  • The iconic $1.50 hot dog combo remains a Costco staple, but many other popular foods are exclusive to Costco's overseas food courts.
  • Items like cheeseburgers, french fries, and chicken tenders are available in other countries but not in the U.S.
  • International locations offer unique items such as Aussie steak pie in Australia and sushi in Canada.

Craving french fries? Chicken tenders? Hot coffee? You won't get it at Costco food courts. At least not in the United States.

While the warehouse giant is known to offer a variety of foods across its more than 600 U.S. store locations (including the iconic $1.50 hot dog combo), other American lunchtime staples like cheeseburgers are only available on the food court menus outside of the states, according to The Hill.

Here are 10 international Costco food court finds you can't get in the U.S.

Aussie steak pie at Costco food courts in Australia

Costco members in Australia can get an Aussie steak pie, which is made with golden puff pastry filled with slow cooked chunky pieces of beef in a rich gravy. The Costco food court also sells Mango smoothies and bubble tea, both of which are not available at the U.S. food courts.

Fried chicken not sold in U.S. Costcos

While U.S. Costco warehouses do sell rotisserie chickens in the deli section, the food courts don't offer fried chicken. Instead, members will have to travel to international locations such as Taiwan for a bucket of fried chicken, according to The Hill.

Costco Sushi available at Canadian food courts

Members in Canada have spotted California crab rolls on the food court menus, Scripps reports, but sushi has not yet been added to the food courts stateside.

Hot dogs, but no cheeseburgers at Costco food courts in U.S.

Once offered by Costco stores in the U.S., cheeseburgers were removed from the menus after a just few years, disappearing for good by 2020, Mashed reports. So far, Reddit users have cited a Costco food court in Reykjavik, Iceland, that still offers cheeseburgers.

Chicken tenders not for sale

Canada and Australia offer chicken tenders with fries and dipping sauces. It costs $8.99 in Australia.

Costco got rid of french fries at U.S. locations

French fries were once available at U.S. Costco food courts but were discontinued. However, Costco offers poutine (french fries topped with gravy and cheese curds) at its Canadian food courts.

Seafood bake

Unlike the popular chicken bake (chicken, Caesar dressing, mozzarella, and bacon filling wrapped in dough and baked) served at Costco food courts across the U.S., the seafood bake can only be found outside of the U.S. at locations in Taiwan and Korea.

Costco sells jacket potatoes at U.K. food courts

Very similar to a baked potato, jacket potatoes are only available in the U.K., according to The Hill.

Hot coffee not poured at U.S. food courts

While Costco offers several types of cold beverage options and plenty of coffee varieties in the grocery aisle, the food courts don't sell hot coffee. However, Costco food courts internationally sell the beverage.

Soup

Costco food courts in Taiwan offer members clam chowder. And mushroom soup is available in South Korean food courts, per The Hill.
