Ordered through Doordash. I understand it's bar food but come on have a bit of pride in what comes out of the kitchen. I ordered Onion wings that were obviously cooked in old grease and burnt. I also ordered the Hangover burger which was also burnt to a crisp and the bun was burnt and hard. The only decent thing was the ranch. I couldn't even eat the food and got a refund from Doordash

Not-so-good bar food for the price. Service was very slow and made mistakes. Drinks were fine.

Great spot for late night food, worth the wait that occurs sometimes late at night but the service is superb. Safe space.

Very unfortunate encounter. I ordered delivery through GrubHub, and I specifically said no cheese. They put cheese on top and I asked if they can get me another one, while I am only half a block away(I'm lazy). They told me I can only go through GrubHub, and they don't have enough staff to walk half a block. So I have to pay again for the food I want due to their mistake. Interesting,

Players has never disappointed me, orders to go, drinks, just apps, doesn't matter. 100/10 spot for any and all your needs.

This place is gas. Always have really good good deals and really good food. Endless Wednesday boneless wings is to die for

Food was cooked in overused oil and the servings were pathetically small. Paid nearly $30 and got 3 tiny tenders, 12 tator tots and 6 Jalapeño poppers. What a joke! If I wanted food this disgusting and small I would have went to Hardee's.

Although sports bars aren't our personal style, this place is too hard to pass up. Amazing food given the price point and servers are friendly!

Great environment with phenomenal bartenders. Came in and was served right away and made the best shot I’ve ever had called the captain on acid. It tasted like heaven in a shot glass! Would recommend 100% coming in, especially on a Saturday night!

I love going here, the drinks are cheap and strong and the service is great. The food is delicious if you like burgers and fries etc. The Players burger is my favorite!

I got my order and we barley got any fries in any basket we got also the servers there are drunk on multiple occasions. That’s so unprofessional in a work place they need fired and some new management

Very slow and forgetful service. 2 stars because it is open late night for food. Receipts are not itemized so it's unknown what the order actually is. Staff is friendly but slow. Food is mediocre at best. Iowa city has much more to offer for late night cuisine.

This place is awful. Maybe it is not one star bad but it is bad. And, I would be doing a disservice to any Iowa City visitors and to all the great restaurants in Iowa City, if my review would mistakenly lead people to choose this establishment over basically any other place to eat in downtown Iowa City. So, 1 star it is. It is dark, dingy and the space is very uninviting. Everything is painted black, which I suppose is a nod to the Iowa Hawkeye colors but it makes the place look cheap and a bit creepy. It is also dirty. Our feet stuck to the floors as we walked from the door to the table. Just terrible and such a waste of a great location in downtown IC.

Very good service, good food, good drinks and entertainment to enjoy while drinking or just have a quick bite and small chat with new or incoming friends as while. Recommend it, chill and easy vibes and overall very enjoying time
