Amazing arcade! It has every game you could hope for. I've never seen a lot of the games they have here anywhere else. It's amazing to see an arcade still thriving today. Any video game enthusiast should make the effort to come here at least once if you're in the area.Don't let the surrounding area deter you!

I've been hearing about this place for years, but I've never been. Until recently that is, and boy howdy was it a absolutely blast of a time, some absolutely gems of arcade cabinets and pinball tables. Lots of games to play with friends, and over all a affordable and awesome place to have fun.

Dorky's is the place to have fun and feel nostalgia for the days of "hitting the arcade". There's always good times when one goes to Dorky's. And, yes I'm rocking a Naruto vest. ?

I'd like to say this place is so fun and worth every QUARTER! My kids had a blast even though the fun wasn't about them (haha.) They sell food and it was actually very good along with snacks and BEER! The beer prices range between $13 per beer and as low as $3/$4 per beer. We bought snacks, tacos and 4 of the more pricey beers at $11 a beer x4 and spent $40 on coins (aka quarters) for 3 hours of FUN! Remember about $40 was for beer $20 on snacks and a few tacos. It was indeed worth the money and everyone who worked there was very kind to us and our children. YES you can bring your kids so please know it's a family fun environment. We will indeed be back!P.S. If you were born before 92' you'll know every game that they have. It's very RETRO and Nostalgic!

Had a good time overall. Only stopped in to play some pinball. The machines could use some TLC. And for the volume it could prolly stand to expand but a good time w a decent selection and coin cost over all.

My family love this place! It is great for time with kiddos or a great date night. I'm really competitive and always have to play air hockey when we take a trip here. I also really like that the pinball machines have cup holders, it makes game playing convenient.1 star down for bathrooms.

I wish I lived closer to this place it's so awesome! Tons of modern games with a HUGE selection of old school stuff that you'd remember from Aladdin's Castle or The Golden Coin for those of you who had to go to malls to play video games. The beer prices are fair and they have a very very nice selection. I can't recommend this place enough to all my Puget sound peeps, family friendly to the max!!

I had a blast here. They have a good selection of beers and ciders. Past a certain time they only allow adults. Maybe 10 or 11?A wide selection of games. Very good spot for a date!

Easy to get to, friendly staff, lots of arcade games that are challenging and fun! There's something for everyone. Games take quarters and theres several machines to change out cash. It's an arcade place- don't expect tiny kids to be entertained. Good for around ages 8yo- adults. Good selection of beer, drinks, and a decent selection of food. There's a few tables to sit at and eat or rest. When staff is approached about an issue with a game (if any) they are quick to respond and try their best to fix it.

It's old, but they have a ton Of great games! And alcohol! They are very mask supporting, so, unless you're taking a drink, expect to be called out for not having your mask over your face.
