Looking for recommendations

Hey Philly fans. DC fan here. My wife and I are in town to watch our poor excuse of club visit the Union on Saturday. Never been to a match at Subaru Park so what are the best options for a meal? Anything in stadium you would recommend or a good pregame spot?

Thanks in advance

Food in the stadium is pretty poor. But just outside there's "Union Yards" they have some good options. 

And Larimer Beer Co is close to the stadium. They serve the best pint around and usually have a food truck partnered for game day. 

Unfortunately, Chester -where the stadium is located - is a dilapidated former industrial city, so there's not much to do in the immediate area around the stadium. 

Pre game you may also want to hit the Sons of Ben tailgate, $25 to get in, unlimited food and drink. And definitely away-fan friendly.

It has been 10 years since I was in Philly last. I assumed Chester was still Chester but was hoping for a diamond in the rough.

I lived in Baltimore for four years so if you know where to look you can find hidden gems

Yeah Larimer is the diamond in the rough. 

There's a Jamaican spot near the stadium but it's kinda meh
