Customer Reviews

A cool spot for the family and kids with a full arcade. Typical bar-food type eats. Had some good lemon pepper wings. The bar area is cool by itself but the addition of an arcade makes it a great option for family and friends to congregate and play some games.

Our kids loved it here. They spent the entire time we were there playing games. Unfortunately they spent quite a bit of money. The food was decent. They have a wide menu of pub food. We got a chicken salad sandwich, prime rib sandwich and chicken strips and fries. It was right around the corner from where we were staying. There's plenty of free parking and there was no wait on a Sunday evening.

Pretty good spot to watch any game. Solid TV-to-person ratio. Be aware that if you get the half-off burger, each topping is an additional $1.75. We accidentally ran up a check on the company card. Oops.

We really liked this restaurant. My girls wanted to go to an arcade, so this hit the mark. We were also there on Bingo night, so that was fun too. It was definitely family friendly, and the food was good as well.

We held our annual holiday luncheon today. Jason was absolutely amazing to work with. Everything was ready at arrival, they even hid our gingerbread man for us to find~always check the tequila!! Thank you Jason and team for a wonderful event!

When we arrived. 1 table on restaurant side and 2 on arcade side. Bar itself was full. We sat, party of 4, on arcade side. We ordered drinks and appetizer. Then ordered food when appetizer arrived. Waitress came and asked how food was, we hadn't received yet. Once received steaks were good but very salty, almost too much. That was last time we saw waitress. After 20 minutes I approached her on other side and asked if she could come back to table for more drinks and an order to go. Waited another 15 minutes,

By far not the pickiest family at all. Saw great reviews wanted to try it and it was a waste of money. Place looks cool but food was mediocre at best. Not one of us finished even half the plate. And food took forever to come out with only 2 tables including us (not including the bar)

Recently held my son?s fourth birthday party here in the arcade side. Food was great, service was great, and all the kids had a blast.

Clean sports bar with good food in strip mall on way towards Folly Beach. No chicken wings but the chicken strips are HUGE. Only 4 but each is the size of 2 traditional long tenders. Chicken sandwich is good. Chicken nachos and sides were quality... not just fillers.

Great place for the family. Children can play while you watch a game. Best service I've had in several months. Highly recommend the steak sandwich, Chicken quesadilla and the chicken sandwich. Will make this a regular stop.

I love a good arcade !! There was a good amount of games. Very interactive. They have a bar and this particular night they had live music. The kitchen was still open at 11:00 which is always a plus. Games -Ax Throwing -Connect 4 basketball -Fast n Furious -Motorcycles -Shooting Stimulators -Air Hockey

The onion rings are so tasty and I love the breading on them! The spring rolls are great too. They have tons of differently-loaded baked potatoes to try, including a vegetarian one!

We ate at Garage 75 for the first time last night. We were visiting Folly Beach and one of our party members wanted steak without having to go back to downtown Charleston. After searching ?steak? in google maps, this was the only place that had a ribeye in our area. We were hesitant since it seemed like a bar and grill more than a place to get a good steak, but we are sure glad we went. Our server, Morgan, was a sweetheart. She was knowledgeable about the food and the beer. She was also very attentive. The

Absolutely delicious! I ordered through a delivery app but this did not disappoint., tasty comfort food with its own twist. Highly recommended

Good food, fun atmosphere and great service. My son enjoyed the plentiful prime rib special. Hubs got Irish nachos (yum) I got some tasty wings and shared the pistachio brie appetizer, which is to die for! They have a nice kids menu. My 10 year old cousin got a chicken filet with fruit n veg. The chicken was so generous we didn't try to make her finish lol. Our waiter was very knowledgeable about the beer selection and had my guys loosened up and ready to play. This is a beautiful thing on a Friday evening

Driven by this place several times driving to and from Folly Beach. Checked out the menu while laying on beach and decided to give it a try. Definitely will return. Everything tasted great. The salad was fresh and not just a plate of lettuce. The steak was tender, juicy, and flavorful. They cooked it exactly rare... most places give me medium rare. The shrimp were seasoned nicely and not overcooked. Even a basic side of broccoli was excellent.

