| - Already being a fan of the Barcade establishments in NYC, I was excited to try Hi Scores during my time in Vegas.
At first, I was really excited. Solid tap list, check. Free play on all the arcade machines, check. Super nice and fun bartender, check. Menu that is a classic hits list of every delicious bar food you've come across until now, check.
Everything was going great - until we got our food. The artichoke & chicken pizza was spot on, I'll give them that. A nice, thin crust and a lot of cheese and toppings. The wings however seemed to be primarily made with one spice in mind, pepper. They were just absolutely covered in cracked black pepper. They weren't awful tasting, exactly, but...who wants a pepper flavored wing? Not me :/
Things didn't get much better when we got the corn dogs. They are huge, clearly made in house, and the corn bread was delicious. It just wasn't cooked all the way through. So halfway down the dog we encountered some oozy cornbread dough which sort of turned us off to wanting any more.
That being said, the hangover fries were pretty good, if not a little over-seasoned (maybe our bad for doing garlic fries instead of regular). I think if there was a little more attention to detail that the food here could be really solid and as enjoyable as every other aspect of the bar. I'd still come back in a heart beat to drink & play, but probably will pass on the food unless it was a salad or something very basic.
