    it depends on what you are looking for? Xfinity live, where the pre party is has a bunch of places, from quick eats to nicer sit down. The phillies park has Mcfaddens, its a sports bar type place.

    There are some quick eat places on Oregon Ave, not far from the stadium....but I'd stick to the complex area.

    The correct answer will be Tony Luke's. Have a cheesesteak, be happy. Its the place that most locals believe serves the best cheesesteak.


    Also, McFaddens is right there on 'campus' attached to the ballpark and adequate.

    The Victory Brew Pub in Xfinity Live (right near Wells Fargo Center) has decent German beer hall style food.

    Ryan,

    have you tried 1100 social inside X finity? It's suppose to be really good.

    I haven't no. Did that replace something? I don't remember it being there when XFINITY opened.

    We have a few places to grab something around the Stadium (Chickie's Pete, Xfinity Live), but I would recommend heading into the city to grab some food. Broad Street Line is really easy to get into the city and back to the stadiums
