I love video games, but this place is just ok. They have a decent amount of games, some skee-ball, a tiny bowling game, and air hockey. They cater towards families, but a whole bunch of the games seem to appeal just to kids. There are way too many of the 'use the crane to get a toy' and 'pull this lever to get tickets' games. They have added a few things, but if I have to choose, I would pick Dave and Busters. With that being said, this is a great place for kids. My five-year-old loves GameRoom. And the parents can have a beer. That is kind of a win.
Review Source:They have a TON of specials here. Â Half off appetizers during the majority of weekday afternoons, and huge beers for only $3. Â No kidding, you need two hands to lift these gigantic mugs. Â They have a wide selection of games and gameplay options. Â I can't complain about somewhere I can go drink and play three different DDRs at 11am!
Review Source:I really, thoroughly, enjoy gameworks. The games are all really great, with a mix of classic arcade games and newer additions. There are also a lot of options to get tickets (although you never quite win enough to get anything good). It's just video games mixed with drinks and light, light gambling, pretty much! Fun when you want a change from the usual weekend activities. The service is also pretty good, there is always someone there to assist if needed.
Review Source:To start this really isn't my kind of place - I'm not that into video games. However, if I had kids or were with people that did like video games - this place is filled with games to play. It looked like they had a ton of choices and several of my coworkers had a great time playing them
My work had a function there - rented a room had food/drinks and then cards to play games with.
Our waitresses were kind of slow with the drinks and it seemed like the orders got mixed up a few times. The room was pretty small and the way they laid out the tables was terrible. A u shaped table that took up almost the whole room w/ just a little room at one end for pitchers of water/soda and the other end for the food. There wasn't really any place to effectively stand and it was really awkward to walk around the room, or sit inside the U. Trying to walk by people seated to get to the food or the drinks was nearly impossible - the aisle way was about 6" wide. Â The food was edible - definitely not great (though I didn't expect it to be at a video game place). Â
Then since we had only rented the room for some set amount of time they kicked us out - even though no one else was waiting for it (and really it didn't seem like this was such an "upgrade"). Anyway, we sat at high top tables out near the bar which was fine and easier to maneuver than the room anyway.
Seems like a good place to bring kids and grab a few beers.
Decent prices that are accurate on the website as far as game credits go. Â Big variety in games and a good number of games give tickets that can be turned in for prizes that aren't outrageously priced either. One thing I will add that was very frustrating is that if you purchase a one hour unlimited play card you have to wait to charge another game, so basically if you share it with a friend or many friends don't expect to play too many games too fast. One time I played DDR and had to wait 300 seconds before I could use the card again! Oh and not to mention when we played the Daytona race car game with 4 players we had to wait a minute in between each card swipe so we could get everyone in the race.
Overall a decent experience and if you are really good at games you will earn awesome prizes and a lot of tickets, and if you just feel like eating or getting your drink on that's also possible, as the food and drink prices are average for a restaurant
Fun, Fun, Fun! I Really did not think I would have so much fun at this place. As you walk in all you see and hear and video and arcade games. O.K. I thought, I'll play some games and hang with my sis. It won't be that bad. Wow, you get lost in this kind of childhood euphoria and the time just flies. Although I have to say I was exhausted by hour 2. We stayed a total of 4 hours and it was great. Now the food......not so much. Service...........not so much. First I went to the bar to get a couple of sodas and the "bar tender" did not even take a second look at me. Finally I asked another girl if I could order from her, she paused as if confused and then said sure! Great all I want are two sodas, thanks. Took me like 15 minutes to get a soda, come on. Anyways, after my sis and I sat at a table to get a bit to eat cause my nephew didn't stop for a second to eat, but then again he is 11. Â So we ordered the "healthiest" thing on the menu, a turkey, bacon, tomato sandwich with a side of fries. Maybe not so healthy. So again the waitress takes forever to get our order and then to bring it. Ok so the food was not horrible, but the prices are a bit high for what the food is. Finally the tip is included on the check already! What and 18%, excuse me you did not so that great of a job, but ok. So the food part not so great, but the game part which is the reason we went there was awesome!!! Â If the place would get better food, better service and maybe a nicer dinning area I would give it 5 stars.
Review Source:Video Games, booze and food... well sorta on the food part. Â I've been here a few times and didn't care for the food. Â I love the concept though. Â It's a fun place to meet my friends who have kids because both the adults and kids can have fun. Â
The menu looks good. Â They just need to work (really hard) on the quality of what comes from the kitchen.
