My partner and I used to loooove Tabletop Tavern for the games and well priced food! We came back recently to visit family, and we were a bit disappointed that they've also become a victim of shrinkflation. I won't give them too much flack, since they're a one off business, but I do wish they had portion sizes that were a teensy bit bigger, similar to what they had a year or two ago. Also, my friends and I miss this one pasta that was SUPER good but was taken off the menu ~2022-23. read more

My only complaint about this business is that it's too far from us! This is a cute, cozy, fun restaurant concept. Our family grouping tried several games over the course of the evening while we enjoyed appetizers and mocktails. Definitely worth a visit if you enjoy games with friends. read more

This is my family's favorite restaurant in old town Manassas. Honestly, it's our favorite restaurant in Prince William County to go together and spend quality time together while playing board games and having a really good. The service is always great. They are so polite and so nice and they're very helpful with the games. If you don't know how to play them when you wanna try new games. They have hundreds of games for you to pick from literally anything that strikes your fancy and that you can imagine they have. They don't rush you out either so you can order food and order drink drinks and sit there and play game after game after game and they are so nice and kind to you. The look of the restaurant and the ambience is awesome . I like the way it's decorated and I like the way they have the board game set up and the way the tables are all set up. It's definitely an old town field with a little bit of geeky with the board games. The food and drinks are always amazing . I've never had a bad meal there whether it's breakfast lunch or dinner. And the drinks are always well balanced, and so awesome. read more

Great place for board game lovers out there. This place offers a very extensive list of games from all complexity types and genres beyond your usual Monopoly, Sorry!, or Uno (they have them too). You have games for various player counts: solo, 2-player, multi-player. So you can come with friends, a date, family, or by yourself! They have both an upstairs/downstairs area with boardgames you can choose (boardgames on the yellow and green shelves) to play as you eat/drink. There are also board games for purchase! My fiancé and I have gone here a few times to buy boardgames. They pretty much sell the same games you'd find at a dedicated boardgame store. Sometimes they even sell the more niche ones that we have trouble finding at our local boardgame store. Today, we had an appetizer and some drinks. We had the King's Poutine and it was really tasty. The alcohol menu they have is also a sizable menu. A good buzz and a good game! Though we played a ton of higher complexity boardgames, we opted for ones easiest to learn to not take all night. But they have plenty of game options you can devote hours to. We had a blast! read more

Great food. Great atmosphere. Every person who works here to include the owner works hard to make every visit great. We go weekly for Mental Monday Trivia. Last week once again we dod not win the gift card but... we did have great food. 2 orders of Chicken Tenders and Tetris Tots, and 1 Monte Cristo with Sweet Potato Fries. Delectable! Try it you will like. read more

Someone at a Yelp event actually recommended this place to me after a conversation about board game bars. I'm used to Board Room in DC where they serve no food and also cater to Sportsball and lighter tabletops like cards against humanity. Crossroads feels more all-encompassing of nerdier tabletop, and their food menu is also impressive. The burgers are substantial and they have some great appetizers. Be careful of grease, because my poor playmat got oil on it when trying to simultaneously eat and play digimon :/ The interior is surrounded on every available wall by board games either for borrowing or for buying, so it also doubles as a retail space. The business itself is nestled in downtown Manassas, which is charming and almost makes you forget you're in the bustling Northern VA. Parking isn't directly in front of the business, but cross the train tracks and you'll be in walking distance of an ample-spaced garage. read more

We came here on a Saturday as a group of 4 around 2pm. This was our first time and the hostess explained how we can pick out games then sat us down. The menu was a bit confusing as it was trying to tie things to different card games. It took at least 10 minutes before someone came to our table to take our drink orders. We then had a long wait until we made our food order and went to go pick out some board games as we waited. There were a ton of options which I thought was cool, but a little overwhelming. When we finally ordered, we only ordered appetizers. I ordered the Tetris Totchi Koro which was loaded tots. I appreciated the fun shapes and the crisp on the tater tots. I think the sour cream took away from the fondue flavor and the ranch was more dilly than I personally prefer. My husband ordered Chicky Boom Bites and they were not good. The batter had no flavor and it was overcooked. The chicken was not dry, but the breading just took away from the experience. My friends ordered Poutine for a Queen which was loaded fries with gravy and they enjoyed it. My one friend also ordered Point Salad and it was fine, just a normal salad. Overall, I really did enjoy the fact we got to play games throughout our meal as it allowed us more time to connect and talk. I do wish the waiter would have checked in a bit more. I think this place is really great concept and I only tried a small snapshot of their menu so I assume they have some items that may be better. read more

