The food here is great and priced even better. I really enjoyed how the chicken wings are battered. All of the staff looked like they were having a good time. All the arcade games really makes this place unique in town. Everything from classics like Pac-Man all the way to modern ones on the Nintendo Switch. I will definitely be telling everyone I know about this place.
Double Tap is one of our favorite spots in Palestine! The sweet potato waffle fries and spicy ranch are amazing! They've got a fun little arcade that keeps both kids and adults entertained. My daughter always walks out with at least 5 rubber ducks from their vending machine?it's her favorite part! Great food, fun vibe, and super family-friendly.
Came to eat while passing through town for work, the server Eric was AMAZING! Friendly, outgoing, and kind. The menu has lots of unique items that were hard to choose between! The Mac pizza was very good as well as the mozzarella sticks and the bomb cake was fantastic. Very welcoming and friendly atmosphere. Will be a must-stop on any future trips in the area!! Hope to come back for events and bring friends! Definitely reccomend!
If you're looking for a fun, chill place to hang out with your friends, this is it. The food is not only great, with a very creative and fun menu, but the prices are very fair and reasonable. I love a great burger, and The Ranch Hand Double is definitely one. The pizzas are soooo good! The staff are fun and friendly, with a great "family" vibe. You can tell that everyone here loves their job, and each other. That makes a huge difference. The Manager truly cares about her restaurant, and it shows. Above and
Family friendly is Cool, unless arcade games 3 ft from some tables. Also Liner Machines in place. No Crust for pizza so no Pizza. Server was great poor guy. The pics on the website were good though that's what got us in. Very Very Loud. We all had the Ribeye Steak, leave the cooking to someone that knows how. Fries were nice n hot however, frozen fries. Nothing special to see here.
I stopped by after work today to bring something home to eat. The staff greeted me immediately and were super friendly. I order the Philly Cheese steak. While I waited for my order I was able to enjoy a football game and dog show on their many televisions. They also had several games available to play and a nice music selection playing. The restaurant was also very clean. My food was ready in less than ten minutes. After my 15 minute drive home my fries were still crispy and the sandwich was delicious! Th
I walked in and was immediately welcomed by a lovely person named Kali. I chilled for a few hours, drank a few brews, played Smash Bros in the back, and made a few new friends. 10/10 would recommend.
So glad we got an awesome place here in Palestine like this. We got the game over fries with stake and two drinks. The twisted tea on draft!!! Yes sir great And they have DIG DUG!!!!
I would say this place is just okay and we probably won't be back. Other than cheap beer it doesn't have much going for it. The food was mediocre and nothing you can't get in the freezer section of Walmart. My nachos we're so flavorless and the cheese sauce was like paste. My husband said his sandwich was just okay but the sweet potato fries were good.
If you are looking for a casual, sports bar feel this is the place. Nothing like it in Palestine. Food is amazing and service is even better. Had the Philly and mac attack nuggets and they were both amazing. Beer is cheap!! Whole meal was only $30!
We had my son?s birthday party last weekend here. They are absolutely amazing and a great atmosphere. Bring your family with your kids! Arcade and great food. Owners a great and service is top notch!
It was ok, asked for plain chicken wings, they came out so hot and spicy, I couldn't even eat one bite! Ruin my mouth for all nite! At least they could have told me they don't have non spiced wings.... Not happy, but they did not charge me for them, as I sent them back immediately! Thanks!
The grilled cheese sandwich was very small . It was 13 bucks for a small 6 inch roll with barely any cheese or macaroni in it and a side of french fries. I was astonished when it came out and thought maybe they ran out of ingredients or something. The fries were good and the Service was good. But you can't charge 13 bucks for For a grilled cheese sandwich and not at least give a decent size portion
Awesome place, great beer on tap and cool atmosphere! ?????????? Our server was great even when he got overwhelmed. He was running the whole place while the Lazy manager just watched him work. Very frustrating. Food was really good, however cold because our server had no backup. Totally could end up as a bar rescue situation fast if they don't take care of the obvious management issue. I want this place to succeed because it's really cool and there is nothing like this in Palestine. ??
Was referred to this place by a local and decided to try it out. Bree the bartender was absolutely amazing. Full energy, bubbly, and offered recommendations and suggestions right from the beginning. Appetizer was delicious, as was the Smashburger that she suggested. Went with traditional fries, which were also great. Definitely a place to stop while you're here in Palestine.
