We were looking for just the right place to stop for dinner on the way to Seattle. Insert Coin popped up on our search and we couldn't pass up the opportunity to stop and play some arcade games and have dinner. The medium size pizza was just right for two people and the sourdough crust was delicious! I had to get a fun drink, which they had so many to choose from! Carrie was an excellent server! Great spot, kid friendly!

Carrie was awesome and really nice. Very good service. The food was good. The chicken strips were dry and the only downside but tasted good. I recommend the garlic aoli. I also enjoyed the fact the tots were tetris shaped as well.

Stopped here because of the sign along the highway. Super fun! Our teen boys loved that they could play video games at the table! Our server Carrie was super patient and helpful as we took in all the food and game options. Highlight of the experience was the beer wall. A wall of taps where you can choose and pour your own draft and pay by the ounce. Its like fro-yo for grown-ups, lol.

Such a cute place to grab lunch! The atmosphere is so fun and the lunch menu is very affordable. The BLT was one of the best I've ever had, great bread and fresh quality lettuce and tomato and the sauce really elevated it. Bacon fries were quite good too. The pizza was also had some quality crust! Wish we had more time to play some of the games but they have a good selection of classics and some fun cabinets you don't see often.

This place has the best fun energy. When I walked through the game room I was blown away. We took my daughter here for her 16th Birthday! 10/10 Will definitely come again. Our server Carrie was so nice, we really liked her.
