GameTime Houston

Reviews Summary

Game Time receives mixed reviews, with many praising its fun atmosphere, variety of activities, and excellent bartenders like David and KD. Families enjoy the arcade, bowling, and rides, though some find the pricing steep. However, complaints focus on poor food quality, cold buffets, unhelpful staff, and misleading time limits for play. While some visitors have memorable experiences, others feel scammed or disappointed, especially with management handling issues poorly. The venue shines when service is attentive but falters with inconsistent offerings and cleanliness.

Customer Reviews

This was WORTH my drive!!! It has everything for all ages of kids and adults. They have a disco ride and my oldest literally did not get off until he threw up! lol. BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE! We paid $ 260 for buffet unlimited rides and unlimited games!! For 2 adults and 4 kids!! If you are looking for a good drink and talk go to the bar with David he was amazing!!! Worth to give it a try! Ps. I did NOT even take pictures of everything!

David was amazing! From the moment we walked in, he made sure everything ran smoothly and that the kids were having a great time. He was friendly, professional, and patient?even with the wild energy of a big group! You can tell he genuinely cares about the guests and wants everyone to have fun. Thank you, David, for making our visit memorable. We'll definitely be back!

This place was great and refreshing. It was so much space, plenty things to do and a great place for you to come with your family. Drinks at the bar were great. Loved the staff and the environment.

We went on a Friday night, the place was empty which was surprising, the food had been sitting there awhile but still good, my kids requested a fresh pizza and they made it upon request. The guy at the front forgot to give us our buffet wrist band so we were confronted by staff, we later went up to go get it. The value was great, the kids had a lot of fun and went back for several plates of food, they were happy and satisfied. Deandre was very nice attentive. He asked me how my experience was and thanked m

STAY AWAY !!! It was our first time at Game Time and we were extremely disappointed and outraged. The worst part of our experience has to do with the Manager (Mark Kendall) and the way he handled the situation. Mark was nice and polite at first, but soon shifted to unprofessional and childish when we pinned him to the corner exposing the way they scammed our party. We rented the entire place for us during non-working hours and had agreed to 4.5 hours of fun time for all 50 of our 4th & 5th grade student

We are having fun! I was worried when I read the reviews about broken games but literally only ran into 1. Kinda don't want to write this review because it's nice not being over crowded and getting bumped into while we ride ride and play games! Don't come, yall!! lol KD makes the best drinks and is so personable! The conversation is so great and inviting ??

Our bartender David was so nice. He made great drinks, so pretty! ?? a really cool dude! We have been going here for years and so much better than "iTz"... by far. ???? We had pizza and milkshakes. Kinda wish the prize area wasn't so "computer automated," but it worked out... see u soon, David!!! ??????

So it's no longer called ?Itz? it's ?Game Time? now. Same set up, we did buffet, all day rides, and a game pass. While the children went to have fun? We sat at the bar and met KD. KD was the best part about the experience. He showed us hospitality, kindness, and respect, and please believe he does not miss on the drinks !!! 10/10 bartending skills, and knows how to make you feel like yall have known each other for years. Very cool guy, overall great experience. Everyone was polite and funny. Great visit for

It's a good place. To take your kids, especially during the week in the summertime. Nobody's there, hardly they get to ride the rides. Also I got a VIP pass. You can go bowling all summer long

.i truly did not think I could get any worse than it was when it stopped being ?Itz Fun Pizza? HOW did they manage to get worse? out of five games played three of them required the games, tech guy to come over and refund the money because they were broken.. The pizza was 1299 for the buffet, but there was only three pizzas set out. They look like they've been there all day. They told me that a guy would come make the pizzas if I ordered a fresh one, but I couldn't find anyone who worked here if you look in

Just had an incredible time at Game Time Houston and had to share! From start to finish, everything was top-tier. The frozen drinks and margaritas were absolutely on point?perfectly blended and so refreshing! The food was surprisingly delicious for a game spot?fresh, flavorful, and hit the spot for both kids and adults. Speaking of kids, they had an absolute blast! So many games and activities kept them entertained for hours. It's definitely a win for families looking for fun and quality time. And I can't

We went there during the weekdays and it was not so many people at that time. There were only 2 staff members and they were going back and forth to open rides to the people. Do not think that if you get card it will be enough for the rides. Unfortunately, you need to get another card from bowling place to be able to ride any rides and the one you got it from the machine is for only playing. We enjoyed but I wish it was some sign that explains what works what so we would not waste our money. We rode bumping

