I love this place! When in a small town there aren't a lot of choices for food. This place has burgers and sandwiches, fried shrimp, fresh cut fries, onion rings, tater tots and so much more. They even have root beer floats!! I've had almost everything on the menu and all of it has been delicious. It's a great place to take kids. They have all kinds of video games to keep them busy or to play with them. Great family place!
Loved this joint. Placed our order, grabbed a beer and started playing video games. I got the Johnny apple seed burger and the wife got the mushroom swiss burger. Both of which were freaking awesome. Well worth checking this place out.
The burgers were amazing. Service was great. The atmosphere will take you back to the 70's-90's Arcade feel. This is the only place we've found in awhile that still accepts quarters for the machines as well. We got the big dill burger and the cowboy burger. Both were top notch. The fries and onion rings are fantastic!
Super bowl Sunday free arcade games guitar hero!, mortal kombat, Mario bros, ribeye sandwich, cowboy burger,tater tots come on hands down best super bowl spot 2025!
The first time I came here was for a birthday party, it was amazing. Staff where so nice and responsive, and was such a great experience that I decided to have my sons birthday party here as well. I was not let down at all! The price for the birthday rental is very fair, staff here are so great. I can't recommend this place enough!
The staff was friendly, entertaining and the food was fresh cooked and awesome!!! You have to try the fresh cut fries!!!!! The wings are good too. The only thing I wasn't happy with was not their fault. The guy on guitar hero was playing all metal. It was way too loud!!! We will be back. Maybe the guy won't be there. Lol
This place is phenomenal!! Some of the best food I've had in a long time cooked fresh to order!! I haven't played some of these games since I was a kid which always great!! Definitely recommend ????
I remember when video arcades first came out. I would spend ALL of my lunch money at our local arcade. This place has the. cool ne pinball machines and the retro video games. They got the coo l new stuff too like Guitar Hero and Dance Revolution. They also have fantastic food like smoothed burgers, fries, onion rings and root beer! Come on in to play games or stop on for a bite. A good time is guaranteed for all.

AMAZING experience! We rented the place out for 2 hours for a 13th birthday party. Staff was so kind, Aaron even put our kiddo?s initial on each side of a 16x16 Rubik?s cube. We will absolutely be back!
Are you kidding me?Everything is hot, fresh delicious when worthy of a visit again, and again. They have coin operated video games as well as a coin operated jubox, fresh cold beer and even a super idios that you can play for free if you're up for the challenge.
I ordered a Phili cheesesteak with onion rings, and a diet Pepsis. They were out of onion rings so I got fries instead. This was a to go order. My bun was burnt, and the fries were soggy and to top it off the soda was flat. I will not be going back, oh and it was 12.99 for the meal and the burnt sub was only six inches.
Fun atmosphere, not over priced, friendly, good food, cool Old school arcade.
I have been following this place since they opened and finally took time to go check it out. The food was amazing and they had some awesome classic games definitely worth the drive out. It's nice to see something fun like this for the people who don't live in town. The owner and staff were all very welcoming and friendly. I even got a fun lesson and how to solve a Rubiks cube. Don't let the location for you. Great food at a great price don't sleep on this place.
Just went for the first time which was enough for me. Order several different items and the food was just not edible. Hamburger was smashed so thin that made it super dry, fries were mushy, pizza was nothing special, would not recommend
Awesome atmosphere. Really great food. Real burgers, home cut fries. Delicious
Great food good fun just needs to be bigger more space it does get busy but it's worth it ! Would recommend !
Highly recommended! We always stop for lunch or dinner on the way to the boat. Great food & fun!
Cowboy burger and pulled pork sliders are great. We'd get both again. Onion rings were a stand out. Some of the best I've ever had. Fries got floppy in the car ride back.
Had the pulled pork sandwich, it was delicious. Had an 80s type atmosphere with some video games I played when I was a kid.
Food is amazing. Service is great; very easy to talk to and order. Very fun atmosphere.
What a Awesome Locally owned Small Business Food Service and the games where very Cool Stop by and try them out
Super fun bday party, great service, awesome vintage arcade games.
