Nice place for the kids but he needs to figure out the games some didnt work. And some was partially rewarding. Kind of pricey for certain games but once they work it all out it will be a pleasant place for family gathering.

TL;DR: Great for casuals, hardcore gamers stay away.When I heard that a new arcade was opening up in New Orleans, I was very excited, and for the casual looker, this will fill their needs. However, a good number of issues prevent this location from being a regular spot for me.The main arcade is definitely a unique experience, with multiple non-traditional ticket games with inconsistent timing and huge RNG pools that make AP tough, though the prize selection is simple and has some good picks. Many of the selling points of this arcade include VR stations with a variety of experiences (no full games like Beat Saber, Superhot, or Pistol Whip), a driving simulator (not suitable for anyone whos played more traditional racing games like Forza or Grand Turismo), along with new laser tag setups and a small bumper car arena.As for the true arcade games, while I wasnt able to test Dance Central, I did take some time to play on a variety of their racing, fighting, shooter, and puzzle games.This is where it all breaks down.Ill call out two specific examples. One is the build of Outrun 2, which was actually a modified version of Outrun 2006 for PC. While it played fine, the game asks for a selection concerning car, course, and so on, then proceeds to dump back into a script that selects the options again for you, and then after some loading, starts. Okay, fine. Then the game starts, and all the music has been replaced with some random pop track?! The original rock and house tracks got replaced, and it just loops the same song over and over. Definitely not Outrun 2.Next, lets look at their multicades. While official multicades are available, if I mention Pandoras Box you should know what to expect. Inconsistent performance, a variety of unlicensed games, and easily the slowest game of Tetris Grand Masters Ive played in my life. This system CRAWLS and Im not kidding. This thing runs at about 30-50% speed and makes playing properly impossible. I had to stop after a minute of in game time (around 2:30 actual time) and move on. To finish off, the fighting games played well, and the controls were snappy despite not being Sanwa parts. No lag on SFV, and looking at another player doing Tekken 7, it wasnt bad at all.In conclusion, most people will come here for a bit and have an absolute blast, but this place is not suitable for anyone looking for an authentic arcade. The huge examples of running bootleg arcade games is a massive red flag and absolutely must be corrected before I come back in. I wish this company the best of luck in making a solid arcade, but I want to pay the people that developed these games, not an anonymous shell company producing random PCBs with illegal software.Background: Ive been going to arcades for 20+ years, focusing on rhythm and hardcore games including DDR, PIU, SDVX, and a wide variety of classic games including Pac-Man, Tempest, Galaga, and Centipede.

Prices are kind of high. Pizza and nacho cheese could be better. Other then that the kids enjoyed themselves. Oh to many bumper cars and not enough space for all the riders to move around. Get place for kids of all ages.

The game were okay. The theater was awesome. The staff was a little under trained but Id definitely be back.

Small and needs more games. We had fun nonetheless and will return upon the upgrade

While the arcade is really nice. The food is horrible. I ordered spinach Artichoke dip was watered down. The nachos are the cheap ones. The pizza is not good. They want $2 for cotton candy with only a little cotton candy on the stick. Please upgrade the food or you want be in business long. Good food will be the key to your success! Mimic Chuck E. Cheese menu possibly! Long wait time in line to get the play card & register!

I just had a party here over the weekend and I must say that I was very impressed. The staff was very kind and worked hard to please my every need. Friendly environment, great food, a lot of parking, prompt and the attractions were great. Highly recommend this place!

We had a great time. The food was delicious and the kids loved the arcade. Finally there is something to do in NOLA a East!!!

Well we went there for my nephews party when we got there they said the party was not paid for so they had to go into the room and check the paperwork to see if the party was paid the lady came back and it was paid for maybe about 20 minutes into the party the father of the birthday boy came in and asked my brother did he leave his car window down the answer was no went outside and several cars windows were broken.The pizza is not all that good but the chicken tenders fries were OK we ordered a hot wings but they didn’t have any more wings in the building so we ended up Just telling them will settle for the tenders

I picked optimums entertainment for my son’s 6th birthday party, and the customer service was terrible. When it was time for my son’s party to start the party room still was not available because of the party before. The party room was not ready until 5:35, but I reserved it for 5. When talking to the manager I was told I still had to get out of the room for my original time and he could not extend my time because of other parties, which I did not understand because it was not my fault why the party started late. The communication is terrible as well because I was not told about the bumper car being broken when someone called for the deposit. Also when I tried to call the phones was turn off. I would not recommend to any family/friends based off of my experience.

It was a fun place. I would give five stars but games are to high.

I give 2 stars because I called 2 days to book a party with no succes at all. The 1st attempt.... nobody answered the phone the entire day .... I called the whole day periodically. The second attempt I called at 9am and talked to a gentleman who took down my info to possibly book a party because the host who handles birthday parties hadn’t made it into wrk yet and assured me that she would call when she got into work....... no one never called ! The third attempt was me driving to the location which I did and when I arrived I tried to inquire about the step to take to book a birthday party through an employee.... he walked off on me while I was talking to him and then snapped at me replying “ I don’t know”! I will not be returning.

Me and my kids finally have something to do around are house that we really enjoy but I don’t like the food I got the artichoke dip and it was watery and when I went back I ordered food and they had to do it over but I like the buzzer things to know when your food is ready and the burgers tasted raw

Good games, good staff, lots to do. Had my first taste of virtual reality, which was awesome.

The prices work for any budget and the variety of games is amazing.

Great entertainment for the family at a reasonable price. We immensely enjoyed our stay there !

Good start hope people support

I love this place and my kids love it to

Its to ghetto in there,people letting their kids just run around they not watching them and the games cause to many tokens to play.

Poor service and awful smell in party room.
