The Game Table Cafe

Avoid this place only if you hate fun, making friends, or good food! This is a great place to relax with a nice meal and friends or to try out games that may have caught your eye but require a test run or two before committing. We only went once (discovered this gem too late before moving), but in our one visit, it is clear that the owners are genuinely good-hearted people who have a passion for their product (tabletop games/board games, quality time with family and friends, and tasty food). The restaurant has a cozy cafe feel, where it could just as well be book shelves as games all around. The "play" game selection is huge (several hundred at least), and their sale options are substantial, too. And just because it has a game focus does not mean they skimp on the food quality. It was just my wife and I, but everything we tried was delicious (buffalo chicken wrap, BBQ sandwich, potato soup, and Tunisian chickpea soup). I would have liked to come back for a game night and see how smoothly that goes, but it's not in the cards, I suppose.

This place is fantasic. I got the latte and turkey provolone. The latte was rich and effective. The turkey prov. is delicious, it has this wonderful cranberry mayo that made the sandwhich. The atmosphere is so chill, with a very wide variety of games and you can even buy Magic the Gathering and other games. It encourages interaction with people instead of being stuck in your phone or watching TV. The owner, Tom, is friendly and will answer questions about the food and games for you. If I could give this 10 stars I would. Best Cafe in PA.

Wonderful casual gaming experience with over 600 games to choose from. It's only $6 to spend all day playing board games. The coffee is also lovely. Plus, there are vegan dairy products for coffee and a really good vegan bean burger on the menu. Definitely going to come here regularly for date night <3

Definitely a hidden gem in Mechanicsburg. The food and drinks are nice, the interior is cozy and clean, and the staff are amazing. The owner even recommended my date and me some games to try, as well as helped us get them set up and taught us how to play. Always worth the hour drive it takes me to get there. The only downside is that it is a little cramped, but they make due with what they have.
