Backpocket Pin and Pixel is a lively and family-friendly restaurant that provides a unique dining experience. The main seating area is separate from the retro arcade games, allowing guests to enjoy both social interaction and nostalgic entertainment. The menu features a variety of options, including the popular Pocket burger and the delicious Murderhorn. There are vegetarian and gluten-free alternatives available, catering to diverse dietary needs. The staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful, offering excellent service and recommendations. Recent guests have praised the fast and friendly service, noting that Debbie was an amazing server who brought energy and fun. Outdoor seating is available, and the restaurant is wheelchair accessible, making it an inclusive destination. While the food is decently priced and tasty, some guests find the drink menu, especially the mixed drinks, to be overpriced. However, the beers, including root and ginger, receive high marks. Parking is limited and shared with other businesses. Backpocket Pin and Pixel is praised for its Midwestern hospitality, quality of service, and fun, kid-friendly atmosphere, highlighted by mini bowling and arcade games. The kids particularly love the arcade, especially the classic pinball, and the bowling adds to the fun.
