Took my son, three other six year olds and a seven year old and they had the best time! All five of them could not stop talking about all of the different games they got to play and how much fun they had. The young man that was working there today was beyond helpful. Each of the kids kept grabbing him to play different games and he was very patient with them and happy to help with every single request. You really can't beat the price of this place for the amount of fun the kids have. And it's built for all
A great place to host events for any games. Top of the line PCs, monitors, headsets and more! Building a community is easy when you have a staff and management who is so accommodating and informative. Great Mortal Kombat Tournaments here on Fridays!
First time at Gamers Grove for their Girls Only DTI tournament. My girls had so much fun. The setup is great and the owners/staff so accommodating and helpful. It's a perfect place in town for kids to get together and level up with a more 'community' feel.
We had our son's 10th birthday party at Gamers Grove with over 25 of his friends. They were all very engaged and had a great time! The staff were very friendly and helpful. This is the perfect place for a party!
Just had my daughter?s 10th birthday at gamers grove. Everyone had a blast including myself. Honestly think I might?ve had just as much fun as her. Mital, the owner is super cool and plays 2k so we were able to get a game in. It was too close for my liking. We will definitely be back. Thank you to mital and his great staff. 10/10
I took my kids to gamers Grove over the weekend. They had such a great time.! Store owner was very polite and patient getting us up to speed. Would definitely recommend checking this place out. They even do birthday parties. Thanks again for a great time and experience experience.
We had our son?s 9th birthday here and they did an AMAZING job! Had over 20 boys and everyone was so engaged and entertained! Staff was great and very attentive. Would highly recommend!!
What a great place! I had my son's 11th birthday there and it was awesome! We had a private room and the staff was so helpful. The kids had a blast and couldn't stop talking about it!! We will definitely be back!
We had our son?s 9th birthday party at Gamers Grove and it was such a wonderful experience. All the boys had a great time and were throughly entertained throughout the whole party! Highly recommend this place for a party!
Pretty nice equipment, plenty of seats. Only feedback I could give is maybe get some better headsets, the audio quality on the mics was pretty rough over discord, but I get you cater to a lot of local players. Prices for drinks and snacks weren't that bad at all. It would be nice neat if y'all could partner with a few food places near by to offer some hot food options. Thanks for giving me somewhere to game while traveling for work, haha
overall one of the best gaming centers ive been too, owner was great and PCs were top notch, all the workers were nice, knowledgeable and helpful, will 100% return if i have the chance too
Talk about the perfect spot and top-of-the-line for gamers. My son, and his friends had an absolute blast at Gamers Grove. The owner is accommodating and so nice and the place is just amazing. Perfect spot for end of the year celebration, birthday party or just a rainy day. Highly recommend. Best part is, I didn't have to hear the noise at my house!!
Amazing time! Kiddos had a blast. Helpful and knowledgeable staff? birthday party success !! 10/10 recommend!
Almost everything about Gamers Grove Esports Center is amazing! It's nice environment, great performance in games, and overall just a fun place to hangout with friends. The only things I would want is a wider selection on food and snacks and adding FFXIV to its library of games! I highly recommend this place to anyone that wants to have the definitive gaming experience!
Great place, lots of fun. If you can't afford a decent gaming experience at home this is the place to come to. Bring your kids.
Gamers Grove is so much fun! The ambiance sets the right mood, and the games are fun and plentiful to keep kids busy for hours. The VIP room is a nice option for a group of friends. The owner was really nice too. Great for all around fun! Try it out, you won't be disappointed!
I highly recommend this place to who want have fun with their friends. The employees team is very kind, helpful and the computer equipments really amazing. Thank you for your service.
Awesome experience. Lighting is on point and the systems are properly built up for the most extreme of gaming. Don't forget to check out the private room for multi player setups.
Good prices and they host, private parties, tournaments, and events. Prize pools are available and they offer a private steaming room
Both of my boys love going to Gamers Grove. They enjoy the pcs, gaming chairs, and most of all, the ability to go and play with their friends in a really cool and safe environment. The private room is their favorite place to play with the big screen tv for all of them to watch. Most importantly, the staff is great with them. They help them log on and are beyond patient. We love having them in town!
