What surprised me most is that the food is actually great; not something you always expect from a vintage arcade, but they've definitely nailed it.

I also love that they rotate themed sections every so often, keeping things fresh and giving you a reason to come back. Check out my photos and videos, and one of these days, I will finally master Tron! Note to say, I've heard there is live music there on the stage at night on the weekends, but we haven't been during this time. We prefer to go during the day.

The cost for the "free play" is a little pricey compared to Cidercade...if we are comparing size and what's included. I also think that it helps to have an interest in japanese video games, which I do not. This is a really small arcade which did make it hard to move around and there were lines for the popular games, unfortunately, the overall experience was not really that exciting. The service at the bar was the great, the bartenders were friendly and knowledgeable. There is a separate area for the free play and the kids working the counter were mostly on their phones unless someone walked up to them.

It's nice to bring your kids and let them play and the parents/adults who aren't paying can sit and chit chat. SO AMAZING!!! The staff were so nice and accommodating. We would definitely return.

It might not have as many options as other arcades, but it didn't feel crowded and I enjoyed not feeling rushed by others for their turn to play. It's $15 per person for the arcade games, pool tables, and air hockey. They also have a token area where you can win tickets for prizes. The token area was kinda small, but the games there make it easy to win tickets if you are wanting a prize. They do not allow outside food or drink, but they had many drink options to choose from as well as some snacks to enjoy to keep you fueled between games. Honestly, I'm more likely to come back here with the rest of the family than the other big arcades near by. I feel like it's worth the drive to support this local and family owned business.

When we arrived Saturday morning, everything was already set up and ready for us to get started. The staff stayed on top of our drinks and orders the entire time, and everyone had an amazing time. Highly recommend!

We had bowling reservations and were excited for a fun night, but unfortunately this ended up being…read morethe worst experience we've had here -- and we've been coming since they first opened. We are a party of seven and planned to order quite a bit of food and drinks while we bowled. However, our lane kept fouling every single person who bowled. We found someone and asked for assistance and were told someone would come help. Thirty minutes later, no one had come -- not to fix the lane and not to take our food order. A very kind gentleman happened to walk by, and we stopped him to explain the issue. He immediately called it in and asked for the foul line to be turned off. We also asked how we were supposed to order food, and he told us a waitress would come to our table. As he started to walk away, he turned back around and offered to take our order himself and write it down for the waitress -- which we genuinely appreciated. We asked about substituting the brussels sprouts on a platter due to an allergy in our party. He radioed to confirm and was told it was fine, so we placed the rest of our fairly large order. A few minutes later, a young woman came over and said they do not do substitutions like that. We explained that we had asked for approval before ordering and that the gentleman had radioed to confirm. She said "oh, okay" and walked off. Shortly after, a blonde woman came over and identified herself as the manager. She said she was told we claimed to have spoken to a manager. Her tone felt very accusatory, repeatedly asking, "Who did you talk to?" We had to physically look around and point out the person who helped us. She then informed us he's "not even a waiter, he's a party host," as if that somehow invalidated the help he gave us. Ironically, he was the only person who was proactive and helpful the entire time. And here's the biggest issue -- no one ever fixed the lane. Even after all the conversations, it continued to foul every player for the duration of our time. Manager or not, if an issue is brought to your attention and it never gets resolved, that's a serious breakdown in management. With reservations and a group of seven ready to spend money, we expected better organization, communication, and service. This was easily the worst experience we've had here. The only bright spot of the night was the party host who actually stepped up when no one else did.

The room was empty from the time we arrived at open so it blows my mind they would not put one of their 5 tables with benches down for customers.

I enjoy a good fair. So u really wanted to write a good review. Despite all, there were moments that were enjoyable, but not because of anything Talley did to make for a positive experience. Mostly because they have a few good employees that understand families and just happen to be employed by this company. Bless their hearts. After being ushered on and off rides like livestock (and without instruction) we decided to give in and play some games. Got suckered into paying 3 rounds of popping balloons at 10 bucks each just to walk away with the crappiest little prize possible. Then a woman seen that we were dis pleased and asked us to give her game a chance, she said maybe she could change our mind about it being a total waste. I gave her the opportunity to prove me wrong. . . The outcome, she proved that this place IS INDEED a HUGE rip off, but that a great personality goes a long way. I would come back and play this girls game again and again, not because it was cheap or easy, but because it was enjoyable. That wasn't the fair, it was the person. When giving her game the chance to make up for a horrible experience, she said "she promised" it would be fun. That's a bold statement to an already aggravated customer. So she sold me on that promise. She then proceeded to talk me into every member of our party having to participate. (6 people at $6 each) Don't ask me how, but I was easily convinced. She even got my teenage daughter who dreaded being with us there in the 1st place to get into the game. Got the kids riled up in a competitive yet playful manner, and when we were ready she rang the bell and the race was on. Now, there is only a single winner every race. I had 3 kids with me that day. You better believe we played that game 3 times so they can each win whatever prize they wanted. The quality of the prizes at the higher level is much better than the original 30 bucks spent. All and all I spent over 100 bucks at that game alone, and if she would have accepted it, I would have tipped her well too. She single handedly turned what I saw as an expensive and horrible experience,into one of the coolest family moments we have had since the kids became tweens and teens. That is priceless. My point here is, this company sucks. The prices are ridiculous, and the food is mediocre at best... But one good soul can take the focus away from that and put in to perspective the reason we came in the first place... To make that joyous memory, one our kids will look back on when they bring their children to the carnival. What ever they are paying this employee, it should be doubled and then doubled again. Because without her, this fair is shit! Hope this is helpful, and shout out and thanks to the "monkey race" girl at the Jungle Chase and her sweet daughter at the water guns (We should have gotten their names but the gravity of the experience didn't fully settle until we were on our way home).
