Most of the staff is super friendly. The atmosphere is fun the food side has video game machines and tvs to play as you wait for your food. All the retro games are free. The games in the games room are paid. Now the most amazing thing is the pizza. I have never had such great pizza. My family loves Insert Coin. They are super attentive to machines having issues and hardly is there ever an out of order sign on them. The games guy knows how to fix most issues with these games. Little is beyond him. Try this place you will love it too! read more

the lady taking care of us was so friendly and social, i just got the fries and a drink here bc i wasn't that hungry. but they were good. it's in an arcade so ofc its so super loud with kids running around but the vibe is fun. not a lot of space for eating but def recommend for a quick bite! read more

I reserved their party room for my daughters birthday and I was horribly dissatisfied with the staff and the overall atmosphere. First the entire place smelled like Woodstock '69. The pot smell was so strong it almost knocked you on your rear! Now this was for my 9 year old's bday so you can imagine the upset there. Now let's move on to the changes, they doubled charged me only to tell me one of the "charges" was just an authorization and the money would be back in my account Monday, well it's not and now I will be back on the phone with management today. Now let's move onto the wretched staff, our server was great but we honestly felt like we were being rushed out of there. The man who was running games and tickets was so miserable to the kids he has no business what so ever working anywhere near kids! Needless to say we will never be back! Oh and the name should be changed to swipe your card because 90% if not more of their games don't even take coins read more

I was looking through Yelp for cool spots to check out and low & behold, this was one of them. First of its kind for the area and located close to the sports bars too! Classic arcade games galore that take quarters to operate. Definitely a good time for children and even adults to get competitive. They have a beer wall for self-serve but be warned, if you're not good at self-serve you'll end up with more foam than beer. You receive 1 drink card per adult if you're doing self-serve. They have a wide variety for those looking for certain beers. The food was classic bar food and tasted as such. Place was packed, so business was booming! Overall 5 stars as the staff was friendly and fast with their service. You cannot go wrong with an arcade that also caters to adults. read more

Fun little small town place. Great for kids and parents. Staff is friendly. Haven't tried the food yet but I'm pretty sure they they have a good selection. read more

This place was cool. We stopped here on our way through town. Food was fairly basic and 4 of the beers on the beer wall were out, but the games and decor really made it fun. My son loved it and we had a good time. read more

Waiter was so rude yelled at us for no reason and would not serve us The food was good when she did serve us read more

food was burnt and the machines took my money they did not fix it don't come here unless you like burnt food

Wasn't so sure about this place, thinking it was a gimmick to get people into the establishment, so wasn't expecting great food. However food was awesome, we had stuffed burgers which were so good and cooked perfectly, both tater tots and fries were golden brown and crispy.... Perfect. Food was reasonable if not undervalued, would of paid more and been happy. Arrived around 5pm and place was very Familly friendly. Will return for food anytime, will need to go check out the retro games also. Staff was pleasant and perfect amount of not hovering. I hope they keep this up. read more

Insert Coin - Happy Hour - Bars Near Me - Centralia, Washington

Awesome arcade with an awesome menu! I loved the potion drinks! I will recommend to my friends in the area.

Pretty cool place right in the heart of Centralia. Plenty of arcade games to keep the kids and adults busy for hours. I'm personally not a beer drinker but the self-service tap wall is pretty cool. It has a wide variety of beers on tap for you to pour yourself (also includes a few wine options). The food prices are super cheap. The food is delivered to your table by a robot! You can actually order from the QR code and the robot brings it to you. read more

Insert Coin - Self-service tap wall. Get a card at the front to use. Charged by the ounce. Lots of variety to include cider. - Bars Near Me - Centralia, Washington

One of the best sourdough crust pizza's I've ever had. Highly recommend. Favorite pizza joint from Portland to Olympia read more

What a fun place for parents of older children to enjoy a meal an a few beers!! The beer wall makes a flight fun and entertaining and the games and food make the lunch time family vibe complete. read more