Great place for delicious food, Casual environment sports bar type place

The staff is amazing, the food is delicious and tastes expensive without actually being too expensive, it has a great energy with great drinks at the bar, and the arcade is such a fun edition, so excited that me and my boyfriend found our new hang out/dinner spot near charleston!!

Best wings by a mile. Stay away from hot as it just is a weird heat, try hot garlic Also the boneless wings rock They rock Did I mention that on Thursday it's 20 wings for 13 dollars !!!

Wasn't bad, but chicken wrap tasted like others..I know that's not a bad thing but a difference is always good, you know what I'm saying? But atmosphere was cool, I sat at the bar and service wasn't the quickest because it was kind of busy for the one bartender. I'm sure they're hiring staff but like I've always said it will make a t_-D... If you can spell you WON!!!! Not really but hey if ya got some little ones or even a lunch break go ahead try it out for yourself. Everyone's opinion is different. Hope y

The ribeye steak was so good! Cooked to perfection. The service was great and Donnie was an awesome waitress.

Burger was awesome. They were out of chips and grits which was a bit disappointing. I had the hangover burger and it had a fantastic taste with the bacon and bacon jam being super good. The bloody Mary bar was pretty good too. I tried my daughter's chicken fingers and honey mustard sauce and they were very tasty. Great food.

The food was outstanding got the pistachio Brie appetizer fantastic and the chicken flatbread my son got there ribeye we were pleased with everything. The service is a different story definitely didn't check on us enough had to ask someone else for refill ask for to go boxes he took his sweet time bringing those..... As much as I would of like to leave no tip I don't believe in that he definitely got more than he was worth.

Often loud, but great steak and potato meal! I mean ... like, RIDICULOUSLY delish steak! It is sooooo worth it. There is no need to go to Outback for a steak. It's right here.

First time there and everything was great. Emmanuel was the greeter and pretty much our waiter and he did a magnificent job. Will definitely be going back

Had such a great experience! My four year old had been crying, and after we got seated the owner came by and gave both my boys a toy. He wished them a Merry Christmas, and reminded my four year old to be nice to mama. My four year old was so excited by this gift and his mood instantly changed. We got pretzel bites and nachos, both were super yummy. The boys had a lot of fun playing the arcade games. Our server was very sweet and attentive, as was the owner who came by to check on us again later. I'm so glad

Great fun and food, the beer was cold and games were fun. Friday night with my kids and they loved Garage 75.

Food was good and solid atmosphere, also good service in the restaurant area. My issue and reason for 3 stars is the arcade. It's obvious that whoever is running this side of the business doesn't care about the quality of the experience. There were numerous machines that were broken, including both card loading machines (how you actually play the games) being out of order and in limited working order. In addition to many being broken (please see photos), the claw prize machines were loaded with prizes 2x a

This place was a hit! Great food! Great atmosphere! And a great arcade! My girlfriend and I love video games and burgers and this was the perfect place to go. Plus, I haven't been bowling in years so the mini bowling lanes brought back memories.

Amazing service and delicious food. They have definitely improved alot!

Our waitress was amazing. Food was delicious and our 3 littles (4,3,2) loved all the arcade games, especially the Play Till You Win clawssl that made them feel special

I like burgers and someone suggested I check this place out. Turned out... to be a good recommendation. One of my favorite spots in the Folly Beach / James Island area. I don't think there isn't anything in the menu that doesn't look good. I said burgers, well they securely didn't disappoint me. I think I may have been back 3 times for this burger. Some days I get it single and others I get it double. Good, simple burger. The double is fulfilling.

Very cool place! Video games, great food, laid back. Chicken salad sandwich was awesome! Keep it up! Wish I could have this place in Moncks Corner.

Food was great, arcade was terrible. There were about 12 or so games to play and they worked by sliding a card you put money on (typical arcade prepaid card). Twice, the machine took our money and put nothing onto our cards, leading us to wait for the manager to manually put money on the card, which took about 15 minutes the first time. We kind of expected him to put extra on the card for the trouble, but we got what we paid for. After coming back to reload our cards, the machine again didn't work, but we g

My first time eating here, excellent hamburger at reasonable prices. Katie was a terrific server and very nice!!

