    Awesome place for the outsiders or nerds to feel completely accepted and normal. Play on-site boardgames or video games. Wifi for all nerds alike. Even dancing! Oh and bring a Sharpie for the loo!

    The management expects patrons to be there a while (they even have a board game menu!), so don't worry about overstaying your welcome if you're playing a long game while dining.

    Best evening to visit AFK? It's Wednesday! When my daughter, Cassandra hosts, "Craft Night"! Bring your crochet or knitting needles, sewing machine, or paints! Read more

    Fun and relaxed atmosphere. Bring a group to play board games with! The tater tots are awesome, and the nachos are spicy but good.

    Come here on Thursday nights for Karaoke, and Fridays and Saturdays for fun in general. All of the waitstaff are awesome! Yay! *loves* to all my fellow regulars... :-)

    I don't know why, but I was expecting mediocre food and was going for the games. Turns out, food comes first. The burgers were really impressive with thick patties, thick bacon and greats buns.

    The service can be pretty show, but there's tons of stuff to occupy you while you wait for your drinks! Plus the menu is MASSIVE, so you'll want plenty of time.

    The battle bread is crack; one hit and you'll be addicted. Also, NOBODY beats Drew as a server. He's my personal savior!

    A great place to eat, drink and find your inner nerd. Try the Turkey Club of Smiting and order a round of Killer Bunnies.

    Get out on the dance floor or bring your own games and play for free. Just watch out for the Trekkies.

    Try your best to get drew as a server. While the entire waitstaff is excellent, he goes above and beyond

    Not what it used to be. Started to pull a different crowd in, a louder and sloppy drunk crowd. I miss the old days.

    Expect service to be slow. The waitstaff is awesome but considering the type of bar/atmosphere service is inevitably slow. Also request the beer battered fries over the regular ones.

    Been there twice and both times it took forever to get our food, they were out of menu items and it literally took over an hour each time to get our bill so we could pay and leave. Thumbs down.