The games are fun and cool but I didn't eat here specifically because I saw the cook with no gloves preparing food and using a towel to wipe off in between. I used to manage a restaurant and if you are preparing food, washed hands and gloves are a minimum. read more

Good food and a great family atmosphere! Free games to play at your table and throughout, and the fancier games cost money. Tons of games lots of good food! Drinks are tiny though. read more

Loved this place. Always make it a point to find local arcades that have all of the vintage games that are hard to find now a days. A lot of places make you buy tokens. Tons of quarters needed, playing cards. This is not the case. They have a section where you can buy a card to play new games tickets, but all vintage games are free! I have seen places that charge by the hour with unlimited play for a certain amount, but not free games. The beer wall was a plus. Pour your own beer and pay by the oz. Sample everyone you want for about .40 an oz, or less. Why get stuck with a beer that you don't like? Will definitely go back to this family friendly place. read more

The stuffed cheese burger thingy, gave me food poisoning, the service was really good, the ambiance was great, I loved how they have the purple lights, with w free games section for the large families, who don't want to spend a ton of money read more

YES YES YES!!!! I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!!!!! My fiancé and I just bought a house in Centralia and when we were walking around downtown just looking around, we found it. First of all, the retro game atmosphere is great. The mini NES systems with all the games we played as kids are a great touch. The food is really good. It's a lot better than the standard burgers and fries I expected. I'm in love with their garlic fries. And for a real treat, dip them in the chipotle aioli. It's like a party in your mouth. They have some really unique mixed drinks that taste amazing too. But my favorite thing about Insert Coin by far is the beer wall. They have an entire wall of beer taps with a rotating assortment from beer & cider to seltzer & wine. You get a card from the counter that allows you a certain amount of inches in total to pour. (I can't remember how much off hand though.) You take your card to the beer wall, grab a pint glass or glasses for a flight, and pour as much or as little of each one as you want. I had a flight and about half a pint with my first card and it only cost a few cents over $8. You can go back up and have them refill your card with another "X" ounces, then go back and do it all again. They don't have a limit on how many times they'll top off your card, but they'll stop serving you if they think you've had too much, which of course is a good thing. It's all ages during the day and evening, but after 9 pm it's 21 & over so it's a fun place for the family, a group of friends, or a unique date night. We've lived here a little over 2 months and been back 7 or 8 times both with and without the kids. If you haven't been there, go!! If you have, keep going back!! Arcades are becoming a thing of the past so I'd like to see this place stick around for years to come. read more

Food was yummy and there were free games to play in addition to newer paid arcade games. I had a blast!

Trash money pit dirty n bad service. All they care about is getting your money predatory style. Could be a fun n family place but it's not.

The burgers that were sent to us at home were simply very tasty and delish! My picky hubby had one word to describe this simple burger: ZEN. Every bite has ooomph ... I just had to close my eyes and imagine ourselves to be in the center of heaven of 1000 tastes - ALL GOOD!!! The onion rings are just as awesome! The meal is so good that my husband insisted on ordering our dinner for delivery from here again tonight! And he wants extra so as to bring it for lunch at work tomorrow!!! read more

Just recently tried their caramelized stuffed grilled onion burger and it was amazing! Also tried their Mac n cheese burger with bacon cheese fries and that was also really good! Staff was really friendly and I love the pinball machines! read more

Went there for the first time for steak night on Monday. Honestly one of the worst steaks I've ever had. Some shitty sous vide steak that was warmed up card board. No excuse for this go to Butcher shop right down the street and get real steaks. On top of it the the service was atrocious. When Asked how the food was. I said not great and the waiter walked off. Wth. The Beer wall is pretty cool I like the concept. read more

Fun place to go with friends. As a DoorDash driver they are ok. Usually have to wait 5-10 minutes and there's not really a good place to wait...that's out of the way read more

