The centerpiece of the Costco food court menu is the 100% all-beef Kirkland Signature hot dog and refillable 20-ounce soda that’s available nationwide for $1.50 — a price that has remained consistent since the mid-1980s!

Another popular item is the pizza, available by the slice or as a whole 18″ pie.

In addition, Costco offers a couple of very healthy options, like the Al Pastor salad (vegan) and acai fruit bowl (vegetarian).

3. What Are the Costco Food Court Hours?

Hours may vary by location, but the food court in our local metro Atlanta club shares the same operating hours as the warehouse club.

So, the food court is open from Monday to Friday from 10:00 a.m. until 8:30 p.m., on Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. and on Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

In addition, all Costco Wholesale locations — and therefore their food courts — are closed on the following holidays:

  • New Year’s Day
  • Easter
  • Memorial Day
  • Independence Day
  • Labor Day
  • Thanksgiving Day
  • Christmas Day

You can find your local club’s hours here.
