Expect to pay at least around $5 for a beer, although I'm not sure since I've never buy them at the park.  There is the Brewmasters club though, if you want to sample free beers.  There's one locate in Ireland and one in Oktoberfest.  Check them out.  I believe you can go to both in one day, but there is a limit to how many times you can go in one day.  But it's free beer sampling.

Our favorite restaurant at the park is Trapper's Smokehouse.  It offers BBQ chicken, salmon, brisket, and ribs.  Very good food!!  A half chicken dinner costs around $10, but that covers a half portion of BBQ chicken, waffle fries, and a roll.  Drinks are about $2-$3.  You can get a sample platter for around $13 that includes chicken, brisket, and ribs, waffle fries, and a roll.  The sample platter is PLENTY of food for two people.  A great way to save a little money is to share a meal, and with their portions, you can do it easily and you'll both be full, especially if you pick up your own side dishes to go along with your meal.  

Oktoberfest (Das Fest haus) offers German food for right around $6-$10 a plate.  Lots of sandwiches, potato salads and other well known german food.  

Festa Italia offers Italian dishes for around $6-$10.  The chicken parmesan is a favorite for a lot of people, and the serving sizes are pretty big.  

If you want ice cream, their waffle cone sundaes will run  you around $3-$5 depending on what you order.  Expect to pay around $3 for a bag of popcorn or a Shamu ice cream bar.  Dippin' Dots will run almost $5 for a cup.

Of course, if you want to save a little money, you can buy a souvenir drink cup for around $10 and refills are discounted all day.  If you don't mind drinking ice water all day, you can get free cups of water from any restaurant at the park.

It depends where you eat, prices vary from country to country since the food relates to the country.  Beer is $4.99 each (plus tax)...I remember gasping when my hubby bought one when we were at the park for the 4th of July!!!  As far as food prices, we usually eat in Italy and for both of us, lunch costs approximately $30, and then you have other food expenses throughout the day like water, ice cream, popcorn, etc.  If you are budgetting for two people, I would say to bring between $80 and $100.  We usually go with $60, but we end up not being able to get any souveniers...but our food expenses are covered with that.
