Went there as a kid and decided to revisit the place as an adult. Went for my 9th birthday and my 31st. Revisiting this place as an adult was sort of like trying to crawl back into a bouncy castle but this time as an adult. I remembered it being bigger and much more impressive but the point is that it left such an impression on little me that I remembered it 20+ years. This place is unique and fun. It's got a groovy, quirky atmosphere and feels like it should be featured on Diners, Drive ins, and Dives. There's a bar and grill, as promised by the name. I spent most of my time checking out the decor and only a little bit of time playing the games. We went on a Saturday and it was fairly crowded with the traditional 9 year old birthdays. The food was adequate. My build your own pizza was better than my partner's rather bland Mac and Cheese pizza offering. And the "Alien Ears" (powdered sugar desert) were a fun and special little surprise that I'm glad we indulged in. I was surprised to see gluten free offerings on the menu. The games are your typical arcade offerings. I didn't feel particularly scammed by any of them. I know what arcade games are and they did have some skill games that were more focused on offering a fun experience rather than the thrill of realizing a claw machine is rigged. Staff was amazingly helpful, upbeat and chipper. They seemed to genuinely care when I had an issue getting quarters for the machines in the lobby, separate from the arcade. Overall, if you never miss your local county fair when it comes to town or are a frequent guest at the State Fair and you don't mind an "out of this world" paint job over the same vibes, this should help tide you over even in the dead of winter until you and your family can get back on those tea cup rides.

I had an amazing experience! I was recently diagnosed with celiac disease and rarely go out due to cross contamination and an overall misunderstanding of the disease. I mentioned to the staff that I needed a new salad because the one I had was made with croutons. The (I'm assuming) Manager on duty announced to his staff to remake the salad without croutons and the safety protocols required. They were so kind. Not always the case when you need these kind of accommodations. I was blown away! Eating out with this disease is often very stressful, so I cannot thank this team enough for being so kind and accommodating!
