    We love this place! The line for the Go-Karts can get a little long, but they have plenty of staff managing it to make sure everything goes smoothly. I really appreciate the time they take to make sure each and every person is secured in their seats, and if someone gets stalled out or turned around on the track they are there in a split second to help. The laser tag is amazing!!! Seriously so much fun. So many rooms to hide in and targets to shoot on the walls to score extra points. The rooms are so well decorated I would love to have 15 minutes just to walk around and explore, outside of a game. The arcade games are great as well, and there is a very good selection that is included with the play cards. The staff is all friendly and welcoming and you can tell the truly love working there. We have been a few times just for fun but have a birthday party booked next month, really looking forward to it! The process of getting that scheduled was easy to do as well.

    made the mistake of bringing my family around 5:30pm which is in their peak busy. Soooo crowded, no social distancing, and the gokart wait was long (about an hour and a half). The most annoying thing was that every minute the kart would stall out for 5 seconds. We had the super karts ($9 per ride), 2 seater ($10), and regular ($8) karts and they all had this problem. The ride is 5 minutes though!

    So my son wanted to come here for his birthday and I wanted to check it out for the longest time glad I did wasn't very busy so much to do he really wanted to do the go carts they also have really fast ones it's for a separate price. Very reasonable prices and very nice staff. We all had a blast and will be back for some more fun very shortly.

    Do any of you who are old enough remember that arcade that was in downtown Main St. towards the Northern end of the sky scrapers? Yes, that one with the glass all over the front with the door indentation to enter. Remember it would be immaculate in there, a guy always cleaning the glass and machine faces with windex? Constant every hour whinning of the carpet being vacuumed or swept? Every machine was working and you were still excited about playing Pac Man? Well of course those days are long gone but forward 30 years and you almost have a glimpse to what you can feel again here. I came back yesterday and the day before promising the owner that I will make a return visit with my son this weekend in which I did with also my daughter in tow. They always have a good time here and both get excited, that is a big plus.....ok I get excited too because the pinball machine that I always play always works and I can play an hour and a half with $3 worth of tokens. Friday night when I came I was wondering what happened to the clientele, it was about midnight and there were about 7 people inside. I was hoping that this isn't a trend because my place that has my favorite pinball machine might disappear. Where else can I go and make $3 last an hour and a half? It was irritating not knowing that 15 minutes before 1 a.m (I thought it closed at 2 a.m) before the security guard donned a big push broom and came around to tell me that they closed in 15 minutes while making a sweep past me. Dangit, bad timing, I put $1 of tokens twenty minutes before and was winning free credits left and right, I was on the ball. Well, needless to say hurriedly I lost all credits and left. Next day, came back with reinforcements, son and daughter, gave them $10 each, all I needed was $2, continued my journey into the world of McWilliams Getaway. This time, Saturday, it had a pretty good crowd, glad for this business. Parking lot here is ample compared to the days when it first opened which I can remember maybe 20 years ago. The interior still needs a little T L C but not as ghetto as the amusement business off of Hempstead but not as clean as the place down the road by Willowbrook. Pros: Security guard always on premise (commissioned might I add) Games reasonably priced (not .75 just to play a pinball game and still there are .25 games. Ample parking More than 2 pool tables on the 2nd floor At least 2 air hocky tables on the 2nd floor $10 gets you not 40 but 50 tokens Decent sized Go Kart track and not just going around in circles. Personnel are either stoic or have a good attitude, no rudeness encountered, yet. They stay open to at least 1 a.m on weekend nights (not like the other place that closes at 11pm *wth!?* by Willowbrook The clientele is decent here. I think they all hang out around Hempstead location or something. Very easy to find, if you missed it while passing by, your driving with your eyes closed. Cons: Junk piled in the corner where my favorite machine is, an eye sore Pinball machines are still right by the restroom doors (I hate the eye sore everytime the door opens, which leads too.. Very atrocious bathrooms and the floors right in front of them (I think I'll run home 5 minutes away before I ever had to go here, or go find a bush) Right before closing they pour 5 gallons of pine sol or similar on a mop and distract your gaming so you get the hint that it's about that time. Other than just a few minor things I would stand this business above the place on Hempstead and Willowbrook anyday. It needs cleaning but we're all here to have a little fun and now worry about cosmetics right? Barbara, one of your machines took my daughter's tokens, I don't know which one exactly it was but I leave it as a donation and a token (no pun intended) of my appreciation for you being one of few that respond to any concerns to your guests.

