Went here today and everything was great. Fun games, food was awesome as well. Our second time here celebrating a birthday and it never gets old. Love it here

Terrible experience. We brought our son here for his 9th birthday. We ordered food and something tasted off about it but we chose to let it slide because we don’t expect much from arcade dining. 5 hours later my son wouldn’t stop vomiting so we took him to the ER and turns out he got food poisoning. We tried contacting the arcade but they completely disregarded our situation. I don’t want anything from them but I think it be nice if they did a full check on their kitchen.

I planned my daughter’s 6th birthday party here along with her class, and everyone had a good time! The games were age appropriate - for big and small kids, the food was tasty, and the staff was incredibly thoughtful. Big shout out to the young woman at the bar, Raya- she was so sweet and incredibly kind. We look forward to planning more events with gamaride in the future! Thank you all for giving us a very organized, and beyond enjoyable experience.

Had my twins party here and booked 50 people. It was amazing. The food was great and the staff was super friendly. There were multiple parties that day so busier than usual but still awesome! All had a great time.

I enjoy GAMA Ride a lot, perhaps even more than Dave N’ Busters. It’s a bit smaller than Dave N’ Busters, but you’ll still have a good time and can spend an hour or two there. They have games that children, teens, and adults can enjoy. They also have actual rides. Granted, they are small rides. While the prizes aren’t great, it’s possible to get lots of points if you know which games to exploit. Plus, they don’t only have junk for prizes, they have some useful items like erasers. Overall, I would like to come again soon. 4/5.
