Arcade Alley — Restaurant in Lee's Summit

Pros: (1) Has pinball machines

Cons: (1) Arcade machines are poorly serviced (1a) TMNT games yellow player was unusable due to the jump/attack buttons being unusable sticky (1b) The 2 leftmost Skeeball machines had partially broken ramps, which would flex as the ball goes up them, making it somewhat frustrating to play.

I could recommend hiring a dedicated repairman (and I know a guy...

We ate the tacos and chicken tenders. Everything was delicious. Some of the best French fries around. Prices are very reasonable. 100/10 will go again. Perfect for a nostalgic date. I priced us at $30-$50. But that's for a wristband, food, and each of us getting 2 drinks. Honestly absolutely...
