Top 5 Tailgate Foods - According To College Students
5. Buffalo Chicken Wings
We were a bit surprised to see this one at number 5. Chicken wings are commonly associated with football, as you can tell from so many sports bars having them as a staple food. Plus, you’ve got so many varieties to choose from – mild, medium, hot, extra hot, BBQ, and more! And during the Big Game, Americans consume an ungodly amount of chicken wings. But hey, there are a lot of great tailgate foods, so they can’t all be number 1!

Chips, cheese, and so many topping options! Nachos are definitely a great game day food for that tailgate party!

3. Burgers
An American classic. Hamburgers are definitely popular, and very versatile too. Whether it’s the traditional size burgers, or the fun sliders, hamburgers are sure to be a hit at the tailgate! Don’t forget all the toppings: cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, ketchup, mustard, mayo… And while fries are a favorite to go with a burger, if you don’t have them… a variety of chips will do!

2. Mozzarella Sticks
Cheese seems to be a necessity for any tailgate! And there’s nothing better than fried cheese, right? These are great finger foods for any get together, especially those tailgate parties. And make sure there’s some marinara to go with it!

1. Chips and Dip
Does this surprise you? Dips are incredibly popular for tailgate parties, whether it’s the homemade type, or simply something you grab at the store. Your best bet is to have a couple of dip options– at least your traditional salsa, and since cheese seems to be a common theme, queso is a solid choice too! Chips and dip are another appetizer-type food that everyone enjoys at a tailgate. Just make sure you buy enough chips, because it’s one of those things we just can’t stop grazing on during the tailgate… and throughout the game!
