    The atmosphere was amazing. There is so much to look at. My 10 year old son was in awe of the Gremlins and the VHS tapes. His favorite was the original Nintendo. The shakes are absolutely amazing!!!!

    We arrived a few minutes early for our reservation but weren’t seated until 20-25 minutes after our reservation time. The waiting area was freezing and once we were brought inside they sat all five of us at a four person booth. Seeing that this wasn’t going to work we waited another 10 minutes to be brought to the party room area. Instead of seating us at a table, we were positioned at the bar. We wanted to sit together as a family, not sit along a bar. We had been there for over an hour before our food came out. The food was just fair. The best thing we experienced was the excitement of going there and the nostalgic decor inside. I won’t be back.

    Everything was great! We ordered the fruity pebble waffle and brunch burger with chocolate and strawberry shakes! It was a super cool entrance and the decor is so nostalgic. Highly recommend.

    It’s not what I was expecting. I thought there would be more to do for the kids other than ordering Fruity Pebble waffles and shakes. The food was good. And the shakes were delicious!

    Made reservations and then were told to wait 30 minutes for a table. We chose to sit at the bar since that was the only option without a long wait. Food was poor. I felt like McDonald’s food could taste better and for the price of the food was unfortunate. The environment was cool and energetic. The food/drinks and the pricing made it hard to enjoy this place.

    Everyone and everything was great! When we first came in and were greeted then to our server! $.10 martinis were amazing. First time I ever had chicken and waffles won’t be the last!

    Server we had could’ve been more enthusiastic about being there. Also the music wasn’t as expected, was expecting more 80s music but it was mostly techno music which was kind of disappointing. Food was pretty alright.
