Game Selection and Experience
Pros:
"Enjoy a 1200+ game selection accompanied with great vegetarian/vegan food."
"The game selection was wonderful and the guidance from the staff for the games was unmatched."
"They have a huge game library and their employees have excellent game knowledge."
"The board game selection is unreal."
"$7 for 3 hours with a massive (and properly organized) game library is a tremendous value."
"Game selection is also good, fairly priced, and well-organized."
"They have a large selection of games for quite literally all ages, from colorful children's games to horror-themed games for adults."
Cons:
"The only downside really is the game selection. I've been spoiled by places that have more games."
"We went last night and played three different games, each one was missing pieces."
"They have a policy that you cannot bring your own game and play."
"Honestly the combination of INSANELY slow service and the ridiculous $7 PER PERSON price on playing games prevents me from recommending coming back."
"Definitely a bummer when you’re paying $7 a person just to play."
"Also did not realize before going that there is an additional $7 fee to play games."
"The website failed to make it clear that playing games requires $7 per adult which feels a little pricy for a larger group."
Food Quality and Options
Pros:
"All of the food was delicious! Love that it's all veg too."
"So many amazing comfort food options, and with a huge vegan and gluten free selection too."
"The food was great, and I especially enjoyed the cauliflower."
"All the food is vegetarian and it’s super delicious."
"With plant-based delights like kimchi burgers and tamari-glazed Brussels sprouts, your taste buds are in for a treat."
"The food is amazing...easily the best I've ever had at a game Cafe."
"The vegan/vegetarian food is delicious!"
Cons:
"Food was not worth the price. Got fries and they were swimming in a broth like liquid ??"
"Ordered the burger & it was so raw it was basically like they just nuked it in the microwave & browned the outsides of it."
"Food quality was also below average. They were missing many items from the posted menu."
"The food was okay, but was expensive. Definitely not worth it."
"Although I love that the menu is Veg/Vegan, the only downside of the night was the food."
"The food was not very good. The buffalo cauliflower was not good and the vegan cheese fries were practically soup."
"It was so hot and no AC... the food was so oily that we couldn't eat at all."
Staff and Service
Pros:
"We had a group of 6 service dogs and we were very pleasantly surprised of all of the staffs knowledge of service dog ADA law."
"The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and generous with their time."
"The staff is so kind & knowledgeable about both the menu and the 1300+ games."
"Julian, our waiter provided phenomenal service. He was attentive, funny, knowledgeable, and accurate."
"Staff are incredibly helpful and supportive."
"Super friendly and knowledgeable staff."
"The staff are very knowledgeable about the games being played and are more than happy to come and teach and assist you."
Cons:
"But until the waitstaff is either held more accountable or outright replaced, I urge everyone to stay away lest your 2 hour visit becomes a 4 hour visit."
"Staff was nice although the waitress responsible for our table rarely showed up."
"The waitress seemed to completely ignore our table for the majority of the three and a half hours we spent there."
"All the employees were so friendly except for our server, Sophie. She was not very nice when we had questions about the menu due to dietary restrictions."
"Went with my wife everybody was nice enough, but then suddenly they went on break without notifying us."
"Drinks are good and it seems like a fun place to spend time playing board games but holy heck the service is some of the worst I've had lately."
"Worst service I've ever had. Ever. We didn't even get acknowledged by our server for a half hour."
Atmosphere and Environment
Pros:
"I love the atmosphere and it's always a fun place to hang out."
"The atmosphere of everyone in there was amazing."
"The atmosphere was fully inclusive."
"The vibe was extremely cool and welcoming."
"The environment is inclusive and inviting."
"The atmosphere was good and we really enjoyed there."
"The atmosphere was lively and very welcoming when I came."
Cons:
"The noise level can get pretty high and difficult to hear at your own table for some extended periods of times."
"It was so hot and no AC. They put 3 fans which make no difference and the food was so oily that we couldn't eat at all."
"Place is small so there's lots of noise when busy."
"The ambiance of the establishment was well lit but not 'boardgamie' enough for my taste."
"Too bad about the attitude, but they probably get mask issues all the time."
"Had a nice outdoor seating area, but once or twice I think we were forgotten about outside."
"The person who welcomes people had a real attitude."
