It is a great place to have a party where attendees can have fun instead of just sitting at tables. Adult drinks were allowed. I very strongly recommend for unusual forum and great time. Cost basically $15 per person. Kid friendly too.

Plenty of room to walk around with ample seating in the front and near where you pay. They have stools spread out if you prefer to sit while playing. The regular who I play in the monthly strikes tournament here are down-to-earth, sharing the same passion I have for the game. To the owners of the RPC, thank you for sharing your games to the public for us to enjoy. I am truly grateful to have found a wonderful community in Rochester.

I have only been to commercial slot car tracks a couple of times over the last 50 years because it…read morewas never convenient and it was a bit intimidating for a rookie like me that only ran on home tracks like Strombecker. When I went to Fantasy Raceways I was welcomed and it was nice to just run your car, no judgment, just have fun. Also picked up a few tips on car construction and setup from other guys there. Even though its still an hour drive for me I'm looking forward to getting into this hobby a bit more, fun without any plans on being a top competitor. I can't say enough about how gracious and helpful Jeff, the owner, is. Even if you've never run a slot car, this is an activity and venue that you can enjoy without a lot of cost and clutter.

I put my slotcar on the track, and I might as well have been moving backwards, as the newer cars were much lighter, due to the magnesium chassis and super-thin bodies. The arcade games are wonderful and the proprietor is very friendly and helpful. The last time I visited, my daughter and I took back break and bought food from a restaurant next door. After a while, my daughter said,?" Dad, do you realize we've been here for 5 hours?" R O'Connor

At our table, there was a game console built into the wall with about 20 games. We had fun playing, but we did fumble a bit with figuring out some of the games... although that might have more to dk with our age then the games. Food was the weak point. The bruschetta was the best dish, beyond that, everything else was kinda underwhelming. The poutine lacked flavor, the spinach and artichoke dip was bland, and the quesadilla and flatbread were just okay. It wasn't overpriced, but it wasn't a great value either. If someone asked me to go back, I'd do it for a chill game night and maybe a drink or two. But for the food, I'd choose somewhere else.

Or adults butt (most of us have to bend over and our butts stick out) This place also only has two pinball games. and they're both in a dark room in the back and hard to see what you're doing. Also, I've played at arcade '80s and he's got about 3x as much size as space and games. I didn't like paying $15 for 1/3 the amount of games and no central air. I Think $10 or $8 would be more realistic for such a small amount of games and no central air. Several of the games buttons weren't working and the are two-player shooting games on the floor where he's only got one gun. Otherwise, I think it's a great place. Eric the owner said has he is going to be moving to a much larger location and he has games in storage. I hope that when he moves he doesn't pack things so tightly and leaves more room to navigate. I also liked that he had a super NES system setup in the back on a TV. But again it was too hot to play. I did like that there were a lot of games here that weren't at arcadians such as, Time Pilot and Moon Patrol.

The cocktail I had was unfortunately really terrible, it tasted like maybe the lemonade/soda dispenser wasn't working? My group also got a few appetizers which were okay but tasted frozen and not super yummy. The most recent time, they were only serving appetizers and no other food, and there were no gluten free options available (we paid the 8$ per person game/table fee before they told us this. Had we known, we wouldn't have stayed). The ambiance itself is good and it's always fun to play games with friends, but the food is pretty lacking.

The owner also appeared to be intoxicated and was acting inappropriate towards my group of friends. I'm not sure what upset him (or changed the vibe) but he demanded we leave. My friends tried sticking up for themselves and we ended up being harassed. As a man I have never experienced this behavior towards women and it was honestly sickening. Because it was the owner involved, it made it even more disgusting. The owner did get physical with us and pushed me and the two women with me while in the vestibule. As a gay man this was also horrifying and I've never been ganged up on before. I would rethink coming here if you're a woman or part of the LGBTQIA+ community. I would recommend Flora or literally anywhere else.

Not very modern and technically is behind. The lanes itself kept breaking and it took a while for staff to fix. The balls took forever to come back and had us waiting a while to continue the round. Wood chunks in the finger holes of th ball. The food was better than expected. I would give it a solid 6/10 for pizza. I don't know how sanitary this pizza was as the kitchen is open and anyone can walk though it but the taste of the pizza wasn't bad! Overall 6/10 experience.
