    Arcade games
    Van T.

    Very fun place with retro games and plenty of pinball machines. I had fun they offered veterans discount too for under $10 you can have a whole day of fun. They also have tons of beer.

    A nice throwback arcade. It's a bit small and although you get a lot of bang for your buck with $13 of free play (pay at entry), I can't imagine being there all night. I'm also not a gamer, though. It still is a great outing for an hour or two that is affordable. They have a full bar and food menu. I didn't eat, but the drinks were affordable. There aren't many places to sit or put drinks down around the games, which makes it a lil tight but they do have a main seating area. It's located in a small.shoppimg center, if you aren't looking for it, you'd probably miss it. The staff stayed very busy with the constant foot traffic but were very friendly.

    Top score! Nice arcade, plenty of room, and machines in great working order.

    There are 4 Free Play Arcades around the Dallas,TX Metro area, each are a bit different in size & setting, but roomy enough to say "large arcade". These all have full service bars, but will admit kids with their parents until 9PM. Standard all-day wristband pass paid admission. All the classic cabinet games from the 1980's are here, then newer types of games that were popular in 90's to Y2K. Internet games also available. Plenty of tables & seats with room for strollers or wheelchairs. Pinball alley has 10 decent machines, not too old, nor the newest. Staff is welcoming & helpful. Restrooms kept clean. Parking is right in front in this older mall building. My highest Q-bert score has been 143K, this night I booked 102K. My quest for 200K is my Nirvana... The Asteroids Deluxe game functions very well, but I like original Asteroids game better. Try this easy going Free Play, the local crowd is courteous & chill. Bonus round: a giant old school KFC is nearby, with a massive indoor lobby, and a history storyboard wall exhibit. Not many of these left.

    Fun environment. The games are old but they have kept them in good working shape. The price is not bad at all either. The food wasn't the best I've ever had and the pizza was a lot smaller than I would have expected. But at $10 it's not terrible. Fanta, retro games, good company? What more could ya ask for? I have been to this location and the one in Fort Worth. I personally think the Fort Worth Location is better though. Seemed a tad bigger with a better selection of games.

My friends took me here for my 60th birthday!! Outside of the perfect steaks and stellar service (a great big thank you to Brad our amazing waiter), the music stole the show!! They have this insanely talented musician who performs Friday and Saturday nights starting at 6:30 PM .. he literally has his stage on a landing pad halfway up the staircase with his own little music kingdom. One guy. Several instruments. Electric guitar and saxophone were played effortlessly. You can make requests, which adds to the fun! For example, "Sweet Caroline" was a song that everyone sang along throughout the restaurant lol. Then came something I didn't expect. This musician has made it his personal mission to play our National Anthem on Fridays and Saturdays 7pm sharp. Everyone naturally stood -up, the whole room joined in, hand over their hearts, so much patriotic passion and energy. It was truly beautiful to see people come together in that moment. And just when I thought the night couldn't get better, out came a birthday dessert .. a warm homemade cookie with ice cream and a real sparkler. It was a show stopper!! I haven't seen a sparkler since I was ten lol. Apparently, birthdays are a big deal here, because it felt like every table around us had their own sparkler birthday/ anniversary moment. It was hilarious ... and I loved it! If you're looking for a memorable experience or just a relaxing delicious meal, nothing compares to Texas y'all. TIP: they have valet parking! TIP: they take reservations!

I got the rack of lamb with whipped potatoes and roasted vegetables. The lamb chop came with 4 pieces and was grilled to a delicious medium rare.

We've been to other RG locations and this was similar to those. It wasn't overly busy, so we were promptly helped. We started with the $6 HH special, Rattlesnake, which is a frozen marg with sangria swirl. It was heavenly! And at $6, sign me up for two! The burgers were as expected, fantastic. The ranch house was impeccable with that bacon/onion jam. Wish I had another. The fries, both sweet potato and regular were quite crispy and seasoned well. This is a burger place that has quite a selection to choose from and the food is quality.

The atmosphere is super laid back and casual, which we liked--but just a heads up, this isn't the place to go if you're in a hurry. They definitely take their time. There's a ton of seating both inside and outside, and the space itself is pretty fun. The decor is entertaining and they even have some little games around, which adds to the vibe. Everything felt clean--the tables were well taken care of and the bathrooms were spotless. As for food, we ordered the Blue Goat, the H.L. Hunt, the Royale with Cheese, and the cheese fries (No Surprise). I had the Blue Goat (no onions). It was good overall, though I wish the blue cheese flavor was a bit stronger. My husband got the H.L. Hunt and really enjoyed the candied bacon. Our son had the Royale with Cheese and it filled him up so much that he didn't even touch fries--and he loves fries, so that says a lot. Speaking of fries, the order was HUGE--easily enough for 5-6 people. If we come back, I'd definitely dig into those first while the cheese is still warm and gooey. By the time we got to them after our burgers, everything had kind of stuck together. Overall, a fun, casual spot with solid burgers and massive portions--just plan for a slower-paced experience.