Such a total disappointment. We had never been before and thought this would be a great time for our kids. BIG MISTAKE. We walked around searching for an employee to explain how things work. After about 10 minutes of walking around we finally found someone who directed us to go to the bowling alley. We go to the bowling alley and there is 1 employee. We tell her that this was our 1st time here and we needed guidance. After she explained (not very well). I go to pay and she tells me that she doesn't take ca

My boyfriend and I, along with my sister and her boyfriend took a spontaneous trip to this location to which we were all first timers here. As we played bowling we had a great service attendant identified as David. He definitely made us feel comfortable and very welcomed. He livened up the party and made the whole experience worthwhile. He definitely deserved his tips! When you come here ask for David. :)

Customer, friendly staff, amazing atmosphere wonderful deals. What more could you ask for? Here at game time they covered everything. My kids had a blast! We will be back.

We had a great time! The kids loved it and the adults loved the buffet!!!! Will be returning soon

We had such an amazing time tonight bowling! David helped us and was exceptional! Great music, fun venue and the best customer service.

We had a great experience here at Game Time! The kids loved every second of the games and the bowling! The Bartender David was great he came around making sure we were ok and had everything we needed! The buffet really made the experience great for the kids! Worth the wild

Today 3/30/25 my some, wife and grandchildren asked for my husband and I to attend this event center with them on a family outing. We (the grandparents) are extremely happy that we did accept their offer. This is a very family friendly experience for all. My husband and I had the opportunity to meet a bartender by the name of David. David made this outing even more fun for us (the grown ADULTS) lol Thank you Mr David and the rest of their friendly staff. Trust me, we will be returning & we hope to see David

My kids and I loved our visit here! I especially love their $10 Tuesdays deal?just $10 per person for the buffet and a $10 play card for two hours! Such a great money saver! The kids had a blast and didn't want to leave, so I got them the all-day unlimited attractions pass for only $11.95 each, and we stayed until closing! Highly recommend!

AVOID AT ALL COSTS! I planned a classroom trip to this location. I spoke to someone on the phone and they told me that the students have 4.5 hours of play time and 1 hour of lunch. So this means that the total time is 5.5 hours. As a school, we booked the bus accordingly and planned our day that we will spend a full 5.5 hours at the locations. When we arrived, I asked the woman , who was the same one that is spoke to on the phone, if we should start anywhere specific or if there is an itinerary that we shou

David, our bar tender was excellent. He was so kind. We are from San Antonio. It was our first time at this location. He served great drinks and he told us some great spots to visit in Houston. It's is the place to be. Thank you David. And thank you management. We had an incident with the power going out due to weather?.but the customer service was great. Most importantly my kids had fun!!!

I love it here. My kids and I had a blast love the food, the drinks, and was not expecting to have so much fun but we did I recommend them to any and everyone. Really good for birthday parties.

Took my 2 kids today and the pizza was trash. Only had 2l3 different kind of pizza. And the 2 hours we was there it was the same cold pizza they didn't put anything else out. Ill never go there again. I would like a refund cuz 12.99 isn't worth it.

We paid for the buffet and they never gave us wrist bands, rude lady comes up yelling saying? where are your wrist bands, can't have any drinks without wrist bands go get them? and snatched the cups from us. Went to go get the wrist bands, she comes back up yelling the same thing but this time we had them, she goes ?Yeah that's right? and walks off. Never going back complete waste of time and money!

DAVID helped us have an AMAZING experience, it was so much better with him helping us out, for real, no BS, BEST customer service I've ever had in my life and that is not a lie. That man deserves a raise. The place is a lot of fun, but David made the entire experience worthwhile and would definitely come back just for him. Request his service, he'll make it worth it!!!

Had a great time this past weekend with the kiddos! Some of the machines did not work & took our credits but nothing too bad. David the Bartender was awesome! He made great drinks & was very friendly to my sister & I (not over the top or anything like that). Just a really nice guy!

We had a lot of fun. It was my first time and I loved it. It was so much fun for kids and adults too. Food was good and prices were even better ... staff was kind and helpful. My daughter had a wonderful time with her friends!

Food was so bad. Just rewarmed pizza with no sauce. The bowling lanes kept locking up even though we were on a time schedule. Groupon was good. Would not come without it.

Bartender makes AMAZING drinks! I absolutely love it! Plus customer service is on point! Our family has a great experience every time we have come to this location. Five of us played for a hour and had our own 10in pizza for less than $90.

