It felt like 1982 when I walked in and heard all the arcade machines. This place is not quiet but it's not too much either. I miss arcades, the sounds and lights, all the classic machines being played. Awesome.
Old and young people were there on a Friday night eating and playing games. This place is my style! Made for me.
It wasn't packed but it was populated. Everyone was friendly there. We ordered a gluten free pizza and a taco pizza. They didn't take that long to make them. The pizzas were good but nothing like what I am used to. It was more authentic Italian style pizza. Different crust and sauce. There was a lot of vegan stuff available on the menu and build your own pizza. For one sheet of paper the menu had a lot to offer. I don't do vegan or gluten free but it's there if you want it.
They have a bar there also. I will try that next time, it looked well stocked. There is a parking lot right across the street so you don't have to pay to park. And you don't have to park on a busy street. That was a big plus.
They were a little busy so we actually had to go to the bar and ask for our bill. I also had to stop a server and ask for a box to take home the leftovers in. I reluctantly removed a star for that. I feel bad because there are very nice people working there, way better than average. We see how they do next visit.
I would recommend this restaurant if you want a clean and casual place to eat. Definitely a T-shirt and jeans place not a shirt and tie place. I usually tip 25 percent. Service is a big deal and these people have very hard jobs. Work with the public and you will gain a new respect for what these people put up with.
Because we waited 15 mins and had to ask for the bill we only tipped 15 percent. I think that's fair. We will see how it goes next time, I will definitely go back again.

We were in town for a soccer tournament with 14 thirteen year old girls and went here for dinner. I worked with them ahead of time to come up with a menu and they went so far above and beyond considering they aren't set up normally for big groups. They were so awesome, especially lorelle and the girls had a blast playing all the old school games, but not as much fun as the parents did!! The food was awesome as well. Can't recommend it enough.

This place is always a good time. The staff are friendly and always super helpful. The games are fun and consistent with original pricing, so not super expensive. Food is top notch. Pizza always hits the spot.

Stopped on our way through the area, and sure glad we did! Different kind of place but perfect for the nerdy folk, brewery folk, nostalgia gaming or just good food! Okay so pretty much everyone

I am BEYOND impressed with the service I received on a take out order (thank you Chris). A masterful solution was created to a menu item I had ordered being unavailable and not being able to contact me. I will be visiting again soon for excellent service I can count on!

Their online order system really sucks, just go eat at the restaurant, that way you can play retro pinball and arcade games.

Loved the atmosphere and playing the old arcade games! The fried pickles and toasted ravioli were good, but the Mario pizza and meatball sandwich were just so so.

Super fun place! A lot of arcade games for all ages to enjoy. Very fast with service and food. Large selection of pizza, pastas, deserts & more. Fun lunch tray for the kids menu. On the road parking can be troublesome. Lots of fun & retro artwork.

It was a long wait but we enjoyed the games while we waited. It was clear they were understaffed as tables sat empty for awhile before being bussed. The staff we did interact with were caring and pleasant though. The food tasted good. Wouldn’t have even thought to leave a review if the gluten free meal we got would have actually been gluten free.
Dietary restrictions: Don’t trust the gluten free options. Despite asking the right questions our kiddo was without a doubt glutened and is now miserable
