Permanently Closed as of July 25, 2025. Some inventory went to Online Auction. Sign of economic inflation pressures on people's budgets. Was a good run here. Nothing to review now, just confirming the status of the business for Yelpers & public. read more

Not sure if they have food but they do have drinks for purchase. Service was great and he explained everything in great detail. This place made me feel like I was a teenager again. I played games I use to play as a kid on an Atari lol. This was my first time here. My date and I had a blast. So FUN!!! You pay one price for a bracelet and play whatever games you want. I'm unsure of the price as my date paid for it. read more

The best bang for your buck. Need to repair a couple of games, but otherwise a really great place to chill and have a good time.

Honestly this place is a really cool concept. However, a ton of the games are broken and need repairs. Even the basketball games didn't have basketballs or nets to use. Broken joysticks, monitors, and buttons on various other games. Good drink selection and the food looked good, but you go here for the games. The staff was welcoming, but no one was doing anything about the broken machines. To be clear I'm not saying 1-2 machines were broken, there were 8 in a row that we played that had problems! Maybe we caught them on a bad day, but I would rather make the longer drive to Cidercade in Dallas for a better gaming experience. I may give them another shot but definitely going to ask to check if games are working before I pay again! read more

Fun night with the fam. I really like the fact they have step stools for the littles. The kids loved all the games. Its a flat rate to enter & they have tons of beverages including something for kids. It does get crowded easily but dont let that deter you from getting a round & playing some pinball. read more

I went here with my daughter Sunday for a mother/daughter hang-out day. Zack was running the counter and was very friendly and fun. I played my favorite games, as well as new games I'd never have considered if I was paying for each attempt. Sadly, it seems I always outlast everyone on Off Road - I never want to stop. LOL We each got some drinks and my daughter ordered the pickle chips and very much enjoyed them. Oh, and the most amazing thing for me was the bathroom - it was spotless!! I have honestly never walked into a cleaner public restroom anywhere, and I've been to countless Buc-ee's mainly because of their clean bathrooms! All in all, it was a truly enjoyable experience and we will definitely be back! read more

Lots of fun good food and the games are such classics my personal favorite is pinball

Such a fun place with a big offering of classic arcade games. Unlimited play for one price. Food is typical bar food but excellent! Quesadillas were very cheesy . Pickles were crisp with nice crisp slices inside, great ratio of pickle to breading. The funnel cake bites were like mini sopapillas and served with honey. Great selection of non alcoholic drinks, beers and soda. Great for family and friends for a fun day! And veteran owned!! read more

It's a nice little bar/arcade with a bunch of rad older (and some newer) arcade games! They also have an incredible selection of beer. I'll be back for sure! read more

This is fun for a family night out or date! The food is pretty good, but that's not the reason to come here. The games are so much fun and it's not super pricey. read more

I love the idea of this place, and the pinball machines are great but a bunch of the good games have problems with them like broken buttons or messed up CRTs so you're left with a bunch of mediocre games. read more

My little sister and her friends have a membership here and brought me one evening. What a cool & unique place! Very clean, great food (which I was surprised), and an awesome place to hang out with friends or a date night! All reasonably priced as well. read more

Awesome place!!! Veteran and locally owned!! Did our monthly veteran event here to support a fellow veteran. Class act!! Staff at the front was awesome! Food was great!! We will be back!!! read more

We were invited to a friend's birthday party for my daughter. They charged all parents $12 to come inside with their child even if they are not participating in the games. They would prefer minors come to a party by themselves unsupervised than allow adults to attend with them. This doesn't seem wise or safe. We thought about having a party here in the future but will not be doing so if this remains a rule as I wouldn't feel comfortable taking full responsibility for that many children at once. read more

Totally awesome! All the old school games from the 80's & 90's. Walk around and play your little heart out until you are ready to move on to the next game! Free play after the 10 buck-a-too cover. We needed something like this over here. Wine and beer, lots of craft beers to select from, no spirits, small food menu. Great for adults and older kids too. No minors unless accompanied with an adult. We will for sure keep this in rotation for things to do out side of our norm! Oh yes by the way, the staff is super friendly... and taking all the precautions during the pandemic. Have fun! We did! read more

Last Saturday, I hosted a surprise party for my husband at Retrocade. We had 15 guests and everyone had a GREAT time! From reserving the tables, check-in, to the food/service, the staff at Retrocade was top-notch! I highly recommend them for a party or just to stop in for fun!! read more

Great place! Fun games, delicious food! Large selection canned ciders, beers, cokes, etc. Only 10 dollars to play unlimited games. Was surprised how tasty to food was and great prices. read more

Games are good to an extent. Some of the arcades need to be service. The food was not great AT ALL. We threw it all away. Everything was salty. We had chicken strips, quesadillas, pizza quesadillas, fries, fried pickles and everything was extremely salty. read more

I love this place. Everyone is friendly, food is good and inexpensive and they even have monthly memberships for games.

Really fun experience and for a good price! The environment is very "retro" aesthetic feel. We didn't actually order anything to eat, but the food smelled great. The only thing was a couple of games weren't working right but that's to be expected. Definitely recommend for a nice little experience, there's something for everyone! read more

Cool concept, Great price for unlimited gaming! A lot of fun retro gaming Systems. Fun for a date night or just to hang out with friends. Also great if you have kids during the day! read more

Came here after work to celebrate the holidays with some coworkers. I love that they had a cider option because I'm not much of a beer drinker. Love seeing some old school games that we could play too. It's much smaller than I thought it was going to be. Overall enjoyed myself and would recommend for a quick drink and nostalgic trip. read more

Great little spot! Play all day for $11, and you can come and go as you want. There's a wide variety of games and they serve food as well.

Wondeful venue with dozens of classic games. Everyone had a blast, and the food was good as well.

We went today and had a great time. The games reminded me of my childhood and my kids loved. Great idea for a fun afternoon. read more

such great people so patient and nice and best arcade games!!!! loved the style the only thing Id do better was it a bit down better but I love it best place to go read more

Enjoyed this place a lot. Had a great time playing Qbert. The drinks are expensive but that is to be expected lol.

It's kinda Meh!!! I feel like they took the basic concepts that other retro arcades have made famous, and some how made them worse. Half of the machines didn't work when we were there. It's always too crowded and too loud, but not in a good music loud kinda way. It's seemed to get a little worse each time we go. The staff are mediocre. Save the headache drive a little further to Richardson or Arlington and go to the Original Retro Arcade - Free Play! read more

Just wish kitchen was open later, cool spot good drinks. Sometimes ppl hog a certain game but it's not there fault, huge selection of drinks if 21. Credit/debit card only. read more

This is a great place to go. I've always had a great time with every visit. I can't comment on the food since I have yet to order, but the beer is good and cold game selection is good, especially with the dance dance revolution machine read more

Great arcade in my hometown! Excellent selection of well maintained classic games, my favorites are Defender, Galaga, Dig Dug, Moon Patrol and Kung Fu Master! read more

Great place to come hang out. Very nice environment, they have multiple options in beer to choose from.

Great place but no concern for the crowd size. I just git here and paid to get in. I drank a beer and played four games. The people who come here do NOT give a crap about masks. Podunk town? Probably read more