Crossroads is a super cute board game cafe in Old Town Manassas. They have quite a large selection of games to play as well as purchase. My partner and I enjoyed a 2 player game called Onitama a lot! The food was nothing special, but it's something to fill you up while you play board games. The restaurant was not very busy on a Friday afternoon but service was still a little slow. Definitely worth checking out if you have a board game craving! read more

I really really enjoyed my first time visiting this restaurant. To start off, they have plenty of seating indoors with various sized tables for individuals or party-sized groups to come in and play games. You can see in the photos that they have NUMEROUS games that you can play either before or after eating and also unopened games for you to purchase too. Loved the service, and the atmosphere in here was very slow and chill making it an honestly great place to relax while playing games with friends and family with no pressure to leave like you'd find in many if not all other restaurants. Ghostlie Cola was really awesome, horchata inspired drink and it really stayed true to it. Sheriff of Nottingham burger was also really juicy, definitely on the slightly sweeter side for burgers considering it has apple jam and apple in the burger. So maybe ordering a more sour drink would've paired well with the burger. Fries was super soft, plenty came with the burger and we had plenty more from the appetizer, Lord of the Fries. Their menu was really creative and funny, you'll see that there's a lot of puns and cultural references in the menu items and descriptions. I ended up staying here for like 2-3 hours, and I wish I stayed longer. Wonderful place! read more

Saturday night was busy so best to make reservations. Nice that they have outside seating too. As a party of 7, we were here to celebrate two birthdays of friends. As a gift, I picked up some cupcakes and was hoping they would allow outside food. None of the staff said anything about it. And we did order a lot of food and drinks (multiple times). Food was good. Partner had the fish and chips and I went for the Oh Shitake which was a pasta macaroni dish with shitake mushrooms and short ribs. Portion size was good and half of us had leftovers for the next day. Plenty of games to purchase all around the tavern. You can also bring your own games. Love the casual atmosphere and the vibe of friends just playing games. Service was super friendly and fast. All you have to do is place a card on a stand and someone comes to get your order or refills. There was a theme that evening in which they were out of things. Not the end of the world and certainly didn't affect our experience. They were just probably unusually busy. They ran out of forks and I ate my pasta with a soup spoon. LOL. They were also out of flight containers. Our bottle of ketchup was empty but we quickly got another. Parking was not the best. There is a small lot right next to the tavern if you're lucky to get a space. There is also street parking and other small lots around. read more

LJ was a phenomenal server and worked here. I was overwhelmed by the store as a first timer and he definitely made a first comer welcome and helped me understand and walkthrough of the bar. Definitely recommend coming here again!! Food was also pretty good! Only got a drink and a dessert. Loved it! Crème brûlée was perfectly sweetened and the drink I got was the ghost is cola and to die for! As an Asian with lightened sweets as preference, it hit me right at the right spot! The ambiance is very comforting and music played at the perfect volume for you to enjoy playing, socializing and enjoying food all at once! Such a neat eatery that it can't separately be only a board game shop or a bar but fusion of both read more

Cute spot. Fun for games. Very very bad service. Our server forgot several items and he seemed very spaced out. Same with the second server. Turned our shorter visit into nearly a couple of hours just waiting to eat. Unless you're a die hard game player I'm not sure this place is worth it for the experience. read more

Nice atmosphere and good service. The only thing I've tried that's any good on the menu, though are the cheese curds. Their burgers which they are known for are not seasoned and are very tasteless, my friend was craving a burger and was usually disappointed. read more

John and team are on point! Our server for brunch preemptively asked if we would want hot sauce and salt & pepper before our food arrived, which I really appreciated. She was quick to refill coffee and water. Food was great, music was excellent. Atmosphere was buzzing as the lunch crowd began to fill it up. I stand by my previous review - this is a fab spot for an outing of any occasion! Make sure to stay a few hours so you have time for a game or two and lots of nibbling and/or drinks. read more

