Pros:-Service is always amazing-The chicken is exceptional-Sauces are good plus the variety of the sauces means there's something for everyone.-Pile of tay-toes (your choice of tater tots, French fries, or sweet potato fries) is by far one of the best choices on the menu-Decent drink prices and selection-Great selection of board games or TCG products-Many events to sign up for-Theming and styleCons:Note: these are my subjective experiences/opinions-Parking is pretty abysmal-Smash burgers are pretty thin on the beef, I feel that doubling on the patties could let the beef contend with the other flavors on the burger.-Seating is usually a crapshoot even during the week. Reserving a table is basically the only way to guarantee seating, but even then, it can be pretty rough due to the amount of events that are run even reserving a table can be hard-Noise is almost always a problem, I leave without my voice on most occasions just trying to communicate with my fellow playersWith all the pros and all the cons I still give zulus games a 4 star review. They can't control the parking for the area, and there are paid options around (albeit very expensive for the area) and the free parking is available sometimes. It is a lively game store with amazing style and its a fun place to be. I will be buying most of my product from there, but I don't intend to sit at the tables too much.
Amazing card and game store that sells great food and alcoholic drinks. So if you want to relax and game with friends. While enjoying food or a drink, this place is it. Also, have great pre-release and game events.

We went for a pre-release Magic event, which was my first ever, and first time at this location. The food was delicious, the staff was friendly and helpful, and as a newbie, I felt safe and comfortable playing with a good crowd of people. Highly recommend the Mac and cheese, and Zulu's dipping sauce!Vegetarian options: Vegan and vegetarian options were available, and were well seasoned!Dietary restrictions: Clearly labeled gluten free, dairy free, vegan/vegetarian choices.Parking: Not a lot of free options, we parked down the hill and walked. Some small street parking in front, and paid for parking lots nearby are available too.

A premier local board game store. It’s clear management loves games and wants to create that elusive "3rd place". It's organic growth can be felt when you walk in, defo adventurer inn vibes, solid food, and great friendly service. I've participated in several of the weekly tournaments and they are well run, fun, and active. Great beer list, great times, a true treasure to hold.Kid-friendliness: Pokemon cards!Wheelchair accessibility: Behind the store there's wheelchair parking and a ramp

Browsed for some boardgames and tried out their food. The place is open seating unless reserved by someone, so when you order food/pay let them know what area you'll be in, they bring the food to you. Also after you're done eating, pick up after yourself, they have a tray to drop off the plates in all the areas and a trash bin next to it. It was packed when I went and the table available had the previous people's plates on it. The food was great! Tried the Dragonborn Burger, Tasha's Mac n Cheese with added hydra strips (chicken tenders), and Reanimate Bread. They're nice portions to fill you up. I ordered tots with my burger and they were nicely seasoned and crispy, usually when I get tots they're not that great and soggy. My girlfriend and I left Zulu's very full and wish we could eat more of their great food!Parking: Zulu has 4 parking spots to their name + 1 handicap spot. Most likely have to look for street parking or pay at a nearby lot. I found a spot on the street quickly but it's limited to 2hrs M-F from 9am-4pm but verify the signage wherever you park. So after that window I guess you can stay as much as you want.

This place exceeded my expectations. I haven't had that much fun with a board game for years. Great food, great people to be around, awesome location, I went home that day and created a Dungeons and Dragons account and a character, bravo Zulu's board and games. You are doing it right.

My friends and I had a great time here! We do want there to be more games to play. But it’s also nice to know that we can bring our own from home as well. Such a great atmosphere. We love the place. We will be returning!
I love Zulu's. The staff are always kind and the food is great - but I have not been able to go in over a month. Parking is impossible (though there are paid lots nearby) and whenever I go all the tables are reserved for events. A few months ago I went to the event center nearby, but even there it was reserved only.I guess if you want to enjoy Zulu's, you need to be a Magic player or reserve far in advance. It's unfortunate since I used to love coming, eating food and having a space to play boardgames for a few hours but now there is no space for me and my friends.

The food is great, let me just say that. But recently they changed their game room policy to no longer accept reservations, and are moving to a "first come, first served" format. This is basically a slap in the face to loyal patrons who depend on reserving a space for group games, which can already be a challenge to schedule. So what now, a group shows up and just has to HOPE that there's space to play? Very poor business move, and I don't plan on making any future trips to Zulu's after they've betrayed loyal customers so blatantly.

Really cool atmosphere I love the theme decor and the beverages are great. I've mainly gone there to play games with friends so I can't comment on the food but it's just kind of a fun place to walk into. The outside deck is cool too.Wheelchair accessibility: They have stairs up the main entrance. I didn't see the wheelchair accessible entrance but there might be one on the side or in the back

Interacted with the online side of the business. They were polite and professional. If people are checking them out for online orders they are legit.
