You don't find service like this often anymore. The attention to detail, honesty, and pride in their work really stood out. It's clear this business is built on integrity and care, not shortcuts. I'm so glad I chose them and will be recommending them to friends and family. read more

Kathy was amazing! We visited this past Friday on Friday the 13th 6/13/25 We come here often for our dart needs and any staff is always so friendly and informative and gives you options on what you're looking for. They've been in business for about 50 years, small local business but if you're into darts this is the place to go! They have a wide variety and selection of darts and games and frisbees. Depending on the item you're buying is a price point but you'll get quality product for what you're paying for! They have a variety of flights 3 for $5 it's awesome! This is the only place we will shop for our dart needs, they have EVERYTHING! We've bought our 2 sets of darts, some replacement items, flights, our dart board and the cover! Next is the floor mat and some lights! read more

Well, just went into Rick's today for the first time since he and his wife sold the place. Matter of fact, the last time I was there, Rick was going over some details with the new owner on the sales floor. I think that was around June of 2023. At that time, I was hopeful that the new owner would stay true to Rick's vision, and help to maintain if not enhance the uniqueness of this wonderful store. I have visited so many times over the years and it's various locations, going back to their Harwin address. The sales person today was knowledgeable about some things, but seemed more excited about showing us the DnD dice (which is a new item), rather than offering up some darts to try out. There was a new digital jukebox on the wall which was kinda cool, but that's not going to bring people back, and no one is ever going to be there long enough to wait for their song to play (so really it's there for the employee). But I digress. There were lots of darts and disc golf frisbees, which is a good thing. However, all the flights and dart accessories are now behind a counter so it is kinda hard to see them without getting the sales person involved. There are not nearly as many chest sets, kites or other games like Pente, Mancala, or Catan. And nowhere to be found are the Japanese puzzle boxes which Rick used to carry. The store just didn't have the same feel. I got the feeling that they really just want to cater to disc golfers and dart throwers and that's about it. Really, the biggest difference is not being able to visit with Rick and Loretta. They are the most wonderful people, and I miss them. I will likely be back to get my dart gear, but that may not be for a while--hopefully the store will still be in business. read more

Wow this store has completely upgraded since the last I was in here. Beautiful chess boards, tons of darts and amazing selection of games! Super impressed with selection and the customer service in here. The value you get here is beyond what you can find anywhere else. My family and I were treated so nice. Thank you!! read more

Great selection and excellent customer service. Gabrielle was very knowledgeable and offered great tips and suggestions.

It's a great place to find a nice wooden chess set, or for me, a tournament set for a gift. They also have disc golf, poker stuff, and of course darts and darts accessories. Bri is nice, friendly, and ebullient. read more

I've driven by this place a good number of times, finally stopped to inquire about Disc Golf (noobie here). I was pretty happy to find that they had entire wall and then some of Discs, the staff was able to clarify some of the intricacies of the sport and how I should be approaching each throw. Although, you could get lost in a sea of information online, these guys made things clearer, and nothing beats like putting your hands on the plastic you're looking to buy. read more

Rick's Darts & Games - Bought this bad boi today at Rick's! So pleased with it! - Toy Stores Near Me - Houston, Texas

So, if you love darts like me, you need to go in here asap! These guys are so knowledgeable & have anything you could think of. Great, friendly service! Highly recommend! read more

This place has friendly service, and everything you need for darts and more! Very knowledgeable staff and friendly people.

Super neat shop. I've been a few times for discs and some dart accessories. Took a buddy for some discs as well. The young lady at the counter always has great suggestions for local food too! read more

This is a great store for all your gaming needs. Tons of variety and expert help. Easy to get to and the parking is good as well. Rick has been in business for a long time and he knows what he's doing. I recommend the store fully. read more

I have been going to Rick's off and on for over 20 years. Whether it was to find a new game or find pieces for a game me and my friends were prototyping it's a great store. Rick has always been really nice, and he knows his stuff. If you are a game enthusiast this is different a small business you should support. read more