My friends and I visited to unwind and play board games. heir cocktail selection is HUGE and their cocktails are named after nerdy things which a lot of my friends found amusing. The chicken finger baskets were HUGE and accompanied by a variety of homemade dipping sauces. I opted for a craft beer from Aslin while enjoying our gaming session. I'd likely revisit due to its convenient location in Old Town Manassas, offering a relaxing way to conclude our weekend. Although the service was decent, it didn't particularly stand out, and the restaurant's interior could benefit from some updates. read more

The sun was shining and the breeze was blowing the savory smells from the outside diners right to us! We just had to join them! When you walk inside, be ready to grab a game and begin! There were people of all ages playing all sorts of games inside. But, we went outside to enjoy the breeze! Ok, so the drink was the highlight of the meal! I could have drank my weight in that drink alone!!! "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" is the BEST drink on our planet! BOOM! Be sure to order it! BTW- the meal was good too! *Hummm-Bowl with chips Be sure to take some time and read the entire menu; too cool for school!!! Dayla read more

LJ aka John has been top notch server the entire evening. Great drink, dessert, and board game recommendations all night. The store itself is phenomenal and makes me dream of a basement looking like this one day. Other John the owner is also very kind and accommodating. If you need a board game shipped to you, he will do it for you personally and that's incredible! Highly recommend ghostie cola if you love horchata and the orange you glad if you need that 90's nostalgic orange cream popsicle. Crime brûlée is the newest dessert and is delish! read more

I have been visiting Crossroads Tabletop Tavern since it opened and am impressed on how this place stepped up their game (literally) with their improved menu. My most recent visit was with friends for weekend brunch. I had Fried Chicken on French Toast while they had Monster Mash Short Rib Hash. Both dishes were really delicious and worth their price. The only downside were that the food took a little while to get prepared and the coffee was not hot when it was served - I was given a hot replacement though. Nevertheless, I'd still go back and hopefully have a much better experience. read more

There was a huge selection of games to play and an even bigger section of brand new games to purchase. The first level houses the more family games and the second floor games have a bit little more adult language. We ended up playing Scattergories, a classic favorite and easy to learn. The food was elevated bar food - tell me another bar with game puns on menu items?! I also like the Thursday Surprise Meals. They are keeping the concept true to their vision. read more

this was our second visit, and we were considerably disappointed. The concept and board game selection is great, but the service and food quality leaves much to be desired. Our server and the others that ran food and cleared the table were all very short, abrupt and definitely seemed like we were bothering them. It felt as if we were supposed to come play board games and that ordering food was definitely secondar. the concept is great, with the games organized well and the menu is unique. But definitely not up to par for a return visit. read more

This is my friends and I new favorite spot! We live about 45 minutes away but the drive is worth the experience! So many game options in their library. They have a huge range from board games to physical games to card games. You definitely won't be bored when you come here! We've also participated in trivia which is fun as well drinks here are really good and for a fair price. My favorite so far is love potion #10 and the necrotic nectar. The butter beer one is okay, not my favorite even though it's a house favorite. Food is okay, I do like that all the ingredients are local, but my sliders could've used just a little bit more flavor. Everyone else liked their food but also thought it was a little under seasoned. I would say the main talking point about this place is the endless amount of games you can play and the tasty and affordable drinks! read more

This is a great hangout spot for eating and playing games! It has a great vibe, plenty of seating, and so many games to choose from. There are two floors for seating, and many different sized tables for different party sizes. On the main floor there is a wall of games to grab and play or games throughout the store to buy and play. I had a lot of fun. Next time my friends and I are looking for a spot for grub and a fun night out, I'm suggesting coming back here. read more

Came out here for a co-worker gaming outing. This was my first time coming here. Overall, I am a fan! They have really friendly bar staff upstairs (Jeremiah), an abundance of games to choose from and I like that they have the option to order food. Our group played the classic love letter, King of New York and Shierf. I am really impressed with the way you get to just play the games for free. I'll def be back to try some other table top games! They had a Stone brewery rep (Paul) that was hosting a tasting upstairs. That was fun to try (though in all honesty I'm not a beer person). Members from our group decided to purchase some of the beers they tasted. For the food options, they have a lot to choose from. We tried the tenders, cheese curds and the loaded cheese fries. The tenders were a great size, they were on Happy Hour, but they were dry. The loaded cheese fries were Large, but the fries were mushy and the cheese (which is like a liquid gold) was settled before it got to the table. I disliked both of these options. The cheese curds were very good though. It's put in a very light almost panko batter and served with a very light thin ranch sauce. About half of our table got pizza and the other half got various burgers; they seemed to like them! Overall, I'm happy my co-worker planned this outing, and introduced me to a very eclectic bar! read more

