One way to recognize a good food spot is to look at how long it’s line is; the longer the line, the higher the demand is for the food.
At least that was the case at the 2025 NFL Draft, where thousands of fans gathered in the Draft Experience on the Lambeau Field campus and the Titletown district.
While there were a few of the usual concession offerings inside of the stadium, most of the attendees gathered in the food court, right next to the Beer Hall, where eight Wisconsin restaurants were featured.
Fans were able to choose from Not By Bread Alone, Heaven’s Table BBQ, Lil Jamaica, Legendary Gyros, Chandler House Bakery, Brewed. A Coffee Shop, Brokogi and The Marq Supper Club.
Based off of wait times and customers comments, these were the most popular food spots in the Draft Experience.
Legendary Gyros
The Mediterranean-themed kiosk normally operates out of a food truck selling several gyro flavors across the state. Draft attendees were able to choose from gyros, gyro bowls and Specialty Legendary gyros made with gyro meat, tzatziki sauce, hummus, tomatoes, crispy onions, feta cheese and lettuce in a seven inch pita.
Jeff Payton traveled from Madison to attend the draft and said Legendary Gyros lived up to his expectations.
“There’s an authentic gyro spot back home that I always visit and this is pretty close to that,” Payton said.
Despite the more than 15-minute wait in line and the cost for the meal, $17 for a standard gyro or gyro bowl and $19 for the Specialty Legendary Gyro, Eugene Winkel and his friend Jessaaron Baur still chose Legendary Gyros for their mid-day draft meal.
We’ve heard it’s pretty good and you get a lot for what you pay for,” said Winkle.
Heaven’s Table BBQ
Josh Zimmerman of Steven’s Point waited more than 20 minutes in the line for Heaven’s Table BBQ, a Milwaukee-based restaurant. His meal choice? The Heaven’s Table pulled pork sandwich made with hickory and cherry wood smoked pork, seasoned with a house blend and served on a bun for $15.
Zimmerman said the price-point was a little high, but the sandwich was worth it for the flavor and portion.
Travis Benter agreed. “It’s got great seasoning and it’s a pretty decent portion too,” Benter said.
The kiosk also sells brisket sandwiches for $16, house-baked beans for $6 and coleslaw for $5.
Lil Jamaica
Green Bay’s own Lil Jamaica was a fan favorite as many waited 15 minutes in line.
The authentic Jamaican-cuisine restaurant is selling its signature bowls, rice and beans topped with a choice of protein. Customers could choose from the jerk chicken bowl, jerk pork bowl, curry chicken bowl and a bowl made with shredded jerk chicken instead of a whole chicken leg, for $15 each.
Lance Myers, a Green Bay native, said he’s visited the restaurant a few times outside of the draft and knew it would be a good choice.
“I’ve been to Jamaica three times and this is pretty close to the real thing,” Myers said.
The Marq Supper Club
The Marq Supper Club, based in the town of Lawrence, just south of De Pere, highlights popular Wisconsin dishes at the draft with its menu.
When Sheila Hurt and Gary Stinson saw the kiosk, they didn’t have to debate too long on where they’d be getting their meal from. Hurt chose the fish fry, made with two pieces of perch fillets, french fries, coleslaw and tartar sauce for $20.
“We’re from Eau Claire but we just really wanted some Wisconsin food,” Hurt said.
Customers in the more than 20-minute line could also choose from a beer brat and fries for $15, a fried perch sandwich with coleslaw, cheddar cheese and French fries for $19 and cheese curds with homemade dressing for $9.
