Fun place; great tacos - Edit
The tacos and nachos can both be made vegan with a choice of 2 proteins. We ordered tacos with ‘pulled oats’ (which seemed like ground vegan meat). The flavor was great and they even had vegan sour cream. Serves alcohol.

Classic Portland - Edit
Loved this place more Before they expanded it and updated it. And food isn’t as good either. But I appreciate the fact that they have a vegan menu, good beer selection, and great arcade.

Love it! - Edit
So many classic games in this barcade and many things can be made vegan (clearly noted on the menu). Food was really good too, considering that this is a bar!

Great atmosphere, meh food - Edit
Went to Ground Kontrol last night and had a blast. 2 floors of arcade games, much of which I had never even heard of, including probably 40 pinball machines, Dance Dance Revolution, and Crazy Taxi.
Read moreEverything on the menu (except the grilled cheese) is available plant based and animal based. Unfortunately it's not that good lol but you're going for the games rather than the food. Think bowling alley style food, gets the job done but you're not ordering it as takeout. My table had the nachos, BLT, and Chicago hotdog and no one was impressed.
Overall had a great time, games and food were inexpensive and ended up spending most of the night there. Highly recommended, just don't expect Portland caliber food in an arcade. #Veganuary
Pros: Really fun arcade games, Inexpensive , Everything is available vegan
Cons: Not the best food

So fun!! - Edit
Such a fun place! The address is wrong on the app, but it’s right around the corner from the old place. Really friendly staff and almost everything can be made vegan. I haven’t had a hotdog in YEARS and they killed it! Soooo good!

Great sandwiches! - Edit
The only reason I came here was because my husband wanted to play the video games. I had the BLT sandwich and made it vegan and gf. It was delicious! Not very many places to sit though.

Tons of options - Edit
I really enjoyed my time here. Pretty much everything on the menu can be made vegan. I had a vegan chili cheese dog and while it was simple, it was very tasty. My husband enjoyed the vegan nachos as well. Not tremendous quality, but solid options to eat between games.

Their vegan BLT and corn dogs were at 100% deliciousness - Edit
We’re pretty sure they accidentally made my friend’s root beer float out of non-vegan ice cream though. However that may have been because they misunderstood that she wanted her entire order veganized. My float’s ice cream tasted of coconut milk, her’s didn’t. Otherwise? It was delicious. BLT came with a bag of chips, and we played a load of pinball.
Read morePros: Almost everything in the menu can be veganized, They have like 10 pinball machines + other games, It was delicious and fun
Cons: May have messed up with non-vegan ice cream

retro fun and modern nachos - Edit
The games rock and obviously that's the reason to come, but stay for the vegan nachos and decent tap list. Excited to return and try the sundae!