First time here at 75 was pretty good. We had a cheeseburger with potato wedges, broccoli cheddar bacon potato & candied brussle sprouts. The burger ?? was very good ?? & I liked the wedges, but be careful if you don't like anything a little spicy my wife was sad she couldn't eat them ??. The brussle sprouts were unexpectedly good & the potato ?????? was also, but unfortunately was a little cold wouldn't even melt the butter ?? still good though. Screens everywhere so you don't miss a second of a game & the

Food and service were good. The onion rings in particular were amazing. Arcade was fun though several games were broken and the star wars pinball machine worked but the screen was broken so couldn't figure out score or anything.

I ordered a grilled chicken sandwhich. The portions was fair. I'd say more than I expected. This was one of the better grilled chicken sandwhiches that ive had at bars/diners. The pub chips weren't bad either. The arcade section is pretty cool. It's on the smaller side but a big plus when it's attached to a bar/restaurant.

I'm from out of town and ordered a hamburger chips and broccoli. The chips were awful and broccoli had no seasoning and burger had too much seasoning. Disappointing for the money spent. This was delivered thru door dash so I have no idea what restaurant is like. Review strictly on food.

My boyfriend and I live on Folly. He has been coming to this restaurant for years. We came here on a Friday night to unwind and have steaks. He ordered his usual ribeye; I ordered the filet. Our steaks came out and we noticed that my steak smelled a bit sour. After tasting it, I knew immediately it was bad. We flagged down the server and she said that she would have the chef come out to talk to me. After waiting 15-20 minutes, the chef came out with a new steak. He told me that this steak was from the same

The bathroom was stank, the pizza was horrible, the fries were too oily and overall, I did not like this experience, I rate this a one

The candied brussel sprouts with prosciutto was a good experience. The burger was pretty tall too. They let you build your own burger here which can be expensive but options are always nice to have.

This is a really cool bar/arcade/sports bar. Everything I've tried has been really good. Went with boneless wings and wedges tonight. They have deal nights that are definitely worth stopping in for.

Great menu, great atmosphere. Fun games. Really nice late night menu too, and not a crazy late night bar. Nice, fun, easy going, fun place for games, food, and football. The house chips are divine, and the lamb chili is award winning, especially on a cool fall football Saturday. The wings are great (get them extra crispy!). Check out the game day menus too. The only drawback is finding a seat some days becuase it's such a popular spot, esp on football Saturdays and Sundays.

We had a great time and definitely enjoyed our food... The lunch special of the day really out did itself...

This bar/restaurant/arcade was great for my family. The food was yummy and my kids had a blast at the arcade. The only downside of our visit was they were doing some sort of fundraiser, so it was super crowded and they didn't have enough staff to handle it.

Excellent spot on James Island! Chill vibe. Damn tasty wings! Killer burgers and a fun staff. Could use less basic beer choices and more fun ones but that's not a deal breaker. I haven't even tried the arcade but people seem to love it

We were excited to try a smash burger that they advertise for every Wednesday only to get home with a regular cheeseburger with one undercooked. Not crispy or smashed. The flavor was good and the price was right buy not a smash burger by any means. The service was slow, in fact the guy in front of us at the bar walked out because he couldn't get service.

We came in for some wings and something new and they didn't disappoint. From the smash burger to the wings to the seafood platter and the baked potatoes and loaded fries ; we were pleased. Caroline was a great server and the burger was grilled to perfection.

Bar food, but not typical bar food. I don't like restaurants that can't get the table's food out at the same time. Two in our party got their food significantly later than the rest and only after we questioned the waitress. As far as atmosphere, it's an arcade bar. I hate when you sit down and the tables are sticky. Too many good restaurants in James Island to go there again.

