Typical 'upscale' sports bar (it's in/on Market Street) and bar fare.
We were staying in area for a concert at the pavilion and needed a place to catch the fight after. Stadia was within walking distance to both the concert and our hotel. Perfect.
The place was SRO and packed, as expected. There was no where to sit and a wait of about, oh 3 hours. Basically no one was getting up before the card ended. So, the bf, being the extrovert that he is, asked two gentlemen sitting at a bar table if we could sit with them and that his gf was cute. They all waved me over and we sat down. Â Long story short, we sat with them for about 2 hours and had a good time.
Drinks are typical I guess. I had a cider and a skinny rita (hate beer and don't care for 'bar' wine). Both were good. I ordered the buffalo chicken wrap and when it arrived was surprised to find out the chicken inside was cut up into tiny little chunks. WTH? You'd expect long tenders in a wrap, but these little chunks kept falling out on the plate. I ended up eating the insides with a fork. The bf had the sliders and they were pretty good. Meat was tasty and salty (just like I like it).
Waitress was slammed but still kept her cool and was sweet.
I'd go back if I were in the area and needed a place to watch another sporting event.
I walked in the front door and someone who was walking past mumbled 'sit where you want'.  I had a large party coming in (15+) for a celebration and wanted to make sure we would be in an area where that made the most sense, so I did not move.  When that same person made it all the way back to the bar and noticed I was still standing in the front, she rolled her eyes, obviously annoyed, and said again- from the bar- 'sit where you want'.  I said I have a large party - she couldn't hear me, and was now VERY annoyed that I was asking questions and not just sitting.  When she walked half way from the bar to the front door  - NOT all the way to me - and yelled across 'what?' I again said I have a large party and before I could finish my sentence she said 'just sit where you want' - So I said back - So, I can just pull tables together randomly wherever I choose?  She actually grunted...and said Yeah as she turned her back on me again to go to the bar.
As luck would have it, she was the one who came over to get our drink order, lucky us.  Thankfully - she was NOT the one who delivered our drinks nor waited on  us the rest of the night. Â
After all of that, our service was excellent, our waitress perfectly explained drinks and menu items.
We ordered several of their specialty drinks and for the most part they were good. The table also ordered a variety of wings and everyone agreed with my prior experience that the lemon-pepper wings are just the BEST. They have excellent flavor and are nice and crispy. Â Their wings are a good size, and they are served with the standard side of celery and salad dressing of choice.
We ordered a couple of orders of chips & queso, and they gladly refreshed the chips. Â Their cheese sticks are good - served with shaved Parmesan on top and the marinara they are served with is mild, which was great!
I strongly suggest the food and beer - but if your wait staff is not up to par, speak with a manager immediately.
I was delightfully surprised by the quality of the food here. Â I was expecting standard bar fare, but it was much more! Â I had a blackened chicken sandwich that had chunks of ripe avocado and tons of fresh veggies, and the next time a bacon bleu burger with sweet potato fries, and both meals were great!
There are too many TVs for my liking, and its a disproportionately male crowd, but it's a sports bar so I won't judge.
Recently I started laughing maniacally when a friend asked me, "What is a good sports bar with really good food too?" Rare breed, it is.
Unfortunately, Stadia Grill is in the Woodlands, or else I would have suggested it. I don't know if I was in some kind of warped world or if it was a fluke, but when I had lunch at Stadia Grill, I had possibly one of the best turkey burgers... ever. I was pretty reluctant about the decision to go to Stadia, since I don't normally waste a good meal on sports bars when there are no games playing. It was pouring rain outside and this is one of the few places in Market Street that has ample parking right next to the restaurant. Â For my turkey burger, I requested avocado and substituted the fries for grilled veggies and man it was just a surprisingly delicious (and not so unhealthy) meal.
Lots of huge TVs, pretty good service. Pair that with surprisingly good food? Score.
You know, sometimes a place that is exactly as advertised deserves a little praise. Â Stadia in The Woodlands is a comfortable, casual, extremely well run place to knock a few beers back and watch the game or games. Â The staff is on the whole very friendly and wants to help. Â The food is above par for sports bar food, and has some very good surprises (more in a minute). Â Plenty of tv's and daily specials make this place great for The Woodlands. Â As for the food, the chicken dishes, boneless or bone-in wings, sandwiches and entrees are all good. Â The buffalo shrimp is very good, and the steak is more than good for the price. Â A tip, order your sides like fries well done. Â I'm picky, and consistently pleased here. Â Give it a shot, especially if your wife is shopping Market Street.
Review Source:Good place to hang out with lots of beer. Not a very deep menu but the nachos and calamari were fantastic. Service has been good to horrible on my few visits. all the waitresses are very attractive and they all seem to play on that. i'm not complaining here (there's absolutely nothing wrong with hot waitresses), but i would like some better service instead of mindless conversation.
also, It's across the street from the pavilion so if there's a concert going on you can get a patio table and enjoy the music.
