The best REAL Philly cheesesteaks in Madison! Rolls straight outta Philly-the best! The rest of the menu looks great and the hand cut fries were awesome. Friendly service and owner was super nice! We will be back often and looking forward to trying more. read more

Just recently tried Stadium takeout after hearing raving reviews and it was pretty good! I tried the Donfather which is a popular special twist on an Italian beef with locally sourced spicy cheese bread and it was great! My friend got the burger melt and fries and she also thought that was super good! The fries were steak fries with lots of seasoning. All the staff were super helpful and attentive as well. I will say the prices are pretty high, just my sandwich was 14 dollars. They also charge for water, fries etc which I was not a big fan of. They do a special most days of the week and those seemed like super reasonable priced meals so I would definitely go back for that! read more

Good, yummy, greasy food. 10/10 recommend. Italian beef was loaded with meat. Wings were not dry and really good. Just wish the patty melt's burger meeat had more meat but it was really good. read more

Stadium Take Out - Miss Steak - Chicken Wings Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

You want stadium food? Honestly, better than stadium food without the stadium, long lines, and crazy prices? Well this is your place. A small but mighty shop with order at the counter service, big personalities taking your order, and even bigger flavor delivered to your table. Come hungry because this place will easily feed you and your family and the grease stains on the bucket of napkins you use will be proof enough. The donfather is a no brainer, fantastic Madison spin on a classic, their polish dog was snappy and flavorful and their fries were perfection. Everything just hit and the fact that they have some decent cocktails also made the experience even better. Would come back in a heartbeat, if I don't have a heart attack first, and it's the perfect stop before a UW Volleyball or Football game! read more

Two things you must know; they offer seating and my review is 4.5 stars (thanks Yelp). We were in the area and wanted something local. We saw the good reviews and thought it sounded good. We weren't disappointed. While it isn't fancy (would you expect a "take out" place to be fancy?), it has a functional seating area. More importantly, it has a menu offering a little bit of everything. Therefore, no one in your group can say they don't see something they like. My dining partner went with the chicken Parmesan sandwich and onion rings. The rings were tasty and my partner barely finished the large sandwich. They said they would get it again. I went with the Hot and Sweet Philly sandwich and fries. The sandwich lived up to its billing. The fries were top notch. While the price for a quick lunch was a little higher than average, it was very good. The service was top notch. Friendly and accommodating, the workers made us feel welcome throughout our visit. If we get back to the area, we will "sit in" at the "take out" again. read more

What a tremendous treat to find Stadium Takeout. Visiting my son & craving an East Coast style cheesesteak sub sandwich or a chopped cheese sandwich and discovered this joint on my search. We walked over together to find a VERY pro Badger decor in addition to a very pleasant & immediate greeting by the owner. He was very helpful & knowledgeable about the menu as expected. We decided on a Donfather (thinly sliced beef & cheese on locally baked fresh soft rolls) & a traditional Philly cheesesteak sandwich with an order of buffalo dry rub wings. A short wait later our wings came out & were crispy on the outside & moist within. Terrific. The last bone hit the basket and our sandwiches were delivered. The cheesesteak was wrapped & served with fries and the Don stacked tall and tantalizing. The Don was a healthy serving. The bites were really satisfying as the meat was tender, the potato roll soft & supple. The cheesesteak emerged from the wrapper to reveal a VERY large sandwich. The Philly was equally satisfying. The fries were a terrific & unexpected surprise as they're hand cut and REALLY light and crispy. We really enjoyed our visit. My son was really happy to include Stadium Takeout as a new & reliable go to place for him. I recommend a visit without hesitation. read more

Ordered pick up. Order was ready on-time. Ordered 2 donfathers and one Italian beef. We all enjoyed our sandwiches. Bread was soft, lots of beef. Can't say it was the best Italian beef sandwich Ive ever had, but it was good. Their fries were very good. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Cheese curds were average at best. Overall, I would recommend and would return and try something different. read more

Had heard about this place and had to check it out, esp given the great reviews. Probably deserves 3 stars at best, but I appreciate a well run business. For instance, as soon as I walked up to the counter, an employee from the back greeted me and said he'd be with me in a minute. I asked for suggestions and he gave me the meal of the day special and their Donfather sandwich which is the most popular. Went with the special of the day, which was cheesesteak, which I got. The food itself was okay - nothing great, but for $14 cheesesteak and fries, I would have expected more. read more

Philly cheesesteak was cheesy & steak was flavorful and perfectly cooked. Bread was soft and au jus was salty & delicious! Honey BBQ wings were sweet and had a good amount of meat on each bone with a crispy outside. Bacon cheese fries were great, you could tell the bacon was freshly cooked. Definitely will be back read more

We were so impressed by this spot! The burgers and everything else we tried on the menu were spot on. It's always good to have these simple spots that just do it right. We will definitely be back! read more

