Good place for board games and card games. Local MTG community has a number of unpleasant guys though, one regular made a casual rape joke that made me avoid future events.
Great website. Has retail hours and restaurant hours. Can you believe it?
Awesome game shop + Cafe. We went here 10 years ago for our honeymoon and were thrilled to see it still here!
The staff were very nice and the ambience was pleasant.
Numerous opportunities to get discounts just for showing up and eating or playing board games. Was a bit wary coming in because I was concerned I'd be pressured into buying something by the end of the night, but nope, just people who want to play games together. You can even get recs to rent games to play while you're there for free.
Damn did the server have a bad day or something? Didnt mention service charge really tried pushing us out

Been coming here for over 9 years but never came by myself. The woman with glasses and short black hair gave terrible table service.
Not the first time—this is the 4th time in a row.
The corndogs gave me a stomach ache and were very soggy.
I’m fine with junk food. I don’t need the best service in the world. But maybe try to be accommodating and less adversarial toward guests? I know I’m by myself, but don’t outwardly treat guests like a burden. I saw how others were being treated too. I’ve seen you act the same whether it’s early or late, small or large groups. Get it together.
The person closing in the board game section was extremely accommodating and even helped me charge my phone. I feel like that’s a common occurrence in the game area, which is a plus 👍
But the restaurant experience was so consistently bad I couldn’t help but change a 2-year-old 5-star review to a one.
Went to Mox with friends and had a really nice time. We were seated right away, the staff was friendly, and I enjoyed one of the games we played. Overall, a fun and enjoyable experience.
Mtg is for losers
DONT SELL YOUR CARDS HERE! Your mint cards will be graded at lesser value so they can under pay you. I handed them $2000 worth of cards expecting to get $800, got $600 instead. Use tcgplayer instead.

Just occurred to me after one of many awesome interactions to leave a review- all employees go above and beyond to be positive and helpful and I've never seen such a big selection of games. Haven't tried their food but based on the smells I'm jealous of anyone who has. One of my favorite atmospheres for event nights, for sure my #1 game shop.
What an incredible place! An amazing selection of board games, tons of comfortable event space, and a truly wonderful bar/restaurant. I wish so badly my home town had a place like this.
Our to-go place for board games with some good wines especially on Fri and Sat night
Can whoever set the prices at this joint PLEASE explain to me HOW and WHY a double espresso is $10? That is actual robbery. I feel like I got robbed. Also messed up that it was already in my hand being sipped before I was told the price. Other coffee drinks are normally priced so why was the espresso a rip? I asked other coffee places in the area how much a double espresso was just to see and every place I asked was half the price. Honestly shameful. I hope someone from Mox sees this.
Great store to shop for board games. The staff are very helpful and can offer recommendations based on what you like. There is a free game library where you can try out games in the cafe while you enjoy food or drinks. The menu changes a lot and is always good and interesting.