I remember when it was ITz. The arcade is great but the buffet could be better. Bring back the salad bar and have more selections of pizza. Other than that, it's a cool fun place for kids to play arcades and rides.

Went on the 26th for a bday party. Stopped by the bar for a drink. Wonderful service. Very fast and friendly and great drinks. KD was the best bartender and very great service would definitely be back and recommend for friends and family

We had a delicious dinner! What a great atmosphere for sports loving people! This was my first time here! Plenty of parking! Great service! Fast service! I had the amazing onion rings, ribs, and chicken wings!

First time here. Kids loved it will definitely be back on the cheaper days ( Tuesday or Thursday) but the food is not worth it. Hardly anything to pick from and was not fresh. We will come to play but eat elsewhere

Payed $87 got the buffet for 2 hours , after not even 1 hour cups were thrown away , asked for another cup was told I have to pay for other cups after I done payed for 3 buffet passes only been there for 30 min & also pizza was cold and old better off going to cicis pizza

David was friendly and knowledgeable. He made my children feel comfortable and they enjoyed their time. Thank you David for being kind, we will be back!

Food was cold, dry and old. Did not like food at all! Kids had a great time playing games but the food was definitely not it! Do not buy their buffet!

UPDATE: This place has gone down!!! No more buffet, pay per item. Looks like a ghost town in food area. Ordered my food, they asked me where I would be sitting, then when it was ready they came all the way to find me to let me know it was ready. Staff was so rude, then made me carry the whole pizza, plates and drink by myself. Like you could have just brought the freaking pizza to me. ??????? Staff not as nice, prices aren't as flexible (not as many package offers) Not as many people here anymore. I wouldn?

I wanted to give this place a better rating, it's definitely seen better days. The lighting was very dim, hard to see in some areas. The carpet is old and worn out but it was very disappointing that the carpets are dirty and sticky. Some of the games were run down too. This is a very big place and a great concept. We purchased the unlimited pass for the attractions but there is not alot to offer for attractions. I felt like it was a waste of $23.00. The arcade seems limited for the size of this place. The m

My first time with my family and we felt very welcomed by David who was serving us the whole time whether it be drinks or food. He definitely made the experience great for us.

We recently brought a group of 53 students to Game Time and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. From the beginning, the staff did not explain how to use the arcade cards properly, which caused confusion and wasted time. We were told we had 2 hours and a half of playtime in arcade but only got to use 1 hour before being told to stop for lunch at 11 AM. After lunch, when our students returned to continue playing, they were abruptly told their time was up. Naturally, the students were disappoin

Would have given more stars, but some marketing genius decided that a germ infested waiting to catch covid kiosk to select your prize was a great idea. Literally took forever to even get up to one. Horrible idea especially with children. Meanwhile the guy behind counter was just as welcoming and talkative as the kiosk. Boo to this place. There are definitely a lot better places than this place to take your kids.

Just came here for the fifth grade field trip with my oldest. I was very surprised by how many games and rides they had. It was pretty awesome, and all the kids loved it.

Great customer service and clean. The best part of this activity was definitely David. He was THE BEST bartender! funny, gave us reviews on the best drinks and even gave us some tips on fun places around Houston. Coming back to Houston just for him!!!!!!

Food is not good... they charge way too much for arcade games if you want to get claw games included. It was fun for a one time deal.

I had a great experience at Game Time Houston! The bar tender was awesome, the drink I had was on point! The kids had a blast with all the games and attractions and the staff were helpful and friendly. We'll definitely be back!

This was my first time in you establishment and I must say David the bartender makes the best Paloma I've had in long time. Hats off to you David. Great place will be back!!

Had my child's 17th birthday this weekend. Never to old to have fun! Thank you David, DeAndre, Amaira, Nae, and Kelsey for all your help. The kids had a great time.

My kids had fun here celebrating my son?s 6th birthday. They enjoyed the bumper carts and games.. the food was lacking and I'll just leave that there. But I did have a drink from the bartender JD, He made me a drink that had me like whewww. I would definitely recommend getting your adult drink?s from him.

