Silverball — Restaurant in Columbia Township

BUSTEDball is the proper name of this place. If you like pinball you will be greeted with a graveyard of pinball machines. There are more broken pinball games here than the ones that do work (and many of the working ones stick). Many of the machines at BUSTEDball have not worked FOR MONTHS or I have never seen them working at all!

When this place first opened there were twice as many pinball machines and old-school arcade games, and they worked (see the review below from 3 years ago).

If you want to play some great working, clean pinball machines walk down the street to Shakespeare’s they have 3 clean working machines that are taken care of. If they malfunction at Shakespeare’s they are promptly fixed or swapped out with a working machine. You also get a better deal at Shake’s too where $2 gets you 3 credits.

If you’re looking for a true barcade keep on I-70 and go to a proper one in KC or St.L where there are a plethora of clean working pinball machines and old-school arcade games. The barcades in KC and St.L are a better deal too for the amount of play you get for your buck.

The servers at BUSTEDball are great though. But if a machine takes your money or doesn’t work, the servers cannot give you back your credit. This was the case for the Skeeball on the right side upstairs (it tends to not give you...

Visited for the first time on St. Patrick’s Day and was excited for all the festive $2 deals they had all weekend. First issue was the amount of time it took to order the first round of drinks since there was only 1 bartender, which seemed odd for a holiday. Throughout the night random people came behind the bar and started pouring drinks (for themselves and others), so it was hard to tell who was really on staff for the night. At one point we were waiting for the bartender to come back and the person who was watching the bar went back out to his friends after, so not sure if he was an employee or friend of the bartender. Once we found someone to close out our tab, there was a discrepancy, which took even more time to sort out. As we were trying to leave, a large fight broke out, which made us want to leave all the more.

We had an issue with a game taking our credits and the employee was quick to help us get them back. Conflicted to visit again because the drinks were tasty and the games were fun and reasonably priced. Hopefully their problems...

I went here a month ago and my friends and I were racially discriminated against by your karaoke dj. First he was turning their mics off, yet they magically worked anytime other people used them. He then insulted my friends further by making a comment about a certain song called "Africa." Saying this is the white mans song, speaking directly at my group. I addressed the situation with the bartender, because not everyone who worked there was the issue. Most of the staff was kind, however when I asked for the owners information the bartender supposedly did not have his boss's contact info. It was a really terrible experience for my friends and I who are from all over the country and the majority of us are minority students. I really hope this is not a...