Ordered steak med rare and it came well done plus . Why put it on the plate and no I don't want to wait 25 minutes for another one . We were planning to bring 8 of us up next week and I knew son would like a steak . Not coming now because he gets med rare as well . So 8 meals and 4 kids game cards . Disappointed because heard on FB it was a good steak for the money . I guess it is if you like really well done.

Just had date night to celebrate some good news and we always love going to our favorite restaurant Garage 75. I had the filet special which was served with a delicious balsamic glaze. It was so tender and cooked perfectly. My husband had his favorite rib eye sandwich. Service was great, we are never disappointed coming here!

Buddy said steak was great. BBQ potato boats so so. Great, friendly service.

Sandwiches weren't great. Hastily thrown together with and not balanced. The chips looked and tasted burnt. The drinks were good, plenty of tvs for all the college games, and the gaming side was ok.

Good food but meat was a little on the salty side.

Apparently if they have a party they close off the whole arcade for one group, defeating the entire purpose of their establishment.

Great place! Has two rooms, one with a bar, TVs and seating and the other room is filled with video games, air hockey, basketball, etc. Great for those who want to stay away from the noise of the games but also great for parents who want to come and let their kids play games, while keeping an eye on them. Food is excellent and the beer selection is as well. Been here many times and its always been a positive experience. Highly recommend this place!

Fun...family oriented...great atmosphere...good service/ Awesome food

Stopped by to eat and play some arcade games. The food was alright the service was OK. The games were overpriced and selection was not the best

Our first time eating here and next time we are here we will definitely be back! If your looking for a good burger this is the place to go!! The French fries are amazing too!

I had drinks ?? with a friend. First time here, very nice atmosphere

Great for family?s, sports, work meetings. Covers all the bases. Great staff and environment.

Didn't get everything on the holy city hog pretty much just a baked potato

Food was terrible. We had a burger, fish & chips, fried shrimp & pretzels with queso. Flavor just wasn't there. Queso was about tbsps for a heaping bowl of over done pretzel bites. Seating was so close to each other you were practically sitting on each others laps. Games were ok at best. Definitely won't be back.

I was really impressed by both the meal and our serve. Far exceeded what you would expect.

They have an arcade! Nice place to bring the family. I loved the retro garage atmosphere, the music, and the service. Everyone enjoyed their food, and then we had some fun at the arcade. The games all start at about $1.50 and up also we all preferred the fries over the chips. Overall, it's a great place to visit, and they have specials too. I would definitely return and recommend a visit here.

RACIST, RACIST PLACE. THEY PUT GNATS IN MY DRINK. I tried so hard to give it the benefit of the doubt me & my boyfriend kept our cool the whole time. Smh if you're black and looking to try something new DO NOT even think about this place. I never experienced this kind of behavior ever. Server did the bare minimum, put everyone before us. When she took our order she sat at our table and was probably sick because she kept coughing all over while rocking the table that definitely wasn't sturdy? The jerk chick

Great place for kids and adults. Great staff!!!

DO NOT play the string cutting arcade game! It cost $2 a try and the scissors don't even touch, so there's no way you could ever win a prize. It should be illegal how much of a scam that is. If you need a watering hole, this place will do, but the menu is pretty basic bar food and the arcade is a rip off. Wings were dry and mashed potatoes and gravy very bland. I had higher hopes for this spot, but probably won't be returning.

The food was OK and we had to wait for the kids meal because of an error so my wife had to give her burger to our daughter as the replacement took forever to make. Also don't use the air hockey machine seems to just be there to steal a dollar as it does not work. I told a waitress thinking maybe they would unplug or put an out of order sign on it but nope just said ok.

Clean sports bar on the way to Folly Beach. I came with friends for Team Trivia night. We had a blast and won 2nd place! I had the Shrimp Po Boy and Chips and my group shared the loaded nachos. I tried their Red Raspberry Italian Ice Sour Ale which had a fruity flavor like a Sour Patch Kid. Skittles was a wonderful and friendly server. Had such a great experience! Absolutely delicious!

Loved it! Service was great! Food is amazing; from the smash burgers, to the wings, the seafood platter and the loaded fries. They didn't disappoint!!!!

