Eight On the Break

Went to the Break for the first time a couple of years ago and was not disappointed. Good selection of pins and video games, can't vouch for the food as I didn't have any, but does the food really matter?? This is all about the games and the preservation of a culture. For many many years we've seen the decline and disappearance of what few arcades remain, so it's always great to see a place like the Break stick through it all and provide what they do. You can tell they are genuinely enthusiastic as they run specials and contests often and seem to keep the machines in good working condition. Recommended without a doubt.

What a crock, to hear this owner say I was banned when 1. He doesn't know me and 2. You can't ban someone who would never return is both desperate and transparent. Fix your issues and I'd glady rerate your business.

I have found my way back to the Break for nearly every single college break, and now, work vacations. Within those walls lies the best meal deal you'll find in central New Jersey, $4 for a cheesesteak, fries, and a soda (and for those of you who like RC cola, it's one of the few places where you'll find a fountain of it). The "haven't changed the price in a quarter century" might seem like a gimmick, but it isn't. This is legitimately one fine sandwich, where the veg, cheese, beef, and bbq sauce are all grilled and melted together... I think they could sell the sandwich itself for $5-6 dollars or so, and people wouldn't complain (too much), but it seems that management wants people to spend the left over dollar bill on the video games on the floor.

Oh yeah, they also have video games. I'm fairly certain that that only game genres that are up to date are fighters and the dance games, but that's pretty much the arcade scene these days anyways.
