Stop by Token Game Tavern and you will find a full restaurant, a bar, and a game room all under one roof. Kids can grab a booth with a built-in Pac-Man table, rack up a few rounds of pinball or retro arcade cabinets, and share a stack of board games from the wall — all while you relax with a craft drink and something off the kitchen menu. The food is classic tavern fare: burgers, fried pickle chips, tacos, and mac and cheese, plus kid-friendly picks like a Big Kid Juice Pouch on the menu.

It gets busy on Friday and Saturday nights, so a weekday after-school stop or an early weekend lunch tends to be the most relaxed time to bring younger kids. There is parking on site at the Seven Oaks shopping area, and the space is open and roomy enough to spread out.

It is about a 30-minute drive from Maryville, right off the Pellissippi Parkway, and a fun pick for a family game afternoon or a laid-back birthday outing. Ages: fun for all, though evenings lean more adult — go early with littles.
