A place where families can play
computer games and enjoy some barbecue has moved to Route 202. The combined
businesses of Game on and Pig Out BBQ Pit is now open at 109 Wilmington Pike
across the parking lot from Mar-Stan's Furniture.

The businesses —originally on
Stoney Bank Road in Glen Mills— are located on different floors and there are
two entrances and two different bars. “They draw a bunch of people and we draw
a bunch of people, so it’s really two businesses working together rather than
two businesses,” said Tony Scheirer, the owner of Pig Out BBQ.

Mike Castanzo, the owner of
Game On, was unavailable for comment.

Scheirer said Game On is a
gaming bar that’s “kid friendly” until 9 p.m. when it becomes a gaming and
sports bar for adults. There’s a 150-inch projection TV screen with all the
games and a total of 20 TVs along with 10 gaming stations for XBOX, WII and PS3.
There are also private rooms available for rental.

Pig Out BBQ specialties include
pulled pork barbecue sandwiches and baby back ribs, according to Scheirer.

Game On and Pig Out are open 11
a.m. to 2 a.m., seven days per week. Food service ends at 10 p.m. with the bar
open until 2 a.m.

Scheirer said Pig Out BBQ Pit
started because his wife couldn’t get “good barbecue,” the North Carolina style
with a vinegar and pepper sauce and topped with cole slaw.

He said he had run a series of
restaurants while living in Dallas, Texas and had a good barbecue recipe.

“Between her wanting barbecue
and her recipe for North Carolina barbecue just prompted us to open a barbecue
restaurant,” he said.

The businesses joined forces
and moved to Route 202 a month ago. Scheirer said the move was instigated by
Game On.

“The guys at Game On wanted
food and they didn’t want regular bar food. They wanted some of the best food
they could find. They were regulars of mine at the other location and called me
up,” Scheirer said.

The crowd, he said, is
everybody from kids to grandparents.

“It’s a huge mix. It’s
fantastic.”
