Customer Reviews

I had such a great time at Lucky Pups! The arcade is super fun, and the claw machines are well-stocked with awesome prizes. The guys running it were incredibly helpful and patient, making the experience even better. Whether you're a claw machine pro or just trying your luck, this place is a blast. Highly recommend checking it out!

My kids loved this place. It was super cute and easy. The employees help you with everything and they are very generous with the coins!!! We spent five dollars and they ended up giving us five dollars in coins free because my daughters struggled with the joystick Double tap motion. We will definitely stop in again. The pictures are cuter than can be!! Thank you, LUCKY PUPS!!

I don't know what happened to my last review! But this is by far our favorite claw machine business to go to. A lot of it is because the owners are so incredibly nice, the place is kid friendly, and they have the BEST prizes. Other claw machine business don't have crazy incentive for me unless the folks happen to be super cute? but this place has pokemon cards you can get as trade-ins. Highly recommend, it's one of our favorite family spots to go too!! Thank you to the owners who always give our kiddos a g

Definitely recommend this place. Prizes are more attainable than other claw machine places. They have really cool prizes in the machines and prizes that you can trade in for. Staff was beyond accommodating and really nice. I don't have to get my daughter any Christmas gifts this year ??

Lucky Pups is a new claw machine business on Long Point and definitely worth checking out. They are extremely kid friendly with plenty of chances to win and the staff is really friendly and helpful. I'll definitely be back in the near future.

I recently visited this amazing spot, and I'm beyond impressed! The plushies here are absolutely adorable, and the best part is how easy they are to win. For just $20, I was able to fill two big bags with the cutest plushies, way more than I expected! tThe staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, adding to the overall positive vibe. If you're a plushie lover like me, this is definitely the place to go. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a fun, affordable way to score some cuddly prizes!

Great vibes and machines! Everyone was so friendly and helpful! It was so clean and the stuffed animals were so fluffy. High quality stuffed toys, and it had a cute toy duck machine!

What a fun spot! Came in on a weekend afternoon and it wasn't too busy. Staff is so friendly/helpful upon walking in (and are always around if you need help - many offered adjustments / tips). Lots of machines for play and love that you can trade in stuffies for prizes (which are great value themselves) and the space inside is great. Bonus: plenty of free parking and well lit / clean space :)

Cool little spit on Long point. In a shopping plaza. Love that they give you a bag for your stuffies. Lots of people were winning but not me. Maybe next time. No food or drink but maybe a food truck will be there.

Amazing crew! Makes sure you win and leave with something at the end of the day! Prizes are ELITE & LEGIT! I can't fathom enough how amazing this place is in the world of all Houston claw machines. Definitely give this place a visit and get yourselves amazing prizes!!!

We came for my son?s 6th birthday and did not expect to have so much fun! The space is perfect for a family and we were not at all crowded. My children all had a blast and each caught a plushie or two. I love that my 6 year old was able to get a few too on his own. The STAFF is so friendly and yet professional. My son eventually started to crash out from all the excitement and they were so kind and helpful. Thank you all for your patience with my toddler and son. We hope to come back again!

This place is super clean, and the plushies are absolutely adorable! The staff are friendly and attentive, which makes the experience even better. It's definitely worth the time and money for both kids and adults. I've noticed more claw machine arcades popping up around Houston, especially in Bellaire and Katy, so I'm happy to see one open in Spring Branch. Great addition to the area!

My daughter and I had a great time. The machines, prizes, staff were all amazing. One of the better claw arcades. The staff are super helpful & kind. I brought Pok?mon cards here too! ??

This is our favorite claw arcade in Houston hands down. We have been to all of them. One of the easier claw arcade to win prizes. The trade up prizes accommedate to mostly everyone?s taste. The staffs are very friendly and helpful. Overall, my kids and I will definately be returning again!!

Super cute place!! A lot of fun to come with friends and you actually win stuff! Employees are super nice and give you tips on how to win.

