Was looking for something for the kids to do when not at the beach and was glad they had an arcade near by. Just like any arcade, they can get pretty pricey and can reel you in for more tokens because they can run out pretty quick. The main thing is, the kids had a great time. The prizes could be better though since they look cheap and obviously bought in bulk. read more

Nice played cost about $1-$2 to play each game. Staff was nice, hope to return again. We drive from fort Morgan to these one. read more

Many games were glitchy, resulting in losing credits, and you don't get all the credits the games say you are getting. My daughter won a jackpot on a game that was supposed to be 5,155 points. They only gave her credit for 2,000. The other child with us only got credit for the 1,000 point ball and the rings she had, so only physical proof of points. There were no points on the actual card although she actually won over 1,500 points on the card. The poor teens working the counter were mortified when I expressed my irritation over the disparity. I felt bad for the kids since they had already started selecting their prizes based on what they actually won and now weren't able to get. read more

Great games! of course a few are rigged but they're still good. worker Olivia helped was very nice when I held up the line because I had 16,000 tickets read more

We went on a rainy day so it was packed which was understandable. Looks a lot bigger on the outside. 95% of the games there were ticket games and not arcade games. So if you're looking for an arcade, this is wrong place. Anyways, so you get game cards, but quite a few of the games were having card reading issues. We all know how claw machines work, but some of them they had the claw pressure turned so far down on some that you would have it perfect but it wouldn't even move the item. Some would pick the item up and would just fall out. They made the winning percentage literally zero which is a rip-off. There were a couple you could actually win, but really wasn't much. The kids had fun at least. They had decent prizes too. read more

While in town, I decided to hit an arcade to kill some time. Ended up showing up about an hour before they closed. I ended up buying more credits than I could finish in an hour. Was this the most fantastic arcade center I have ever been to? Not at all. What I did love about tAhis place was that it was smaller and more intimate. It seemed like it is a family-run operation because even though they had closed, they allowed us to stay inside and finish our games. Also, what was really amazing is that they do not kill you on the price/credit of the games. By how it was priced, it was more geared to a family type of environment where the establishment wants to keep a family longer inside of there. Even though it is small, I would still go back. read more

Almost all the games were working this year, it seemed cleaner and they had several attendants working. Kids had a great time!!

Small and crowded. Prize selection was good. Drop your $100 and get you some plastic trinkets.

Clean - nice - machines well maintained- great to entertain kids and adults on a rainy day ! We all had fun ! read more

Fat Daddy's Arcade - Arcades Near Me - Orange Beach, Alabama

First of all, a lot of the games were not working correctly. The games took ALOT of our tickets. Secondly, the staff were very rude and unprofessional. They had the attitude of "i don't want to be here." As we were collecting our tickets, someone from our party left to go get the last collectible card that we needed to get the bonus of 5,000 tickets and when we got up to the counter, the lady was like "we can't do that" in the rudest way possible. Hands down one of the worst arcades i've been to. I know your job might be not that great but at least fake it till you make it and not be rude to customers so they won't leave you a bad review like this! read more

If there was an option to do zero stars, I would do zero stars. Every claw machine is red, but these claw machines are ridiculously rigged. I watched person after person, go up to these machines every single person would lift it the prize, and it would fall right before it went into the bin. Complete waste of time read more

The kids had fun here but it was very crowded. It was raining and a holiday week so it was to be expected. Spent $160 in a matter of two hours. But they went home with some cool prizes. read more

Our kids are 3 & 5 years old and didn't think the games were geared for that age group.

Pretty fun place! Not the cheapest, but had good prizes! Claw machines were rigged, but that's how most of them are! One bad part is that there wasn't many game games, that you play. More then half seemed to be claw machines and cut the rope games. Overall fun, music was pretty quiet, sensory friendly! read more

We stayed indoors Bc of the heat (there's putt putt and rides outside). My 4 yo and husband enjoyed the arcades. You do need cash dollar bills and you get a play card insert into the machines to play. Sanitizers everywhere. Masks required but not enforced. The tickets are not printed but applied directly onto the card which is very convenient. Staff are friendly. Not as much games as adventure Island but still fun. read more

Fun place to hangout A bit pricey for games feel like they are a little rigged because we spent about 100 dollars and only won 1 Beenie boo but pretty good doesn't hand out many tickets read more

I may never know how they ended up calling this place Fat Daddy's Arcade. It's a nice decent arcade to chill and have fun with your friends while on vacation. The place is large enough to accommodate the crowd, but I would suggest coming here on there slow day so you can manage to play without anyone hogging up the arcade games. They serve food and hosts birthday celebration for anyone that's looking to booked a special event. I was trying to win a bucket of 5 thousand tickets by playing the crane machine, but after 5 attempts, I was unsuccessful in attempt to retrieve the bucket. Make sure you know when to stop playing because it's just like being at a casino. read more

Restaurant is closed completely so don't go hungry. Many games weren't working and the variety wasn't good. The Track is their sister arcade in Gulf Shores and it's way better. read more

nice and clean! it's never too crowded either. everything is kept updated and in working order. the girls working there are very polite and seem to be happy working there too. just a really fun environment to be in. I can't get over how clean the arcade is every time I've been! read more

Best experience! The attendants were friendly and the games were mostly working. We spent 2 hours here and all gad a great time. 2 of us in our 30's and 1 - 5 yr old. :) highly recommended!! We live an hour away and will be back. read more

