This review is about an interesting DELICIOUS way to work both sports and tasty food into your day! Sluggers is the answer to a prayer, both for the sports afficianado AND for the down-home gourmet in your group!
Located on 2nd Street, Sluggers is easy to find and has ample parking as well. Located on the North side of the "Coralville strip", it is best entered and exited when going west but there are turning lanes available so if you are careful, you should be fine.
The array of eats in this place is fantastic. From luscious Reuben sandwiches and other deli eats, SLUGGERS is batting 1000 when it comes to variety. One of my fav's here is the "cheesy fries" a concoction of french fries with a luscious topping of melted cheeses, jalipenos and bacon crumbles. Though I usually have them eliminate the peppers I have been told they are wonderful...top notch in the pepper field! I think I'll take hubby's word for it....I'm not a pepper person! ;-)
Of course there are many more delicitable delights available here along with many varieties and sizes of beer, ale and of course mixed drinks as well. Try one of their burgers...they are super!
On screens liberally scattered across this restaurant, you can watch whatever sport is available at the time. It's obviously a popular place on IOWA HAWKEYE game day! And if that isn't enough for you, SLUGGERS has an outdoor eating area that is lots of fun on hot Iowa evenings!
Prices are reasonable when you think about the amount of food you get with your order....I swear, they planned these portions with HAWKEYE football players in mind!
I suggest you call ahead to see if they are super busy as it can get quite crowded at times. And I do suggest you add this place to your "must visit" list...it's a sports treat that can't be beat! ENJOY...and GO HAWKS!!!
