When we arrived, the location lost our reservation due to a system upgrade. However, the hostess was able to accommodate our group's needs for a table. The server was awesome. He was able to recommend food and drinks for all and assist in arranging tokens for our party. We were quite disappointed that the elk burger was not on the restaurant menu any longer even though the elk burger is still listed on the location website menu. The games were great; everyone in our party were hesitant to play the games until actually getting into the fun and playing the game. There was karaoke but it seemed nearly impossible to just sign up for a song. The food was great; the drinks were great; the server was AWESOME! Great place for entertainment and dinner when in Salem.

A novel place to grab good bar food and the ambiance is great. But you have to pay for tokens instead of buying time to play everything. It got crowded very quickly, with not enough games available. And it seemed like they only had one or two servers for the entire restaurant, which sucks for everyone. It’s fine for one visit but I wouldn’t recommend it beyond that.

The games and $3 in token for kids was great. Our server was Alecia and she didn’t bring us forks or napkins . We had to ask the helpful bartenders most of the time. The bathrooms were disgusting. The drinks were good but only go for games and drinks not food or service

The chicken in the chicken but with super dry and hard to bite through. The pizza tastes like a high school cafeteria pizza. Pretty disappointing. The food was always great in the old location, I was expecting better at the new spot. Oh, and they were out of half of the items we actually wanted to order. Just kind of a bummer.