It was a fun first experience. The waiting staff was super attentive and helpful. The food was okay and cleanliness was a bit on the lower end (tables, games, etc.). The food wasn't great since it was either bland or overly salted but you should really be here for the games anyways. There are A LOT of game options. It's super overwhelming and I wished that there was something that could've been recommended for us at the start (depending on our party size and time) but we still played the games we wanted to. Multiple times, our orders were forgotten and we needed to remind the waiting staff but it was understandable since the place was packed. It's a fun experience and I recommend going at least once but not really something I would go to regularly. read more

Fantastic place! I love all the geeky named items on their menu like the golden snitches and Eggs-caliber - and they were delicious too! We met with friends and played 3 games. The staff have a great system where they won't bother you unless you put up a card to call them over. They have virgin versions of all their cocktails and both the virgin and alcoholic ones I tried were super good. I can't wait to go back, but they are an hour and a half drive away, so it will have to be a special occasion. Wish they would open one in Fredericksburg - but think about how much money is on those shelves! They have different themed nights, but you don't have to join in with those, you can play whatever you want with your group - I hear upstairs is more adult themed games. Reservations are highly recommended! read more

Such an amazing place, super cute interior with friendly people. Playing games while eating is awesome and I wish there were more restaurants like this place. Food was pretty good but not super amazing. Only real complaint I have is that on Sunday they didn't start lunch till two, which is probably because of brunch but their brunch menu is pretty sparse so it limited the experience. Overall would come here many more time, recommend to any nerd or table top gamer out there read more

I really loved this place, it was my second time being here and my boyfriends first. We loved everything, the games were fun, the service was good (though they could have checked on us a little more especially since there was only one other table being occupied on the entire first floor) but the food was also soooo good! Overall, we 10/10 recommend. They're a local business and have been impacted by COVID so if you're looking for a fun place to eat, drink and play some board games this is the spot! read more

We wandered in this Monday afternoon and WOW what great food! I had the jumbalaya, which is somewhat unusual, has a lot of ingredients and needs to be either done right or not at all. It was done exceptionally well! Complicated and hot and spicy, plenty of fish and meat mixed in with the "dirty" rice. Might be too spicy for some, but I loved it. The squash side dish was simple and great - slices grilled, put in olive oil with garlic and a few other things - we got the recipe and will make it at home. Wife had the salmon, which was as good or better than similar dishes at many restaurants. The games were interesting, kinda like a big library where we had never read any of the books. We pulled one out and messed with the pieces and the game board, it was fun. read more

We've been going to Crossroads for at least a year and today was the last time. Food is great and Happy Hour offers are great. Service has never been consistently good. Often, the staff is uninformed or just wrong about the details of the menu. Today, the waiter was VERY wrong about details of Happy Hour and when we asked, he tried to BS us with a story about it being seasonal or from this past Summer(not now). We complained the manager who became very defensive and walked off stating she needed to do a "Customer Review" or words to that affect. She seemed very insulted that my wife used a curse word. Mind you, we're in a bar and there were no children anywhere. Waiter and Manager both very unprofessional. She asked us to leave (we were already on our way out)... and never going back. read more

Great food, was actually pleasantly surprised! Some great items like the Nottingham Burger and the Grilled cheese. Their cheese curds and Mac 'n cheese are better than anyplace else. Their food is why they get 4 stars! The games are fun, lots to chose from. It's truly a place for gamers. For the rest of use there are some good options as well. The staff is a little lacking. Quiet, not very friendly or interactive but efficient. They were out of almost every cider on the menu which was frustrating. When one of my friends asked about mead one of the servers said she didn't know anything about them, thought it was a type of beer. I had to explain what it was and that the question was about getting one by the glass cvs the bottle. I'll definitely go back for take out but I'm not rushing back to eat there unless my gamer friends want to go. read more
