This is one of my favorite places of all time, it has things for all ages. However, it does specialize in those over 21.The best little arcade in all the Sioux Falls and the surrounding area

The games are fun, but don't buy a card for points unless you like certain video games because not all games take the card. The card cannot be used for food or beverages (which I do understand), but it was 80-90% a waste of money for me because I spent $25 and only played 2 pinball games, a race game and a boxing fighting game. I left without drinking or eating because I spent $25 on points that I thought I could use for everything (that one is on me, I admit it).

Some games take card. Others take quarters. Don't be like me and get an expensive card for only a few games

Fun place to spend a couple hours. Kids 13+ allowed earlier in the day. Wish they had a larger selection of NA beverages.

I went into the lobby to wait for my lyft and they called the police.If you are not actively spending money there, you are not welcome.NEWThe owner just threatened to press harrassment charges for telling all of you (an him) about this.They pretend to like their customer. Just wait until you disagree.Customer service WILL be police service.Give us money or go to jail.

Changing my rating & review as this last visit was not what I am used to at what is one of my favorite places to go downtown because of all the gaming options. I noticed the game card dispenser when I got my tokens so I asked the guys working if they all needed the reloadable but annoying to have to remember game cards now & was told just the new games did, the vintage type games still took quarters. Great, until you find out that games like multi player games like Pac-Man or one of the oldest arcade items there is, Pinball are not on the list of quarter games. When something was said to the staff they offered no apologies or explanation, just blank rude stares. My whole group left shortly thereafter unable to play any of the games we went there to play & with pockets full of quarters still. This card system change is fairly new I know because it wasn't like that the last time I went so the staff can't be that exhausted in informing customers about it & even if you are, come on guys the customers don't know until you inform them. Do better

Absolutely horrible service today. Was literally first table in tonight, time stamped receipt of 5:01pm. At 5:25pm a table that got there 15 mins after us got their food which I could see was what I ordered. Asked bartender if I still had food coming, he flippantly said yes..10 minutes later someone who came in to get food to go got their order. Pointed out to bartender we had LITERALLY been their first. Finally, 5 mins later he just blamed kitched and said I dont know why they sent them out of order? If two tables order the same thing 15 minutes apart, how would the second table ever get theirs first? Bush league to blame kitchen. Not worth more than 30 minute wait for error he would not admit to. Did have to order another drink since the wait was so long. Great sales tactic. Won't be back

A gaming gem of the Sioux Empire! With a great mix of games, nice staff & pizzeria attached to it, you can definitely make a night fly by with good food & fun.For me, it's with the drive as a day-trip getaway. I only wished I could visit more often.

Fun and chill atmosphere. Love the game selection! Can't wait to come back.

Had a great time here with my wife's family. Pinball machines were probably my favorite part (especially the stranger things one that shakes a bunch!). A great selection of many different classic and new arcade games. Only thing I would recommended are better instructions on the Japanese games in English and a coin machine that takes card.

It's a lot of fun to go play old school arcade games and some new ones. Very busy on a Saturday night, but able to play games without much wait. Not much space to eat, so not sure I would count on that. Bar has good selection of tap, bottle/can, and even some pop. I'd like a better selection of pop, but that's just me, non-alcoholic drinker.
