Great spot with unlimited pinball for $12. Food was okay and the service was hit or miss (more miss, depending on who was running the register). The drinks were great though, and the pinball makes it all worth it.
I felt bad because we reserved some space for a big group and they forgot to actually reserve it so unbeknownst to us they apparently had to kick people out of their seats to accommodate. So - sorry to those who had their night interrupted! But they really should’ve remembered - especially since they took a deposit for it.

If you're even remotely interested in possibly learning pinball, this is the place to be.

I'm basically a regular here, it's such a good deal if you love pinball! The atmosphere is fun and casual. The food and drinks I've had so far have been really good, and there is a good amount of vegan/veg options. Staff is always super nice!

First off the house made chicken nuggets are amaze. Second off the big fish tanks are such a vibe. Third, the pinball is great and totally worth the cost. A great place to spend time especially if you accidentally *gardened* too hard and are having an out of body experience in the Hollywood district.

Absolutely wonderful menu here; haven’t been let down by a single option yet. Service is incredibly solid and friendly. The draw here is the pinball and this is the best spot in the city proper; the rotation is well handled and machines are fixed pretty timely when they do go down.

A great place for pinball!
They’ve got several modern stern pinball machines as well as some great classic pinball machines! Adam’s family was a great surprise!
The flat fee for unlimited play is so great! I was able to get some practice in on the new Metallica machine and Godzilla 70 anniversary edition
Great selection of games - full bar and seating for food. Good alternative to other arcade parlors
Kid-friendliness: There is alcohol served but it was a good atmosphere - there were tons of kids playing games alongside “more mature kids “

This place is always great. Great for a date night with the lady. Pinball is a great time. The movies they play are unique and fun. The food is bomb and the drinks are cold and wet.

What a badass Portland spot! Bartender was nice and gave me lots of information about pinball while Nacho Libre was playing in the background. This bar obviously means a lot to the owners, who have put forth a lot of effort to make it a serious pinball spot with great drinks, food, and grungy vibe. Will be coming back soon.
I got the Wedgehead burger with a house garden patty, which was quite good but not the most flavorful. Fries and other parts of the burger were great. Though as a message to the business, please keep making your own in-house patties instead of beyond/impossible! The atmosphere is amazing, and the bartender was friendly and quick. All you can play pinball for $12 is an added bonus to an already cool spot. You may need to park a walk away but it's worth it.
Vegetarian options: Vegan garden patty and soy curls available.

Got the house breaded chicken sandwich. It did say “patty”, it’s tasted exactly like a McNugget in flavor and texture. It could at least be real chicken and better than Popeyes for $15 price tag. You can’t eat here…but pinball is a deal.

Vibes, pinball, food, drinks, and service are all top notch. Don’t miss Howdy Pardner on Thursday night, and make sure you grab a churro.
This is my favorite place in Portland. Best pinball spot, great food and drinks, and people! Current favorite food item is the burrito - and it's enough for two servings (or one big)! They have pinball machines you won't see anywhere else and the wristband is a great deal. I highly recommend Howdy Pardner which happens every Thursday night. Great atmosphere.
Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian and vegan options, plus any burger/sandwich can sub a garden patty (vegan) for free. I eat meat but the garden patty is really good imo.
Kid-friendliness: Under-21 allowed until 6pm daily. I often see kids here.

Dang this place is awesome! Wedgehead is actually the reason that I got into pinball. I really prefer the cover-charge business model and I appreciate how they have a simple way for you to text any problems with the machines. You can tell they take pride in keeping their machine in good condition.
The only minor improvement they could make would be to have an online Wedgehead leaderboard, like they have at Star Tropics.
Oh, and Wedgehead also has good food and a great Podcast. 10/10
