Zulu's Board Game Cafe

Surprisingly I enjoyed this place. I would definitely go back to try other options.

FOOD:

1. Pile of Po-Tay-Toes (pile of french fries, tator tots, or sweet potato fries, house seasoning, and two dipping sauce) $6: Got a pile of potatoes with Vampire Control (roasted garlic, lemon, and aioli) and Bugbear (fresh horseradish, sour cream, whole grain mustard). Who can say no to a pile of tots? Not sure what the house seasoning is but it good! The two sauces were okay, they were both pretty thick and coat the tots but i'm not sure if i'd order them again.

2. Dragongoat dip (roasted chili and garlic infused whipped goat cheese, smoked olive oil, aleppo chili, served with choice of seed crackers, fresh vegetables, tortilla chips, or pile of po-tay-toes) $8: This is a hummus looking dip but taste like goat cheese. Its thick and easy to spread. Would definitely order again but instead of the veggies and crackers, i'd probably get more tots!

3. Dragonborn burger (two smash burger patties, pepper jack cheese, fried onions, diced tomato, pickled fresno chili, chipotle BBQ, brioche bun, dipping sauce) $16: Great burger! crispy edges with great char flavor. The pickled fresno chili is probably one of the best bit! We had ordered it with tots but we got the fries by mistake and let me tell you, NEVER get the fries. They have the same seasoning as the tots but the fries were undercook and limp and really gross.

BEVERAGE: Viking Blod Mead (bottle $55 / 5 oz $14): The bottle was pretty cool looking and stuck to the theme of the restaurant. BUT the bottle was served cold and I never had cold mead before. I've had it warm and it was delicious. The mead wasnt bad but I think it would have been better if it was served heated.

RESTAURANT/INTERIOR: Very nice place. It is first and formost a game establishment. a few years ago, this was a really small "house" that had a lot of renovation and has expanded a great deal. The interior front is a game store front that you can buy paint sets/items and huge selection of board games. There are two rooms that are used for gaming but i'm not sure if there additional space in the back.

MENU: The menu is themed to fit the restaurant. I will say, I appreciate the time and effort they took to create the menu. Though I will say it doesn't help with the description. You have to reach the description to get an idea of what you're ordering.

STAFF: The staff is friendly and pretty on top of everything. The only thing I will say is that they arent 5-star customer service. The dragonborn burger was supposed to come with tots so when we mentioned it during the food drop off, the staff didnt event blink when we said it's okay and we'll just take it. I know most people would roll their eyes but usually restaurant would insist on making it right. It was more like ::shrug:: "okay."