What a delightful store! It's a little off the beaten path for most Houstonians, but this place is an absolute joy to visit and is more than worth the drive. For Covid, they limit the people inside and provide hand sanitizer all around the store, and I felt safe the entire time I spent inside. The disc golf and darts selections are phenomenal, and Rick and his staff are very knowledgable about everything they sell. Rick even gave us an impromptu darts lesson before we bought a set. Most of the darts they sell are laid out and available to try out before you buy. The disc golf selection is truly phenomenal, especially now since supply has been spotty at best during the pandemic. He offers a buy four, get one free deal, and all the discs are very fairly priced. All the prices in the store are at market value or even a little cheaper than I could find online. It's really easy to spend a lot of money at this place, but for good reason. Rick has been doing this for a long time, and the quality shows. read more

I have been going here for all of my dart supplies ever since I started playing in the Houston Darts Association. They always have great tips and advice, and once gave me a lesson on site that resulted the best stretch of dart throwing that I ever had. read more

I've been going to Rick's Darts and Games to feed my dart collecting addiction since 2011. Over the years, Rick and Loretta have been very patient and kind answering all my questions regarding darts and have provided a wealth of knowledge on how to improve my game. I'm no where close to throwing like Phil Taylor, but have seen a great deal of improvement, all thanks to Rick's tutorials. In an age where friendly, personalized customer service is no longer the norm, Rick's Darts and Games stands out as Houston's #1 spot for anything dart related as well as kites, disc golf or board games such as chess and backgammon. read more

Thank you Rick for my dart crash course! I never knew how to play darts properly until now. Ive been doing it all wrong these years. Thanks for your help! read more

Rick's Darts & Games - Made possible because of Rick's 20 minute crash course - Toy Stores Near Me - Houston, Texas

While I'll admit that they mark up their goods a bit, the service and help is undeniably worth the trip out here. Rick's is known mostly for their darting goods and they do not disappoint. A few months back, Adam O. got the hubby playing darts and he got hooked. Then we discovered Ernie's on Banks where they have great dart boards that are free all the time. Now he's obsessed. The hubs had his birthday in December so I went to Rick's to buy him his very first dart set. I did some research online and asked some friends that play. I went in expecting to buy a set around $50. The service was wonderful. They have a great policy for returns (especially since this was a gift) and they have boards there to try out the different weights and lengths. They have a HUGE selection of flights, though not collegiate ones (boo!). We just went back yesterday (my hubby's first time in there) and it was a great experience where the lady let us try out the different lengths of accessories. Plus, they had their cases on sale, so even better! The rest of the store is dedicated to other types of games (not to be confused with gaming necessarily). They had some nice chess sets, poker sets, puzzles, yo-yos, kites, and board games. The hubby has also been getting into yo-yo-ing, so perhaps I'll be back to get one of those to feed his ever growing list of addictions! read more

Earlier this year I took an old kite into Rick's, hoping he could help me find the struts that had been lost. Rick took the time to try to find something that would work from his suppliers and, when he was unable to do so, went to the trouble to look through his personal collection of kites and supplies. He was able to find something that would work well and I was able to pick up my kite yesterday. In addition, he gave me some good pointers on how to take care of this kite. I was very impressed with his kindness and personal service - at no charge! Wow! If you ever need anything related to kites, darts, or games of any kind, please stop or call this shop - they're the epitome of old-fashioned service and advice. read more

Rick is such a sweetheart! I love supporting all of Houston's mom and pops stores and this particular store gets my #1 vote! Not only is the owner super nice, but extremely informative and clearly passionate about his business. Their price to me is reasonable, but most importantly I walked in with little to no knowledge about darts and thanks to Ricks 20 minute crash course I'm going to kick some butt tonight! Thank you! You guys are freakin awesome!! read more

This place rocks ALL the socks! Not only do they have a great darts (and parts - fins, shafts, name it) selection, but it's the best place I've found to buy discs if your a disc golfer! Huge selection (primarily Innova, but that's my favorite brand to throw so it's perfect for me). Otherwise, they've got all sorts of really neat games and such - unique too! The customer service is fantastic as well! The staff are always extremely friendly and more than helpful if you need it. All in all, I love this place :) Wish I had taken a picture for y'all! read more

Rick and Loretta take very good care of their customers. They spend time with their customers and don't rush us out like modern day chains do. If you are a dart novice or intermediate player Rick will even happily give you pointers on your game if you ask him. He knows his stuff. I love Mom and Pop shops like this and hope you will come see them. They also sell any kind of game you can think of...poker accessories, chess, travel games... Rick's is a great place to buy someone a gift. read more