This place was so fun and the workers are very chill still doing their job but still nice. Fun games great food

Came for a birthday party and had the most absolute fun! We bowled, played games and even enjoyed the buffet. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a family friendly outing

This place is the biggest waste of money . Height and weight restrictions for some rides is crazy where at other places my 4 year old is able to rock climbing and ride bumper cars she was limited to the monkey ride. 9.95 to ride one ride over and over . Same for my 10 year old only 3 rides is insane. Then 25 dollar an hour timed play for this arcade . Chuck e cheese has a better variety of games. This is basically an arcade fot kids 9+ Who don't mind playing the same games over and over again. Buffet is

I tasted a frozen margarita that was made by David and it was bomb!! My son and nephew had a blast on the games. It was all and all a great time

The bartender was the best one I have ever experienced. He had great service and makes the best drinks I'll recommend him any day. Thanks for the great experience

My Boi man down town came threw w them drinks! Love it. He's 10 out 0f 10! Bring the kids n have fun!

This place is way better than Itz was .They have alot of games varied and My 10 year old son loves playing as many as he can on timed card(Tuesday Only special 1hr unlimited play $10)Everyday is a different promotion . He also likes the attraction(indoor mini coaster ,Lazer tag , 4D motion seating ,Bowling ,Bumper cars ) stuff it's fair priced and big . More affordable than Itz and has alot more video games it seems geared towards a little bit older . ( If they can play video games and carnival type games ,

Hello again... my girlfriend and I to her two boys out for a family outing today... and we decided on It'z family food & fun.... we all had a great time... playing unlimited video games... unlimited attractions and unlimited buffet... everyone was happy and grinning from ear too ear... well until next time signing off Two Peas... P.S I have to change my vote this last time we went was horrible games where broken , no buffet for that kind of money it's not worth it

My grand kids had a great time! They enjoyed the pizza and the other items. My big concerns was the silverware there had spots all over them, they didn't look clean; I spoke with a man who was in the area about the silverware who said he would take care of it. We went back to check so we could get the silverware and they looked the same my 9 year old granddaughter looked at the silverware an chose not to use them. I spoke to another man a couple of hours later who gave me some plastic forks and that was nic

I celebrated my kids bday here. Their friends, family and I had a blast!! I got the ALL DAY UNLIMITED pass for everyone. The rock climbing was a challenge...couldn't make it past the 3rd stone ????. The bumper cars was fun! I didn't get on the Disk-O ride, it's too fast for me but the kids kept getting on it. The redemption machines are not included in the package but still purchased points for the kids for extra fun. I recommend this place for bigger kids and adults that want to be kids.

As far as arcade buffets and family amusement centers go, IT?Z is about the best in Houston. (Although I still have no clue how to pronounce the name.) I've been here twice for birthday parties, once in 2016 and again in 2018. The most recent trip was on a Saturday afternoon/ evening, and although it was very busy it was not over-crowded. The entry fee is steep, but the unlimited game play passes are worth it. Amenities include: arcade, ticket games, prize center, bowling, bumper cars, air hockey, laser maz

The place is lively! I bought the unlimited three hours pass, which gives me access to monkey jump, disk?o, lazer maze, arcades(no prizes or ticket games only), and bumper cars. There was an okay amount of games without prizes. My card kinda went weird because I would swipe and it would say ?no funds? even if the game offered no prizes or tickets. Also, a lot of games were broken down and didn't work. Me and my friends tried to play tomb raider with all four of us, but turns out, two player slots were broke

Had an absolute blast ! First time in Houston and David was so nice at the bar he gave us good pointers for Houston and he also made some really good drinks for some really specific people ! Definitely will be returning !!

Enjoyed time with my daughter and grandkids. Drinks didn't taste like they had any alcohol in them. Didn't know bowling was hourly. Thought it was per game, but it was still fun. I lost to my grandson! Grandma needs more practice! Lol! Oh, they loved the bumper cars and whatever the ride is called that swings you in the air. All in all, we had a great time. Will go again.

The early bird deal on weekends is so worth it; we can bowl, play and eat for cheap. Also not busy at all. People are friendly and the whole family has a blast

This has become our families family favorite place to come for a day out! We enjoy playing the games, bowling, and the wonderful service. The adult beverages are great as well! I highly suggest you visit!

Most of the machines kept taking my points but didnt work. Fries were way too salty. No Condiments Were Offered. Shame They Too Away Buffet. The Monkey Jump Was Great For Both My Daughter & I. Bumper Cars Were Closed, Disco Was Closed. The Prize Clerk Seemed Annoyed When I Asked For Assistance On Picking A Prize. I asked what I was able to get since half the prizes didnt have price value on them. Spent $100 About $40 worth was taken by broken machines.

Had a great experience with my nephews! Variety of packages and deals as well as had really good pizza ! David, the bartender made great drinks, service all around was really good !

Haven't been here since COVID , definitely not as many people as before and understaffed , most of the rides and games are open including the bowling alley. Buffet is closed you can order pizza independently from a menu . Kids always have fun .