A group of us went after 9pm for 21+ only... 1. The greeter or whatever you'd like to call her was not friendly at all. 2. The bartenders pay no attention to the order of who shows up to get a drink at the bar nor do they acknowledge that they see you waiting. 3. The bartended drink tasted god awful. 3. The beer wall is a brilliant idea, but it does not tap out of the beer properly.. You'll pay 10 dollars for all foam. Its a known problem apparently and it's only "certain beers" but they continue to serve them on the wall. Please train your bartenders and the greeter. The 1 waitress that was there was very sweet. Can't say I'll ever come here again nor will I recommend it to anyone. read more

Excellent service, yum-yum-yummy burgers, pizza, sweet potato fries, regular fries, and tots. And fun in the arcade for the whole family. Terrific spot to spend between ball games! read more

Food was delish and the staff was great, we will be going back soon for the tot-nachos

Passing through town and decided to take a detour and check out their main shopping district. Stepped into Insert Coin and they were so friendly and welcoming! Made the rounds to check out the vintage video games and found my favorite pinball game: The Simpsons. Fed the machine some quarters and went at it. This place reminds me of 8-Bit Arcade in Renton. Had a great time! read more

We stopped in while traveling North. This place is so fun! We absolutely loved the free retro games. We had EXCELLENT service. Our hostess offered to come and get us once our food was ready as we wanted to play games. Let me tell you... the food was amazing! Pizza and bread was the best! We live in Vancouver, WA and already thinking about making a special trip to come back! read more

Food and fun for family as well as some great games. They do serve alcohol. They have a lot to offer!

This was a great place. Atmosphere, food, drink options, and games. It was so nice to see some old school games. It was great to see that they do have hours for just adults to go in and enjoy it with the kids but it is very family friendly too. I can't wait to go back and take my nephew this summer. I hope they will be able to expand to larger facility and stay down in Centralia area to give us this great experience without a ling travel time!!! read more

Food is good. I like the idea of this place. They have good ingredients and people that know how to use them. I like that they have a Nintendo on every table. I've ordered food to go a few times and apparently they get confused on the to go orders. Last time my salad was absence of chicken that I paid for. Good atmosphere, if they can upgrade there arcade games to not eating your money I think they will win. read more

Always good fish n chips and the tartar sauce is delicious. I've always ordered through DoorDash so I'm not sure about the ambiance but food is well worth the cost. read more

I love the idea of this especially for lewis county, but so many things on our visit were huge misses. Biggest problem was issue with either order with waitress who came to our table once to give us beer cards and menus vs ordering via website. She told us it was better to order from her when we asked, but after 20 minutes and she didn't come back our group of 3 families proceeded to order via the app all within span of 5 minutes at the same table. When she did come back after we ordered already and we had one person in our group who is a regular here wanted to order an appetizer that wasn't on the menu online so she put that in and was back with that in less than 10 minutes. After 45 minutes 2 of our groups got their food and the last group was another 30 minutes after the first group with quesadilla and grilled cheese one person's burger completely missing and when we asked were told that hadn't even made it yet. It arrived less than 5 minutes later but completely wrong, but she was starving at this point so ate it anyways. Waitress appeared completely annoyed with us that we didn't order from her and gave us the impression that if we would have ordered from her we wouldn't have experienced any issues never offered any apology for the mistakes or delays. Because of our experience with the waitress and her attitude towards us we didn't feel like leaving another tip for our beer cards so we put it in zero tip drop box, but when I checked my credit card my total was almost $3 dollars more than the total I checked right before we left. On a positive the food was pretty good and the kids had fun playing games and I was told by the people with us that they've never had this experience before. read more

This is a fantastic little spot and lots of fun for adults and kids. I believe my favorite is the "Attack from Mars" is my favorite game. I have a weakness for pinball. The food...yum. I LOVE the spicy garlic wings...yummy :) . The drinks are absolutely wonderful. The beer wall has a good variety. A must visit. read more

How awesome is it to have a place that the entire family gets excited about! Great selection of games, full bar, and GREAT garlic fries! A bit pricey but as you eat in peace while your child plays their heart out, it suddenly becomes worth every cent! read more
