    Finally got a chance to eat at the Centrailia Insert Coin. The Mac & Cheese burger and Bacon stuffed burger, choice eats. It's still the great same place where you can play arcade games. Now they have expanded to Olympia, WA. Love this place!

    The pizza is amazing here. The well drinks are delicious and reasonably priced. The ambiance is casual and kid friendly. The service is better than average. Tuesday night is Karaoke Night. There's some fantastic talent at this place: Pinky with Pink Vibe Entertainment (Host), Alison, and Mike.

    I usually don't write a review after going to a place once, but I don't plan on going back... Food was just ok. Game selection was kind of sad. Staff were nice, but at the same time kind of threw shade for me not using the tap wall... If you live in this neighborhood, you'll probably love it. If you've ever been to dorky's in Tacoma, you probably won't love it. Personally, it's not worth the drive.

    My first time visiting "Insert Coin" in Centralia and I have to say that this place is great! They have really good food that are decently priced, great drinks and can't mention the free classic games! Came here because I love arcades and this place met my expectations. Never had a stuffed burger before, but will definitely come back again just to have another. I have to mention the Totchos! When you have tater tots, nacho cheese and taco meat all together that is heaven! If you can have drinks, they have a self tap service that reminds me of a frozen yogurt shop but for adults. 10/10, I definitely recommend!

    Stuffed burger, fries, and a cider beer. Perfect. Get this. I would go back for this every day. If I wasn't over weight to begin with.

    This place has some great food and beer. My wife and I dropped off our 11yo grandson for a birthday party here, and we were hungry. We had two hours to kill so we bellied up for the bar. They have beer taps along the wall with a great selection including ciders. You get a card for the taps with a debit card down payment. They have these cool rinsers. Pay by the ounce. Love day drinking! The stuffed cheese burger with bacon and cheese was fucking delicious. Wow! A perfect burger. Fresh. Tasty. And the fries were hot and seasoned. Just a few reasons I did not go to 5 stars: the bartender this afternoon was not really helpful or friendly and not engaging. The serving of fries is small and with so many video games in there, it was hot. But, great beer and perfect awesome hamburger. Thank you.

    Didn't have any food but I came here on a trip to WA and I was very pleased with this place. Seems like an awesome Friday night hangout spot. Lots of old school games that are FREE to play. We spent some money on the paid side of the arcade as well and although it's not the biggest, their selection is on point for a couple of kids to have a good time. If we're ever in the area again we will be back!

    We have been here a few times with different friends and family, always on a Saturday evening. One time just because we were bar hopping. One time for giggles. The past trip was to actually sit and eat and play games. This is not the place to go for conversation and expect a gourmet meal. Four of us got burgers, and the appetizer platter. Two of us had the stuffed mac and cheese burger, and we had the same opinion, it's not as expected, kinda a let down. I only could eat half of it. The kitchen is tiny, so you know everything is cooked in the same fryer. Our server was nice, the bartender was nice, the person trying to seat those with buzzers waiting for tables not so much. The game selection is large and fun. I know we will be back, just not for the food.

    First time visiting. Great menu and kind staff. We have a large family, and everyone enjoyed the food. Especially the picky kids. Arcade style section for all ages and old school games are free. With such great food and drinks, we will be returning again soon. Tip: parking area just beyond restaurant but could fill up quickly.

    Cool game and badass people!!
    Audrey U.

    What a fun place! I'm local and by chance thought what the hell, I'll check it out. Talk about fun!!! I spent the day there, with my husband and son. We enjoyed the free arcade games along with the fresher games in the section opposite of the restaurant area. The beer wall was fantastic, and the food was awesome. Typically when you find these places either the games or the food are a hit, but both were a hit. I definitely will be back.

    Tickets and beers
    Natalie C.