I placed an order via their website for pick-up, and it was hot and ready when I arrived. Luckily there was extremely close street parking on the one-way street next to the restaurant. I was excited to try their fries, as they seem to have the most comments in other reviews. I found them deliciously different. I describe them as a cross between crinkle fries and steak fries. They are thick and extra crispy with a fluffy, hot center. They held up great while dipping into the luscious cheddar cheese sauce (extra charge, and totally worth it!) Yum. The Chicago dog was good, but next time I will remember that cold ingredients on the dog cause the dog to cool down quickly, so plan to eat it right away. The Italian beef (ordered it plain) was very good. The meat seemed more tender than other restaurants, with nice spice flavoring. A bit more expensive, however. read more

The hype is real - Stadium Take Out does not disappoint. Our group enjoyed the chopped cheese, Philly cheese steak, and wings. All delicious. The fries were unbelievable, and unlike others I have had. The owner, Don, was so sweet and kind, and brought us an Italian ice on the house to celebrate my friend's birthday. I'll be dreaming of the mango Italian ice for a while. read more

Finding a traditional Chicago Maxwell Polish in Madison isn't easy, but don't worry--I've discovered the perfect spot! Stadium Takeout serves up the best Maxwell I've had in Madison, and they take it to the next level with hand-cut fries made fresh to order. Every bite was delicious and cooked just right! As a special treat, I tried their homemade cherry Italian ice. Now, I usually avoid cherry-flavored things because they tend to taste artificial, but this Italian ice was fire--it's the best I've ever had! I loved it so much that I didn't even get a chance to take a picture. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. And yes, it's even better than Portillo's! A bonus is that the owner is incredibly nice, friendly, and fun. He also owns the barbershop next door! read more

We had stopped in Madison for the day and realized we needed lunch. Nothing looked appealing to our tastes near Trader Joe's, so after a quick Google search we landed on a short walk to Stadium take out. We were great by two friendly men at the register, the special and house favorite explained to us. We got a Stadium chop cheese and two burgers with fries which took a minimal time to arriveat our table. The food was really fresh, and unbelievably great tasting. We all agreed the Stadium Take Out has to be packed during game day and evenings. Stop in this is an awesome grilled sandwich shop, that has amazing flavor. read more

The best Italian beef in Madison. Great customer service. Order at the counter. Daily specials. My partner was craving and Italian Beef and we came here to try out for the first time together. We've gone back again since our first time. The fries are also hand cut and fresh. So good! You have to try them out! read more

The food lived up to hype. Got the donfather and it was phenomenal and the fries were killer. Cool little spot close to camp Randall stadium. Highly recommend!! read more

Food here is FANTASTIC and the staff was so helpful for my first time here. Not a ton of seating, but wow are the sandwiches killer.

This use to be a go to place for me to order from, however the quality and attention to detail has suffered tremendously I regularly get wrong items now with the wrong toppings, I will ask for it dry and it will be so soggy you cant even touch the bread without it disintegration. I will not be returning to this establishment anymore and i will make sure to tell everyone i know not to as well. read more

I took out lunch from here. I put an online order and food was ready within 15 minutes. Hot and sweet philly was my favorite. It was really hot. My nose started running, but really flavorful. I enjoyed it. Donfather was really good as well. It was spicy as well, though it was nowhere close to the spice level of the first item. Overall a quick and tasty lunch. read more

Stopped in with my husband after the Badger game last weekend, as we had heard a lot of positive reviews from the local Madison Foodie Facebook group. It's a small place, not a lot of room for dining in, but we were able to find a spot. We walked up to the counter to place our orders - my husband went with the Donfather, and I opted for the Philly Cheesesteak with a side of chili fries. As soon as we sat down, I noticed the sign on the side of the wall listing the specials, and I immediately wished I had ordered the chopped cheese instead. I quickly forgot about it as soon as our food arrived, however, as the cheesesteak was very tasty! I do wish there was less cheese whiz on there, but otherwise it was great. I had a few bites of the Donfather, and that too was yummy - spicy, but delicious. The chili fries were just alright, they were VERY thick, and I like my fries crispy. Overall we had a good experience, and would definitely return! read more

My son and I were at Stadium Take Out yesterday, and for two Chicago food lovers, this place gets it right. The Donfather was juicy and delicious. The garlic cheese curds were "to die for." The chili was one of the best I have ever had (I've had a lot of chili in my life). The beef sandwich was outstanding, with a choice of cheese and various peppers. When I'm back in Madison, I'll definitely go back. The service was exemplary. read more

My hubby went here for lunch one day and came home already making plans to take me. We went a day after a badger game and it was surprisingly quiet! The space is very clean and the staff was friendly, welcoming and had great recommendations. We stayed there and ate and the overall experience was fantastic. The food was amazing and meat is sourced from Jennifer St Market (another favorite for me). I'm 100% sure we will be visiting them again soon! Their Ranch is on point too! Thank you for a great experience Stadium Take Out! read more

Stadium Take Out - Fries - Chicken Wings Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

This food is the best in Madison. Very fresh, great flavor. Don is a very personable businessman and I love telling people about his team and his food. It means something when the owner is excited and passionate about their food. Don is always trying new things and offering customers to try samples of whatever he's thinking about next. The service is fast, friendly, and feels like you've known folks for years. As far as seating, the ambiance gives quaint and homey, so if you're going with a large group(7+) I suggest you take the food to go. I'm a very hard critic, but always give credit where it's due. I take anyone who visits me from out of town here first. They always love their food. I loved when they had their chicken sandwich- now you can't go wrong with the chill cheese steak, the donfather, or a chopped cheese. read more

Just go here and thank me later. Everything is so authentic Chicago and delicious. The best Italian beef in Madison!

