GameWorks

Really bad experience on Christmas Eve.
Bar tender tried hard to make up for the manager’s short comings and poor judgment on our concerns. The only person that lost here was the bar tender as on the manager confirmed that the atmosphere was better upstairs at the sports bar

Sign said «Wait to be seated». We stood there for 10 minutes until a random person acknowledged us and told us she had no idea where the host was. Two of our three meals came out together and after about 20 minutes we had to remind the waiter about the third meal. Then we saw the waiter helping move chairs and things before going into the kitchen and getting the pizza. The food was less than mediocre… Obviously frozen burgers with no flavor whatsoever. The waiter never refilled drinks. Definitely not worth the price. Will not eat here again.
**Update: We had to run back an hour later because my friend left her keys. We were told to check the table. An hour later and the table hadn’t been bussed yet– it was exactly as we’d left it!

This was one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had at any dining establishment. Waited 15 minutes to be seated by someone who told us «oh we don’t normally have that sign up. I don’t know where the hostess is.» She couldn’t tell us how to get credits to play games. None of the staff you saw walking around actually seemed to be working… Just hanging out with their friends. It took them 30 minutes to get out 2 burgers. And then another 20 minutes to get my son’s pizza out. I actually had to REMIND my server that there was more food on the way to the table. He seemed genuinely shocked. The one thing this place has going for it is the classic PacMan arcade game. Save yourself the $ and go to Dave & Busters.

The place would be awesome if more of the games were in working order. But the service was cool and it’s best to go on ½ price Tuesdays

I’m old school. I want to stick quarters into machines and not swipe a debit card that’s been loaded with token credits. It’s much easier to decide you don’t want to play anymore when you don’t have an account that has to be run down to zero before you can leave.
Gameworks has a decent selection of games here including shooting, driving, dancing and throwing (basketballs or footballs). And there is a pair of air hockey tables. Nothing fantastic or great and many games are three or more «tokens» to play.
And yes, there is a bar and some food options too — burgers and such.
I’ve experienced better.

I think this place went from being Jillian’s to a DaveNBuster wannabe. They added the bar and food options, but neither one seem any good. I came here yesterday with some friends and no one was very happy with their food. It was poorly made. And even my margarita was very weak with no salt on the rim. Really not worth coming back for anything but if friends are there.

It helped kill some boredom but was not the best arcade we visited. The hourly cards excluded all of the games you would desire to play except the really large basketball game. We spent most of our time competing there and riding the roller coaster game. Definitely would be a last resort type place but the kids night for $ 5 is awesome. Dinner and a free hour of play… can’t beat it!

I planned my son’s 4^th birthday party at Game Works at the absolute last minute. During the planning process the staff was helpful. After I made my reservation, I read the Unilocal reviews. This made me very nervous because the reviews were not positive.

I arrived on the day of my sons birthday and my trepidation was totally unfounded. The staff assigned to handle the party were absolute ANGELS. No one in my party had to ask for anything at all, they went out of their way for my son, the children and adults in attendance. Everyone had a great time thanks to the staff at GameWorks who were incredibly friendly and patient. I am so glad that I had my sons party there, he has not stopped talking about his birthday party. They definitely made it an event that he will not forget.

This used to be Jillians and thought maybe this one would be better. It wasn’t. Most of the games didn’t even work properly just like they didn’t work at Jillians. Didn’t even bother trying to eat the food for fear it would also be the same. Total money pit. Even more so than most arcades. Will never be going back no matter what the name may be next.

This place used to be called Jillians and more than half the games didn’t work. I thought maybe with a new owner and a new name it would change. Was I wrong. Seems to me the only thing that changed about this place was the name. More than half the games don’t work and the ones that do don’t work all that well. I will not be returning to this place ever again. Seems to be a big money pit. Word to anyone going there, DON’T waste your time or money. Just stay home. You will thank me later

Well… this used to be called Jillians; now it’s GameWorks… but all the games didn’t work!!! When it was Jillians… all the games didn’t work then!
The games here are soooooo out dated! Not sure why, but eeeeeek! There are a few favorites of mine. But all in all… this place definitely needs a facelift on the arcade/​game side.
The bar area/​restaurant is decent. The seating is super tight, but it’s manageable. The food is soooo mediocre. The drinks… just ok as well. If you want to drink… stick with fountain drinks or beer. Save your money on the mixed drinks!
They do have some specials on Sunday… platters. The pricing is decent, but the quality of the food should be better.
I think they show most of the games. I don’t remember all the games being shown. A matter a fact some tv’s played the same game… so yeah, I don’t believe they have the NFL ticket package.
Nevertheless, the atomsphere was cool. There was only one rowdy guest, but they escorted him out without making a huge scene.
There are pool tables inside and the venue is located inside a shopping mall. So it’s not all bad. There is some good in this place and I felt safe. I approve of the environment.
The restrooms were clean and our waitress was pleasant also. I did not have any compliants at all about her.
I would recommend this place if you didn’t have anywhere else to go. Or if you are out with family… they may want to stroll the mall while you enjoy GameWorks.
Drafts were about $ 4 during game day on Sunday.
Have fun :)

Well. To start off with this place has an okay appearance. They have pool tables and a bar and restaurant. We didn’t eat. We got a $ 20 playing card because my husband wanted to play racing arcade games. All of the racing games that he tried froze up (nascar, Mario kart, some Ferrari game). The manager was really nice about everything and refunded what we paid for the card. Service was awesome, but the games are dated.