This place is awesome! Great staff that is super friendly. They saw my four year old son enjoying one of the games so much that they gave him a few extra tokens to play! They have the best rate at 1 coin per game ($1/coin) especially compared to places in Katy Asia town or Bellaire which are typically 2-3 coins per play. Also I'm going to be a little biased here on current trends but they have Pokemon cards as large prize items (blister/booster packs as well as boxes) that you can trade one stuffy per point

This one is really good. It's astonishing how high the payout rate is. The staff is also super friendly and helpful. Out of all of the claw arcades I've been to, this is the only one where the staff actually let me know that the machines had the second press feature.

Best claw machine arcade in town! The owners are so kind and the space is fun and bright. Fun for kids and adults! They even help reorganize the stuffed animals when they're not properly placed to help you get it.

Checked out this crane game arcade arcade because it's right next to my house. The workers were so friendly and I got a ton of prizes. The plushies are soft and most of them are cute (perfect mix of cute and/or tradable). They also refill the machines very often! The workers are always receptive to helping you fluff up the machine to make it easier to win the prizes you want. If you've ever felt discouraged after leaving a claw game arcade because you felt you got didn't have luck or skill on your side, I

Such a great place!!! We spent an hour here and won a lot of toys!

The CUTEST selection of prizes and plushies. Friends were in Houston this weekend and wanted to check out a new claw machine arcade spot ? exceeded my expectations!!! We all walked away with a bunch of items, including these cute Miffy and Mofusand keychains for our bags hehe

The girls had a fun winning all the stuff animals. Staff were very friendly!!! They had a lot of stuff animals the girls really liked. Definitely will come back!

Andrews the best. He is so helpful and this is a super cool claw machine location in spring branch. Open late night and great music! Rikki's also super helpful and great!

Sooo cute love the vibe and it's very cheap! Employees are sweet and have good energy super cute plushies as well!!

Amazing place! So many ways to when they are super friendly and will help you out to ensure that you win! Right around the corner from the house will definitely be coming back with friends and family!

Went for Father's Day and lets just say Father was very happy ha ha!!! Adorable and fun place.

This place is so awesome. My 7 yr old and I had a blast. Staff is welcoming and the place is clean, bright & fun

The staff were super friendly and very nice. They made sure we understood how to play and get prizes. The prizes themselves were really good value, and they had one that my wife really wanted. I will definitely come back with my friends again. If anything give them a try!

This place is wonderful. My daughter loves to come here. It is clean and the staff is friendly. Lots of fun

One of the best places win a high win rate (we got 40 trade ins for $100). Their trade in prices are very reasonable especially if you're a Pokemon card collector. Their plushies are super cute too! Ask the staff if you need them to refluff the machines.

Absolutely worth it!! Me and a friend saw this grand opening and planned a day around going. The staff was super informative about what they're about. Moved plushies around when they were too buried in place, and they have such a cool system where each doll you dont want earns you a point and their prize wall is so cool! If i didnt promise my coworkers that i'd bring my winnings to work for them all to get a plush i would have cashed in for a huge prize that they have displayed around the store! I will 100

Staffs are friendly. Good place to hang out. We really had a lot of fun

This place is awesome! A great variety of plushes and the shop is a fun idea. Definitely worth checking out!

I write this as a parent: this is our favorite place in town! Great selection but the best part is how kind and helpful the staff is. When my girls would miss a few tries in a machine they would come with ideas to help them out. Thank you!

Great place! You will win for sure! Staff was great!

5 Stars! We had such a great time at Lucky Pups Claw Arcade, which just opened yesterday on Long Point in the heart of Spring Branch! The arcade is clean, inviting, and filled with a great selection of claw machines, all just one token per play?so the fun adds up fast without breaking the bank. The staff is incredibly friendly, and we even got to meet the owners, who were so welcoming and genuinely engaged with customers. You can tell they put a lot of heart into this place. We're excited to have this fun n

Dropped in for their Grand Opening and the staff is so welcoming. Great selection and fun environment!

