Stopped by on a Sunday afternoon for something to do with our boys before heading back to AZ. Service and staff were great, so friendly! Drinks were good and kids had fun on the variety of games! If we're ever back in the area would def swing by again.

Really cool place.Great vibes.Attentive staff .Different seating areas so things are spread out and you can kind of pick if you want to be social or more private. DO NOT PARK IN LOT BEHIND THE BAR BEFORE 6PM .You WILL get towed.This happened to us (we are from out of town) the Manager (I think) was an extremely nice and helpful guy who made us feel much better in a stressful situation. Thank You!

A co worker recommended and it was a hit with my family. It has a retro vibe all the way down to how they serve their food. It is family friendly prior to 8 pm and my sons loved using tokens to use the old school arcade games. There are 2 token machines that take bills or you can add a specific amount of tokens to your tab. A token is the equivalent of a quarter so it’s a great place to go and not break the bank. We will be back!

Such a fun arcade spot. Fantastic staff, thank you Sam, Gia, and Vanessa. Also Christian and Trey are wonderful. Whoever is hiring staff is on point. Friendly, professional, great food, great recommendations, i love coming here after work. I come here for the exemplary staff, good job management! Also their beyond burger is to die for thanks to Chef Lay. Highly recommend their veggie/vegan options.

We went there on a recommendation of a friend. The food was excellent and the service was excellent. Our server, Candice, was awesome and very attentive. Would definitely return. Had the wings, nachos and a burger

Overall, super dope place, great atmosphere. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. We also experienced a 10 min wait upon arriving, bartender def looked at us twice and never acknowledged us, but once the owner saw us things moved quickly from there. Games are fair priced, had a great time wrecking my husbands night by killing him in Mario cart we will be back for sure
