Been here 3 times now. Lots of fun! Food is usually good, drinks are delish from what people tell me (I'm not a drinker). Service is iffy, depending on who you get. In my experience, a guy named Cam is the best. If a machine or game does not work they are pretty good about giving you your tokens back. Would definitely recommend and will be going back.

Never ate here before, atmosphere is why you come here. Arcade games from early 90's and beyond! Everything works, place is clean and the draft beer on tap is always changing abundant and perfect temp! Service here is great!

Place was very busy, lots of people enjoying themselves. Games have very little wait and low cost. Food was very good! We got the house salad and hot wings. Our group had a great time here and was definitely entertained.

The totchos are too legit! A must when eating here. Environment was so fun. Very kid friendly. The games are a blast and 5 goes a long way! Killer queen is the move if you’ve got 6-10 people.

Zeb and his team do an amazing job! We came from Michigan and googled nearest arcade and it brought us here and it did not disappoint a bit tons of pinball machine, machines and vintage video games. Great time!!! Highly recommend!!

No better place to enjoy some old school arcade/pinball while drinking a refreshing cold beer and eating some delicious food. Highly recommend this place if you are looking for a fun evening, especially with friends!

Absolutely DELICIOUS food, creative cocktails, and a relaxed, awesome atmosphere. Like an in indie version Dave & Busters with a much better game selection. Can't wait to go back! Definitely recommend the pretzel bites appetizer, any of the sliders, and the frosted flakes-battered fried chicken.
