Ordered a mac n cheese from my child, however they never brought it out. Waitresses kept telling me the food would come out but never did. Approximately after waiting for 35 mins we canceled the mac n cheese order. Never again
Can't speak to the food because we just had deserts and drinks but the host was extremely welcoming, attentive and recommended some age-appropriate games for me and my family (small kids). We had a fabulous time and the amount of games available was impressive. Fun original spot on South St.

I went here for the first time just now and all I can say is WOW! From the moment I stepped in I felt the welcoming, fun vibes. And as I left? Dallas made sure to introduce themself to me and thank my boyfriend for bringing me. The icing on the cake was the bathrooms—as someone with inflammatory bowel disease, I LOVED that part of the “welcome in” speech was saying where all the bathrooms are. Then when I went to the one downstairs, they were all PRIVATE (yay for no awkward eye contact with people!) and there’s even a mirror in the corner to see if someone was coming (as a woman on my own, I appreciated the extra safety!).
Seriously amazing—I see why my boyfriend has been raving about this place. You have a real treasure here, and I’m so excited to come back one day. ?

Amazing space, so atmospheric and makes the gaming and dining experience so fun! We had amazing wood-fired pizza, guizhou fries (spicy!), Korean cauliflower (delicious) and a bunch of fancy NA cocktails :) Selection on menu (all vegetarian!) and also game library is incredible and the basement arcade (complete w pinball and air hockey) is authentic; great service and kind owners, very local and eclectic clientele; good times!

Service is always the same. Your table will be forgotten about by your server. Love the food and the games, though!

Made a quick stop here for food and ended up staying a while. Lots of good food options if you have restrictions. The arcade on the lower level is worth a visit as well. Will definitely stop back when I’m in town again.

A great family-friendly place! We came early and saw a lot of other families playing games. They had games to accommodate just about every age, we even saw a 3 year old playing games! They had high chairs, a changing table in the bathroom and our waiter asked if we needed anything for child, which we appreciated. Also had a kids menu! We'll be back for family game night.
Kid-friendliness: Great family friendly place, glad to have a place I can take my kid in the city. Spacious tables so no minded when my kid yelled or dropped food. Very kid friendly staff too

Nachos were stale, it had a white colored sauce covering the top which weirdly tasted of lemon, and the shredded cheese on it was both dry and tasteless. The cheese sauce was okay though. Friends order also tasted like lemon despite not being a lemon based which was odd. The game selection was vast and they had many unique titles and the service was wonderful. Would go back only for coffee, certainly not for food.

Everyone is super friendly, they narrated the board game story as we were playing and even sat down with us to teach us a more complicated game. Amazing staff!

Great atmosphere when it got a bit busy service started to get a bit slower. Food was amazing vegan / vegetarian. I wish there were some meat options but understandable that wasn't their vibe
