Our Story

From a Big Idea to an Incredible Destination

Founded by Rick and Cheryl Barsness, our story has always been about bringing families together. What started as a vision for fun + food grew into a full-scale Family Entertainment Center built on family values and classic Americana.

From Grand Forks, North Dakota to Victoria, Texas (pizza restaurants) and finally Springfield, Missouri, the concept expanded into a destination inspired by the 1950s era and the idea that the best memories are made together.

Then
A family-first concept combining food + games + rides under one roof.
Now
A modernized guest experience that keeps what families love—and improves what they need.
Next
The next 25 years of Incredible Food & Fun—designed for today’s families and tomorrow’s traditions.

Why We Did This

Why “Incredible Food & Fun”

We heard a consistent message from guests: the word “pizza” can unintentionally make us feel like a restaurant first—when the experience is so much bigger.

The new name reflects what families actually come for: food + attractions + arcade + celebrations — all in one place.

  • Clearer promise: You instantly know what we are—Food & Fun.
  • More inclusive: Not everyone comes in thinking “pizza night.” Many come for play, parties, or memories.
  • Future-ready: It gives us room to grow, evolve, and keep improving the experience.