We won all the wizard of Oz cards. They would not honor them because we swiped out player card to soon. Even though we had all the cards as proof. So we lost out on 5,000 points. They basically told us oh well. We had three young kids they were sharing the points and spent a lot of money in there. read more

Cool arcade in Orange beach. Kids had a ball. They have a decent deal for tokens if you Put a $20 in there. Place was clean and well staffed. Good fun place with lots of those stupid ticket machines for crap that the kids love! Lol. read more

$40 worth of tokens gave us about 2 hours of play time. Yes, most of the games are 4 tokens each, but $20 gets you 100 tokens. There are a couple of older games in the back (Ms. Pac man, for example) that require just 2 tokens to play. We felt a little silly at first being 2 adults at an arcade with no children in tow. We were surprised to see there were others inside just like us. This place wasn't overrun with wild, screaming children. There were plenty of games available to play and no wait time. This might not be the case during peak season, but for a Tuesday afternoon around 2pm, it was great! read more

Took the family there for some fun, my kids loved it most of the games only cost $1, only a few games were 1.5 or $2. Kids had a blast that's what it's all about making memories that last a lifetime. read more

It's a nice little place to kill time. Mostly ticket / chance based games with a few shooting and racing games mixed in. Younger kids would have fun since it's a scaled down Chuck E. Cheese type place. It's on the pricier side too. read more

Good games it is fun for as long as you're there can't say anything for the food as I didn't get any

We have been here multiple times on multiple trips. It is a bit expensive, but I can understand why - this place is large and overhead can't be cheap where it is located. It is always clean and well staffed - although they at times need more people working the ticket redemption counter, and a few games are always broken. But definitely a fun place for all ages! read more

We did not enjoy this place. Several of the games took double, even triple the price it was supposed to. It was running our cards multiple times and only letting us play once. We weren't impressed by the snack bar or he workers. We will not be back. read more

Fun, OG style arcade to entertain the kiddies both young and old! Arcade pac man and skee ball are great!

My husband and I spent about 75$ for 90min if fun. Loved that arcades put your coins on cards now. We won some cool toys for our boys. Games were on a variety of levels. Putting 4 stars because staff didn't act like they wanted to be there. Very whatever attitudes. Otherwise a great place. read more

Please read before you go. Back story - this arcade was literally our favorite place to go in 2017. Reasonable priced, loads of fun. You got coins and tickets. $20.00 lasted a good while Fast forward to today, 2019 - We planned on coming here a few times while on vacation. We went last night with the same expectations, but were severely let down. I'm not sure if ownership changed or what. No more coins or tickets. Everything is on a card (not necessarily a bad thing). The environment and mood is completely different. Not many people are there playing. Here is the kicker, $20.00 will literally last you 10-20 minutes. Most everything is $1.00. We couldn't stay very long, because prices are so high. We left with my little boy crying.. read more

Biggest waste of money.. My family and I went here hoping for a good time; instead we left 10$ short with unhappy little kids. Mostly everything is 1 dollar and the iron claw machines are RIGGED. I saw over 10 people pick something up and as soon as it was up the claw open and dropped it. The prizes are very bad.. like VERY BAD. you have to have over 2000 tickets to get something remotely nice and by that maybe a little action figure. The arcade to the left of them in the back is much better for children and adults. read more

We were here on vacation and decided to take our kiddos here one night after dinner. It's an okay place to go but I've definitely been to better arcades. I do like that everything is electronic, like tokens on your gamecard as well as the tickets that are won. I didn't like that most-if not all- of the claw machines didn't close down like they should've or popped back open at the last second. The workers also seemed too ready to be done helping your child with their winnings. I mean, come'on, I'm sure it's exhausting waiting on little ones to choose, but they also need to remember that to a child it's probably incredibly hard to choose from EVERYTHING in front of them. read more

People here weren't really helpful, we tried to understand the race tracks and the lady giving us our tickets didn't help at all.

We arrived at 700 and they already closed down the Kiosk so my children could not buy coins to play By the way they close at 800 on a Saturday night! Terrible management if you ask me!!!! read more

My wife and I stopped by on a rainy day during our vacation. This place was packed! Promising as it was, the arcade lacked enough variety to be enjoyable for more than 30 minutes. A trip here beats staying in the hotel room, if you have the extra cash, but those 30 minutes of fun will cost you about $20 per person. read more

Ordered our points online ahead of time, A lot of games however a third of them where out of order which was a disappointment. Plus no snacks at all, its advertised on the main street facing billboard too. We did have a good time. Some of the employees seemed too busy with other stuff at times, so not sure customer service was the greatest. We did win a yeti and scored a lot of tickets, we where visiting for my brothers birthday. I have had better experiences at other places though maybe they will get the games working correctly we dropped $200 to go play, not completely disappointed but I have had better experience. read more

Biggest waste of money you can buy. Spent $30 in 20 minutes for nothing to show. Most of the machines are rigged to make you lose or give you little to no tickets even though each machine costs around $1 per use read more

Great arcade! We took our kids, a boy age 9 & a girl age 7, and they had a blast. They have a large selection of games and we loved the newer stuff (Temple Run, a large touch screen Fruit Slice, Doodle Jump, etc.) We also had fun with the huge digital Connect 4. All in all a great time! read more

So disappointed. We always spend a few hours here each beach trip but will probably not go back. A LOT of the games were out of order and the place was not very clean. Waste of time read more
