The Kitchen Table

The Kitchen Table is Raleigh's first and only board game cafe, located in the Creedmoor area of North Carolina's capital city. This unique dining concept combines a full restaurant experience with an extensive board game library featuring over 400 titles for guests to enjoy. The cafe offers a $10 game fee that provides access to their impressive game collection and the expertise of a gametender who can teach rules and facilitate gameplay. The menu features lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch service, with weekly food specials that showcase local ingredients and creative preparations. Beverage options include local beers, handcrafted cocktails, and a thoughtful zero-proof selection for non-drinkers. The atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between a casual restaurant and an interactive entertainment venue, making it ideal for families, couples on dates, groups of friends, and corporate team-building events. Weekend brunch runs from 9am to 3pm on Saturdays and Sundays, offering a different menu from their regular service. The cafe also hosts special events including mahjong open play sessions. Due to the intimate nature of the restaurant and staffing limitations, guests are encouraged to inquire in advance if they specifically want gametender assistance during their visit. Takeout ordering is available through their online platform, and reservations can be made for larger parties.
