3 weeks agoWe had a Wonderful time at PoJo's today celebrating my granddaughter's 8th birthday..This is the perfect venue for a party...I'm thinking ages 4-68 years of age will love it..it's colorful and festive....AND THE PIZZA ....It's better than you'd think. Great crust and plenty of cheese...usually at places like this the food is not this good...All the children and adults were having a lot of fun.

a month agoMy daughter and I love this place, we've been several times over the last few years. I think they are a better value than some of the other kids redemption arcades around. I got a really good cheeseburger there as well. The ice cream is good and the bumper cars are pretty fast. The staff is pleasant and helpful. If you have young children you need to get them in there.
Timothy Bird
a month agoThis place was packed in the early afternoon on a tues. There were kids and parents everywhere from the food gallery, to the arcade area. The staff were moving brisk but they did not look stressed which means this a normal week day. The bumper cars were bumping, the merry around was going around, the food was being munched on and the arcade was very very busy. A nice place to take kids.

a month agoCame here on a rainy Saturday around noon. There’s a couple of birthday parties happening. Pretty crowded but expected. My family had so much fun with the arcade. My older son loved the bump cars so the unlimited pass was worth it. Wish they had more stuff for my toddler but he had fun pressing buttons with dad either way. Line for the prizes was long but understandable. Employees were helpful. Didnt get to try the food onsite but that is good to have that option for next time. Plenty of parking. Will be back!
