Visited during bingo night, and wow--it was packed and very loud. If you're looking for a quiet…read moredinner, keep that in mind. I ordered the Birria Pizza. The birria beef was flavorful, but there was a little too much avocado crema for my taste, and the consommé didn't have much flavor, which was disappointing since that's usually one of the best parts of a birria dish. My mother-in-law ordered a rice bowl and said it was huge but had way too much rice compared to everything else. My partner had the Alfredo, and that was probably the favorite at our table. It was creamy, tasted great, and I liked that they used cavatappi pasta instead of the usual fettuccine. We skipped appetizers and dessert this time. Overall, the food was decent but didn't really wow me. I'd give it about 3 out of 5 stars. The Alfredo was a pleasant surprise, but the loud atmosphere and a few misses with the food would make me think twice before coming back during a busy event.

What I will say about the Full Tilt Tavern was that this place was nearby my hotel and I wanted a…read moreplace to check out and watch the Twins game. The staff here was very friendly as well as the guests and the food. Food prices were pretty fair the drink prices were a little Sky High for what they were. Wait times were not bad at all and I do love the amount of interaction that is involved with the store with all the games that are also featured here too. My one big gripe about this place is that the games itself are overly expensive and I understand that they give you "bonus credits" for what you spend when you initially get your card. I only put $10 in but I only played a few games since that's all that I could afford. Mainly I just enjoy playing all the pinball games which I was sucker for. It's got a great sports bar atmosphere but expect to possibly spend about $80-$100 if you're coming here with friends . It's a fun time but it's enough to break the wallet a bit

Venturing into the former (what I thought would be vacant) Keg and Case, I slowly discovered a…read moretotally fresh concept with what appeared to be pinball only machines setup on the exterior level at first glance. Upon further investigation, I learned how it all works post speaking with the staff member. First off, the pinball exterior machines are ran by a totally different company than Starcade and all those machines are .25 cents each. Starcade is stucked inside the former giant main restaurant of Keg and Case which offers unlimited gaming for $20. All the machines are set to free play after you pay the fee. There is a bar serving basic snacks such as chips, pizza and on tap local sodas. The liquor license was just recently obtained and the staff seems to think this will get rolling out within the next few months. I'm not a gamer, yet I can tell you lots of games exist vs. just pinball like the exterior. Inside Starcade, you will find both a main level and upstairs (where the former brewery was). It's dark, there are fun twinkle lights and LED signs. Starcade used to be located within Rosedale Mall so come give a warm welcome to them as they lay roots in Saint Paul! I look forward to returning and trying some games. It has a Can Can Wonderland feel but less complex. I'm very glad the building is getting used as it's a beautiful venue. Enjoy!

Now and then, you will have visits where a number of arcades and pinball machines are out of order. Also, they are now starting to get new pinball games which was desperately needed.

We usually take them to the Victoria Burough were they drop a $50 worth of points into the claw machines and runoff some energy. But they don't open till 4 o'clock and it was noon. So we tried Dave & Buster's and what a surprise! The place evidently is completely remodeled. it's all twinkling new and immaculately clean even the bathrooms. It has a huge gaming area. Along with games along one side wall of the restaurant there are 4 huge television viewing areas you could see anything you wanted to see, and we were able to watch soccer, baseball, tennis and college football. They have a lunch plus game card deal, which is your best value if you're going to eat. So each of the grands had two cards to blow in the gigantic gaming area. Food was very good particularly the double cheese smash burger and the crispy chicken sandwich. Service was friendly and prompt. Granddaughter said, in her oh-so-matter-of-fact-way, I guess we'll be coming back here again. (Only 3 mediocre claw machines though, Dave and Buster could step it up in that category.)

It's a good spot to go on a double date, celebrate an occasion, take the kids out, etc. We loved the golf course! That was definitely the highlight.

This time it was a disaster. Completely overrun by little kids who treated the course like a playground. Some had parents who were present and not trying to keep any order. In fact, we had adults just standing around the holes we were playing. When I asked one lady if she could move, she asked why! People were running around randomly playing--total chaos. An employee walked through and did nothing. If I was looking for a jungle gym for my small children, ok, but DO NOT COME HERE TO PLAY A ROUND OF MINI GOLF. You can't!

It wasn't as busy as a Saturday or Sunday, which made it easier to keep track of the kids and likely contributed to the staff being so accommodating.

It's easy to order food and drinks at the bar and you can seat yourself at any table. They usually have whirlyball courts open but it is easier to reserve. It's nice if you have a big group you can switch players out since the games are about 10 minutes. You can reserve for the hour and add time if needed. They also have so many other things available here like bowling, escape rooms and a small arcade area. Food is decent, good options. Really good when it's hot and fresh!

For a group of ~20 it was perfect: I believe 10 can play at a time so we got to switch in and out. The game itself is a mix of lacrosse and number cars - even more fun than I expected, and our group of ~30 year olds plus some parents had a blast. They also have an arcade, bowling, and an escape room - plus probably other stuff I missed! They had tables you could book/reserve which is nice and service drinks and food like pizzas.

Between the classic pinball machines, well-kept pool tables, and the laid-back vibe, it's the perfect spot for a date night. The owner is genuinely one of the kindest people you'll meet and is clearly passionate about every machine and every detail of the experience. You can tell he really cares about keeping the place running smoothly and making sure everyone has a good experience. It's rare to find a spot that's this chill, authentic, and just plain fun. Whether you're into billiards, pinball, or just hanging out somewhere low-key with good energy, this place absolutely delivers. Best part of the night is the adorable shop puppy "Snowflake" who will challenge you to a game of tug-of-war. Would most definitely go again, but will make sure to bring cash next time as it is a (reasonably priced) cash only spot.

I have been to other claw machine establishments, but I was excited to check this one out. I stopped by during the week right after they opened with two coworkers. We were the only ones there and the owner took the time to explain how everything worked. We were all going to buy 10 tokens, but it appears you get a better deal if you buy them together. The claw machines range from figurines to stuffed animals and snacks. If you want, you're able to collect small prizes and trade them up at the end. Fortunately, I don't think we were the best at claw machines, but I was thankful the owner saw which games we were playing and moved to some of the items around. He also gave us advice on how to win! Realistically, we were in and out within about 15 minutes, having spent $30. It's a little expensive but right in line with all the other claw machine establishments. We walked away with three stuffed animals and a bunch of snacks. We definitely had fun and I recommend checking it out. It's not nearly as chaotic as some of the other options nearby.

It wasn't hard to win prizes and they let you swap them out for others behind the counter. We swapped several of our prizes to do the human claw experience (you can pay for it too). My son loved it! They were very generous with the time they gave him in it. Definitely worth the money spent. It's in a strip center with an ice cream shop, coffee shop and restaurants so you can make it a full outing. Please give them a try!

We loved that it came with a bronze summer pass so the kids got to keep coming the rest of the summer. It will come with lots of perks and deals, we decided to take advantage of the 50% off deal on food. We know their pizza is pretty tasty. We wanted to check out the other stuff they had and I will say you can pass on it. The fries were not good and the wings were soft, not crispy like you'd want. Barely any sauce on them. Chuck E. Cheese is not the place you want to go for food but if you are hungry while the kids play you can get a pizza but I'd skip the rest. Don't expect great service, it's a bunch of teenagers working here. I've noticed the games break down a lot but they are always rotating games in and out so it changes it up.
