The customer service here is absolutely horrendous! If youre going to hire a bunch of teenagers to work at a place at least have the brains to have an adult to supervise these poor excuses of so called employees. Im all for teenagers getting job experience, but this place is NOT teaching good work ethics. All they do is ignore the customers and talk about sex and dry hump each other behind the register. When we came into pay for admissions and our nickels, the sorry loser running the register wouldnt even acknowledge us and when he FINALLY did he yanked my card from my hand with his dirty hands and he took forever to run it because he was too busy flirting with his "co-workers." Not a word was said to us. Although when other teenagers came in they were quickly noticed, because they were obviously friends with the "workers" there and were let in without paying. So unless youre still going through puberty, dont count on any customer service. Other than poor customer service the place does have fun games to play.

The most depressing arcade Ive ever been to. The place is DIRTY. Half of the machines dont work, it literally smelled like poop, and worst of all, the customer service is COMPLETELY terrible. It would have killed the employees to smile. When we first went in, the guy didnt even say hello, took our money and only talked to his other buddy behind the counter. At one point they were all on their phones, not even acknowledging us, and when they did come to us, they dragged their feet as if it was a punishment to come help us. Isnt that what they get paid to do?? Its obvious they hate working there and have zero work ethic. If you cant keep up with the maintenance of this place, at least hire people that will make this place feel a little better with a smile and good customer service.

If you can get past the smell of throw-up at the entrance this place is fun and cheap. Im a child of 90s arcades and this is the closest I have to reliving the golden years of Arcades. You can tell they dont care to repair or maintain the machines, but there is some charm to that. Will this machine take my nickel and not give me a credit? Will this skeeball have any balls in it? How many hands have touched this joystick? The place is one huge chance game. Speaking of change games, it seems that this is where the better machines are. If you love getting tickets this is your place. If you love the 90s this is your place. If you love taking dates to cheap thrills this is your place. If you love the smell of old throw-up this is your place (and please see a shrink).

Great idea, poor execution. Ive been here 2 times, once about a year ago, and then again recently. both times I have the same issue, half of the stuff is broken. if the stuff is broken at least put an out of order sign on it, Half of my time was spent just thinking about how fun it would have been to play if the machine didnt just eat my coin. lcd screen conversions that dont fit correctly and or look bad at least got the games working again, but at what cost. its just kinda sad. They only have one or two pinball machines, but they could have 10 and it wouldnt matter if the flippers dont work, its not playable. fix the games, hire someone to keep them maintained, and this could be a solid arcade, instead of a partial arcade graveyard.

I had a very poor experience here a couple days ago. The place is not very clean for starters. The bathrooms were appalling and the carpet looked like it hadnt seen a vacuum in months. The machines are not well maintained either. There are a great number of machines that are out of order and many others that should be out of order. One out of every three machines I tried playing didnt operate correctly, or at all. A lot of the machines also cost more nickels than they say they do. Sure its inexpensive and you really arent out a whole lot of money...but there are other similarly priced arcades in the area that provide a much better experience. Dont come here.

So My 6 yo has been bugging me to go to Nickelcade since her after school care centre took her there. To sum it up, take the $8 entry fee for a family of 4 and whatever you plan to spend in nickels and put it in the garbage disposal, probably money better spent. I would estimate that a third of the games are out of order and those supposedly working may or may not work despite taking your money. Prizes at these places are always poor but you can get better out of a 50 cent machine. On the plus side if you are nostalgic for some Space Invaders, Galaga, or Pac Man they have it.

Used to live this place. Seriously been coming here for 20 years. Ive always known that some break down, a little more than normal, but hey theyre a nickel. Well, none of them are a nickel anymore, and I didnt play a single game that wasnt broken. Not one. If you told the employees they acted mad at you, never was posted compensation for lost money or tickets due to broken games. Employees didnt care and were on their phones and distracted most of the time. Extremely disappointed.

Ive been here back in summer of 03 with one of my closet friend and spend about $50 dollars worth of nickles playing almost every arcade there from; shooters, fighters, driving and even some classics (i.e. Pacman, Astroids, Mario Bros, Missile Command, etc), especially pinball machines and the air hockey table. I even had some ice cream there and heard alot of 90s alternative. Great times to be there, I wish that I can go back to summer of 2003 and experience there again!!

4-16-16 This place is a joke. They say they are open till midnight but kicked everyone out at 11 pm. Go up to use the ticket receipts and they tell us that the kids cant use them because they closed. The employees are lazy and rather talk to each other about the sex they have than doing their jobs. I dont care what lies they have to tell. I heard the conversations and so did at least 3-4 other people. What kind of place yall trying to run? This is unacceptable. Period.

this place gets a big "meh..." from me, its close to a little ceasers so its a pretty good spot, but I dont think much of its game selection. I havent really had any experiences with the customer service so thats not really a big deal. I will tell you this though... ...... Theres a golden axe machine at the back of the store that doesnt require any coins, just go ahead and hit the start button as many times as you need and beat it with some friends.

It is cheap, and a lot of fun, but you get what you pay for. The place is always a little bit dingy and smells faintly of wet diapers. My daughter loves coming here, but today she might have changed her mind. She hit the jackpot on one of the games and should have won several hundred tickets...the game did not give out anything. An employee saw this and said that she must not have actually landed on the jackpot, though you could plainly see she had.
