How Much Does Food Cost at Cedar Point?

I went to Cedar Point to check out the cost of food for full meals inside the park (and at a few locations outside the park). It was enlightening to see how much it costs.
I also talk a bit about the all season dining plan and some of thtye bars and snacks around the property.
What do you think? Where is your favorite place to eat at Cedar Point?

Great video with excellent information. Heading up tomorrow with a single day dining plan so the timing of me seeing this was perfect. Keep doing what you do.

[@mischiefmanaged5757]

Thanks so much for doing this and taking time out from riding the amazing coasters to cover this. I’ve noted some great looking places. As one of us is veggie, it helps to know where there are options. Pricing is as you’d expect for amusement/theme park. Looking forward to the snack vlog too.

[@onemanwolfpack08]

I have the all season dining pass and I’m keeping track of what I ate, where at, and a running total of what I would have spent if I didn’t have the dining plan

[@Spike-sk7ql]

All 6 of our dining plans have already paid for themselves. Thankfully too. I was a bit hesitant to get one for each kid, and thought about them just splitting, or whatever, but all 4 kids have eaten their own weight while we're at CP or KI. When you figure it out, basically every actual meal you're gonna eat is gonna cost you $15. Figure 2 meals a day inside the park, that's $30 per person. Not to memtion the drink plans. $4 for something out of a vending machine, or $5 for a fountain. It's a no brainer if you're a pass holder. What's really nice is that CP has so many freestyle machines. KI only has 2 freestyle locations, and the one by Mystic Timbers I'd kind of spotty.

[@onemanwolfpack08]

[@lawandahenderson9615]

Thank you for the video but did not see enough about the prices for meals at point. Looking at other online options for this thank you again

[@LifeBeautifulMess]

We ate at Melt the first opening Thur. You can share a full size sandwich and add a side, making it a bit cheaper if you aren't hungry enough for all that food. The craft bear was amazing.

[@lilangelkz]

Great video! We got the all season meal and drink plans and are working our way through the different places. We actually prefer the souvenir cups because we always have a stroller to attach them to and they hold more so you don’t have to worry about trying to stand in line as often. It definitely makes sense to get the paper cups if you don’t have anywhere to put them though so you don’t have to worry about a locker. Hugo’s has been a go to for us so far. Large portions and the pizza has been super tasty. I’m very curious to see how good of a deal we get with the amount of times we eat in the park this season. It’s definitely worth the price!

[@notyournormalg1]

The stroller is a PERFECT place for one of those cups! Are they still fragile enough to melt in the hot car though?

[@lilangelkz]

@@notyournormalg1 the ones from last year never melted and we have definitely accidentally left them in the car for a long period of time. I’m sure we will find out by the end of summer though. Lol!

[@InterestsMayVary2234]

This is cool. Thank you for it. We have free breakfast at the hotel but I have a feeling we will try every pizza and chicken tender in the place.

[@peterwilson3733]

Exactly 👍 thank you 🙏

[@ScottyMania313]

Awesome vid as always! Melt is my go to now because of how nice the staff is, the great menu including the grilled cheese filled with Mac and cheese, and of course the diverse beer menu that you can take to walk around the park with, plus AC on a hot day. I see a lot of dad's in there watching TV while the wife takes the kids to go on rides, it's funny. Walking tacos are amazing. It's a bag of Doritos, they cut the bag open and add nacho ingredients. A portable nachos if you will. Chik-Fil-A and Panda is always busy, to me this is mid. The fries place and pizza place are solid. The fries remind me of Kennywood's almost. I'm all about Melt though. Solid run down

[@jeffjung5643]

we always purchase a couple coupon books, lots of bogos for sweet spot also big discounts they usually stack with pass on merch, plus you get some bonus gameplay $$$

so wish you were coming to coasterfest, would love to hang out for a bit and talk "shop" this will be my 40th year celebrating cp have a feeling it will be epic! maybe we can catch up at halloweekends! i really enjoy your videos in the park to watch when i cannot be there myself. always been over 4 hrs away or more. keep up the fun, allons y!

[@bar1203]

Great video! I'm going next month and was wondering how much my kids will hurt my pockets eating at the park.

[@keepyurheadup]

You didn’t mention the all day meal plan or the single meal plan. I think those are great options that can be shared. You can get a meal every 90 minutes, doesn’t include a drink but the single meal plan does.

[@Paranimal86]

🙄Pretty sure he mentions what you can get at every stop on the meal plan…

[@KLO-wh7hz]

Hi this is great! I’d love more info about the meal plan - we are new to being annual pass holders and I had no idea this was an option. What plan would you recommend? My favorite time is Halloween at cedar point and I just usually get corndogs then 😂 so I’m not sure if we should get the summer meal plan or the gold that seems to cover all year? We have an 11 year old boy and he sure can eat! Thanks, he and I both love your channel!

[@ourfamilyvideos7283]

Love this! Headed there from out of state and this is a HUGE help as we’re not getting dining plan. Do you know if they care is you carry a backpack on with snacks/ bottle water?