The food is good, the atmosphere is fun, but they did forget my dessert, which is the only reason i gave a 4 on service. My son and I played some of their arcade games while we waited on our togo food. When I got home, I noticed they had forgotten my dessert, they are fixing the situation now. My son's pizza looks good and like you would get it from a pizza shop. I got the jalape?o popper burger that was probably one of the most delicious burgers I have ever had, and the tater tots remind me old school soni
This place is the bees knees. Wowza. Fun environment, friendly staff, good vibes all around. If you like burgers my oh my! Best burgers in the continental United States (haven't been to Alaska or Hawaii yet but I'll report back). It is SUPREME. I'll pay a visit back soon.
Staff is very friendly. I love arcades. The choices here are alright for the space. The pinball machines are the best things here. There burgers are great. The onion rings are a bit bland, but their fries are amazing.
Honestly the best arcade I've ever been to. The food is AMAZING, the staff are incredibly friendly and approachable. The games are quite fun to play as well. I actually wanna work here with how much I love this place. 10/10
I have passed this place forever, I'm so glad I stopped. The food was amazing and the games were so cool, some I hadn't seen since I was a teen. Awesome place we will be back.
I've visited a few times, the owner and staff are friendly and they keep the place clean. Gets a bit noisy, but you don't go to an arcade to read a book in silence. They boast a nice variety of arcade games to choose from, and they rotate new machines in occasionally so it's always worth checking back in occasionally. More than a business, I feel like family when I visit, and I always feel welcome. I enjoy the atmosphere and the company, and there's always something going on. I try to visit at least once a
Go frequently and consistently there is great food and great fun! They are always adding new foods and new games! The kiddos love it!! The staff is always very nice and helpful. They always have a game(s) on free play as well! Did I mention the food is good?! And there is ice cream ?? the Halloween party was great looking forward to Christmas
Had a great time here at Joysticks. Brought the family for some flash back gaming time. Came back for my little girls birthday party. Turned out great, the staff was warm, and friendly, they also had great food. Great place to come and kick back relax enjoy friends, food, and retro gaming in the arcade fashion. We will definitely be back.
The atmosphere the decor and the games were great. But the food unfortunately needs some work. Our burgers were overcooked and a little dry very thin and fell apart into pieces. The fries you could tell had been sitting for a little while because instead of hot and crispy they were lukewarm and soft. It took quite a while for us to get our food. Only to be disappointed. There seem to be a lot of joking around and cutting up in the cooking area. Maybe they need to pay a little more attention to the cooking p
This place had friendly service and excellent food. This is the second time I've been here. I've ordered something different with my family each time. Alcohol is served( bet and wine only) Everything was fresh and tasted awesome! They have old school arcade games like Ms. PAC Man and they also have dance revolution making this a place for all ages to enjoy! Absolutely awesome place!!
I met up with some old friends at Joysticks almost by accident. We enjoyed catching up while consuming pulled pork tater tots with melted cheese and jalapenos. The food was surprisingly good and there are a bunch of arcade games to keep you busy. And.....if you're lucky...... you'll get to meet a competitive rubics cube expert who works there during the day and teaches international students online in the evening. Great find!
This place is fantastic! It's a really fun place to take the whole family! Tye food is great and holy moly the portions are big! And the mix of old retro and newer arcade games are just icing on the cake! I was very impressed! Only thing missing was the Duck Hunt game ??
Very clean nice family environment. And their food is off the chain. Excellent Atmosphere for me is number one And thank you for having a nice restaurant for us to eat at in fountain.. And I recommend the cubano burger
Awesome game selection, great food, and very friendly workers!
Visited on a Sunday afternoon on the way to PCB. Good choice for a stop with teenage boys. Prices were good - baskets with sandwich, fries and drink for $11-15. The workers were friendly and there was a variety of games - pinball, shooting games, Mortal Kombat, DDR, MarioKart, Guitar Hero, etc.
Excellent time had By all !!!!!
Such good food! Love it!
Hands down best burger!! The fries are hand cut and so tasty! Better than five guys at half the price! IMO

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.”
