We love go karts. We usually get the biggest package and then spend more. Every place in town is excellent, except this one. Some kids were driving rowdy (definitely rammed us),so they stopped the race. Instead of pulling the kids and letting the rest of us finish the last 80 of the ride, they just boned all of us. No apology. No resolution. Just f*ck you, we got your money. Manager defended it, because some people were just raised wrong. Aside from the place being run by thieves, it was a shit hole. I used the men's room twice and the piss on the floor from the first time was covered in vomit the second time. Worst go kart place in Houston, hands down. Go anywhere else.

Came here with my family, my B-I-L, and 3 nephews a couple of weeks ago. First impression was that this place looked a little dated - both on the outside and inside. Biggest positive here is that it's fairly cheap to get into a go cart and a little kid going for the 1st time would get a kick out of it. Such was the case when I drove tandem with my 8-year old nephew who was too short to be allowed to drive a solo cart. If you or anyone else with you has ever experience K-1 or anything of that caliber, then this place will put you to sleep. The carts are not very fast and they don't even give you helmets to wear! Uhhh, "safety first"? Nope, not here. Again, you're not going super fast but one would think that they'd want to minimize any liability. Guess not. On the track, they don't allow any bumping at all. If you do, they will flag you down and tell you to cut it out or tell you to bring your cart in. That's actually smart...especially considering no one wears helmets! The arcade games and such inside are just black holes to suck your money out of your pocket. Didn't even see any really great prizes you can redeem your arcade tickets for. Again, if you don't want to spend a lot of money to take a kid out carting for the 1st time then give this place a whirl. If you like speed, value safety, and visual appeal then this may not be the ideal spot. Kudos though to the friendly staff. The 1st skee ball machine I tried ate up 2 coins and didn't ever start. When I went to the desk to inform them, the staffer didn't even come out to look at it. He just handed me 2 coins as reimbursement. I may come back here with the young 'uns to kill some time on the cheap but that would be about it.

This is a very fun place to visit. It is very family oriented. They have tuns of arcade games. You can win tickets from the games you play that can be used towards prizes! The staff was very friendly and eager to answer any questions. They also have go cart riding witch was very fun. They have hand sanitizer at the entrance. It wasn't too crowded when we went but I'm not sure how it is on other days. Definitely a place I would consider visiting again.

We stopped by on Saturday after a soccer game and the guys at the go-cart track were incredibly nice to my 9 year old. She was a little scared to drive her own go-cart. They offered us to switch to a 2 seater and when she decided to drive her own go-cart, two of the gentlemen working the track went to her and made sure that she was comfortable. I feel they went above and beyond. This is a hopping place! It has multiple tracks and you can buy an hour unlimited rides and skip the line.

Yes the cars are super slow and out dated. I'm not sure if the guy who helped me was high or super sleepy.

I might just have to do a national barcade tour. We were here on Sunday afternoon, so there were…read morepeople everywhere, but I still had a blast. This place serves food, drinks, and has plenty of games! You can either buy your tickets in person or online beforehand. It's $12 for entry and you can stay as long as you want and come and go with unlimited game access. From what I can tell, some days have specials. Only additional purchases are food and drinks, obviously. They have pizzas, quesadillas, salads, dessert pizzas, and pizza burritos. I tried that last thing because I had never heard of it -- think of it as like a glorified hot pocket. It was delicious! I had a salad to balance things out, and I'll surprised by how hefty it was! Since I had never had their cider before, I decided to do a flight of five. When I placed my order, I was expecting them to give me a tray of five 1 oz pours... But instead, they told me the flight will consist of five 5 oz cups.... WHOA. So I grabbed the first two and had to come back for the rest after I finished. Every single one was delicious, but I really liked the mango habanero and the one with the coconut. Now, the games... I rarely come to a barcade that has TWO Guitar Hero setups. And they had plenty of classic cabinets, air hockey, Mario Kart, shooting games... Claw machines... It was quite epic. By the way, the claw machines did cost extra, and I peeped a party room in the back that had those interactive team floor games! That would be fun to reserve for a special occasion. This place really impressed me. If you enjoy games in a bar setting, I would recommend this spot if you are in the Houston area.

Cidercade is a good option for a big group activity that's (thankfully!) indoors, away from the…read moreHouston heat. I've been there with a group of adults and also with a group of kids, and just note that while it's totally fine (and very fun!) for kids, it's probably better for adults--there's no kid security check-in at the front, and the building is very big, with lots of games. We ordered a pizza from a touchscreen by a food window, and the pizza was actually pretty good, much better than I was expecting at an arcade. The downside was that, in the lunch rush, it took 30-40 minutes for that one pizza to come out, though you could tell they were individually making each item in the big pizza oven. If you want drinks, you separately order those at the front, near where you check in, which is a little odd to have two separate food/drink ordering spots. When we walked in, we paid for a wristband, which gave "free" access to all of the arcade games, except for the claw machines, which required you to buy an extra card.

There are numerous signs clearly displayed letting people know it is not in fact an arcade. Even the company's voicemail message makes it clear. Joystix Classic Games & Pinballs is actually a working showroom that opens once a month for Pac-Man Fever Night, when every game is set to free play. It's one of the most fun and unique experiences in Houston. We hosted my wife's birthday party here, and it was fantastic. Renting the space was simple, the staff was awesome, and having the 1820 Lounge next door made it the perfect setup for a group celebration. Everyone had an amazing time. I highly recommend booking the showroom for events, you will not be disappointed. The owner is Charlie, he is outstanding. He is friendly, passionate, and deeply knowledgeable about pinball and arcade history. You can tell he truly cares about preserving the hobby and sharing it with others. He takes care of his customers and is very courteous to those who are considering a purchase. If you love pinball, classic arcades, or just want to do something different, Joystix is a must-visit Houston gem.

Hey, not bad for a 10 series card graphics computer set. Though would be nice as well and I wish, if you have the space and area to dedicate to have some people bring their own setups and stuff. ::Pros:: + Nice, cozy gaming environment + Computers are solid, and the fact that you have old-school arcade stuff is a bonus + Rates are comfy with bonus times on 7 dollars on an hour charge, and the further you seem to get to it, the more discounted it gets. ::Cons:: - Nothing much really, but just watch out and inform the guy in front if your computer crashes (it's a ggleap thing). He'll happily help you oit.

It is a bunch of computers with a gaming headset, keyboard, and mouse. We had to ask a bunch of questions and ultimately decided on a hour of play. Let me first state I am not a gamer so this review is based on my non-gaming perspective. We selected two computers but one was not working so we had to shift so we could be next to each other. We chose our computer and had to setup our accounts, I think that took away from our hour. My kid wanted to play Fortnite and it took a while to login and get started but we were able to use accounts that were licensed from the store or you could use your own. I decided to switch to Among Us about half way in and the chat was LOUD. I used the sound key on the keyboard but it barely changed a thing, there was no volume control on the headset so I took it off. After 2.5 rounds my time was up so I just waited for my child to finish. As we were leaving a noticed the once 25% full place was about at 75% so it can fill up quickly and we went on a Sunday afternoon. Would I go back, maybe but bring a jacket, it was freezing.
