Collins Game Room

Reviews Summary

The reviews present a mixed but generally positive consensus. Many praise the friendly service, good food (especially burgers), and enjoyable gaming atmosphere. Several highlight it as a great place to socialize and play poker machines. However, some criticize rude staff, bland food, high prices, or cleanliness issues. While most ratings are high (4-5 stars), a few 1-star reviews mention poor service and undesirable clientele. The overall impression is of a casual, food-and-gaming spot with strong local appeal but inconsistent quality.

Customer Reviews

Food is meh. Burgers are moist at least but very bland and it took like 4 times explaining what we wanted for them to get it. Higher prices for what you get too. Not a lot of options, more like a bar. The best I can say is that the place was so dead during lunch that it was at least quiet.

The place is full of a variety if people and most are polite except the worker who in mid sentence hang up the phone when I called once ..... food is what u would expect nothing fancy but alright u pay more for it than u should being as it is literally the same things u could make at home like a hot dog or burger and a 3 for 1 dollars bag of chips at the dollar store is the whole dollar there but hey maybe u can win money on the machines to pay for it

use to be one of my favorite places in clay county. but they have started keeping the wright ones out and letting the wrong ones in. if you want a ful night of fun come see me we can go to the game room down the street the one with class. and want make up lies or show their ass.that was supposed to be a half star !

Collins game room has become yesterday's happening place. Seems to be almost deserted most days whereas the place stayed crowded with people in the past. With all these other game rooms opened up in Manchester, Collins ' game room seems to be fading to the competition and just a shadow in the background these days.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s it like visiting an arcade today?

It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.

Is it better to go alone or with friends?

Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.

What should I bring to an arcade?

Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.

What’s the best time to visit an arcade?

Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.

Can I meet new people at arcades?

Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.

Are arcades still just for kids?

Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.

Are there events or tournaments I can join?

Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.

What if I’m not great at arcade games?

No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”
