We finally decided to try dinner since we haven't eaten there yet. We ordered the pretzel and the nachos to share. The portions were huge and together we couldn't finish everything.The pretzel was good but we really like our pretzels hot with a crispy outside and soft inside. It was neither hot nor crispy but that might just be the way they make it. The great part was that they served it with a ton of cheese sauce which we greatly enjoyed.The nachos were also huge and the toppings were abundant. Again, they were barely warm but very delicious and we definitely recommend them!The atmosphere was great since we basically had the adult bar room to ourselves and enjoyed playing the oversized connect 4 while we waited for our buzzer to let us know when our food was ready.We could see that this could become one of our weekly date nights when we don't have anything else scheduled.

This is our second and last time trying to make an afternoon at the Smash Park in Pella.The games are either not on, not working, don't have all the balls, and/ or are filthy.The food is sub-par. So unfortunate as this could be an awesome indoor option.

A perfect place for your next event or just a casual dinner. Smash Park has two bars, 4 pickleball courts, ping pong, and an arcade! Go alone or bring the whole crew, Smash Park has everything you need for a great time.

We chose to have a non traditional wedding reception at Smash Park and had the best time! So many of our friends and family have young kids, so we wanted to make sure our reception was welcoming for those of all ages!Our dynamic group of friends all had a great time. We did a nacho bar and the food was great, the drink tickets worked well and staff kept our water pitchers full. Andrea worked with us and was flexible as we made changes to our reservation and the kitchen staff quickly brought out more nachos when we decided we needed another plate. The best part for us was that it was incredibly affordable, especially compared to many other wedding reception options. I'm so glad we chose to celebrate at Smash Park!!

What a fun place in Pella! My family visiting from NY thought it was great and that we are lucky to have a local place like this. The pickleball courts are really nice, games were fun and drinks were great.

I went here with friends and this was my first experience with Smash Park. I was not impressed.It is noisy! We ordered an appetizer and of course it came at the same time as the meal. We ordered their chicken nachos, and it is okay when it is hot but unbeatable after it has cooled.I ordered a pork tenderloin & fries. The tenderloin was slightly overcooked on the edges, but okay in the middle. The fries were plentiful, but in the top 10 worst fries I've ever eaten.We visited on a Thursday and the place was not crowded.

FYI: Sundays are free play for arcade games except for Darts and the claw machines. Bags are free but pickle ball is not. We put a bunch of money on cards without being told that there was Free play on Sundays for the arcade games. We stopped in to inquire and then came back and asked again before purchase what the costs were and how it was set up. We only realized because our cards lasted forever and when we checked the balance we still had all our credits or most of them. A couple of us did the claw machines. They just said “oh sorry!” When we asked. Glad our son lives nearby and can hopefully use up the credits if he doesn’t go on Sundays. It is very nice they do free play but would have been nice to know.

The food seemed a bit pricey for the amount that was received.They're ample setups for games so nobody for my group had to wait to play something.

This place is pretty cool. There's all kinds of games to play here for kids, and adults. The grown-ups get to enjoy a fantastic bar, and the food is perfect to sit down and enjoy for the whole family. The kids will be occupied easily with the different kinds of yard games. Corn-hole anyone? Or, anyone down for some giant connect four, or maybe even Jenga while you're having a drink? Maybe a few arcades suit your fancy, then. The point is, you'll like it here, I promise.

Really fun place! So much to do and great atmosphere for everything from family night to date night!!
The atmosphere is great, but food sucks. The food is ether overdone or underdone. The drinks are good, and it is a fun place to hang out, but not to eat
Kid-friendliness: Lots of fin games for kids to play.

Had the flat bread pizza loaded pepperoni and it was very good. The French fries were not all so good. They were very salty and not very fresh. The service was good and they were friendly there.

Sports teams NOT WANTED. Go elsewhere. We came with 12 people during a slow time and we're told they couldn't take us because some team came last week with 300 people (must have been a football team with their bowl entourage?). Sooo, we sat in the bar area and had to serve ourselves. Most waited and ate/drank somewhere else. No sense serving myself. You all missed out on some helacious tippers. Won't ever come back or frequent another one of these places.
