Outside the Stacked Pickle

The new sports bar called The Stacked Pickle on 741 near 725 has a unique menu, big TV sets and an attentive wait staff. Unfortunately the road construction out front has people questioning if they are open. Well they are open, and serving up great food options from healthy choices , to typical sports bar guilty pleasures!

HERE’S THE SKINNY ON THE STACKED PICKLE:

— It is located at 103 North Springboro Pike, Miamisburg, OH 45449 in the old Roosters/Ponderosa building.

Inside the Stacked Pickle

— Hours are :
Sun -Thurs 11am – midnight
Fri and sat- 11am – 1 am.

Food Adventures had a chance to visit The Stacked Pickle a couple of times after a recommendation from Dayton Dining and Lisa Grigsby. The menu is extensive and although we pigged out each time, we were unable to try all the choices. But, as always we sampled most of the menu.

We found undeniable stars of the menu in our trips here .

MUST EATS:

Try the Buffalo Chicken Wrap

—BUFFALO CHICKEN WRAP:
Fried buffalo chicken tenders, lettuce, pico de gallo, mixed cheese and ranch in a spinach wrap. One of the top sellers for a reason, it is that darn good. Not only a favorite of customers, but a favorite of the staff.

— PORK TENDERLOIN SANDWICH:
Fried or grilled with spicy mayo on a Kaiser bun (Add cheese for 50 cents). We prefer the fried version with cheese. Again, is one of the most popular choices on the menu as well, and deservedly so …

Popular Pork Tenderloin

—HOT RANCH CHEESEBURGER:
This guy is a little monster. A nice. hearty, fresh meat burger served with a ranch sauce and onion strings on top. It also comes with Pepper jack cheese, and bacon on a brioche bun. All of the burgers on the menu look great, but this creation is especially nice. May we recommend you get a side of tater tots as well? Now you’re off and rolling!

Hot Ranch Burger Platter

—FISH N CHIPS PLATTER:
This was surprisingly good. One of the best fish n chips we have had in a sports bar atmosphere. Nice, thick pieces of flaky fish that are crisply breaded. Definitely a dark horse on the menu.

—SOUTHWESTERN EGG ROLLS:
A big serving of egg rolls and the dipping sauce is fantastic. Spicy chicken, black beans and Monterey Jack cheese all wrapped in an egg roll. It is served with a side of chipotle ranch which is hot. The egg rolls are drizzled with sriracha sauce, making this a spicy appetizer like many other menu items. Are they good? YES! Are they surprisingly spicy? YES!

Southwestern Eggrolls

—DEEP FRIED PICKLES:
The hand breaded, deep fried pickle chips are fantastic here. They are thick sliced and full of flavor. The order is a big size, very filling and great for sharing. They are not super crispy (maybe order them well done of you like that), but they are terrific. Served with a side of ranch sauce for dipping.

—CHICKEN WINGS:
Warning ! These are delicious, but the sauces are a step hotter than you are used to at other restaurants. If you normally order hot, consider medium here and so on. Whatever you normally get, take a step down. Big Ragu tried the Hot BBQ Wings and they lit him up! Very good, but whew what a kick! The chicken wings have no breading, which is good news for you keto Guidos.

Lots of room for game time

There you have it, the skinny and the must eats on The Stacked Pickle.

There is one more thing …. The Stacked Burger Eating Challenge..
If you can eat a burger with four all beef patties and a side of fries in 15 minutes, then it’s on the house. Many have tried, few have triumphed. See server for details…,

Make sure you check out this sports bar that is just beginning to gain traction in the Miami Valley. As more people find out about it , it will be a great lunch, dinner or game time destination.

dining room

In it’s first Ohio location, the Stacked Pickle chain softly opened its doors this weekend on Springboro Pike, in a spot that formerly hosted Roosters. This is the 10th location for owner Gary Brackett, by former Indianapolis Colts football player and Super Bowl Champion, who’s a hands on operator that started the chain in 2010. Upon our arrival we realized the interior was pretty much exactly the same, but freshly painted and much cleaner. Sports team flags and tv’s decorate the dining room, with an assortment of booths, tables and high-top tables surrounding the bar.

Once seated we were greeted by a delightful server, Kia (like the car-she shared). Her enthusiasm for making sure we had a great experience was refreshing and she steered us to the sampler platter to start our meal. This gave us a taste of the wings (we choose boneless with a spicy asian sauce) , fried pickles, onion rings and mac and cheese bites, served with ranch, bleu cheese and horseradish sauce.

The menu offers a pretty wide variety of stacked burgers, flatbreads, sandwiches, wraps, salads, rice bowls, tacos, fish and chips and a chicken pasta dish. All sandwiches are served with fries and you have the option to make your sandwich gluten free by requesting a Udi’s gluten free bun. You can add wings to any meal for $2.99. Sauce options for wings include Hot, Hot BBQ, Spicy Asian, Spicy Honey Garlic, Sweet Habanero, Medium, Kentucky Bourbon, Teriyaki, BBQ Sauce. They serve coke products, had a decent beer list- both bottles and on tap. Liquor was not available yet, but should be very soon.

I chose the gluten-free grilled shrimp bowl with jasmine rice, veggies and a spicy honey garlic sauce.

My dining companion ordered the Firecracker Shrimp Wedge- an iceberg wedge, fried shrimp tossed in spicy aioli, ranch, bleu cheese crumbles, tomatoes, bacon, red onion, scallions, hold the onions.

Dessert options available are monster cookie pie, cheesecake, peanut butter silk pie and the brownie sundae which we choose with 2 spoons to share.

Overall we felt the food was good, there was a great energy and buzz in the dining room and our service was excellent. We spent $50 for 2 and walked away stuffed! We predict the Indianapolis based chain will have a big success with their first Ohio location.
