Throwbacks JAX

I'll start with my one and a half complaints: the layout seems to be a little awkward. They've changed it a few times and it seems to be getting better but it's still awkward. Personally, I think they'd do well to get rid of the action figures for sale and use that wall space for other things. My other (lesser) complaint is that no one seems to know about this place. So it seems like they really need to put some time & energy into marketing. I'd just love for more people to know about this placeNow on to all of the good: decent selection of games and priced well for wristbands. The food is excellent, IMO. Far better than I was expecting to be honest. They have a good alcohol selection too. The staff has been nice to us during the 2 or 3 times we've been there too.

If you're looking for a place to take your kids that are a little too old for Chuck E Cheese, then this is a great spot. If you're trying to have a date night with cool games that isn't too pricey, then eat somewhere else and come here after 8 PM.Throwbacks has definitely cornered the market on game costs with $15 unlimited play for adults. They have multiple skeeball machines, tons of pinball, unique fighter games, and console gaming. The art and decor is definitely on point for vintage '90s arcade. It's a fun little spot. I'm not sure if I had the same food as the rest of these reviewers, but my food was...not good. Everything was undercooked and it took almost an hour to get the food. I think they were using an air fryer to cook everything, because my jalapeño poppers and tater tots were definitely not fried. My date's chicken sandwich was clearly a Sodexo frozen cafeteria chicken patty. The best thing we had was the chicken, bacon, ranch quesadilla, which was okay at best. The food is definitely geared more towards children or people who are super picky eaters.The parking lot is a little tricky especially if you drive a larger vehicle. It's also a very small place and people let their kids run wild. Definitely check it out later in the evening if you're not a huge fan of kids. Overall I'll definitely come back, because the unlimited gaming for $15 is a steal compared to every other barcade in the city and they have a pretty good variety of games. But the food was a huge let down, especially after reading all of the other reviews.

4.25Games: Fun, good selection, fun pinball games, heard the skee ball went away which is a bummer. Mario, Donkey Kong, PAC Man, Mutant Turtles, lots of driving and gun games, Sopranos pinball, Metallica pinball, and others. Need more cup holders near those machines.Staff: 5 out of 5. So nice, helpful, walk around to offer more drinks.Food: Pretzel bites are good. Pizza was not great. Nachos were bad (stale chips and toppings lacked). With that being said, saw other food that may be better. You are there for the drinks and games, stay simple on the food.Drinks: Great selection- cooler and on draft. Cold mugs. Cost: Entry is affordable- Under 7 free, 16 and under 7.50, adults $15. For the amount of games you'll play (all then free), definitely worth it.Overall, a fun time with family and friends- something different and love the retro vibe. Bathrooms clean. Toys for sale. They have specials during the week and also tournaments. Give it a try!Veteran Owned, which is great, love to support.

Great for the kids. Even the adults can grab a beer/pizza etc. $10 for all you can play games.

Supes cool! Food could be handled better, but lotsa badass games so I can't really complain

It's only been open a few months... same shopping center as Mumuyj Bakery. The name of the place is perfect... everything inside is a definite throwback to the days of old school arcade games and nostalgic toy displays. Quarters are tight and the flow of customers were pretty constant for a Sunday afternoon! We came here for a birthday party and no child left unfulfilled! Games, pizza, wings... a great time was had by all! We will definitely be back.

Great place to take the kids or have a fun night with the family. They have trivia for the adults while the kids play old school arcade games.

My son requested to come here with friends last minute for his birthday. I had never heard of this place before so I did a quick yelp lookup and called Throwbacks to get a little more details. I spoke with Season who was super friendly and informative. I was even able to secure a last minute reservation for 8 ppl on Saturday afternoon! Upon arrival we were seated promptly. Our server Kelly quickly came over to take drink orders and gave the boys wristbands for the unlimited game play. The boys were off to play games! Kelly went over a few adult beverage options and even provided a sample of their Jags inspired libation for us parents. We weren't quite ready to order food at that point. Kelly just advised that we should order food maybe 20 minutes before we actually thought we should so we wouldn't be waiting long for the food to come out. She checked in with us periodically as we were around playing games and took our order. We kept it simple and order 2 pepperoni pizzas which were amazing might I add! Kelly was attentive and overall a great server! The prices are great! We fed 5 teenage boys, 2 adults, a toddler, plus unlimited throwback arcade games and modern video game play for $110! Where can you find good family fun at that price anymore! We will be back again and again! They are working on expanding their space and we are excited to see what they have in store.If you're in to retro video games and good food, this is your place! Run don't walk!

Cute arcade, friendly staff, wristbands for all you can play $20 16 and up; $10 for ages 6-15, free for littles; good selection of beers; pizza and lumpia were tasty! They have happy hour M-Th afternoons. College football on Saturday and Jags on Sunday; Magic, Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh, other cards next door!

Throwbacks is an AMAZING ARCADE! With a huge selection of pinball machines new and vintage! The food was amazing and I highly recommend their different burger selections! There is a game for everyone to play from kids to adults and Throwbacks is adding to their selection with the most recent addition of FIX IT FELIX JR ARCADE!Check this GEM out as I regularly do and look forward to going back to set a new high score on the Wreck It Ralph themed arcade game!
