Claw Daddy Arcades - Mission Valley San Diego

The Yelp reviews didn't lie! It was bright, clean, had a relaxing vibe. The staff was SUPER great and helpful. They kept offering to help but is was working on spite!! It was very easy to work everything out and it's nice and open. We got some pretty awesome plushies and they don't feel like they cheaped out on them. Can't wait to go back!!

This place is awesome! Unlike other claw machine places where you spend 50$ and win nothing, this place is better! 30$ for 150 credits, each claw machine credits are 8-12-20 credits! And it's not rigged! We won so much there! Service was nice, they gave us sone free turns! Defiently would reccomend this place for winning some small but cool rewards!

Amazing. This is the best Claw Daddy I've been to. They are so kind and helpful. We met the owner who is so awesome and generous. I forget his name but the guy with the long hair was so a great employee and deserve recognition for how helpful he was. My girls left super happy.

Nostalgia with these arcade games. Great for kids! 100$ for 4 people went a long way. People will say it's expensive, but the instant gratification and knowing you'll win a prize makes up for it. The cashier was very helpful and if you couldn't get a toy, she would set it up for you. Overall, great experience for the kids.

I was really surprised by how much I liked this place. I might just have ptsd from a lifetime of arcades that are money sinks with little/no rewards. Here, the claws work quite well and the staff are willing to help you and even switch out items in the machines you aren't happy with. We could pretty much win any machine if we tried 2-3 times. Really fun and rewarding. I would go back to enjoy the game.

THANK YOU to Hailey & Alejandro for a warm welcome, with knowledge & stories of your own. In addition Hailey guided us personally sharing her own experiences and strategies of how to get exactly what we wanted. We were not even expecting to play just asking for a future trip with our children, but we did and had lots of fun while winning lots of prizes. My husband & myself had smiles from ear to ear this may have been our first but definitely won't be our last !!! This is all because of your fine employee

Our kids are obsessed with claw arcades, they say this is the best one they have ever been to. Alejandro was so kind and helpful to the kids. The plushies are nice quality, happy kids!

I'm a sucker for claw machines, went with a friend was a great experience...I only wish they had minion plushies ??. Game play is easy and affordable, but the best part of the experience was Alejandro, such a great employee...it's the first time I've gone in, but a few other times I had passed by while working and Alejandro was the same employee always taking initiative to make the experience great. He's super knowledgeable, very helpful, and it wasn't just with me he was great with lots of other customer

Julie was THE best claw guru we've ever met. Helped us/coached us to get EVERYTHING we wanted. Da best. 11/10 give them a raise

ALEJUANDRO IS THE BEST!!!! He's my goat! He was super friendly and had great customer service. This was the only place I have ever won stuffed animal?s and actually got my money?s worth. Highly recommend!

Alejandro is the man, the myth, the legend. A little Macho Man Randy Savage, one part Albert Einstein, with some Antonio Banderas sprinkled in for good measure. His claws are magical, his plushies wondrous. Go here or don't ever show your face in this town again.

This place was too good to be true! Alejandro was amazing and so helpful. He was happy to help and reposition the plushies anytime I asked. I only spent 40$ and walked out with a bag full of goodies. Highly recommend this place!! Will be back(:

This place is so amazing! The staff here are incredibly nice and very helpful! The prizes are high quality and the games aren't rigged like at other places. For just $10 I won 6 plushies! Incredible bang for your buck and worth every penny. I cannot rave about this place enough!

ALL the claw machines are strong for easy wins. They have cute and popular prizes such as Sanrio characters. But what makes this place stand out from the rest is the staff! They are happy to help position the plush for an easy win! They actually want you to win here!!!

This is a really cool arcade! We visited from another state for a cruise and had a few days downtime. Honestly, I don't remember the last time I played claw machines that actually got me something so this was awesome! We got a lot of help from Julie and she walked us through how to navigate for a more fun experience that helped create some fun memories for us (I won some cute sanrio plush!) She had a lot of great tips and helped fluff up the prizes which was so nice! Seriously recommend it!