We dropped in on Stadia as we were looking for a place to grab a bite and a cheap brew before a Jimmy Buffett concert at CWMP. Brilliantly, they were serving Landshark beer for $2.
Despite the restaurant being packed with pre-gaming parrot heads, the service was quick and efficient. We ordered several appetizers (nachos and potato skins are a B+, wings were a little disappointing for a place that claims them as their speciality.) For its purpose, Stadia fits the bill pretty well. I don't frequent sports bars often, but this one I could see returning to.
Stadia is another place that suffers from inconsistency.
I've been three times, because WOW there are so many TV's you can watch ALL THE GAMES and have a good time. Â The first two visits, though, the food was not good. Â It wasn't inedible, but it was definitely a notch below what I expected, and I wasn't expecting a lot from a sports bar.
My last visit, though, the food was a huge step up from my first two. Â Seasoning levels had been corrected, everything was hot and fresh (previously, it wasn't unusual to get room-temperature food), and it was just all around better.
If they can keep things up at the level of my last visit, they'll gain more stars.
I loathed this place, it's a shame seeing as it had so much potential. First off, the service was beyond horrible. I guess to this establishment, if they look pretty they don't have to be nice or accommodating to people, which is fine seeing as I control the tip and as the consumer, we have the power.
Now I understand that Texas is a football state and that baseball is not a priority, but I do think that a play off game for the World Series (the last game, at that!!) is a pretty big deal. So we walk in and almost immediately we got attitude when asking for the game. We settled for a little booth tv with the promise that after the college football game ended, we could watch and hear our game, fine with me. Also, we told her that we would be having some friends join us in about an hour and a half, but we didn't want to hold tables so would give as much heads up as possible.
Our waitress comes up, asks for drinks, takes a while to get it to us and after about 20 minutes, asks for our order, we're not too concerned, place an order. We got the food and most of it was decent, the calamari was WAY burned. Also, we noticed that people were FREAKING out over the baseball game and the only two people watching the college game were texting and not even watching the game. I pointed it out and the waitress said "my boss will freak out on me if I change it". Fair enough. I went to the bathroom and on the way back, MY waitress walks right through me bumping my shoulder, I should have taken her 90 pound butt out, but I didn't.
After our food our friends let us know they're on their way in about 30 minutes, it was pretty crowded so I let the wait staff know so they would have time, trying to be nice. Another girl said, "well we  don't really have any room, no one has left." and I responded with "that's fine, I'm letting you know in advance" and she responds with "no one has left, what do you want us to do about it". I lost it. I told her that I didn't appreciate how awful everyone there was, she said she would ask for the manager. He comes and he states that football trumps baseball (even though there were WAY more people) and that after the game, he'll move it. I only asked that there be the game on a tv  near the table we were moving for the group (they scrounged one up for us after the complaint) and the waitress said that was fine. 15 minutes later after moving, they wouldn't change any TV's and told us they wouldn't. I freaked out and left. The manager came outside acting all surprised that we were outraged and leaving. I, not so nicely, told him to shove it.
I would say that maybe it was just the staff that night, but since the management was in on it too, I have a feeling it's probably this way often. Also some friends stayed behind (I refused to throw any more money down on that place, regardless if I missed an inning) and they said the service was bad to them, too.
This place was a joke, go to Tailgators.
Great place to catch a game (if you don't mind the crowd). It's a pretty hot & happening sports bar in The Woodlands (near The Woodlands Mall).
-Huge Televisions
-Female servers are dressed in cute lil referee outfits.
-Usual bar food menu - however they have steak, which is surprisingly good! I know, weird...
-Plenty of parking since its adjacent to H-E-B and a hotel.
-Fun girly drinks :)
-Located on Market Street so there's plenty of places to eat/shop/see!
Swung by here looking for a place to eat as I was in town on business.. Its a good place to go grab a drink, some grub and enjoy sports. Â The service was good and speedy. Â Had a special on beer, although it was still a bit pricey, nothing spectacular. Â I got the grilled buffalo chicken sandwich. Â It wasn't overly hot and it had tomato when I told them to hold it (oh well, easy fix), but it was cooked well and went well with the beer. Â The waitresses are friendly and easy on the eyes... It has a load of tv, that they will change to what you desire..I had soccer on near my table and had it changed within minutes, as I have no desire to watch soccer, or women's basketball.
Review Source:A step up from the usual sports bar experience, Stadia boasts an impressive number of flat screen TV's (most of which are HD) playing a myriad of sporting events. With a large bar area, flanked by an even larger seating area, bordered by booth seating, Stadia achieves an atmosphere the encourages you to "stay the entire game". Directly across from the Pavilion in the Woodlands, it is also a great place to enjoy a pre and post concert drink. Parking is someone what limited due to the Hotel's makeshift valet lot. All and all, if your looking for a place to catch the game, you need to check out Stadia, you won't be disappointed.
