RetroCade

Not sure if they have food but they do have drinks for purchase. Service was great and he explained everything in great detail. This place made me feel like I was a teenager again. I played games I use to play as a kid on an Atari lol. This was my first time here. My date and I had a blast. So FUN!!! You pay one price for a bracelet and play whatever games you want. I'm unsure of the price as my date paid for it.

Retrocade is a smaller video game arcade than the big operations like Freeplay, or Shenanigans, etc. More of a neighborhood arcade, with chilled adult beverages in the coolers.Kids, and kids' parties are welcome, please contact staff ahead of time to schedule.Quality of games... well, I have read many online reviews complaining about broken games... Hmmm, who broke the games?The really big arcades, or entertainment centers, have backup inventory, and fulltime techs to service their machines.Retrocade only asks that customers be gentle on these classic cabinet video games, some are 40 years old.Does Granny allow the kids to jump on her furniture? LOL, C'mon people, Retrocade does not want to babysit customers.Please, be gentle on the games, and show the younger kids how to play the games.Finding knowledgeable Techs to work on these games is getting harder.Other than that, Retrocade is a safe place, and a clean place, with decent restrooms. Located in Dalrock Crossing Center, a nice, quiet shopping mall at Dalrock Road & Lakeview Parkway, in Rowlett, TX.No need to drive to other cities, relax right here. All-Day wristband means you can be flexible.Thank you for reading this review!

I went here with my daughter Sunday for a mother/daughter hang-out day. Zack was running the counter and was very friendly and fun. I played my favorite games, as well as new games I'd never have considered if I was paying for each attempt. Sadly, it seems I always outlast everyone on Off Road - I never want to stop. LOL We each got some drinks and my daughter ordered the pickle chips and very much enjoyed them. Oh, and the most amazing thing for me was the bathroom - it was spotless!! I have honestly never walked into a cleaner public restroom anywhere, and I've been to countless Buc-ee's mainly because of their clean bathrooms! All in all, it was a truly enjoyable experience and we will definitely be back!

Fun night with the fam. I really like the fact they have step stools for the littles. The kids loved all the games. Its a flat rate to enter & they have tons of beverages including something for kids. It does get crowded easily but dont let that deter you from getting a round & playing some pinball.

Such a fun place with a big offering of classic arcade games. Unlimited play for one price. Food is typical bar food but excellent! Quesadillas were very cheesy . Pickles were crisp with nice crisp slices inside, great ratio of pickle to breading. The funnel cake bites were like mini sopapillas and served with honey. Great selection of non alcoholic drinks, beers and soda. Great for family and friends for a fun day! And veteran owned!!

It's a nice little bar/arcade with a bunch of rad older (and some newer) arcade games! They also have an incredible selection of beer. I'll be back for sure!

Lots of fun good food and the games are such classics my personal favorite is pinball

I love the idea of this place, and the pinball machines are great but a bunch of the good games have problems with them like broken buttons or messed up CRTs so you're left with a bunch of mediocre games.

Food is good. Service is great. The games are ok but a lot of them weren't working. I definitely recommend the arcade in deep ellum. This place is really small. Good prices tho

We were invited to a friend's birthday party for my daughter. They charged all parents $12 to come inside with their child even if they are not participating in the games. They would prefer minors come to a party by themselves unsupervised than allow adults to attend with them. This doesn't seem wise or safe. We thought about having a party here in the future but will not be doing so if this remains a rule as I wouldn't feel comfortable taking full responsibility for that many children at once.
