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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.