[@notyournormalg1]

I think small snacks “for kids” are fine. But no coolers or things like that. You can take a packed lunch out onto the beach though or a lot of people tailgate out at their cars with their coolers (pretty sure I’m right in saying no alcohol allowed in the parking lot though) Hope that helps!

[@notyournormalg1]

I don’t represent the company though, so if there are any questions like that that would make or break your trip, it might be good to call or email guest services. 🙂

[@MarkIrwin02]

Im going there tomorrow. Got the fun bundle for 85 includes food and parking. Guessing thats the food your talking about the select items that comes with mine. Since be there open to clothes. Figuref be better option. Though still have to buy the ticket for water park after arrive.

[@BeachcliffStudios]

Still waiting for wild turnip to open. Hopefully for by memorial day weekend.

[@DwigtArmyOfChampions]

You forgot Famous Dave’s BBQ at the Marina! That used to be THE go-to dine-in chillout place after a long day of coasters. I haven’t been to the Point in about ten years though so maybe all these new food options are better. Also: Tofts near the main entrance has the best milkshakes you will ever eat!!!!

[@notyournormalg1]

That is STILL a place where I have never been. It’s definitely a cedar point bucket list item.

[@jeffjung5643]

that was a great sandwich, chicken fried blt steak sandwich with pimento cheese! on texas toast so bad yet so good. the monte cristo at melt is my fav with homade chipsn dip put it with a seasonal craft, bfast of champions! last fall they had a phenomenal pumpkin bread pudding. also shout out to the bengeits at french confections but the best elephant ear is the original at the stockade. hands down the biggest you will ever see. until 2020 was the only place to get elephant ear for decades.

[@edwardconkle687]

2023 was there in June. Most food places were closed. Pink’s Johnny Rockets etc… are all gone, so is Subway. It was really hard to actually find a place that was open. The place like Derby Dogs was never open, so a lot of food was advertised, but most never opened. Most of these places are now empty buildings. Walking tacos is bbq and it also never opened. Hugo’s and Coaster’s Diner where about the only places you could eat for the entire front half of the park.

[@notyournormalg1]

[@alexmatthes]

I think it would be really neat to see the other food options outside of the park (If your allowed of course), for us broke boys. :)

[@cobras35]

There is a McDonald's and a DQ a short drive from the lot, but going there will take at least a hour out of your day. I used to just make a couple sandwiches and put them in a cooler.

[@MarcusDET]

Good video. This is my first year with a gold pass. Me and my friend already went once. The only problem is finding people who want to go to the park more than once since I’m 2 hours away lol

I'd love to see what entrance and order you recommend for maximizing riding coasters at Cedar Point. I picked up the Platinum Passes this year for the family and plan to visit Cedar Point in July and would like to know how to get the most out of riding in a day and a half. I'd love to see the same thing for Kings Island which we are also going to visit in July.

I haven’t done one yet for this year. Yet. But I do have a couple videos on the topic from last year. This one was on a busy day and without fast lane. I hope it’s helpful! kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4aqgplnmb6leLc

[@huddyr1112]

Great video...#LETS GO,!!?! To feed a family or even for a couple depending on what kind of food you like but definitely for a family the real best option is Famous Daves bbq....you exits on the marina side by valravn, just look up where Famous Daves in Cedar Point is located....it's a 3 minute walk from the park and you can pay normal regular prices without being gouged

I still have not gone to visit this yet. I’ll have to make a concerted effort to make my way out there soon!

[@huddyr1112]

@@notyournormalg1 Well...... if we ever do that meet up maybe we could check it out together, I think my oldest daughter is coming with me Monday... I was at Cedar Point all day Thursday and then Friday I spent my day at Kings Island, great time that Beast night ride is amazing the refurbishment to the track definitely has her running a bit smoother...but seriously I don't have a KZbin channel I don't have a blog or anything like that, I would love to do a meet up just because you've helped me believe it or not, with my anxiety and my PTSD. I've found that coasters and theme parks are like a giant Xanax for me...kind of an escape, with the walking, and talking to new people, it really helps me relax and meditate. I found your channel last year, and watching how often you go to Cedar Point literally inspired me, I thought hey if this guy can do this all the time, then I can do it too....your attitude, your positivity, your light-heartedness, it's infectious, and I just started watching your videos daily, next thing you know I was buying my first season pass, now I am member ACE, I'm a member of The Coaster Crew and I have trips planned all summer to hit parks all over the country, it all started last year at the end of the summer when I found your channel and now I have 75 Coaster credits and counting 💯💯💯

[@Gverra]

would you say the Platinum Dining deal add on would be worth it if i was to only visit 6-7 times? or better off just using the 10% off when i do eat?

[@notyournormalg1]

kinda depends on what you are doing and who you are there for. You might find it much better to buy the all day dining pass for 35 dollars. then you can eat all day for one low price and you can let your whole party eat with it. So, if you and your family want to eat all day, that might be the best option for you. If you're going all year, 6 to 7 times might work decently, but it'll only give you two meals each day, so it's harder to feed the whole party on it.