Well unfortunately covid brought this place down ??. Came today to celebrate my daughter's accomplishments. And it's sad to say i was really disappointed. I expected to walk in get my play cards go to the buffet and chow down to a movie with my family. But sad to say... I'm sitting in the middle of the store looking at my phone on YouTube with my daughter cause they have nothing else. But sports playing. Oh ya i spent $180 roughly give or take. Food and games... They added some new games at lease. Still dis

This is a great place for a child's party. I was pleasantly surprised with the all you can eat buffet. The pizza had a bounty of toppings and a really tasty crust. The one thing that I enjoyed the most other than the atmosphere was the hotdogs. I know they say you never want to find what's in a hotdog but I don't care. These were the tastiest hotdogs I've had since I was a child. They were so good I had four of them including four mini corn dogs hopefully made from the same recipe. I don't know when I will

Great experience! David took great care of us at the bar and the kids had a blast! Great spot to celebrate for the whole family

Family birthday party was fantastic David was a great host as a bartender. The party host was great as well Thank You ?? ?? ??

Do not have a party here! I get there and start bringing things inside. Asked for a cart, made several trips to my car before they brought one. I had to put everything on the front desk. The party room was depressing and everything was old and looked dirty. Online it says there's new management and they redid the place. There were flickering lights, old tape on the walls, the chairs looked beat up. They had set the table, but hadn't put up the decorations I brought the day before. It wasn't a lot, just a sm

Had my sons birthday here. Very easy and the girls walked me through everything that I needed to do for the day of the party. It was worry free and the kids loved it!

Me and my kids went to game time and by accident I lost my 2yr old son inside we looked everywhere for over 15 mins but he disappeared completely,, mothers worst nightmare,, but god send us a hero , one of the staff his Name is Mr David found him and returned him to us ,, I'm soooo thankful and can't say enough words to express my feelings after I saw my baby again , Mr David god bless u and ur family thank u so much

Overall, it's expensive and not worth the cards or the money. They have a red cad for games that are old and the chances of winning low. The better games are on a blue card, but it has time limits.

Wasn't impressed with staff food or service!! Bartender pictured was very rude unprofessional and horrible service !!! Pizza was bland , birthday host looked lost ?. Wouldn't recommend

We went for bowling and to eat ! They no longer have the buffet which was sad. The staff also weren't helpful and didn't really want to explain anything. They're participating in the KIDS BOWL FOR FREE PROGRAM which is great ! The restrooms were dirty and no one was cleaning the bowling tables after they would leave . So we had to just move around the stuff to be comfortable.

Came her for some fun with the kids the buffet is a cool ideas David the bartender was phenomenal made some good drinks with the hint of what I needed q

They did not serve us at all. We came all the way from the south side and got nothing. Had allot of attitude the manager did not deal with the situation at all

I recommend this place. The staff are friendly and helpful, especially the owner.

Kd was one of the dopest people in the building!!! Loved the peach watermelon lemon drop ??????

You gotta come thru! No doubt this is the place to spend less money for more fun in all houston! I will recommend talk to jesus a very well trained manager!! Respectful, comprehensive , he is the real meaning of a manager when it comes to questions and understanding

Great experience ?? kids are having fun ?? we're at the bar having a chat after dinner. Groupon discounts are for sure a plus !

Fun place for the family. It is rare to see a game out of order. Most arcade games are either shooting or racing. Maybe needs a little more variety. The prize games are more diverse. Food is good as expected from a non-traditional fast food place. Mainly young people running the place which is nice to see. Overall good experience.

I was sitting at the bar and serviced by David He was intentive. Super informative and very healpful with my kids. The drinks were Amazing and great customer service I would highly recommend.

I miss when it was actually ITZ not this gametime? I went thinking the kids can play and eat just for it to be dry and boring plus nomore food buffet .. I wish I would of known that before spending my money just for my kids to not enjoy there selfs is disappointing

Great bartender service! David was so nice and welcoming! Drinks tasted amazing and not watered down at all!

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.”

Why are arcade prize games so exciting to play?

Arcade prize games are a thrilling highlight in 2025! Claw machines, skee-ball, and ticket-redemption games like basketball offer a rush of skill and chance, with rewards like plushies, toys, or electronics up for grabs. Modern machines feature vibrant lights, digital scoreboards, and responsive controls, amplifying the fun. The lively arcade atmosphere, with cheering crowds and buzzing energy, makes every win feel epic.