Pretty pricey. The stuff toys I think are mostly rejects, nothing interesting or anything good to pick from. I know that the stuff toys are usually not that good of a quality but they had just really bad quality stuff toys. It's basically $2-$3.00 per game. It's not a coin machine, it's credit. 8-12 credit per play and you have to buy a card (4credit or $1.00). 1 stuff toys we got the head was basically upside down attached to the body. We tried to trade it but could only trade the color of the toy (all hea

This place is a great as people say it is. The owner blew me away with his customer service and made sure each of my kids were successful to get a plushie. This is the kind of arcade experience parents want for their kids.

My son wanted to go to an arcade for his 11th birthday but with the caveat that he really only wanted to play claw machines. I told him that might be tough but then my wife found Claw Daddy. We were the only ones in there on a slow Thursday evening and the staff were ridiculously friendly, helpful and encouraging. They cheered every time my son or daughter won a prize and really made his day. It's around $1-$2 for the majority of the machines with some of the larger prize ones being $4 a play. Awesome exper

Freeman, Jake and Haley were all so helpful and friendly and so many cute machines for our daughters 17th birthday

Best claw machine arcade here! Alejandro and Haley were the best and made sure we had a great experience! I will be coming back many more times!

This is me and my friend?s favorite place to come for claw machine Games. Alejandro, a.k.a. Frederick, is our absolute favorite employee! All the staff is so helpful and will rearrange the plushies for you !!

Haely was absolutely amazing! She was so helpful and made the experience so much fun for both my girls. 10/10 would recommend!

Place is awesome, you should bring ur kids and have some fun.

Me and my family had a lot of fun winning a bunch of plushies. Hailey and Jilly were a big help!

The employees are super nice here and they want you to win! I have been to round 1 and have left so disappointed and sad that I'm not good at these claw machines but Claw daddy is the BEST! They have different plushies l, I'm sure you will find something you like. This was my win for tonight! The employees assist with tips and tricks to help you win. They also have affordable options like I got 40 credits for $10.

Me and my family came in had a blast with my kids. Alejandro was super helpful and very friendly will definitely come back here when I'm in the area again

This is the best claw arcade! Reasonably priced and Alejandro was super helpful and accommodating to our 2 kids. Will definitely be coming back!

After visiting this place a few times, I have to give this place a 5/5. The staff is amazing and nice, and I even had the pleasure of meeting the owner one slow day. The point system is great, and the claws are very easy. As someone who plays claws often, there is no rigged system at all. The claws are fair, and everyone is always a winner. This place is great for kids and adults. Everyone is a winner here! They have larger plushies on the wall to exchange for the smaller toys you get from the claws. I high

Awesome experience seeing my daughter and her friend win multiple times. The lady working was super nice and helpful.

It's definitely a place to go. The staff are friendly and helpful. They guided us on how to play and conept to win the machine. Also, the extra credit for multiple times. Willing to come back soon ??

Been here a few times, staff is always helpful in answering any questions or helping readjust a prize for an easier win. Would definitely come back!

Seriously so much fun and so worth it!! We had so much fun trying it out during my son?s 19th birthday. Aiden and Julie were so awesome!! Thank you again!!

I had a great time and got a bunch of plushes. The stuff is really cute and nice.

Good customer service but these machines are overpriced! The whole credit thing makes it complicated even more. I would not recommend if you want to get prizes. It got me stressed ??

What a scam. Claw games are already a scam. But this place is special. Even when you pick something up completely, it still drops. But that is not the end of it. You swipe the card to load credits, but it takes 3 swipes on one play vs 1. So you get much less plays than you expect. You can request assistance from the staff and they do have cameras to verify but they just laugh at you rather then check. Please send me the video. I asked to see it at the store and was laughed at. Please send or show me said vi

Awesome experience! Very friendly and helpful staff. The machines favor the player instead of manipulating the game.

Staff is incredibly helpful and thorough when it came to explaining how to get started! They cheer you on and are incredibly engaging! With a great location inside the mall, Claw Daddy is perfect for date night after movies and dinner, great for children of all ages and us adults who want to embrace our inner child!

Julie was super helpful and very friendly. We recommend this for a great time stop by. It's easy to play.

Hailey, Adien are awesome! Staff are amazing and they are very helpful

So much fun and the staff are so helpful! The kids had a blast and left with some great prizes!!

Customer service was so amazing and welcoming. It was my first time and definitely not my last!!! Ty !!!
