    I love taking my kids here. I have three (13, 7, and 6) and they all have a blast every time. Claw machines are usually hit or miss, but not here. My kids ALWAYS leave with something. Always. That alone makes it worth it. We always see Alex when we go and he's super helpful. He shows the kids how to use the machines, gives tips, and makes it way more fun. They'll move plushies around, help the kids out, and even swap colors if you win something you don't want. They really make sure the kids have a good experience. I'll easily spend $100 here and not even be mad about it because the kids are happy, they're excited, and they actually feel like they're winning instead of getting frustrated. The place is bright, fun, and just has a really good vibe. It's one of those spots the kids keep asking to go back to.

    Amazing experience!! My kids and I love this place !! We went for my daughter's 6th bday and she had a great experience. The lady there is amazing and sweet! Very nice!!

    This place is such a sweet treat not only for my son but myself. My sister told me about this place when it opened and when we moved back to the area this was the first thing we did. Since then we've gone at least twice a month. I love the option of keeping your prizing or being able to trade them. 100% recommend!!!

    We had such a blast! This place is for everyone for all ages! So much fun! Mahalo!

    They helped plan a very special event & it was a huge success! We had so much fun & I'm 40! My mom is 63 and she was having so much fun too! I recommend this place for everyone of all ages!

    The stuffed bag of prizes I won! Won 13 prizes with just $20 in tokens!

    Such a fun claw arcade! Went during opening weekend with $20 in tokens and ended up winning 13 prizes. Easily the most prizes I've won out of all the claw game arcades I've been to. The staff were all super friendly and atmosphere was fantastic. Certainly a welcome addition to Salinas and looking forward to coming back again soon! Can't recommend this place enough!!!

    Chicken and Duck Plushie

    This place was so much fun!! The owner was so sweet and she helped me to get these cute plushies after she noticed me struggling haha. I would love to come back again but sadly I'm from out of town and was only visiting :( Highly recommend this place for claw machine lovers and kids C:

    Pokémon day!

    Booked out Stuffies Claw Arcade for a private event and they were wonderful host that went above and beyond to make our special moment memorable! This is a family owned business and they definitely pride themselves on creating a safe space for anyone that comes in to play! They have tons of events like Pokémon day and Mario day! Good for kids and adults, date night or even a birthday party.

    Interesting place - I was compelled to go because it was a work-holiday with mandatory attendance…read more So, yes, I was paid to play. It's like a Chuckie Cheese for adults -- lots of noise, lights, video games, & junk food. My group had a private room - clean & comfy with regular table seating and a few sofas with a karoke option and a big screen TV. Pizza was basic, but slices were good sized & hot. Lotsa cheese on the cheese pizza. Pitchers of different sodas were provided & pitchers were labeled, so we knew what we were drinking. Our event included a wristband or sticker (I don't remember) that was good for a limited time to use at specific games that our employer chose for us. I wasn't interested so I gave mine to a teen for extra play. I also gave my ice cream sticker (good for a free scoop) to another kid. Many of our employees bowled, so I joined them in the very comfortable booths & watched the FIFA match on the very BIG screen TVs above the pins. My group had a great time bowling & singing karoke! This is a great location for groups of all ages & sizes. I don't know anything about cost, but the unlimited option seems like the best deal. There's a bar with pool tables for adults, in addition to adult-ish games. The main area is located on the 2nd floor of the mall with access by stairs, escalator, or elevator. Bathrooms have at least 30 stalls!! I thought I died & went to potty heaven! Girls rule!! 4 star for the sensory overload, but I had no idea where I was going. Now, you know. I decided to return a star, so it's now a 5 star review because the venue was just so darned clean.

Later, when I won a claw machine prize that required an employee to grab, April was happy to help and was just as excited as me for my lucky win! Had a great time there today with my family. Can't wait to come back!

    DONT sell your cards here like the other 1 star reviews they DO low ball you with store credit and…read moreoffer lower for cash if you want to sell cards you're better off selling them on EBay or Facebook marketplace because you will make more money off of your cards. I visited today and the owner had a very rude attitude, I showed him a card which is not in the best condition but I didn't know at the time what counts as Moderately, heavily played or damaged and when I handed him the card he just started laughing at my face and when I said I didn't know much he just said "obviously" with the most disrespectful tone still chuckling which was UNNECESSARY and uncalled for . After that another customer was curious and asked questions about a card in glass case he responded with attitude and was impatient and rushing him so he left. I liked the place at first but after multiple times of dealing with rude the owner and very low offers. Honestly save your time and visit the shop across from Planet fitness inside of the mall they sell and buy cards and figures and offer way BETTER prices and MUCH friendlier.

    "Gamers in Control in Salinas--let me tell you, folks, total disaster, absolutely the worst. I've…read morebeen to hundreds of shops, tremendous shops, the best shops, and this one? A complete mess. The owner--very rude, very nasty, not smart, not smart at all--goes after anyone who leaves an honest review. Sad! You think you're just asking a question, maybe about a card, very simple, very smart question, and suddenly you're under attack. It's unbelievable. People come in, they try to be nice, they try to be reasonable, and this guy--boom!--he's on you like nobody's business. Prices? Terrible. Service? Awful. Atmosphere? You wouldn't believe it. Very low energy. I've seen coffee shops with better vibes than this place. And the owner--he thinks he's running the greatest card shop in America, maybe the world, but really, folks, it's a total disaster. Very sad. He can't handle criticism. Can't handle it. If you leave an honest review, you'll feel like you insulted the president. And I know a thing or two about criticism, believe me. So do yourself a favor--don't go. You'll save your money, your time, your dignity. It's a very dangerous shop for anyone who wants an honest experience. I know the best shops, I have the best shops, people tell me all the time. Gamers in Control? Not one of them. Terrible, terrible, avoid at all costs. Bigly disappointing. And that owner? He needs a lesson in manners. Very sad!"

    I am all for supporting local businesses, so we chose Maya Cinemas in Salinas for a new movie and…read morewere disappointed from start to finish. First, the phone app disappeared. The kiosk to print online tickets was broken, which meant everyone had to wait in line at the concession stand just to get tickets. Then, since we had not visited in a while, we were not familiar with the layout anymore. Our movie was in Theater 1, but the numbering/signage was unclear. We saw Theater 2, but there was no visible number for Theater 1 nearby, leaving us second guessing whether we were in the right place. Once inside, the theater itself felt very worn down. The seats were so worn they looked dirty, and there were no food trays. I did like how far back the recliners went, but the farther you reclined, the more a barrier in front blocked the bottom portion of the screen. We also paid for the Dolby sound experience because my husband appreciates good audio quality, and he immediately noticed that not all of the surround speakers were being used, particularly the rear speakers. That noticeably took away from the movie experience. Overall, this theater feels neglected and run down. It is disappointing to see what was once a thriving theater decline so much. Unfortunately, we will not be back.
