This place has a lot going for it. They have seating outside on a deck and more outback in a patio area with picnic tables. The food is good, and I recommend the hamburger. I do wish they had regular fries in addition to tater tots.

One of the most unique aspects is their level of pet friendliness. The waitress brought us out a bowl of water, and they even have a menu just for pets. Kaia Blue recommends the grilled chicken.

The game room was a nice touch with a mix of a few retro games and a decent selection of newer pinball games. I do wish the pinball games were a bit cheaper, say 50 cents and not a dollar, to keep the fun going longer, and get more people playing.

What a wonderful unique place to get a great lunch even if you have digestive issues such as gluten free & plant based. The staff was very friendly and helpful. There are games for families & even a small arcade for entertainment.
We thoroughly enjoyed our meal.

Unique restaurant with fun atmosphere. The food is super fresh. So glad to find many vegan options. Tots are good, desserts are creative. A fun assortment of classic arcade machines and even board games. They want you stay so go hang inside or on the porch. Anyone and everyone welcome!

Food was great , however we never got our kids food and we checked on it. Ours beers never got refilled and the side we order never came.

Went to check myself and they had the kids food ready for a bit , however lacked a ticket so was never delivered .

We ended up sharing our plates with the kids and we left.

They have an anti freedom sign out as well. Which references the Virginia law that you can’t carry without a concealed permit which has nothing to do with no.guns allowed but it says no guns allowed.

Glad to know you can’t protect yourself here .

Save yourself the trip and find another place that has better service and isn’t against allowing citizens to protect themselves.

I try and be fair but this was my experience. The interior tables and booths were old and worn, kinda dirty , like they used the same rag to wipe them down all day. Outside patio was nice. None of the 5 or 6 tvs were on playing sports, on a Saturday. Service was fine but we had to find her to pay the check. Not that big a deal but mildly annoying. The retro arcade games were cool but $1 per play for a pinball machine? Too much imo. The water she brought out tasted like unfiltered tap water. The sodas tasted bad because of that as well. The kids meal tots tasted off and greasy. My 8 year old said that. My son’s burger was burnt and slider size, so be aware of that, very small. My burger $17 was fine but more pink rare when I asked for medium and the fries amount was a hand full, not much. Overall it just was tainted, tables, beverages, food. I won’t be going back.

The arcade set-up and bingo night are great editions to the overall atmosphere. However, the service was simply okay, employees did not seem particularly enthusiastic about being present, and the waitress wasn’t particularly attentive to our party. Food was okay; lots of potential for the location, but not somewhere I would come back and spend money at currently.

We had a great experience. We wanted somewhere to go to get vegan and regular food so the whole family could enjoy a meal. The taste of the vegan food was delicious. The service was great! And the whole family enjoyed the atmosphere. We played board games the entire time we were there. A few of the games were missing alot of pieces but other than that my family of 6 didn’t have any complaints.

I had the steak sandwich. It was good, better than average. My wife had the pulled chicken sandwich that was amazing good! I can confirm as I had a generous bite. I was able to play the Rush pinball machine and play Galaga with my son. I was disappointed by the Chocolate Mousse cake, which has a very weak chocolate flavor and a strong cinnamon flavor. Wouldn’t order again.

Awesome local find for gluten free, vegetarian, vegan and local food. The service was fantastic! They had a big patio, mostly covered, that is pet friendly. And even brought our dog water with ice in it.

Almost everything on their menu can be made gluten free. Wish we would’ve found this place sooner. We will definitely be back whenever we make it back to Charlottesville.
