Arcade Monsters, Orlando, FL.

Arcade Monsters is such a great addition to I-Drive in Orlando.

16,000 square feet of arcade gaming, ranging from pinball, shooters, classic arcade games, racing, and even Japanese imports.

We arrived around 10 am and had the place to ourselves until later in the day. Towards evening time, the crowd starts to pick up, but it’s not overwhelming. It is extremely loud, and I would recommend noise-canceling earbuds.

If you’re a huge pinball fan, be sure to create an account with the Stern pinball app. You can scan your QR code on many of the machines, and it will track your high scores, and you can unlock achievements.

It can get a little warm here, so take advantage of the large fans sitting around the gaming floor. They also offer free complimentary water, which is great after playing some of the Japanese rhythm games.

There is a full bar with some pretty decent food options.

THE RATINGS:

• Double Monster burger: 6/10 This would be a solid 8/10 if they didn’t dump an entire container of salt on it.

• Fries: 7.5/10

• Cuban Empanada: 7/10

• Chicken Fajita Quesidilla: 7.5/10