A nice little spot tucked away downtown. Open late? good entertainment?. Food was good! And they have a little space tucked back in the back for events.
While traveling from Northeast Louisiana to North Zulch Texas to purchase calves( shout out to Tanner and Katie Skinner, Skinner?s ranch), we decided on the way back to find lunch/dinner. It was about 4:00 on a Sunday afternoon. We found this restaurant on Google. The menu looked good and they had good ratings. Now because of the construction down town Palestine it was difficult to locate but we lucked up on a jewel of a restaurant. It's your typical Texas decor but the food was good. My husband had t
We love to watch all the games here. It's even cool enough that our teenage boys are willing to join us! The atmosphere is very inviting and the entire staff is extra friendly. The food is always great, and the service is extremely quick. There hasn't been anything that we've tried that we didn't like. I personally love the Spicy Italian Hoagie. The guys of the fam seem to really enjoy the wings.
This is one of our family night spots to take the kids. The games a situated against all of the walls and the tables are in the center so you can have eyes on your kids at every angle. The pizza is really good!
Vibes were awesome. It giving ?good, fun bar food and drinks but with games too?. I honestly had a great time and would go back. Service was great!
This isn't your typical chain bar (like Chili's). Nah, these guys will remember your order from the night before, and actually have a personal interaction with you. That, and the vibes here hit a demographic that most places in Palestine won't bother with. Honestly, my one regret is not coming here sooner.
Eric is a gentleman and a scholar. It was a little slow when we arrived. Shortly thereafter, it was packed. The man was running all over the place. Putting tables together for large families, getting all the drinks, taking all the orders, and making everyone feel welcome. The pinnacle of hospitality! Meanwhile, the manager was sitting next to the bar the entire time, except for when she was changing the channel on the TV. Seems like the setup to every Bar Rescue episode. Solid recipes on the menu. The che
Food looked like it was just thrown in the bag. They forgot my husband's meal. The poor door dash guy who's a Vet with one leg goes back to get my husband's food was treated like crap. RESPECT OUR VETERANS......NO gravy on the sandwich, cold as hell. Not recommended.
Fun atmosphere, service was great, and food was delicious. Good vibes overall. Nice selection of drinks too. Check it out!
We tried this place on a Sunday on the buffet day. The service was good. Their was a little wait for the check. The food was just okay. It didn't taste bad, but the food didn't knock your socks off either.
This is a new place. I wish the best for this place. Kinda wired. They do have ski ball $1.00. Video games. The sliders were good. Fries over done. They have a bar. The bartender needs some cummunacation skills. If you don't like your food, they will be accommodating.
We went on Tuesday around 7 didn't get our food until 8:30 . When we walked in someone yelled from the back ? sit anywhere we will get to you ? we sat for 20 mins before we even got help , waiter came took order didn't get our app until 40 mins later ? then our wings and pizza came out just for our pizza to not be what we order , we told them they took it off the tap and we left .. if you want a quick bite to it I don't recommend this place ?
We were so excited to try something new tonight. New Town Double Tap did not disappoint!!! We walked in around 5:30 and had the place to ourselves. Several varieties of games are available? video games, board games, and arcade style. Great atmosphere with an eclectic mix of music. Peyton took her time explaining the menu and offerings and allowed us to get settled in. The cook on the fried items was spectacular! We ordered fried mushrooms, Mac attack bites, and southwest egg rolls. The queso was goo
If I could give this place 10 stars I would! We had a teen birthday here and the service was phenomenal. Great fun, super pizza and smiles all around.
Place was awesome! Callie was our bartender and she was absolutely terrific, would recommend to anyone in town!
Great place to eat, hangout with friends and so much more. The games are amazing and the food is AMAZING!!!! Come see for yourself and have fun while you are here.
Parking is limited, ask for menu was advised to go to app , left cellphone in car did not want to be answering calls. Food was good , service needs improvement. Will be back want to support local business
My go-to place now! Food is amazing, always something to do while you're here, and in my opinion it's pretty relaxing. Staff is friendly and make sure you're taken care of!
Wonderful service and delicious food with generous portions! The eggplant parmesan sticks were the perfect compliment to our meal.
This is definitely the place of town right now on food, service, and fun, the enormous plate of Game Over fries is enough for 2, drinks always cold, Eric, Bre and the rest of the great staff will make sure you feel welcomed.
Food and service was great. If you try the Italian sandwich be sure and get a side of marinara for dipping?. Takes it to the next level.
Phenomenal. Laura was excellent and the food was even better. Seriously, the food was some of the best we've had.
