They have some really good seasonal beers and while most the fam did a sampler, hub and I opted for just a pint of what sounded the best. I got the pumpkin ale and he got a darker amber beer. Beers were really good. We decided to get the sliders with just meat and cheese and the buffalo strips. Burgers were solid, chicken was not homemade and the fries were your average fry..the buffalo sauce was the star...very good. They have only a few bathrooms in the joint and they were in need of serious attention. It was a disaster to have to take my elderly mom into a nasty bathroom like that....I am hoping they fix this. Wait staff was very good!

I'm kicking myself for not visiting sooner! Scratch burgers are having a resurgence with places like Smashburger, Shake Shack, In-Out etc. This is a Portsmouth Classic if you are looking for a local flavor of a scratch burger. We both tried the iconic Big Mo, and wow--what a burger. Freshly made, perfectly cooked, and great flavor. The inside seating is cozy and nostalgic, with a counter option for a more classic diner vibe. Also, you can enjoy your meal in the comfort of your car, true drive-in style. What truly set this experience apart for me was learning the rich history of Jim Dandy. I was fascinated to discover that the business was started in 1965 by a former owner of three Frisch's Big Boy locations in the Portsmouth area. The story behind its origins added a whole new layer of appreciation for this local treasure. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by Jim Dandy. It's not just a meal; it's a bite of Portsmouth's history served with a side of charm.

I stopped today to have breakfast food and added a side of their homemade coleslaw which was…read moreabsolutely amazing. I ordered a piece of strawberry pie, vegetable soup and beans and cornbread to take home. Tonight I was so looking forward to the beans but no beans, only two bowls of vegetable soup.

Yes, there is an Irish pub in Portsmouth! 100% recommend! The venue came highly recommended by some…read moregood friends....So, I tested their words by going with them for drinks and food. Walking into the pub and heading to the back room where the bar is, it was hard not to reminisce of my time spent in Ireland. The restaurant has a vintage Irish pub decor and a friendly atmosphere. The perfect place to go spend time with family and friends. We sat at the bar and our bartender (Sandy) was absolutely fantastic! She was accommodating, humorous, and just made you feel like you were apart of her family. She made a really great Moscow Mule and a tasty version of a Long Island iced tea I've never had before. I hope to go again soon to try some more food varieties, but on this stop, I had the shepherds pie and was able to try some of the hummus and pita bread. Both I highly recommend and worth giving it a go. I look forward to my next visit! Stop on by and give Port city pub some love.

I've stopped in a few times, and it has only continued to improve! While not from Portsmouth, I graduated from SSU. I also found my husband there at Shawnee, and he is a local; from the infamous Eastend! My in-laws actually live right across the street from Stadium Lunch! It's only a hop, skip, and a jump away from the university! It's always been a long-time favorite for locals. I remember several of my friends' parents from Portsmouth, and my in-laws were going to hang out after work. Have a bite and a few drinks. Now, we are our parents' age then, and the new owners are ready for "us" to start doing this kind of thing again! A fire pit, Edison lights, and great outdoor seating, with a bar top to people watch! We live about an hour away, towards Cincinnati, but are in town a few times a month. At least for a few hours to check in on my husband's Dad and brother. My MIL, unfortunately, passed away last fall. This is when I began to pop into Stadium Lunch more frequently. The propreiters hadn't owned long but were sure to extend their condolences and a small gift at that time. Only knowing them from my FIL stopping into pick up dinner occasionally when my MIL didn't feel like cooking(she was a wonder too!) I am not sure they realize how much this touched our hearts and was incredibly appreciated. I stopped in shortly afterward to extend a thank you in person. I missed them both, but I did have some incredible pot roast, a quick drink, and small talk with some patrons. I brought some home for the whole family after eating! We've had some great burgers and bbq. My FIL sneaks over to get burgers more than we know of! This weekend, we were in for a short trip. Stopped in for a quick drink. While spring, it felt like a crisp autumn night. Great feeling. They have expanded their kitchen, so I'm looking forward to tasting what new homemade specials they will have! I follow them on fb, and they are always having great happy hour, lunch, and dinner specials. Thanks for feeding my father-in-law and always being kind!

I asked the server which she would recommend and she said she loved the wraps. I ordered a grilled chicken wrap (tomato) with homemade buffalo ranch sauce and a side salad, for an upcharge, with raspberry vinaigrette dressing. The salad was fresh with tons of cucumbers and tomatoes. The wrap was hot and bursting with flavor! I really enjoyed it! I also tried a few pub fries which were decent. I took half home and my Dad ate it and loved it too. Service was fast and friendly. My high school also had a class reunion here several years back on the outdoor patio and I enjoyed the food and service then also. The building is historic with brick floors and they specialize in traditional German lagers and other craft brews. It's a cool spot!