Fun experience. My daughter and I had a good time playing the claw machines. She even won on the marble drop

The kids had a blast! The staff was super friendly and helpful. We will be back!

The staff here are super nice and kinda and so welcoming :p They refluff the prizes and walk around and give you tips on how to play better <3 Very cool place ^-^

Such a fun spot! The claw machines were affordable to play and super entertaining. Great place to hang out and try your luck without breaking the bank. Definitely coming back!

AWESOME SERVICE! Came to being my son for his Honor Roll award & upon walking in the staff greeted us wholeheartedly & made this experience for my son & I ONE OF THE BEST I HAVE EVER HAD! Will be coming more often because of my first experience here!

This place was so fun!! We spent $50 dollars to get 65 coins and we got over 25 plushies! The wins are very easy to get and the workers are quite helpful with helping you.

This place is the real deal. The staff WANTS you to win and they are so friendly!! The machines have good grip and don't feel janky or rigged! Totally worth it 10/10! Also it's just such a good atmosphere in there you have to experience it for yourself.

Great cute little claw machine place. Very friendly staff, can trade some of your winning plushies for bigger prizes. Machines were all one token. I definitely would recommend this place. my nieces and nephews had fun and loved it because they actually all won something. It's new so it wasn't too crowded

Staff was super friendly and helpful will definitely come back to this location and the prizes are pretty different

My son and I stopped by unexpectedly today for the first time. We love arcade claw games and this is the perfect spot and we went at the right time! It wasn't too packed & they let us have our puppy with us. They even moved a few of the stuffies for my son! 10/10 great vibes and prices.

Super fun place! The staff were friendly and cool!

Very cute friendly place! Highly recommend asking the employees for tips on how to get the stuffed animals :)

The staff here are super attentive and great! We won lots of plushies and their selection is great. The point trade in system is also great since you get to trade in plushies you might not want.

We had so much fun! Great prizes and trade ups

Such a fun place to play! My kids had a blast!

Super fun spot! Tons of claw machines with great prizes, fair chances to win, and an awesome vibe. Perfect for a quick visit or an all-out claw battle. Highly recommend!

This was our first time and it was such a fun experience. The machines are well stocked and the staff is Incredibly nice. We will definitely be coming back.

Honestly the best luck I've ever had at any claw machine place. Staff is so kind and accommodating. Such a fun time, I will definitely be back!

Had a chance to visit the newest Claw Machine Arcade in Houston, located in Spring Branch. They have some of the highest quality plushies and a wide selection of blind boxes to win - we were even able to win a Labubu (real by the way)!! The staff was super friendly and helpful, moving the plushies around when the machine was too crowded and also offered free tokens. They also had so many different prizes to trade up for including Pokemon!! Will definitely be back soon with more friends and family because I

Lucky pups is very fun! Nice plushies! If you are Pokemon fanatic, you can redeem your points for pokemon cards for reasonable point conversion :)

very friendly staff that show how some games work. also the prizes are pretty cheap for a good amount of coins. prize points are also low and no worries about having an odd amount of points.

The machines were very well stocked and the workers were also very friendly and they can even move the stuff around for something you really want to get. The claw machine also wasn't rigged and you can get a lot of prizes.

They're very Friendly and even helped us rearrange the Psyduck! I love how you can redeem the plushies that are won for other items on the shelf.

So many cute plushies and the token system is pretty fair/affordable. We popped in after a wine hangout and it was so much fun!

Staff are super friendly and helpful with teaching us the ropes!

Fun and entertaining for everyone ! Great place to come with the family

Really fun! Now one of my fave claw places. I opened a blind box and they let me trade with the blind box that was already open!

This place is so friendly, I highly recommend coming here for plushies. All they need is snacks and drinks & I'm sure everyone would be coming here

Very friendly staff, awesome selection and very clean. 10/10

This place is new, but it's so fun! I've been to several claw places in town and, by far, this place is the best one. Really great value!

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.”