I awesome place to have some food and/or grab a drink. Came here with a friend and had a good time playing ping pong, pool, pinball. Would def come back

More of a bar with arcade machines, less than a bar arcade. Their only unique arcade machine was a Stepmaniax (big song game with arrows to step on), but ONE song play for TWO dollars is a bad practice. Everything else is basically a Raw Thrills series of games. The atmosphere is friendly and there are different TVs for all kinds of sports as per all bar arcades. I do like to chill out and play games but I cant recommend purely for gameplay. I really was hoping to. As for food an drinks sure tho, come

I will give this place another chance because of the good reviews. But when I went there for the first time, I ordered a Cuban sandwich. It was a great disappointment. Greasy to the max. Bread was already soaked with grease. The chips were pretty good but I could only eat a few as they were soaked with grease also. It was cut in half but I could only eat half of a half. Did I say greasy? And no. That half didn't taste good at all. When I go back to eat I will update this review. Nice atmosphere though.

Perfect places for couples or families. Brought the kids and they had a blast while we also ordered yummy food and drinks. Very clean place and all the staff were very kind and attentive!

Stopped in for some food and drinks, they have an arcade with a variety of games.

Most of the food is good. We have come here twice. It is expensive for the portion sizes, kids shrimp meal for example is 8.75, kids like French fries that is a substitution charge of 2 dollars. So 11 bucks for a "kids meal." My wife had the prim rib, and she said it was good, not great but good. Everyone's view on price vs quality and value are different. I doubt we will go back, but make the decision for yourself. Give it at least one shot.

They have specials alot. Try the steak specials. There great

Great atmosphere, our waitress was great. She was fun, friendly, and knowledgeable of the menu. Had a small problem with one of our food items that was mis-ordered. But it was taken care of quickly.

Lots of games, live music, but no ping pong table. We came specifically to play ping pong, so... Didn't stay for long.

We had a company get together. It was a blast. Food was fantastic and the service for the wait staff was excellent. Kid friendly even though it's a bar ????. Then had a trivia night going on the night we went great. We hung out on the dining/ game room side. They even have a full size ping pong table.

Love Thursday is great trivia game. Plus it's FREE

Not a bad spot. Almost all of the games were working and it wasn't too crowded so we were able to play everything we wanted. Sat down for some beer and wings. Our server was very nice, but the wings were insanely salty. I understand you wanna sell more beer but come on

This place is amazing! If you have kids and want to feel welcome, this is it. I hosted 3 couples with kids ages 18 months to 4 years for a meet and greet (I'm their realtor. Couples who work primarily from home need friends.) The parents AND the kids had a blast. Shout out to manager Zach, server Nolan, and host Dailyn. Thank you for making everything perfect. The other customers were wonderful too.

They make you feel like you don't belong. Very rude. Sat down and didn't even give us a minute to look at drink menu. Asked for some time and they came back within less then a minute only one person got to look at menu. Kept rushing us. Then immediately came back for food order. Brought food out and didn't see waiter until we were almost finished eating. Unlike the photos they didn't even have one pinball machine. At least the chicken tasted good. I rarely leave bad reviews and understand some places are un

G75?s boneless Tai chili wings are the best boneless wings in Chucktown. For dry rub fans, go with the lemon pepper flavor. You're welcome

Stay away from the Ribeye steak. 65% of the steak was fat and gristle the rest was just ok. Showed the waitress, manager took 5% which was $5.44 off the bill just unacceptable shouldn't have paid for the steak. Kids enjoyed the arcade and the Waitress was good and food came out quick.

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.”

Are pool tables in arcades still good in this modern age?

Yes, pool tables in arcades remain a fantastic draw in 2025! Games like 8-ball or 9-ball offer tactile, skill-based fun that blends strategy and precision. Modern tables feature smooth felt, responsive cues, and vibrant designs, enhancing the classic experience. Arcades foster a social vibe with casual matches or competitive tournaments, appealing to all skill levels. Unlike digital games, pool’s physicality—lining up shots, feeling the cue’s weight—keeps it timeless.
