We were in the area to enjoy the annual Creekside Jazz Festival and wanted to sit down to eat but still hear the music. Stadium was right next to the fountain stage and had all of their roll up doors open to enjoy the music and weather. So glad we stopped in! We started with some local craft beers from a nice local selection. They do have nice liquor if that's what you are looking for. I went for the NBA Jam burger and my wife had the bone in wings with Carolina gold digger sauce. My burger was cooked perfectly and I was amazed at how well the compound butter, garlic aioli, smoked gouda and bacon jam came together. This is one of the best burgers I have had in recent memory! My wife slammed on the wings and said they were excellent. I can tell you the sauce smelled incredible. Very nice staff and clean facility. There are tv's everywhere so this is obviously a great spot to watch sports. Looking forward to our next visit!

Visited here with some coworkers recently and consensus was "never again". 5 of us sat at a mostly clean table where we were attended to by a server who brought 3 menus to a table of five. Ok, minor mistake one would think... brought water for all but only took drink orders for 2 of the 5, thinking this is not a good start... Took food orders and ran off. Food started showing up randomly, one entree came out with appetizers and Food quality was grossly lacking for the price point. The wedge salad had more toppings than salad and about 2tbsp of dressing. Fried pickles were atrocious as a few of us questioned where the pickles were, seemed like they were sliced so thin they evaporated in the fryer and all that was left was the bread. The boneless wings were dry, breaded chicken chunks with a shamefully inadequate about of sauce drizzled over them. Half the Food was left uneaten, service was disgraceful and everyone was disappointed. There's too many great places in the area, visit one of those and avoid the overpriced heartache.

1 server on a Saturday afternoon so that was totally not her fault but they were out of everything we ordered. The tap went out after one beer. Most things on the menu were no longer available. Everything was sticky and run down. We didn't stay for food.

I hate to leave a negative review , and the staff was definitely short staffed , we waited over 40 min for 2 cheese pizzas and an order of kids chicken fingers , as we noticed the time was getting late we even went ahead and payed, then after 50 min we had to leave without our full order . Sorry their short in help ,

This was our first visit to Stadium. The place looked closed when we walked in aside from the tv's being on. After a minute or 2 someone came from the kitchen to seat us. The menu is upscale bar food. We both had their GOAT sandwich, a spicy chicken sandwich with slaw on top with a side of fries. It was a bit slow coming out but was very good, the fries had a nice crunchy exterior and fluffy interior.

Horrible experience, went during lunch around 4pm, wanted to sit outside, bartender said we could sit out there, but they’re not serving out there..? Red flag #1...THEN we decided to sit at the bar since it was happy hour... 1st two drinks I ordered OFF THE MENU they didn’t have. Red flag #2. asked the bartender what she recommended she had no idea. Red flag #3.All the coolers looked empty. Most bottles were empty. When we ordered my chicken wings (chewy and fatty) they came out fast, but we also ordered fries (which don’t take long to cook) and that took about 20 minutes after our wings were already at the table. Red flag #4.... It actually looks like they were about to shut down with how empty the bar was, kinda dirty inside too. Then to top it off, she charged us for the drinks we wanted to order but they didn’t have... which means she wasn’t paying attention before printing off our bill probably because she was trying to rush to eat her food next to us at the bar? ghetto

So let me start this review off by saying this experience was nothing under phenomenal. The only thing bad that I have to say about this experience which wasn't even the bad thing is that the young lady didn't immediately tell us her name upon reading us. However, she was the only server in the restaurant so I can understand how her mind would get sidetracked with that. Not a lot of traffic in the restaurant when we got there only a mom and her son. A guy with his friend at the bar and then there's me and my two sisters. Mrs Jasmine did a very wonderful job of greeting us immediately and making sure that our drinks were handed to us within an exceptionally timely manner being that she was by herself and getting our orders taken. Our food came out very exceptional, very hot, very tasty and not only did the cook come out and make sure that everything was okay but Mrs Jasmine also made sure we were okay. I didn't even get a chance to get to the bottom of my drink when I was getting ready to ask for another one as she was already headed my way. I have nothing bad to say about this entire experience. It was my first time there and I can say nothing but good things about this experience. I will definitely return again as it was a very cool, collected and relaxed place to be. I will return thank you Mrs Jasmine

I was really disappointed by this place.. I came here with my sister and soon to be brother in law the other week on a Sunday for brunch. The entire restaurant was empty and staff was nowhere to be found. We seated ourselves and when staff finally came, she was very short with us. They were out of several key ingredients so the menu was limited. Service took a long time, even though there was no one else in the restaurant. Food was decent but the service honestly ruined everything for me.

I really wanted to like this place a lot more. We had a group of six of us coming in to watch March Madness. We weren't familiar with the local spots, but online this place looked like it would do the trick. Hoops, food, and beers. Around 6 PM, the sound for the games turned off, and the jukebox took over. I asked the waitress, and she said she'd look into it. The manager came over and said they turned the jukebox on in the evening. "But it's a sports bar", I said twice. No luck. We went to hang out and watch basketball, but the music was way too loud to talk to each other, and took away from the hoops. Food was decent. Ordered nachos for the group, and everybody got about two chips. Flavor was good, but portions were small. Two of the three video games didn't work, but the pop-a-shot did. Decent place, but not what I'm looking for in a sports bar.

Food was amazing! Good company! Just need to let customers know change of hours on Sunday's. Other than that I will be back
Service is slow and inattentive. Food below average. I would skip. And here are the rest of characters yelp forces me to use to post this review!

I absolutely love the food and atmosphere here. The staff is always kind. The food and drinks are always on point. This is a place you can have fun at no matter what age you are. The menu is so creative and puts a fun spin on thing! I highly recommend this restaurant.

Despite the advertised information Stadium is temporarily closed.I only learned this after calling multiple times, visiting the website, and finally driving to place my order for a special occasion last night (Jan 5). This would have been my first time eating there, so it’s unfortunate to have this an my only impression.While I’m very glad that management proactively took steps to protect their staff and customers, it seems that updating ANY of their promotional information would have been a simple step to prevent customers like myself and the two other people I encountered after wasting a total of an hour trying to get food.

visit was Sat Jan 15 for the LV@CIN playoff game. bar staff is friendly and the food is OK, pizza is a bit doughy for our taste. While we acknowledge the challenges of our world today - the review for Stadium is poor. There was ample staff to properly service the venue. Unfortunately, staff is poorly managed: across bar staff, servers, expediters, and kitchen staff. Throughout our 3.5 hr visit it became increasingly chaotic. Timing intervals in between service check-ins averaged 20 minutes. The key failing falls on the manager. The manager offered no support, direction, or leadership. Staff was left to flail and slog through the work. The manager was only present to complete one cash transaction, and a walk through. never did the manger assist at the bar, or at tables. Again, this was a 3.5 hour visit.

As of 1/4/2022 this place appears to be closed. Not open last weekend either.Someone from the restaurant emailed me and said they were closed because of covid. I’ll give them 2 more stars for reaching out but they need to change their website and phone message to reflect this. The email could have been nicer as well.
