What a cool place. Food was great. We had the brussel sprouts (whatever you do try these) then had the wings (firecracker seasoning) and the mini pies. Everything was really good.
Atmosphere was cool. Would make a great date night location.
Highly recommend.

The food was awesome and had little unique twists on typical dishes. Reasonably priced and great friendly service. It can get a little loud from people drinking and laughing hysterically but it was just funny and not annoying at all. Tons of games to pick from and just such a great experience for me and my wife.

It was my family's first time here, and the atmosphere was different and very unique. Our server, Dylan, was awesome. I ordered the Buttermilk Chicken (Firecracker), and it was oily. I should've asked first how it would be made. The chicken was moist but lacked flavor. The fries were nice and crispy. I rate my dish a 2/5. My wife ordered the Mini Pot Pie Combo (Chicken Pot Pie & Aussie Meat Pie). She enjoyed both, but the chicken was a bit dry. The Aussie Meat Pie was better than she thought, so she enjoyed, although she said it was salty towards the last few bites. My wife rates her dish a 3/5. I ordered popcorn chicken for my daughter and noticed she kept drinking her water. When I tried a piece of the chicken, it was very salty. The chicken was moist, but the batter it was fried in was salty. It was decent once I drenched it with ketchup. I rate the popcorn chicken a 3/5. Overall experience, I rate this place a 3☆. Everyone was very nice, the space was very interesting, but the food was what I was there for, and I don't think I'll be back.

Okay, I am a bit of a gaming geek, so thought I'd pop in when I saw this place. Games tend more toward the social type, with no serious wargames, but a pretty good selection of stuff outside of that category. They did have the games rated ( beginner/simple to complicated) for those trying out new things. Staff were friendly and I ate at the bar--ordered the Brussel sprouts and bbq sandwich. The sandwich was okay, but the sauce for it was a bit on the sweet side for me. The sprouts, on the other hand, were "da bomb." Definitely a must order item if you are into that ( and I am). Service was pretty quick and I left satisfied.

We went to Game Theory for date night and couldn’t have picked a better spot. The atmosphere was chill and relaxed, and we were able to sit outside, which made the experience even better. Our waiter was super attentive, and the menu had some great options—especially during happy hour.

I don’t drink, so I really appreciated that they offered mocktails. I tried the Brussels sprouts and the BBQ chicken pizza, and both were delicious.

They have a huge selection of games to choose from—you could keep coming back and always find something new to play. It started to get a bit busier inside around the time we were leaving, so it’s a great place to catch a vibe early and stay as things pick up.

Whether it’s a date night, a night out with friends, or a fun family evening, I definitely recommend it. And if you can swing by during happy hour, you’ll really get your money’s worth!
