Stadium Lunch Portsmouth Ohio
ShareTweetEmail

Audio Assist Version

Nestled in the heart of Portsmouth, Ohio, Stadium Lunch is a hidden culinary gem waiting to be explored. Stepping into this cozy eatery, located at 1829 Jackson Street, is like stepping into a time capsule of flavors and community spirit. Co-owned by Reece and Briana Brown, this establishment has a story that spans over a century, starting way back in 1920.

For those new to the area, you might wonder why the Browns chose Portsmouth over other cities. Their connection to this charming town runs deep. Having lived here before and engaged with the community through various activities, Reece and Briana always dreamt of owning a business that resonated with Portsmouth’s soul. The moment they laid eyes on Stadium Lunch, they knew they had found the perfect canvas to create something special.

What truly sets Stadium Lunch apart is its food journey, which has been nothing short of a culinary evolution. Starting with a focus on an impressive beer selection, the menu expanded organically. Picture this: gourmet hotdogs that dance with flavors you never thought possible. These aren’t just any hotdogs; they’re all-beef wonders that elevate this comfort food to an art form.

But that’s just the beginning. The Browns’ collaboration with Stockman’s, a local beef supplier, led to mouthwatering hamburgers and chili that pack a flavorful punch. Their late-night breakfast menu, introduced recently, has taken the city by storm. Imagine savoring the perfect bacon gravy paired with Stockman’s breakfast sausage, a treat that’s simply unbeatable.

While their menu is intentionally focused, every bite tells a story of dedication and quality. The Browns’ commitment to perfection shines through in each dish, making every visit a unique and memorable experience.

The warm embrace of Stadium Lunch goes beyond its menu. The outdoor space, a covered patio perfect for unwinding, has become a gathering spot in itself. As you sit amidst the community, savoring every bite, you’ll find yourself part of a story that spans generations.

Regulars are quick to commend Stadium Lunch’s hospitality, cleanliness, and top-notch food quality. The establishment’s unassuming ambiance, a welcome departure from high-octane experiences, resonates with patrons. As the city gears up for the River Days parade, the Browns are excited to showcase their continuous improvements.

In Reece’s words, Stadium Lunch is a labor of love, a culinary and communal journey that thrives on attention to detail and cherished interactions. Amidst the laughter, shared moments, and heartwarming memories, this eatery stands as a testament to the Browns’ dedication and Portsmouth’s enduring spirit.