The employees and owners are amazing. Mortal Kombat tournaments every Friday night have been hype, and they have been extremely accommodating! I look forward to every Friday night.
My son and his youth basketball team had their end of season party at Gamers Grove. The kids had a great time, the staff was very helpful and attentive to the needs of the kids. During the party they set up a spur of the moment Madden and NBA tournament for the kids and they had a blast. Also, the staff handled the food order for us and had it delivered to the business.
The owner is really cool and nice, they have a snack bar, a good restroom and a very nice gaming experience. Also those monitors were probably the best I've ever seen in any esports event ngl
Took my daughter for the first time. The owners were extremely helpful and set up my daughter to play! She had a blast playing with her friends! She is very excited to go back again soon!
We had our?s son?s 8th birthday here and it was a blast! It was a great change of pace from the standard kid?s birthday parties and we had great feedback from all our guests. Thanks to the team at GG for helping making it a great day.
Great venue for anyone who likes to game and plenty of snacks and refreshments. Right near a few restaurants with great food as well. All in all 10/10 spot!
My kids love this place! What a great addition to the heart of downtown Cedar Grove. Top of the line systems, keyboards, headphones and my daughter says ?really comfy gaming chairs!?.
Nice addition to the town. The kids had a lot of fun, and so did I. The PC gaming rigs run effortlessly on the game selections, and look awesome. I also popped over to Cedar Beans for a coffee, great location.
Great Pcs that run games very well. Owner and workers are extremely nice and understanding.
My son and his friends love coming here. Highly recommend for anyone who enjoys gaming alone or with friends. Owner could not be nicer or more accommodating. Great addition to the community.
Gamers Grove is a really nice addition to our town! The facility is cutting edge and a great spot for all of your gaming needs. The owner Mitul, and his staff were all really helpful. I would highly recommend!
Went in today for the first time. The owner and staff were very helpful and patient with getting us registered, and helping the kids set up games each time they moved around. Clean space, friendly people, and lots of gaming options.
Wow! This venue is unlike anything in the surrounding area. The staff is super nice and very helpful. What a great addition to the area, whether it's to drop-in or a party/event. Not to mention it has a really cool setup!
Thrilled to share my experience with the exceptional gaming chairs at Gaming Grove! Mitul wanted my opinion of his gaming chairs. As Dr. Jeff Burrowes, DC, from Cedar Grove Family Chiropractic, I fully endorse these chairs for their ergonomic design that supports spinal health. Gaming Grove clearly prioritizes the well-being of their gaming community, making these chairs a perfect choice for tournaments and fun gaming sessions. A big win for gamers of all ages!
Hands down the best PC cafe around. Friendly staff and overall a great place to kick back and game.
My son went to a friend's bday party tonight and had a blast. He can't wait to do the fortnight Friday's. Now he wants his next birthday party at Gamera Grove!
We hosted our basketball championship party here. The owner, Mitul, was very helpful from start to finish. The kids participated in a NBA2K and Madden tournament. They were impressed with the internet speed and state of the art gaming systems! We will be back!
Really fun. Definitely worth the $15 for 3 hours
Really nice setup, got everything you need to get your gamer itch scratched. Bringing my nephew here for his birthday in April, he's already excited about it once I told him. Good addition to Cedar Grove
Got to spend some time here before they officially opened. This place has everything you could want if you're into gaming with some high speed internet to compliment the experience. Very clean, a great location and the owner is super friendly.
This place is the best esports center/gaming cafe I have ever been to. They have a huge library to choose from and so many gaming stations. The setup was really cozy as well. The owner was super nice and really accommodating, making the experience above and beyond. I fully recommend this place for any college students or any esports teams

New place that just opened with a best-in-class gaming platform. Parents, get ready to send your kids here - they're going to go nuts!
If Ready Player One was real life, Gamers Grove would be it! This place is like gamer?s heaven!
Super cool vibe and set up. My son and his friends loved it.
Good vibes and plentiful setups
This is the place to be!! I can't wait to do a takeover here!! You guys meet me here!!
Beautiful Ambiance. The go to spot for any gaming needs.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.”
