I have been here a half dozen times. I love almost everything about it. The food is good and I think the prices are reasonable here in late 2025. I just wish they had larger tables and more room to play. My friends and I always feel very, very cramped in there.

Unplugged Gaming Cafe has kind of become one of those places I keep thinking about even after I leave. The food is surprisingly good for a board game spot, and the prices are reasonable, which is nice when you end up staying longer than planned. I usually go for the burgers and the different popcorn flavors. It sounds simple, but they really do them well. They also have plenty of choices if you’re vegetarian or vegan, so nobody feels stuck ordering the one token salad.
The atmosphere feels cozy and inviting, almost like someone designed it for people who want to relax without feeling rushed. You can sit back with a drink, take your time, and it just works. But honestly, what makes this place stand out is the sheer amount of games they have and the staff who somehow know how to teach any of them without making you feel clueless. Every single person who works there has been kind and patient. They seem genuinely excited to help, which is rare and probably why I keep going back week after week.
If you’re looking for a spot to unwind, play a few board games, maybe discover something new, and just enjoy being there, this is the place. It’s warm, welcoming, and worth returning to.

This business is a one-of-a-kind idea and a great outing idea for small groups, dates, or family game nights. The owners and employees are so helpful and there are limitless games to choose from. All employees can recommend, help set up, and teach you how to play any game. There are also solo games, if you’re waiting for your party to arrive, or are just going solo. Pricing for games is cheap and unlimited, what more could you ask for?
Unplugged is such a fun place to be at. The food Is great. The staff is amazing. Whether you like the basic board games, or you're willing to try something big and/or new they have you covered. The staff is willing to help teach new games to customers and very willing to be an impartial judge when needed on a game.

Unplugged is our favorite place to go when we have a date night or need a fun activity with our kids. The extensive selection of games to pick from, seating, and food options make it a pleasure to spend hours here, but the best part is the warm, welcoming, knowledgeable staff. Everyone is eager to help, whether recommending a game or setting it up and teaching you how to play. Everyone checked on us multiple times and always made themselves available to answer a question or refill our drinks. Faith is a ray of sunshine and enthusiastically taught us 3 new games when we went yesterday. They made us feel so welcome, and treated us like friends. Their love of games and sharing them with people was so apparent in every interaction! Cannot say enough good things about this awesome place, only wish we could go more often!

Been here a couple times with the family. Staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. They take lots of time helping you get going and there’s never been any pressure to do anything but eat and play at your own pace. Highly recommend.

Staff is so helpful and friendly! My friend and I have been twice so far with many plans for future visits!
My husband surprised me with a date night, tonight. We aren't huge board game people, but do have a couple we love. We've been talking about trying to find some new ones. Holy wow... This place has everything to play. All of the employees were phenomenal. They were all so kind, so knowledgeable, so willing to help us find games that would fit what we were looking for & then made sure we knew exactly how to get started. I would definitely recommend anyone who is looking for something fun & different to do to check them out!!!
