    Axe throwing
    Pauline W.

    Went to play Axe Throwing So much fun They also have archery, bowling and arcade great service and friendly staff to explain how things work and ticket purchases No expiring can keep my bracelet for next visit

    Salmon on cobb

    The rec room is 2 floors of games, with a bar and restaurant on the upper floor and a snack bar downstairs. You can enter through the mall, across from uniqlo but they chain the entrance just before the mall closes. The outside entrance is near the bus terminals. It's a good looking well designed space. A great venue for parties, noisy meetups, and families. We had dinner and everyone was pleased with the food, includes a great kids menu. The place was booked when we made reservations but the tables were surprisingly mostly empty on arrival. Our waiter was nice and helpful but it was hard to signal someone when we needed something. After dinner comes the games. You buy a bracelet and feed it with money for credits to play. The more money you load, the more extra "free" points you get. You get prize points for game play, which don't expire so you can reuse the bracelet indefinitely and save up for that michael kors purse prize. The kids liked racing each other the most, and there are a few races to try. The other games for tickets felt like gambling rip offs. The prize room is upstairs by the bathrooms. They could provide more wipes and sprays as the pandemic isn't over. We would have liked to try bowling but we couldn't get coordinated enough to reserve it. Ping pong was full up too. Still lots of fun to look forward to the next time.

    Waited quite some time for this mini salad

    We had a blast here during the summer. It's a bit pricey, but it's worth the memories. The drinks and food is a bit of a long wait, but it's worth it if you're hungry

    Three10 Burger
    Michelle K.

    Stopped by to play games with my sister and we decided to stay and dine here as well. It was Sunday at 5pm and the dining room was practically empty, but we still had to wait 10 to 15 mins to get seated as there was no one out front to help us. There were two workers but they said that they weren't in charge of seating and to wait for someone else to come. Finally when we got seated, the waiter came by with the water. I ordered the three10 burger and my sister got the Mac n cheese. Now I wasn't expecting much for a place like the Rec Room for their eats but these dishes were underwhelming. The burger was okay but cold and the fries were overcooked to the point where is was just too hard to eat. The Mac n cheese was pretty much watered down with no cheese pull and it barely had any cheese taste to it. We were both disappointed in the food given the price of it. Definitely would not go back here for the food, but will be back for the games.

    Threeten burger with salad

    Location/Service It's located within Square One, near the Uniqlo section with a mall and outside entrance. The place is pretty big, with the dining area at the top level and gaming area at the bottom. Interior is similar to the downtown location, bright and ambient. The waitress serving us was nice, accurate with orders and food service was fast. Food Ordered the Threeten burger with salad. It has two patties served with tomato, lettuce and pickles. The burger itself is basic, nothing too outstanding and out of the ordinary. The patty was good, but was thinner than I thought - which in a way two of them makes it look better. Bun was soft and buttery. Salad was just mixed greens with an olive oil dressing. Everything was basic that I could do at home, cost me around $16. VR Reserves and paid tickets online two weeks in advanced. Came to the VR section and it said "closed for a private event". Reception said it's open and will notify staff. Waited 10 min and staff then tells us it's under maintenance and to play another time. Couldn't give us a refund cause it's associated with cineplex. Overall very disappointed on how this was handled. There was no communication prior to us coming and lack of communication between staff. Putting a blame at cineplex just made the solution more ridiculous. Came all the way here from Markham for nothing.

    Large and lots of tables/seating plus bar. Private group space available but we were only 8 people so we just got a table. They brought us bags of popcorn to start while we waited for our food. There were gf and vegan options on the menu. I had a veg bowl, which was quite good but huge. I also had a side of the quinoa "fried rice" because the server felt I wouldn't get full with "just vegetables". I had to pack half my vegetables (bowl) to go as it was too much food. The quinoa was tasty. We booked axe throwing for our group for 1 hour but we had to take turns as only 4 can go in the cage at one time. It was fun...but remember to wear closed toe shoes!

    Ribs,quinoa and tomato salad

    Soo I've been wanting to try this part of city centre-The Rec Room- let's divide it to categories such as the ff: Ambiance-4.5/5 --looks very classy,relaxing and inviting,it has an area for games,billiards,downstairs they have a bowling alley.I gave it a 4.5/5 cause my family wanted to be at the window area but were not allowed to.During the night,they have a dance floor and open bars going on which is also worth to try sometimes. Taste: 3/5- the appetiser was very good,appealing to the palette and has a good aesthetic appearance; however, there are only a couple of pitas-6 pieces for a very good dip- which will tempt you to order for a pita for another dollar. The layered lasagna was nothing special-- didn't appealed to my taste buds and won't be ordering again, the potatoes was good,soo definitely will recommend that. The sundae was not close to the advertised picture which was a disappointment lol Service 5/5-- we had a very entertaining and fun server! She has very good customer skills and is very well trained! Worth for the money 2/5- really an area that is very overtly price.I guess you're paying for the ambiance rather than the quality of the food. Over all it was a nice one-time experience..Will I come back? Probably not to eat but to enjoy the games and the amusement areas.

    Butter beans and peas (where is the beans??)
    Ryan L.