Great place very good food our server was great and the service was decent I was happy with our experience here definitely coming back
I enjoy taking a break from the mundane and getting to go play some games while eating some delicious food. My 3 yr old loves getting to play the duck game and eating pizza.
Had old chips and salsa with terrible salad that taste two days old steak wasn't seasoned fries were okay one guy working hard in the front feel bad for him
We really wanted to love this place. Bartender was slow and a bit in her own world but friendly. We got one appetizer of cheese curds and they were barely warm and all clumped together. Overall not impressed and probably won't be back.
Great place for all ages. From amazing food and customer service to stellar arcade and video games. Best place to take the whole family in Palestine, TX
Awesome new place! They've got beer on tap and some fun arcade machines to play as well as some amazing food!! I would definitely recommend everyone give em a try. I LOVED the Buffalo chicken pizza, so yummy!
It's an ok place to get a fried appetizer and a beer at the bar. Don't go for lunch or dinner. Went for lunch. There were only 3 tables being served. Waited 30 minutes for the appetizer and the food was inedible. Pretty sure they made the caesar salad with thousand island dressing. The food that was deep fried was ok. No sense of urgency to get food out.
The manager here running the show today.....5 STAR! They were busy inside and out, slinging drinks and food and she was on top of every second of it! Every person in the place was smiling. We'll done!
My wife and I stopped in for a quick late lunch. We have been wanting to come check this place out. We were greeted and seated very quickly by super friendly staff. The food arrived quickly and was well plated. My wife had the chicken parmesan sandwich with fries and I had the Buffalo chicken sandwich with fries, both dishes were fantastic. The fries were seasoned well and cooked to perfection. We will definitely be coming back to try out several other items on the menu. This could be one our new favorite r
We really enjoyed our time and food. The atmosphere was relaxing and great for conversation. We were celebrating together with friends. It was a Monday and the kitchen struggled to get orders out. Half our table had finished their food and were leaving and the other half had still not gotten their food yet. They were also out of some of the desserts we were interested in. I had a hatch chilli soup with my meal which was unique and tasty! The portion sizes were generous and honestly two meals worth for each
We had the most awesome buffalo Alfredo pizza. People there were very friendly.
Good atmosphere with great service. They have really tasty pizza and appetizers.
Definitely recommend going here. Burgers aren't overpriced and it's so good. So many choices.
Love this place! Betty was wonderful! Sweet and took care of everything we asked for before and during the meal. My husband asked for an item that was not on the menu but we had seen in previous reviews it was fantastic! There was absolutely no issue to get that item. Very clean, relaxing atmosphere. We will definitely go back and make this our go-to place.
This place is a 10/10. My server was Betty and she was very sweet and attentive. She always made sure we were okay. The food was so good. I got a chicken sandwich with avocado(it was fresh no browning at all) and the Alfredo with shrimp and chicken. Overall I would come here again.
Service was top notch!!! Food was top notch!!! Most definitely will be revisited by us!!! My husbands favorite place!!
Really fun spot, can't wait to see how much it grows! Super fun staff, great food!
This was probably the worst Italian food my wife and I have ever had. First, the lasagna was not fresh it must have been in the refrigerator for about a week and reheated. The edges of the noodles and the meat near the edges were dried out and rubbery and hard to chew. Neither of us finished it. The risotto was bland but cooked well. The staff was friendly and we really liked the old building but that is not enough to make me want to come back. I would not recommend this place to anyone unless you like old
The bistro style is typically understated and simple. The Tuscan soup was interesting the potatoes were all cut at different sizes meaning they did not cook evenly. The risotto is worth every penny. The dinner salad is serviceable. Staff was slow and polite. The restaurant does not serve alcohol.
Delightful! A fresh, new option for Italian food in Palestine. Everything was fresh and tasty. The sandwich was very good but a little smaller than expected. The atmosphere is where it needs work. Nice and clean but leaves a lot to be desired... Overall? We are definitely going back!
Not the best Italian food you'll ever taste, but it was pretty good. I got the seafood pasta and my wife got the spaghetti, and they did well to make sure her order was made precisely to her liking as she is vegan. Makayla was our server and she was cheery and fun to talk to. We're not from Palestine but if we ever come back to eat here, we'll probably request her to serve us again.
