On Mondays their drink special is $5 for any draft, what a steal! We all enjoyed a drink and a few games. I love the decor and vibes in Boxcar, the artwork is really punk and cool looking. My favorite game, The Lucky Duck, was broken (the claw wouldn't extend far enough to reach any ducks). I reported this to a staff member and she let me pick out any 2 ducks I wanted! The Pokemon pinball was fun too, I love the variety of pinball machines.

We just held my son's 9th birthday party here this past weekend. This was my son's third time at RU…read morea Gamer. He loved his birthday party. The owner was there and another employee. They were both great with the kids. They helped them get set up on the video games, kept track of what kids were allowed to play what level of games, i.e., E, 10+, T, M, etc. They have a wide variety of games like Kinect Adventures, Kinect sports, Skate games, sports games and shooting games. The chairs that you game in are SUPER comfortable. The place is very clean, nice bathrooms, and good variety of snacks for purchase. I'd say that kids 8+ would have a good time here and I would do parent supervision for the younger crowd probably 8-12. The place is open every day, on Saturday they open at noon and stay open until 4am. Ladies night is Thursday and ladies play free from 6pm until close. I am sure in the evenings it is more of a young adult crowd and probably not kid friendly at all, but the young adult is really their target crowd probably anyway. BUT during the day, it was great for my kid and they really helped make him have a super birthday party. Highly recommend if your kid is into video games. If you are an older teen or young adult, I'd definitely recommend this place as it has tons of copies of most of the popular multi-player games. Open late.

No peppers. No onions. Just salsa & guacamole. The game area was clean, plenty of games. The human claw machine wasn't in operation (on a Saturday?). Cool prizes to redeem your tickets in the prize section.

Has small kitchen for food and drinks( soft drinks and beer). Has sitting area to eat. Small arcade area. The miniature golf course here is so awesome- it is not your average miniature golf course. It has unique chances a long with it- weather throwing balls, , puzzles, coordination, you name it. It even has a small zip line within! Service: everybody was very friendly Price: reasonable. Came here with my son but I enjoyed it more!

From the heart of Raleigh, NC is this unique indoor putt putt course. I was in town for a wedding…read moreand this place was the first activity that populated and I needed to check it out! There are 3 course Yellow, red, and blue. I didn't realize that there were multiple course until half way through the course I was wondering how I get on the indoor bus. Each course had a uniqueness that made it completely different from the other courses. My favorite from Yellow course was the zip line, red course was the slippery floor and the Rocket , and blue course was the bus and pool table. Each course & hole had an activity thaw was an interactive experience. The cost for this activity was $16 for all 3 courses per person, great price for this experience. The staff were friendly and answered all my questions. I didn't eat but definitely bring a water bottle as they have refill station near the bathroom. The bathrooms were clean as well as the inside & on the courses. Employee was dusting the course in between people finishing their shots. The parking lot was huge, so definitely plenty of parking. I had a great time and definitely recommend, if you're looking for a fun, unique activity. Cheers

Frankie's Review - 3/5…read more While in town, we decided to visit Frankie's after it was recommended to me by my boss, and this time I had my husband and 12-year-old son with me. Overall, it was a nice way to spend time together as a family and gave us something fun to do during our visit. Frankie's offers a good variety of attractions, and my son especially enjoyed the rides, including the claw, roller coaster, and zero gravity experience. We also played putt-putt golf, which was enjoyable, though I personally found the course a bit less challenging than similar places I've visited before. The road course was also on the shorter side, but still fun for what it offered. One thing I would note is that the pricing felt a bit high, particularly for the arcade games and rides, especially considering some of the experiences are fairly brief. We also found the pizza to be a little overpriced, so we chose other food options as well as their burger and Philly cheesesteak. Unfortunately, one part of the experience that stood out in a less positive way was the customer service around some of the attractions. Several of the attendants seemed very nonchalant and disengaged, almost as if they were not very happy to be there. That kind of energy can affect the overall atmosphere and, for me, made it less likely that I would return or recommend it. We also had to wait for attendants to assist with some of the more interactive 3D-style games, which interrupted the flow of the experience. That being said, one of my personal favorites ended up being the carnival 3D shooting game, even though we did have to wait for an attendant before we could play. Once we got on, it was definitely one of the more enjoyable parts of the visit for me. On the positive side, it was not crowded during our visit, which made the experience much more relaxed and enjoyable. I especially enjoyed spending time in the arcade with my family, and that ended up being one of the highlights of our visit. I also want to mention our experience in the bar area with Olivia Jackson, who provided such warm and pleasant service. She was courteous, attentive, and truly showed genuine Southern hospitality. Her kindness and professionalism made us want to stay longer, and we ended up enjoying our food and family time even more because of her. She was definitely one of the bright spots of our visit. Overall, while I have visited similar entertainment venues that I personally enjoyed more, Frankie's still provided a decent family outing and a different experience while we were in town. I would rate it 3 out of 5 stars.

Its about 75/hr/lane for 5 people, and I'm pretty sure that the time starts when you pay, so you waste about 10 minutes just getting your shoes on and finding a bowling ball. The people were friendly enough, their shoes will never be stollen (uuuugggglllly, fluorescent green and pink), and fairly busy, which are all positives. There are a nice mix of experienced bowlers and newbs on the weekends, so it won't be too embarrassing if you blow. Do not try to go on a weekday anywhere near league night, they will unapologetically tell you that you are SOL.

With it being a tournament, the lanes were reserved for the college teams but there was plenty of room for all of the players in the bowling area. As I walked around, I was impressed with how large the bowling alley was. The bar area was also a nice size with seating all around it and the arcade area was very spacious, they even had an indoor bumper car area. I noticed two party rooms and I loved how they had an eating area called CJ's Tavern for those that wanted to sit and eat, away from the bowling area. I believe I was most impressed by the robotic machine delivering the food to the guests in the additional bowling area. How cool and innovative! Overall, my daughter and her team did well, along with the other teams and if they have another tournament here, I will gladly return.

Unbelievable how trashy Alamo was between 5-8pm last night. Cinemark has better food, cheaper ticket prices, and cleaner bathrooms.