I came here to buy a dart board and some darts for a housewarming gift. The lady in there was very nice and knowledgeable. She let me try out a number of different style and weighted darts. She was very nice to my kids and let them play on a magnetic dart board while I shopped. I have used the darts a few times, that I got from there, and I like them very much. The dartboard is a very nice quality and wasn't overly expensive. I highly recommend this place if you're into darts or any fun games of that nature. read more

Before I moved to Houston, I had never heard of people playing darts for fun or in bars, much less for competition. Rick's Games and Darts opened up my eyes to the world of darts!! My boyfriend plays darts on a semi regular basis and was in the mood for a new set. You can't deny the family feeling at Rick's. They eagerly show you tons of different darts, explaining the differences and options for a novice like myself. Rick picked out a perfect set for me and let me test them on their boards. Customer service was awesome. Their selection of darts is also great, as is their selection of discs for frisbee golf (actually a legit sport apparently!), games and puzzles - some being quite obscure, nostalgic and kooky. The darts seemed expensive to me, but having no experience in purchasing darts, I really have no idea if they are overpriced. Downside: Located in a sort of sketchy strip mall. read more

Great people working here and excellent customer service! I bought some kites here and one would not fly quite right, so I called to see if I can either exchange or return and they said yes, but if I'm willing to talk to the owner that he can try to help me fix it where I could possibly still fly it with some adjustments. I'm glad they are willing to work with me whichever way I decide, I will definitely be shopping here in the future! read more

moved to Houston from Indiana in November of 2019. The first thing I asked when I moved was where I could buy quality darts, knowledge of the game and who to contact to do so. I asked 5 different people and I got the same exact five answers I would expect from a reputable, family owned business. Go see Cyndi @ Ricks Darts, you won't be disappointed. I have gone once a month for the last 12 months and overspend every time I go in. Thank you Cyndi for all the help, I have sent people in to buy from you to the count of 7 different states now. All left happier than they expected. Godspeed!!! read more

Louie was very helpful getting me set for my poker night. Great customer service! I got to take my time looking around, and got plenty of help the whole time. I'll probably be coming back for a backgammon board. A+++ read more

This store absolutely rocks! Darts of all sorts (I'm not that technical of a darts player, but the people who work here definitely are), hundreds of chess sets, and all sorts of other gaming needs. (Not that kind of gaming...this is the kind where you might interact with another person "IRL".) They sell board games, too, with a focus on the less-common games (think: Settlers of Catan, not Pictionary). This is a great store for teachers, table gamers and dartists, or anyone who's looking for a better way to kill a Saturday afternoon. read more

Nice people and a good selection but massively overpriced and there's a 'No Return' policy... so definitely check online before you buy there. read more

Best dart shop in the states! Rick is an amazing guy! Even took time to teach me to throw darts!

I come here for my darting needs. Today was my first time to visit the new location. Second attempt - the first time (pretty soon after the move) iphone maps lied and the number I guess wasn't set up yet in the new store? But the note on the website I see now "same shopping center as Fox & Hound" helped this time around. There isn't a big sign over the actual store, but it IS there - one of the 5 open establishments in that shopping center. They are always helpful & super nice. Today when I walked in, for some reason I completely lost my train of thought and just held out my darts and said I need, then just pointed at the end. She was probably about 4 feet away and goes "Oh, you need so-and-so shaft, and pointed those out, new flyers too? same kind?" Boom, right there. There might be just one kind of part but diff sizing, either way, it was a quick visit. I think the receipt took longer to print than her showing me what I needed. As far as pricing, I am clueless to what is standard, but the parts were cheaper than I expected them to be. I honestly don't know where else one would go if this place didn't exist. read more

They offer a great selection of games, the staff has been friendly and informative, and prices are great. We are enjoying family dart nights at home thanks to Rick and his staff. read more

I heard from a ton of people that this is the place to go to get a good set of darts. They were right! I drove all the way from Spring to visit this little store and was not disappointed! They let me try all the different darts out and helped me with all the accessories. It was impressive as I am a beginner in the dart world! Definite plus is that they do a Military Discount! I will definitely be back!!! read more

Really great store. Had everything we were looking for and more. Very high quality darts and dart accessories. Loved seeing the old school games. Store attendant and owner were very helpful! We will be coming back for all our dart and gaming needs! read more