Amazing! The Italian Beef was the best one I've ever had. The fries were really good as well. read more

Stadium Take Out - Best Italion Beef sandwich ever! - Chicken Wings Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

Stadium Take Out is an amazing must try addition to the Monroe Street area in Madison, WI conveniently located very close to Camp Randall Stadium! :) Stadium Take Out is one of my husband's favorite food spots in Madison reminding him of his home city of Chicago! Stadium Take Out has delicious Chicago classic favorites such as dipped Italian beef sandwiches , pizza puffs, polishes, & Chicago style hotdogs. They also have other delicious menu items such as wings, burgers, & other sandwiches. I highly recommend trying the "DONFATHER" which is a creative twist on the Italian beef sandwich with Italian roast beef, topped with mozzarella/provolone cheese served on delicious local made Stella's spicy cheese bread from Stella's Bakery! I highly also recommend you try the Chicken Parmesan Sandwich!!! The prices are decent and the customer service is excellent! Food has been hot, freshly cooked, packed with delicious flavor & seasoning. We also met the friendly owner during a visit and he was very receptive to customer feedback and wants the place to succeed!! The place is mostly a take out spot but there is a few tables to enjoy a dine in experience. Definitely you must try their homemade Italian Ice Desserts as it was truly some of the best Italian Ice we have tried with different flavors each day such as cotton candy, lemon, & salted caramel!!!! Yummmm!!!! read more

The Donfather with spicy peppers was fantastic. Sampled the wings which had hot sauce and Parmesan garlic. Both were very good. It'll be hard to venture away from theory sandwiches though. read more

I had read about this place in the local press and knew I wanted to give it a try given I am a big fan of Chicago dogs. I don't get over to this area that often but on a recent Saturday bike ride I made a point to stop for lunch. This is just a hole-in-the-wall place not really meant for dining in - it is call "take out". I did dine-in. There were a number of items that looked intriguing such as chopped cheese. I will need to return to give them a try. This is not your standard hot dog joint. I will even need to give Italian beef a try (wet of course). The service was friendly and they did offer me an Italian ice while I waited. The Chicago dog was just what I hoped for and very authentic. I assume it was the owner who was also there and checked in with me as I finished. Thumbs up - I will be back! read more

Good place good atmosphere would recommend going there thanks for all you guys do please go here

Amazing food! Not your typical hamburger but well worth it! Have to have the Italian lemon ice- made in house. Service was out!!!

Tasty food friendly service, simple carry out with limited seating . Lot of street parking available

First time going here tonight.Don, the owner was there. Great guy! Really trying to hard to make his business the best it can be. I had an awesome Philly cheesesteak wit (if you know wit, you know cheesesteaks). I also had some fries, Italian ice, and the pot roast. Everything was great! Best cheesesteak in Madison. And he even imports the bread from Philly. read more

Wow. I'm impressed. Stopped in for lunch today. Super helpful staff who steered me towards the Donfather sandwich. It was a great recommendation-Italian beef with mozzarella and provolone nestled in between a Stella's spicy cheese roll. Served along a side of well flavored and well seasoned jus, it is a complete sandwich. The side order of waffle fries were advertised as "Brew City" although I don't think they were as they were without the typical batter but tasty nonetheless. They were giving out samples of their Italian ice. I opted for the lemon and I can't wait for it to be part of their regular menu. It would be perfect on a hot summer day. Love that they are apart of my neighborhood and will be making it a frequent stop. read more

Stadium Take Out - The Donfather - Chicken Wings Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

This, this is stadium takeout! Came in on a Sunday afternoon looking for a quick bite to eat and was not disappointed! The owner/cook (Don) greated us upon entry and gave some solid recommendations. We ended spillitting the Donfather (see picture), which was uh-mazing. Delicious meat, great gravey for dipping, and made with cheese bread from Stella's Bakery (we gotta love local business supporting local business)! Even the waffle fries were perfectly crisped without being overdone or burnt! Stadium takeout is EXACTLY what Monroe Street needs. Great food, reasonable prices, and a spot where you can sit or do a grab n go! I highly suggest checking it out, as they have so many great things on their menu, that I doubt you can go wrong. Between the fries, sanwhiches, and italian ice, I can't wait to return and start to explore all they have to offer! read more
