Soups, sandwiches, salads, bowls, and side quests — see what's on today.

When you're out questing, hungry, and looking for an affordable escape from all the craziness, we've got you covered. After a year of having Rogue Arcade and hoping to be the kind of place people gather with friends and family, we wanted that bit of extra to make it complete. Side Quest is what happens when your gathering place also feeds you. Griddled sandwiches, soup made from scratch, chili, healthy grains and real milkshakes- we take the casual into something special. Come for the food, stay for the arcade-or the other way around.

Side Quest serves real food, made fresh.
Out for a walk downtown and want an easy meal? Come on in. Just off a few hours of pinball and co-op with friends? We've got homecooked nourishment waiting-sandwiches hot off the griddle, scratch-made soup, salads and grains to get you refreshed for another round.
The best chili in Rockbridge County? You bet.
Want a shake with that high score? Of course!
Whatever your hunger needs, we got ya covered.