I was in town for business and stopped in to try it and I'm so glad I did. Makayla greeted us, sat us and served us. She did a fantastic job and was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. We had the Caprese to start and it was delicious. The tomatos were not soggy and the basil and mozzarella were fresh. Our salad bowls were chilled and the lettuce was crisp. The main course came out quickly and was hot, perfectly seasoned and fresh made. The meatballs lacked flavor to my taste but the sauce made
My husband took me on a small date night here, to try something new in town. We absolutely loved it! The food was excellent and fair priced. Our waitress, Kaylee was very attentive and sweet. It's our new favorite restaurant in Palestine.
Great service and Kali is a fantastic bartender! Highly recommend.
Lunch was delicious! The salad was fresh, and the grilled shrimp were not overcooked. The wait staff were attentive and friendly. I highly recommend for a delightful restaurant in historic downtown Palestine.
We got there right when they opened and the table we sat at the chair had to be wiped off with my hand because it had food in it, and the table cloth was filthy. There was hair, lint, and food on the table cloth. I should have listened to my instinct about the lack of cleanliness as their first customers of the day, but I didn't. My daughters soup had a hair on the rim of the bowl. My sandwich had an eyelash under it, and my son's plate had a hair on it upon arrival. The kids pulled them off, but we made th
This place is awesome Great food great drinks so very kind and will help you with anything you need.
Cathy and I had lunch there celebrating our 31 years of marriage. Betty served us with a smile and delicious food. Soft music supplied a nice atmosphere. Highly recommend this place.
McKayla was an excellent waitress. The shrimp entree was delicious. Salad, green beans and grilled vegetables were fantastic. Definitely recommend trying this place out if you haven't already.
The shrimp po boy was not good. We might go back and try the pizza.
Half the menu was out of stock. Settled for pork chops that were less than 1/4 thick. They were tough, dry, over cooked and not seasoned. Soup had a weird jellied consistency to it. Everything lacked salt. Moms egg plant parm was soggy and had no spices in it. We told the waitress she said she'd pass it on. Service was good will not be returning.
I know this place is new but it really want they bad. Give high recommendations for the fried eggplant and my wife really liked the perfectly cooked pasta with Alfredo. In know there's kinks that still need to be worked out but we will definitely return.
Makayla was our server for lunch service. Food and service were great, checking on us frequently to make sure our drinks were topped off and seeing If there was anything she could get us. Will definitely return again soon.
Buffet was not what we planned but was great. Caylee did a wonderful job serving! Guests said best food they have had and even paid to take some Fettuccine home
Great food and service. We asked about the desserts. The chef, himself, came out and brought samples and explained each of them. Highly recommend and will definitely go again.
A lovely new addition to downtown Palestine. The food is yummy and the wait staff (Makayla and Betty) always bring a smile to my ??. So grateful to have a nice place to dine.
It was vibe didn't get to meet the gator though
Stopped in for lunch and had the all you can eat soup and salad! Tried the Zuppa soup and house salad and the hubby had the Broccoli Cheese soup and house salad. Soups are homemade every morning and you can tell! Very good and highly recommend!!!
Eric was awesome!!!!! Food was delicious! I love skeeball!
My favorite meal at New Town Bistro is Caesar Salad, Spaghetti with sauce, Chocolate Bomb for dessert. The atmosphere is soothing and makes the food taste even better.
It was great! The food is awesome
This restaurant is awesome, portions are generous, and the food is great. Was not charged for my beer. I would recommend this to anyone. The owner was waiting in the tables also
Cool atmosphere, great food, great drinks, and fun games! Very clean, friendly staff! Love it!
Great hangout spot with games all around.
Friendly staff, food was delicious, chairs are uncomfortable tho. Not a fast food place, expect to spend some time here but overall well worth it. Hope the place sticks around for a long time.
New Town Bistro is amazing!! Everything I have tried here has been great! From the food, atmosphere and the music it's just perfect! I highly recommend you give it a try, you won't be disappointed!
Great place and great food! Our server, McKayla, was excellent and friendly! Already planning to go back! Oh, and the fries are DIVINE!
Nice place! Food was on point and beers nice and cold. Very clean and friendly service.
Good food, not too expensive. The atmosphere is nice as well. The waitresses and very helpful and kind. Especially Makayla!
I??NTDT!! Great service, killer drinks, yummy food, amazing prices, fun games, unique atmosphere.. it's a vibe!!
The food here is extraordinarily good for reasonable prices. For $22 I got a steak, Toscano soup, caprese, and an excellent risotto. Can't beat it!
It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.
Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.
Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.
Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.
Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.
Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.
Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.
No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”
