While Austin FC’s first team squad will remain the primary draw to Q2 Stadium for the upcoming 2021 season, fans inside the stadium will also be able to enjoy a queso fountain.

The queso fountain, which Austin FC states will “provide a range of queso options”, was announced alongside more than a dozen locally based food and beverage vendors that can be found in Q2 Stadium this year.

“We are pleased to announce an extensive range of local food and beverage partners at Q2 Stadium, operating under the 512 Food Co. brand, which will be an integral part of the fan-focused experience all Q2 Stadium guests will enjoy,” Austin FC President Andy Loughnane said in a March 31 news release.

Austin FC, in partnership with food and hospitality company Levi, on March 31 announced the creation of 512 Food Co. The new concept will curate dining selections inside the stadium.

According to the team, 512 Food Co. will further launch a program called Austin’s Table that will feature a rotating series of local chefs and minority-owned businesses. Austin’s Table is a partnership with the Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts to provide on-site job training for its students and showcase their dishes.


In its March 31 announcement, Austin FC disclosed its initial list of food vendors that can be found throughout Q2 Stadium for the upcoming season. The list of food concessions includes the following:

Other features inside the stadium include the queso fountain and several specialty markets for fans. Three grab-and-go markets—ATX MRKT, Austin City Goods and El Mercado—will provide quick sandwich, snack and vegetarian options inside the stadium for fans.
