Answer:
No. If he is not offering a sacrifice, there is no barrier to his eating and drinking before he goes to the festival prayer. He may have coffee, break his fast, or eat dates. As for the one who is offering a sacrifice, it is recommended that he not eat until he slaughters his sacrifice and eats from it, in accordance with the Sunnah.
