What parents say
"Had a great time with my family. Unlike other arcades, you can eat and play without breaking the bank. If you buy a $50 game card, your meal is $2.99!! The burger was fantastic, and my son loved his pizza! As with any arcade, some games were down or faulty, but they did their best to be attentive and fix or give credits back! Nick B helped out with all the machine issues and was friendly and really made our night with his attitude and cheerful love of what he does! Thank you, Nick!!!"

"I was waiting for a waitress for 50 minutes, and I ordered some drinks and they never came, I asked her several times that I wanted to order food and she told me that she would come in a moment, and I was like that for an hour until I got upset and asked for the manager and he never came, it was my first time in this place and I will never return. Please if you see this place run and get away, They will never serve you! Place is nice but services HORRIBLE RUN PLZ RUN"

"This place was a unique experience for sure! If it weren’t for Lacie I don’t know what I would’ve done. She was so bubbly so helpful so caring and willing to make my experience as best as possible. She made sure my food came out on time she helped me with the games she even informed me on booking birthday parties here in the future for my babies. She made the main event experience THE MAIN EVENT! I’ll be coming back just because of her thank you main event."
