Was really fun but they switched out the prize counter to some automated thing and the prizes are kinda sucky.

This place is a gem. There are far more options than I anticipated, and you can either pay to play for duration (so an hour, etc) or use points. While there isn't an overwhelming amount of games, there is enough to keep you entertained for a few hours. The pizza was great, slushis excellent, and the staff was friendly. We did an adult birthday party here and we will be back!

Looked in to see what was going on, literally not a soul in the place 3 hours from closing. No workers, no customers, games looked like nothing special. What a depressing waste of a cool idea. Don't see this place here much longer.

Very let down… First off there were no prizes available to be won, even tho you could clearly see them all stacked up behind the employees only door. The pizza was somehow not as good as regular CEC. Only a couple retro games. There was one employee manning the store that was visible. He was literally on his phone while taking our pizza order. I rarely write reviews, but when they’re this wildly bad I feel I have to lmao.

For an arcade that talks about retro games as much as they do, they had 4. The staff obviously wanted to be anyplace besides there and didn't even say hello when we walked in. We were the only people in the facility and were completely ignored, so we left.

Manager was very rude.

What was touted in the media as a Chuck E. Cheese for adults did not reach the ears of the public, or whoever bought the soda fountain cups. Children run free and unsupervised mingled with the target audience of drunk adults.

A small selection of games, bolstered with one-play ticket earners with no real enjoyment factor. Would it have taken too much space to add a Ski-ball ramp to an arcade? Nice to have pinball, though.

The food was an expected pizza from Charles Entertainment Cheese and wings that were worth the trip. If only it didn't take 40 minutes to get out one pizza and 8 wings with nobody in line ahead.

Be prepared for disappointment in the prize section. The automated prize vending machine displays a wide range of prizes, but does not allow you to purchase all of them in the range of tickets you have.

Peek in if you are in the area and like pinball and wings to check if it's not being used as a daycare. If not, might be worth the time, but good luck.

We decided to go check this place out to celebrate a birthday as it was marketed as a version of Chuck E. Cheese geared towards adults. When we arrived we saw it was just as full of kids as a regular Chuck E. Cheese but in a much smaller space. Most of the games were ticket based and didn’t give many out, when we finished our day we found the prize vending machine didn’t work and the staff said there were no plans to fix it. This would be a great place to bring the kids on a rainy day But for what we were looking for Dave and Busters would have been a better option

Nice collection of games. However does anyone work here? My wife and I were there for an hour and didn’t see a single employee. We could get a game card and play but no way to get drinks or food. It’s also very small with a dull atmosphere. I hope they can get someone to work there and bring a little life to it cause I love the idea.

Marketed as a nostalgic adult-friendly hangout, and it is not that at all.

The Ring of Chucks Arcade sounds interesting, however this place was kind of a letdown. Felt like more a museum to see the memorabilia and the arcade isn't much to write home about. The cheap arcade price of a point for play is the best part...I think I can take a family here and let them ball out on the cheap but this was supposed to be for the adults.

Went here a week ago and it was alright🫤. First positive, some games were actually fun and enjoyable, and the art that they had hanging up was really cool. They do serve alcohol. Second negatives, they say, are for adults, but there were several children there, not that they were bothering me. The place is not that big, also most of the games barely give that many tickets. Overall, it was fun, but some stuff could be fixed. See ya guys👋

Great concept... Poor execution... Thought this might be a great place for kids and adults to enjoy. All beer stations down, icee station down, no gift shop, fountain drink station flooding all over floor causing slipping and fall hazards, horrible customer service... Neither employee working was attentive or friendly. Was sadly disappointed and had much higher hopes for a cool nostalgic place where adults and kiddos could be entertained.

PARENTS, DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS. This in not just a nostalgia play. For $40, you can have 2-3 kids run around for 2 hours playing games nonstop on one card (I don't know if this is entirely kosher, there wasn't any oversight from the one teen in front, sorry.) This is TWO HOURS of Jurassic Park arcade. TWO HOURS of pinball. TWO HOURS of pop-a-shot basketball. Unlimited. Get this.

When you're done, hop to Five Below and buy them the cheap crap they would have bought with $200 worth of tickets from 30 minutes worth of Dave & Busters. This is so much better. Hours better.

It's 105 degrees or 25 degrees and you're desperate to get out of the house, this is the best money you've spent. Trade the tiny screens for big obnoxious ones. It's so worth it. Do it.

There are no prizes at this location. There was a game to win tickets….but what for?? Bizarre.