    I might just have to do a national barcade tour. We were here on Sunday afternoon, so there were…read morepeople everywhere, but I still had a blast. This place serves food, drinks, and has plenty of games! You can either buy your tickets in person or online beforehand. It's $12 for entry and you can stay as long as you want and come and go with unlimited game access. From what I can tell, some days have specials. Only additional purchases are food and drinks, obviously. They have pizzas, quesadillas, salads, dessert pizzas, and pizza burritos. I tried that last thing because I had never heard of it -- think of it as like a glorified hot pocket. It was delicious! I had a salad to balance things out, and I'll surprised by how hefty it was! Since I had never had their cider before, I decided to do a flight of five. When I placed my order, I was expecting them to give me a tray of five 1 oz pours... But instead, they told me the flight will consist of five 5 oz cups.... WHOA. So I grabbed the first two and had to come back for the rest after I finished. Every single one was delicious, but I really liked the mango habanero and the one with the coconut. Now, the games... I rarely come to a barcade that has TWO Guitar Hero setups. And they had plenty of classic cabinets, air hockey, Mario Kart, shooting games... Claw machines... It was quite epic. By the way, the claw machines did cost extra, and I peeped a party room in the back that had those interactive team floor games! That would be fun to reserve for a special occasion. This place really impressed me. If you enjoy games in a bar setting, I would recommend this spot if you are in the Houston area.

I've been there with a group of adults and also with a group of kids, and just note that while it's totally fine (and very fun!) for kids, it's probably better for adults--there's no kid security check-in at the front, and the building is very big, with lots of games. We ordered a pizza from a touchscreen by a food window, and the pizza was actually pretty good, much better than I was expecting at an arcade. The downside was that, in the lunch rush, it took 30-40 minutes for that one pizza to come out, though you could tell they were individually making each item in the big pizza oven. If you want drinks, you separately order those at the front, near where you check in, which is a little odd to have two separate food/drink ordering spots. When we walked in, we paid for a wristband, which gave "free" access to all of the arcade games, except for the claw machines, which required you to buy an extra card.

There are numerous signs clearly displayed letting people know it is not in fact an arcade. Even the company's voicemail message makes it clear. Joystix Classic Games & Pinballs is actually a working showroom that opens once a month for Pac-Man Fever Night, when every game is set to free play. It's one of the most fun and unique experiences in Houston. We hosted my wife's birthday party here, and it was fantastic. Renting the space was simple, the staff was awesome, and having the 1820 Lounge next door made it the perfect setup for a group celebration. Everyone had an amazing time. I highly recommend booking the showroom for events, you will not be disappointed. The owner is Charlie, he is outstanding. He is friendly, passionate, and deeply knowledgeable about pinball and arcade history. You can tell he truly cares about preserving the hobby and sharing it with others. He takes care of his customers and is very courteous to those who are considering a purchase. If you love pinball, classic arcades, or just want to do something different, Joystix is a must-visit Houston gem.

When I asked them to exchange the tickets for toys, they deliberately ignored me and insisted that I pay for each item separately instead of combining them and giving me the total number of tickets. When my child asked for help opening the toy packaging, they said they had nothing to open it with--although another staff member later helped my child open it.

Hey, not bad for a 10 series card graphics computer set.

We chose our computer and had to setup our accounts, I think that took away from our hour. My kid wanted to play Fortnite and it took a while to login and get started but we were able to use accounts that were licensed from the store or you could use your own.
