Reviews For Firefly Restaurant Game Room

Awesome local find for gluten free, vegetarian, vegan and local food. The service was fantastic! They had a big patio, mostly covered, that is pet friendly. And even brought our dog water with ice in it. Almost everything on their menu can be made gluten free. Wish we would've found this place sooner. We will definitely be back whenever we make it back to Charlottesville.

Very friendly staff. Neat atmosphere and delicious food! They had a huge vegan menu and could make most things gluten free too. There was a long non-alcoholic menu too, which is a plus for someone who doesn't drink alcohol but wants something fun to drink. We will definitely be back next time we are in town.

Cool little retro arcade with great food. I had the white bean and potato soup which was fantastic. Played some donkey kong and galaga. Nice place to chill and enjoy some old school games and pinball

We loved our visit to Firefly! Michelle was an amazing server who was attentive to our diverse group and their dietary needs. The restaurant's overall vibe and music were perfect, and the food was top-notch! I heard this was the best (insert food name here) I've ever had from several members of our party. From the jackfruit nachos to the vegan crab cake sandwich to the wings to the cheesesteaks... all of it delicious! 5 stars and then some!

Stopped by just for waters after a walk along the Rivanna River nearby on a really hot day and just wanted to say that the staff was unbelievably friendly and welcoming even though we just needed basic hydration. We took a look around the place and it has a small but great set of pinball games and retro arcade machines, plus a decent library of board games. If I lived locally I would definitely hang out here all the time!

My husband and I stopped through on our way out of town after visiting Monticello and we are so glad we did! Service was great, everyone is super nice! Our food was awesome, we really enjoyed the smoked chicken sandwich, the chicken Philly, and definitely the mac and cheese! The drinks were great as well and we really appreciated the patio for our pups.

Here’s my local guide honest review. Firefly is hands down one of my favorite restaurants. I love that they are green restaurant certified. I heard one time that even the food scraps go to feed pigs on a farm. Besides that the food is amazing and they have an extensive vegan menu. Brunch is also a favorite of mine. And you have to try the tachos at least once in your life! Here are a few pics from our gals lunch. Two are fully vegan entrees. The outdoor seating is great.
