I grew up in Dunellen. My Uncle Ed Montross opened the place back in the 70's Tons of fun and good times were had there in the 70's and 80's. Glad to see it still open and I will have to go there soon

Check this place out! Have a Break Steak followed by A Wiffle , then play a few rounds of Pump doubles! Chris is awesome! Go on his train too haha! Machines: ITG2 Dedi, PIU Fiesta, GF, Pop'n, DDR....

Ernie Rosario

I love this place, one of the few arcades in NJ and even the east coast that regularly updates their cabinets, has ITG, Pump It Up, and DDR, and makes good and cheap cheesesteaks . Recommended.

One of the last remaining meccas for Asian music games on the East Coast. Worth the quick trip from NYC. As of11/25: DDREx, ITG2, 2 Technika 2s, Pop'n Music 14, Keyboardmania, IIDX 19 Lincle. Go!

Jeffrey Naeder

One of the last great arcades left in the US!!! If your traveling to the USA or taking a trip to the east coast, check this place out ^^

Ken Griggs

They have the real icee machine now... Awesome... And the today's cheesesteak special for 3.98 (for over 24 years) rocks... If u c a hottie bend her over a barrel and show her the fifty states !

Will Weaver

If you like gaming, you must make it your quest to make your way here at least once. There's so much to do.

Lorraine Leierzapf

Have the "special" play DDR till you work it off, then play other stuff for hours, spend 20 bucks amazing!!! BEST arcade ever!

Maggie McGinnis

I suggest you get the cheese steak special. A steakum type sandwich , thin and crispy fries and a soda for $6. Best deal.

Robert Salender

The only place in this side of New Jersey with Japanese and Korean games. ... Might I add CaucASIAN couples. Sorry for saying that, but... it is too true!

Andrew Gargiso

Great philly cheese steaks to go with your games

Paul Richardson

You have to try the Break Steak Special, seriously. Even if you're vegetarian !

Michael Gaela

Breaksteaks are gdlk! They need to fix the mvc2 cab and a few others. probably the best arcade in jersey since fng closed a few years ago. =(

Charles Lawrence

If you play ITG, play the mudkyp charts. They're the best!!

m-punss eat-ss

the air hockey table doesn't produce air, thus making it a slow paced game. no wonder it's only 50 cents to play.

Go to the break, get "The special" with everything. After a night of playing games, it's obligatory, and only 4 bucks. Read more
