    Came to Happy Claw Arcade for funsies and to check out a "third place" that's few and far between in the town of Turlock. It was the perfect place to spend an hour (or two)! Located off the intersection of Golden Gate Blvd. and W Hawkeye, Happy Claw Arcade is one of the rare claw machine places that have begun populating the 209. The interior is beaming with neon lights, a huge anime mural takes up one side of the wall, and gigantic plushies line the other side. It's also pretty spacious and doesn't feel claustrophobic. There is a variety of claw games and gacha machines. We spent $20 for 23 coins and were able to win a few plushies and get that dopamine hit every time we snagged another. This arcade actually lets you trade in plushies you've won with almost any other plushie you see in another machine. We were able to do this with a bee for a capybara. :) The owners were SUPER nice and told us they were actually originally from Vegas (where claw machine arcades were heavily concentrated) and wanted to bring a bit of Vegas to Turlock. So cool. Definitely going to check them out again and will recommend to friends visiting to do the same!

    We saw this place randomly appear a few weeks back, but it wasn't open yet. I looked them up on social media and found info. Yesterday was their soft opening. I scooped up my girls and we headed over. It wasn't busy at all. You buy tokens and then each machine is 1 token. We did $100, so 135 tokens. There are also some machines that take 4 tokens and you can get a figurine and you recycle the ball for 1 token. I think we won 21 or 22 plushies! They also have a counter where you can upgrade your winnings into bigger prizes. I want to say it started at 8 to upgrade. We decided to keep all our little friends. Just know, upgrades can only be done same day only. We had a lot of fun and will be coming back soon! The owners were so friendly!

    We've been to Happy Claw twice now, once for the Hello Kitty collaboration on January 12, 2025, and again for the Pokémon collaboration on March 30, 2025. Both times were so much fun! The prizes are super cute, and it feels like a fun gambling experience for kids. The atmosphere is lively, and the staff is friendly. We can't wait to come back for more exciting collaborations!

    We had a great time here with our toddler. Jenn and Leon are wonderful owners and we can't wait to come back to support them again. We bought $50 of tokens and it lasted us over an hour. The space is extremely clean and there is a ton of parking outside. I highly recommend Mom's to host their birthday parties here. I definitely will tell all our friends! 5 stars for Sure!!

I spoke with Sarb, and he was very helpful. He told me they still had availability for our event, which was a relief. What impressed me the most was that they offered us time to set up before the event started. When we arrived, the place was clean and ready, making it easy to get everything organized. Since we were working with kids, we didn't use the throwing axe area, but we did enjoy some exciting laser tag. you could bring your own water and cake or cupcakes, but you needed to buy your food from them. They used Mountain Mike's pizza for food orders, which was located off Robinhood. There was a bit of confusion among the workers because some understood the rules differently than others. However, I decided to stay patient and ask questions until I got clear answers. After discussing it, everything worked out well for me. My food arrived exactly on time, just like I had requested. The laser tag room was amazing! It had two stories and was really well put together. Honestly, I can't explain how fun it was--you just have to see it for yourself! The kids had a blast playing there, and believe me, it's definitely a workout! They got to play four different games, so there was always something new to try. When you first arrive, you need to sign some waivers and set up your account. They take a picture of you, which goes up on a big screen at the end of your game, showing your score. Everyone was excited to see who had the most points! The atmosphere was lively, and everyone was laughing and cheering. It was a great way to spend the day, and I can't wait to go back again. If you're looking for fun and excitement, this place is a must-visit!

We had one of the most attentive, friendly, and genuinely kind servers we've ever had. Huge shoutout to Cliff! This guy works his butt off and somehow still manages to make every guest feel important. He was constantly checking on us, making sure we had everything we needed, and did it all with a great attitude and a smile. My boyfriend and I live across the street, and now we're half-joking that we need his schedule so we can plan our visits around when he's working! That's the kind of impression he left on us. Cliff is the definition of excellent customer service, and he turned what would have been an ordinary visit into a great experience. Dave & Buster's, take care of this guy--employees like Cliff are the reason people come back!

The slushie machine was all watery syrup. The vanilla & chocolate ice cream was also watery. My niece and granddaughter both went to make an ice cream cone, only to have their clothing sprayed by the machine. No cups were clean for drink machines and there was no ice in the machine. When i spoke with the manager on shift of all the food buffet issues, she said we are working on it. For the amount of money families spend for their child to have fun or a great bday, this issues should be addressed immediately. I can understand one issue but several all at once is a lack of management and operations. Noone apologized or even acknowledged the complaints. There were several upset customers. Arcade area was poorly ran. The hosts were rude and impatient with the kids. We paid for the laser tag to be part of the bday package. Yet we were unable to get anyone to open it up. We waited for an attendant to come and no one showed up. The reason...they were short staffed and are doing their best to open each ride as it permits. We should've been refunded. District manager really needs to pop in and see how this place is ran.
