…I don’t know how to accurately rate this place. Truly a moral conundrum. I think this may be a “me issue”, but also some of it wasn’t? I’ll start by saying that the place itself is neat and kitchy, gives off old tavern vibes or something, which is fitting considering it is what it is. Card shop attached is a fun little touch, dinner and a lil loot bag, yknow? I noticed board games and a few arcade type games around, definitely a fun lil place to grab some food and play some games, whether you use what’s provided or bring your own. Also, the onion rings… my god, when I die, if I’m not rolled off into the crematorium with a basket of them on my chest, I’m haunting EVERYONE. They were so stupid good. I’ll be thinking about them for a long time.
Okay now maybe it’s because I’m a terrible millennial and have started to retire myself into the boomer category, but I didn’t like the ordering process at all. I’m not big into using cards, I’m useless at technology, and I’m also blind in one eye and it’s hard for me to read off small screens. I also understand that some places moved everything to an online ordering platform after Covid, but I really (apparently) value the good ol’ fashioned hand held, printed menu. I appreciate that everything had a whimsical name, however that made it VERY hard to figure out what the food actually was. Some items made sense, others did not. I guess I like the ease of being able to read descriptions below the items. Again, probably a “me issue”. However my problem lies in my meal; everyone else seemed to really enjoy their food, and like I said, those onion rings were heaven sent… but charging $14 for a BLT that was honestly a mayo sandwich… nope. I thought maybe I was being too picky but when the four other people at my table even noticed how much mayo was oozing, literally oozing out of the sandwich, they called it out too. There were also four very small strips of bacon in the sandwich… I’m not trying to be THAT customer but that’s a ridiculous price for almost no bacon, one wilted piece of lettuce, and two slices of tomato. Deeply upsetting. And because of the ordering process, no one comes by to check on you and how you like the meal, so… ? I’d come back again, and give it another shot, but it’s left this really strange taste on my tongue for lack of a better expression, and I’m just confused.

Let me start by saying this bar isn't for everyone. It has a lot of really cool stuff and great food/drink options, but it is a themed bar. If you can't tell by the pictures and videos it is dungeons & dragons style them. It is a really cool atmosphere if that's what you are into. They brew their own beers, They have a bunch of free board games you can play, a lot of cool things that make this bar a special place. I was shocked when talking to the bar tender that this place has been open for 5 years now. It is very clean and very well kept bar makes it feel like a new place. So I really came here for the food, specifically the wings. The adds for this place have really been popping up on my Facebook and the pictures looked absolutely amazing! I started off with a house beer that was fantastic! I would definitely recommend anyonr to check out the beer selection. Next up I ordered some deep fried pickle chips, these were absolutely amazing! They came out nice and hot had a light and flaky breading with a perfect crunch. Now for the wings, I will say I was a little disappointed in flavor options but that's not the end of the world. I'm always looking for a really good Asian flavor something like a Asian zing, or honey garlic of nature. So I asked the bar tender and he said the the sweet and spicy was the best option for that. I ended up ordering sweet and spicy, honey bbq, Carolina gold, and garlic parm. I asked how they are made, so I guess they smoke them until temp then they put them in the oven at low temp, when you order they flash fry them and sauce them. I wouldn't say I could really taste any smoke flavor but they were definitely softer inside. They weren't though or hard to chew at all. The flavors were pretty solid, I really enjoyed the garlic parm, however I was not a big fan of the Carolina gold. They had a really powerful mustard flavor that was just too much for me. I think they put on the perfect amount of sauce which is very important to me. The one thing that didn't hit for me was I like a nice char on the outside, and that's a just me thing. So I asked the bartender and he said I could special request that they throw them on the grill and char them a bit. I like a bar that's willing to work with a customer to make food how they prefer it. Also be sure to check out the deals and specials, Wednesday is 75¢ wings! I feel the prices were fair for everything you get. Overall I really enjoyed this place and I'll be back to try some more stuff and play some board games with friends!

Faklandia is a great spot — solid beers, good food, and a cool, environment. I’d recommend it to anyone.
We did have a slightly odd experience with kitchen hours. Google lists them as open until 8 PM, but they actually stop taking orders at 7:45 PM. We ordered around 7:50 and were still served, but the bartender came over with our beers to tell us to “order earlier next time — even though Google says it closes at 8, it’s actually 7:45.” I get that 7:50 is close to closing, but since we were within the posted hours, it felt unnecessary. Maybe updating the Google hours could save everyone a bit of awkwardness!

I absolutely love this place! We frequently attend this fine establishment, and it's become a home away from home. The food is great, the drinks are fantastic. The bartenders are amazing, and are gracious enough to accommodate my odd requests. Karaoke on Fridays is usually what brings us in, but brunch on Sundays is good as well. And it's fun to sit and play games while we wait for food.
Ok I gotta say If you want good wings this is the place , by far in my wife and I wings voyages this place is a must, mouthwatering and the smoked then baked feel and flavor fantastic And the atmosphere is so relaxed and welcoming . This again is a hidden gem tucked away just enough . But definitely worth a visit . Thanks for the grat food and pleasant time

What a cool place. It’s attached to an LGS and totally fits the nerdy/gaming vibe of the adjoined business. The food was great and the staff were super friendly and welcoming. Really fun place to hang out, play some board games and get a bit to eat.

Service is insanely slow, have been here since 6:56pm to 8:20pm and still haven’t received my food. Drinks are good. Atmosphere is interesting depending on your choice of style. Came on a Friday night.