    Unfortunately this place was quite disappointing. Despite the space compared to the downtown being much better, food and amenities this place missed the mark. Starting with the food. Reservations were made 3 weeks ago, at which the person who took the call said they very full but will squeeze us in (thx for the favour), restaurant was half empty. Staff was courteous and knowledgeable about products but could have used soke refining. Asked us if we wanted take out containers and then forgot to bring them. Kids meal was a great deal at $12. This includes unlimited popcorn, a juice a main (she had a cheese burger) and a side. We chose the beans and peas. The beans and pees didn't have any beans. When we asked the waiter, he said he noticed that as well. If he noticed he should have done something. He got us some beans after we asked. Same with the popcorn which only came after we saw other tables get popcorn. I ordered eggs Benedict with an added smoked salmon. Probably the worst eggs Benedict I have ever had. Salmon wasn't big pieces but was just junks of smoked salmon similar to something that would have come out of a can rather than a nice fresh PC (grocery store would have been better). Only one of my eggs ran as the other was over cooked. The English muffin was not toasted so just acted like a sponge for the grease. Overall the whole thing was a disaster. Other people at the table had issues with their food. The timing was all off for them trying to bring food out to everyone at the same time . Some food was already cold due to poor timing. Would hate to see how they would deal with bigger groups as we were 8 and they could not time it right. People who had dishes with cheese, the cheese already hardened again before coming out. Now to the games as we went there to play some games as well. Bracelets from downtown location do not work at this location. They said they have to still get on the same system so they force you to pay the $2 charge to get a new card. Also the elevators did not work and we had 2 strollers with us. We had to carry them up and down the stairs as their 1 elevator they have already doesn't work properly and was out of order. I hope that this was just a one off and they will get better. Hope others if they go have a better experience.

    Smallest mac and cheese dish for 16$. Do not get.

Everyone has been suggesting ideas. My suggestions come flowing out because it's just my nature. One of them is Claw Land. I know that a handful of folks like that idea. However, they are mainly the younger folks on the team. We have three older men to convince. We'll see what happens. My recommendation comes from my experience playing claw games here a few months ago. It was a Yelp experience. For someone who has genuinely sucked at claw games in my life, playing them here boosted my confidence. Staff take the time to show you how to play the game and truly want you to succeed. We were trying to figure out how much it would be for a group to come here. We have the option to book a private event for two hours. Tokens are 15% off the regular price and start at 1000 tokens for $500. We'd have the place for two hours, with seating for ten people. The catch is that this blocked time has to be on a weekend. Bummer. We were hoping for a weekday. We asked if we could just play on a Friday. Yes! We'd have to negotiate tokens for a smaller group of eight folks, but things look promising right now. It's on budget and it's fairly close to our office. It was roughly a twenty-minute drive to get there after work on a Wednesday. Claw Land is located in a plaza with lots of parking. I didn't have any issues finding a parking spot. Staff are nice. One female staffer showed how to play on one of the numerous claw machines. She also pointed out that each machine has a level of difficulty rating and points that you get if you win. Cool! I seriously thought that I'd be horrible at the easy claw machines. They actually built my confidence up. I won two plushies on two different easy-level machines. Insane and cool! Say yes to a cart! I thought that I wouldn't win any plushies, but everyone is a winner here. You can trade your plushies up for different ones. I traded up for two larger plushies. This place didn't have a tip jar. I wanted to tip so badly. The woman said that writing a review is a good equivalent. Here it is! I'm hoping that our team says yes to coming here for our event. Otherwise, I may need to gather my colleagues for an after-work claw game event for us. (244)

    I tried my first claw machine experience and I regressed into childhood as I became more and more…read moreexcited after every try. Initially, I was not getting the hang of it due to numerous failed attempts but the staff were so helpful. Their plushies were so cute and attractive that you would be confused which machine to play. Each machine though has a different level of difficulty and amount of coins required to play. Also, each plushy has a corresponding point so you can exchange the plushies for a bigger one.

The pinball games ranging from the old school cog version, to the 80s version where computers started to get involved, to the modern ones made just this year showcased a real range. What was incredibly exciting was being able to play a number of Mario Kart arcade game races, that I see for three or four dollars a race at other arcades. Couple that with the incredible food options (Deep fried mac and cheese wedges, deep fried mars bars, deep fried... everything!) and at prices that have you snacking and grazing through the whole thing. It's a great place for kids, too. The only thing is kids need to be out by 8pm. But, there's a lot to do before then.

We were a bit skeptical of how it would measure up, because it's in a much smaller unit, but we turned out pleasantly impressed. The one obvious improvement is that it's newer than the old facility, but it's been a few years since they moved. Yet, it is still very fresh and clean. We booked our tickets online prior to going, as recommended on their website, to avoid any wait behind others to get started. Sure enough, we only had to wait a couple of minutes once we arrived to get started. In the meantime, we wandered among the arcade amusements you can enjoy. You can purchase ticket packages in bulk if you want to enjoy the arcade machines and games in lieu of or in addition to your mini golf experience. We were handed out putters and able to choose what colour glow-in-dark ball we wanted. We were able to begin right away. Throughout the entire 18 holes, we rarely had to worry about waiting on people ahead of us, or causing delay to anyone behind. It wasn't perfect, but it was a testament to how well they manage to stagger entrants. All of the holes were different, in terms of layout and paint design. Everything was aesthetically pleasing. The challenge level was a good medium so that you don't want to scream with frustration, but not so easy as to make it absolutely boring. I'd say we spent maybe 90 minutes or so in total to complete the course. We were asked if we'd like to have a scorecard to keep track, which we did. It wasn't always easy keeping up, moving along, and writing scores on the fly, but it made it a little more fun to keep the competitive streak running. We dropped our putters off before exiting the course and were done. It was a great family activity, which I'd recommend with any group you might want to play with. They also offer party packages, with a full sized party area to accommodate a celebratory meal. We'll definitely return every so often for a fun, family experience.

Perfect for date nights or even a fun day out with the family, this mini golf place definitely delivers!

Staff are friendly and even when it's not super busy, it's still a great day out. With such an affordable price, I'll definitely be back!
