I travel A TON within the beautiful state of Iowa for work. This is an incredible gem. A true neighborhood bar, within a neighborhood, in Fort Dodge, IA. And by neighborhood bar, I mean that you feel like family when you're there. The vibe is very special. It's got the sports bar feel, but it's so much more than that. It's complete hospitality. That is amazing in itself, but then you move on to the food. My Goodness! The pics are of the cheesesteak (before) that I got to go for work purposes which involves a lot of driving. The second picture was what remained (nothing). I turned it into a wrap for handheld convenience. It was to die for. The cheese curds are not your typical cheese balls frozen and fried. I'm not sure how they do them but they are perfection. I chose to dip them in their house-made Sriracha Bourbon sauce. This changed my world. They have many other sauce options as well, but this had me written all over it. I also left with a cool hat! This place is like a home away from home. Also, did I mention that it is EXTREMELY clean, which I appreciate very much when trusting in my food consumption. If you are in the area, you must try it. I hear their wings are the best in town, so I know what to try when it doesn't have to be a handheld option for driving. Thanks Stadium, for the hospitality!

Service was awesome and so was the food. The pulled pork sandwich was on special and it was pretty good, not overwhelming with sauce either. The wings are huge here and have a slight breading on them that gives them that extra crisp. Will be back again for that Philly next!

I come to the Stadium frequently for lunch, dinner and now breakfast. The staff is amazing and the food is awesome. The portions are huge and usually 1-2 meals for leftovers. The service is excellent. I would recommend to anyone.

Ordered a buffalo chicken grilled cheese to go with waffle fries and ranch. The sandwich was delicious! Had a good kick but not too spicy at all. The blue cheese gave it a good tang too. The waffle fries were perfectly seasoned as well and not too crispy or soft.

Everything was spectacular! The waitress made me feel at home and treated my family like theirs which goes above and beyond compared to other places! The environment was calming and noise was kept to a minimum the whole time even with families there. The food was also top notch and they put all their love into it

In town for the state softball tournament & had to try it. Had the nachos with taco meat on waffle fries & it was excellent! Great service too. Only drawback was it's pretty small so could see coming at a busy time & maybe no seats. Very limited parking also. Wish the sausage gravy nachos were on the menu permanently, would've liked to try those.
