  This place was awesome! We vacationed at the Cape a couple towns over and my husband recommended this place as he had been there a month before for guys weekend. Had both kids with us (8yo & 5yo) and we all LOVED it!!! Went back twice because it was so great.
  
  The service was quick, servers very knowledgeable and polite, the games were fantastic, and the food was amazing! My son has food allergies and they were more than happy to make something off menu for him, my daughter got a grilled cheese (triple decker!) and the Tetris tots which were perfectly crispy, my husband and I shared plates because we couldn't decide what to get... we shared the bacon flight (oh yeah), the salt and vinegar wings (we could eat them over and over again they were so good), the ramen bowl (I prefer ramen a little saltier but my husband thought it was perfect, it was still very good) and the fish and chips (fish was fried perfectly, fries were really good, homemade coleslaw and tartar were delicious).
  
  I ordered a drink from the bar, all of which are named for video games, and it was absolutely fantastic... Street Fighter's Breakfast (ha!)
  
  Now the games... holy crap it was like re-living our childhood!!! Our kids were all over the place and had a BLAST (not to mention the fun WE had)! Very convenient way to get tokens, just let your server know how much you want and they bring them right to the table for you and add it right to your bill. No fishing around for dollars to put in a machine to exchange and the games also take quarters.
  
  The atmosphere was great, they have a lot of posters and nostalgic pieces throughout and the prices were very reasonable. All-in-all, we'll be recommending to all our friends that frequent the Cape as well as returning every chance we get. Thank you, Flashback for hours of fun!

  We NEVER come to Hyannis. EVER. We traveled down ocean street to find a place to sit outside, but with the summertime crowds, we had no luck. So we ventured to Main Street. Needless to say, are we so glad we did. We truly found a diamond in the rough amongst dozens of restaurants. We came here with an open mind, looking for something different, and boy did we find it!! So surprised at the quality and originality of the food being served here. Upon seeing the restaurant, it's on the not-so-savory end of Main Street, and it's a little dark looking, but we decided to give it a go, if anything, just to see what the whole arcade thing was about. We were MORE THAN pleasantly surprised. The food is ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING. They have items on this menu that are hard to come by on the cape. Pork belly burger, short rib wontons, hot soft pretzels with bacon jam and pimento cheese. The ultimate was the chowder (see photo). Mad with pork belly and garnished with hand cut fries right in the chowder. Effing AMAZING. Blows any other award-winning Cape Cod chowder OUT OF THE WATER. I can't say enough about this place. The only thing I would say is they need to have something outside to get people in here and let them know just how good the food is. Clowns, balloons, baby animals, whatever!!! If you're looking to try something new on the cape (as we always are), please check this place out - you will NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!! We will be back...again and again and again, until we have tried everything on the menu. And then we will be back AGAIN!!!
  Not to mention, the service was top notch. The bartender knew his sh*t and told us everything about the menu that we wanted to know, including that everything is scratch made.
  On top of it all, they have awesome retro video games for all you old school Nintendo/Sega etc. lovers for hours of entertainment. Drinks are awesome too!!!
  Please let's keep the most original restaurant on the Cape in business and come here for a visit. Just give it a try. You won't be disappointed. I promise!

  Food and drinks are first rate.
  By far the best Manhattans I have ever had.
  Our table shared several
  Apps. Bacon Plate my favorite.
  Great Burger and Chicken Sandwich.
  They had just newly opened and we were impressed by the service and speed, especially as it was a full house. We will return for food and Pac-Man .

  The food was exceptional with a unique twist on typical pub fare. Excellent selection of Booze, Beer & Wines & the service was outstanding as well,very knowledgeable & polite . All the classic arcade games & pinball you'd want to play available in a great layout along the edge of the restaurant.  Tons of really cool memorabilia to add to the funk & vibe of this really well done Retro Arcade Restaurant.

  A great place to eat good food and relive your childhood arcade era!!! Asian fusion served here! Plenty of tables and wall decor! The workers are helpful and pleasant. Food presentation was great. Kids are welcome until 9pm. I would recommend this spot for vacationers l
