Be cautious when ordering drinks off the paper table tent during happy hour, the Gold Rita is listed without a price and surprisingly is not included in the advertised happy hour deal on the same table tent that states: “cocktails, beer and more 50% off”. Our server didn’t mention this (for fear of “offending us”). I was shocked to later find out each single cost $31 due to a special tequila ($100 for 3 after tax)! I thought I was at an arcade 🤷‍♂️?!. To top it off, the drinks did not come as pictured, no orange or lime garnish and gold mix is brought wrapped in plastic bag left on the table. They ran out for one drink asking ”do you mind”?! If I’d known they were $31 and not on special, yes, actually I do mind. No explanation for the missing garnishments. It would NOT be offensive for a server to state, “great choice, just so you know that’s not on our current happy hour”. To me, it’s intentionally misleading displaying a cocktail next to the happy hour that’s not included. Let me know if you could/would read this fine print in the picture when ordering a drink. I felt taken advantage of. Top tier alcohol typically are not pushed on the paper table tents at typical restaurants. I offered to pay half by honoring the happy hour deal and said they were unable, after negotiations with the manager, they were removed from the bill. Comment below if you have a different viewpoint, agree or disagree or think I’m being a Karen. Happy to discuss or clarify a point.

We arrived around 1 p.m. and it was great timing. We were able to play all the games we wanted to without waiting. The music playing on the intercom was good. The location was clean, and the staff was friendly. We did not eat because we were having so much fun. We definitely will be visiting soon. 10-19-24, we ate at the restaurant and it was very good. The pizza was not tough, and the wings were flavorful. The staff was decent, and the games were okay (very expensive).

Came here with my wife on Saturday and wanted to just have some fun at an arcade while eating good American food! This place was okay as far as food goes. The truffle fries were very cooked and tough to eat. The wings was okay. Not a whole lot of flavor. The games was hit or miss on some. Main event has a lot more to offer.

If you like games more than the food and just want to play, this is the spot for you. Certain menu items are hit or miss. It’s easy to pick on the food here. Good presentation but quality and taste on the low end. Service is also hit or miss. There is no one who seats you, you just need to wait until someone sees you and then seats you. The waitress we did get was more or less caring. Games were fun. More driven for the kiddos. Still had fun with some of the games. The Lightsaber VR needs to be recalibrated badly. Bathrooms (men’s) was tidy. Decent selection of prizes. Obviously if you go for the PS5 it’s cheaper just to go and buy a PS5. But fun toys and trinkets. I got some bell hop bells, and phone mount and some stuffies for the wife. Great date night with wife, she makes everything better lol.

This is the first time I've ever eaten here. I ordered the "new" Cajun Shrimp Pasta dish. In the slightly over seven decades I've been alive, this is easily in the top 3 of anything I've ever had before. And I've eaten in some nice restaurants around the world. The portion was huge for $20. I could only eat about half. Took the rest home, which means I get two $10 meals. You can spend that much for a Whopper and fries. (Maybe more.) I'll definitely be back. (Sorry. I ate most of it before thinking to take a pic. So menu listing only.)