    My friends and I love Insert Coin! For Centralia being small and there not being a crazy amount to do here, this was a wonderful addition if your looking for a simple night out. The staff is wonderful, drinks are great, and the food is okay. Their grill closes around 9/10pm normally, so we always miss out on the food, but the times we have been able to make it, it's been good. Their beer wall (they also have ciders) is a must do! You purchase a card that will be inserted into the wall then you put your glass under and fill up a drink. The drink cards only get you about 2 drinks, then you will need to refill your card, but it's still so worth the experience. The only reason I give it four stars, even though I truly love this place, is because it's just a tad too small and not enough engaging games, I guess. Sort of like a penny arcade (if those are still a thing lol). I typically spend about $20 on coins, which lasts me about 30 minutes and for not an insane amount of tickets, or no tickets at all. I enjoy the vintage aspect to it, but tickets are always fun too. We were really trying to save up for the Xbox One they had, but the amount of tickets you needed to get it would've taken us about half a year to get. Also, there could be some better prizes in my opinion. Still, aside from those minor things, I love Insert Coin and will continue to return for small date nights or time to myself. Hope this review helped (:

Kids meals were high quality scratch cooking at a good price, and the adult meals were excellent. One of the best filet mignons I have ever had. Excellent flavors on all the food, sauces, and sides. Since it was our first time they brought us ricotta donuts on the house for dessert as a treat (apparently it is the owner's grandmother's family recipe). Service was top notch. We sat in the main dining area but the bar was very nice too when we peaked in. That would be a great date night spot. My kids really enjoyed putting a pin of our hometown on the map when we walked in. Overall I can't say enough great things about this restaurant. We had an amazing meal and I hope we have another reason to return next time we pass through this area.

Of course we had the risotto donuts for dessert. Everything was exceptionally well prepared. Terrific experience!

    Rambling Jacks Rib Eye - Our Always-Stop Spot on the Way to Seattle…read more We stopped in for a late breakfast on our drive to Seattle and, as usual, it did not disappoint. My husband ordered the cinnamon roll French toast and I went with the Ranch Hand scramble. We split both (highly recommend doing this if you can't decide), and the portions were so generous that more than half of my scramble came home with us. What's impressive is that with portions this big, you'd expect something to give on quality -- but not here. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing, and the atmosphere is part of what keeps us coming back. The restaurant has that cozy, rustic charm and there's a cute little gift shop up front that's impossible to walk past without browsing. This time we grabbed some Valentine's white chocolates to take on the road -- such a fun touch. This has become one of our must-stop traditions to and from Seattle, and it's consistently worth it every single time.

    The Depot has always been one of our favorite places for special occasions on the Long Beach…read morePeninsula. We own a house in Long Beach, and during the time we lived there full-time, this was our go-to spot for anniversaries and my husband's birthdays. It exudes that cozy, historic Seaview charm that invites you to relax and linger...warm, intimate, and full of character without being over the top. A true small-town and now not so hidden gem. My husband is a fan of their Old Fashioneds, particularly those with a smoked maple twist, and he often gravitates back to the slow-braised pork. Their current Southern Comfort Pork dish is just his style: slow-braised pork shoulder served over brown sugar yam mash with jalapeño creamed corn, green onion, and maple-bacon salsa. That's comfort food crafted with real culinary skill. As someone who follows a plant-based diet, I truly appreciate how The Depot makes an effort to accommodate vegetarian and vegan diners in a way that feels genuine rather than forced. Last winter, I was thrilled to discover the ginger-coconut soba noodles, they were flavorful, satisfying, and perfectly balanced. Their current mika soba noodles with garlic-ginger coconut cream, vegetables, toasted cashews, and cilantro are exactly the kind of dish I'm thankful to find on a Peninsula menu. I also have fond memories of Burger Wednesdays from our time on the Peninsula. It's incredible how satisfying a customized portobello burger can be when a kitchen understands texture and seasoning especially in a place where plant-based options can still be scarce. The food is fantastic, but the service deserves a special mention. While Peninsula restaurants are known for their good service, The Depot's service is exceptional: polished, friendly, warm, and just the right amount of attentive. Although we now reside in California, we plan to make another reservation when we return to the Long Beach Peninsula in July. I'm already looking forward to their summer menu. Note: I've forgotten to take photos so the ones on this review are from the restaurants social media - definitely a reflection of our last meal at The Depot without the drinks.
