8 years agoI've been to LAN King a few times now and it's been a great experience each time.

I've been to LAN King a few times now and it's been a great experience each time. Everyone that works there is easy to talk to and happy to help with anyone that's new or isn't too familiar with gaming in general. I've gone with a group and by myself. It's fun either way. People are respectful, etc. If you get hungry, they have pizza and some other snacks and a soda fountain, including free water if you want. They also give you an hour of free play for your first time there, so that's really cool. Show less

4 years agoI’m not a huge gamer but I love this place! I get to play Virtual reality games with my friends, and play on the cool computers while my boyfriend games with his friends! My favorite is the super smash Bros tournaments! I’ve met the owner a couple times and he is so awesome! Highly recommend :)

2 stars may be generous. I hosted a large event here, reserving the 2 party rooms. The equipment was fine for the most part, and most ran smoothly while we were there, but everything else about my experience was incredibly frustrating. I tried reserving the rooms over 2 months in advance but didn’t even hear back from them over a month after my initial attempt to contact. It took me physically coming into the building and asking if my email was received before I even knew the day I had requested for was available and another 2 weeks before I knew that the rooms had officially been reserved. Every email response I received came consistently about a week after I had sent mine, which made it impossible to work out logistics and have questions answered in a reasonable time for my group. Even then, I was quoted at full price, no discount for lack of communication, no discount for large group/2 room bundle, and no explanation why 2 rooms was provided with 8 medium sized pizzas whereas if I had ordered 1 room I would have received 4 large sized pizzas. ONLY when we got there, it was explained to us that some games we had been planning on playing weren’t available or there weren’t that many central accounts for us all to use. We were sent no list of available games prior to our arrival. The building was incredibly loud and crowded because they were hosting a super smash tournament at the same time as our party and one employee had to repeatedly tell them to “shut up” in order to talk with us and explain the rules to us. By the time we were allowed in to the rooms, it was 30mins past the time our reservation was supposed to start. I’m being generous with my second star ONLY because of Michael Clawson, an employee, who was by far the most caring and professional employee I talked with at LAN King. I’m not lying when I say that man needs a raise. He single-handedly saved my event (for several reasons): gave me his personal phone number when we visited in store so that I had a way to hold the manager I was emailing accountable to responding to my emails, showed me the list of games when I went in to inquire about the lack of communication I had been getting, offered me a discount during the event because he understood my frustrations, went to get ice for us when the ice machine broke, and repeatedly came in to keep me updated on what was happening with our drinks, computers, and pizza. In general, only because he was there were a lot of my anxieties settled. I attribute my events eventual success to him and only him. Show less

A definite recommended 5 stars for me. I will be returning. They just announced that next year they will start weekly tournaments for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, and that's amazing. If you have any interest whatsoever in gaming, look at LAN King for a fun night out. Show less

If I could give 0 stars I would, for one reason only. Ammon the worker there is the absolute WORST employee I have ever encountered in my experience of all gaming places around. He has NO customer service whatsoever and seems like he just doesn't care at all. Always has smart remarks in making you feel less than he is and honestly because of him alone, I will never go back to Lanking and wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. It can't be that hard to watch over customers playing video games, it is incredibly disappointing for how low maintenance a gaming place typically is. Please LanKing, don't dismiss this review and look into the people you bring on. Show less

7 years agoHands down, this is one of the best LAN Arcades I have ever been to. The pricing is super reasonable, the game selection is great, and the facility is clean and inviting. Staff was amazing and the machines ran really well despite it being a busier night. I will definitely be back.

The first hour was free, and when the time we paid for was about to expire at like 11:45 the manager told us he added time so we could play 'til 12:00. Definitely recommend! Show less

Also, a lot of the peripherals just don't work or are starting to show their age. I went there with my partner and we spent like a half hour trying to find two setups next to eachother that had working headphones, keyboards, and mice. I know this likely isn't their fault, and people should respect their equipment more, but it still sucks for everyone else. Show less

Fantastic staff, aesthetic is really pleasant. Computer setups are super solid, although I haven't tried the VR rigs. The Smash tourneys have been the most fun I've had in a long time, pretty coordinated and super friendly (surprisingly). Unlike the competitor I've gone to (Gamer Planet), they have a bit more concessions and an hour of PC is 4$ as opposed to 7$ if I recall correctly. I'm not sure if that's credited to the quality of the computers or not, as I only played League of Legends (which isn't super graphically intense), but it ran highest settings well over 150 fps.

Ammon was very helpful and patient in getting us setup and playing. The machines worked great. The place is clean and has a fun atmosphere. The boys had a great time and can't wait to go back. I wouldn't normally think about a gaming cafe for a fun outing, but we loved it and for an hour of gaming and unlimited soda it was cheaper than the trampoline parks, arcades, or going to the movies we usually do instead.

I emailed with the owners back and forth and they assured me that I had the time in place and all of my husband’s favorite games would be there. We showed up the day of (mind you they didn’t answer any of my calls the week before) and the staff let me know management had told them I was coming FIVE MINUTES before his party. They double booked and said we could only use the individual PC’s in a closed off room. The owners told me they could accommodate my party MONTHS before and told me we could play fun Switch games as a group. We had to uproot plans and do the festivities at our apartment. This place may be great if you are playing by yourself, but I would never go back for a corporate or personal party. Such poor communication, we were very unimpressed. Show less
