thunder Drive Thru are gone, with Eddies, Capital, HTeaO, Full Court Philly, Taco Camion and Alley Coop arriving since. Two club stands (Michelob Ultra Club, Old No. 7) publish only a link to their menu and are omitted rather than guessed at. No prices are published.

These figures are estimates. Most venues no longer publish the numbers behind them (concession and ticket pricing moved to dynamic marketplaces), so we hold them as estimates rather than dating them as verified.
