Amazing atmosphere, endless entertainment and the food is not only delicious but beautifully presented as well. The bar manager, Austin, was our server and he made us feel so welcome we almost didnt want to leave. I love all of the retro games they have these guys definitely know how to make a come back, and its great for the whole family too!
Pretty fun place, I’ve been here twice now and they have a good selection of food, games, arcade stuff, and they also have axe throwing and some escape rooms. The only downfall is that you have to go through their super complicated website to schedule for the axe theorist and escape rooms.
Love this family friendly place especially Friday&Saturday. Bowling, pinball machines, bingo and more. Theres something to do for ages 5 and up. The young ones can enjoy the food and visuals from the big screen. Place is clean and sanitizer provided.
This is a super fun place for kids! Lots of variety of games! You can earn tickets towards a prize. It is similar to Dave and busters, but not as big. They are currently running a special on weekdays you can play unlimited games for an hour for $10, but you will not earn tickets. I thought this was a great deal, especially for smaller kids.Ive eaten here twice and both times I was disappointed. Its bad bar food, but the drinks were decent and the kids seemed to enjoy their food though.They also have pool, escape rooms, bowling (but not standard size) and bumper cars (small area, but I hear they spin and flip you). I havent partaken in these activities so cannot review them.The environment is clean and well earthen care of. Of course its loud, but that is to be expected. Overall, I would recommend you check it out! Its a fun place, especially for families.
Good old arcade with bowling, pool tables, and bar with food, and lots of free pinball action. Great place to lose yourself in for hours.
First experience here, we went for a birthday party and had a great time. Wife variety of games and things to do. The food was decent as well.
Bri was so helpful at the counter and very friendly. Nathan (?) helped my son so much with his first time throwing axes. He said he really made it so much more fun. We would hang out there again.
We went yesterday and again tonight. Great atmosphere the service was amazing the food Was very delicious the games are typical but still fun we really enjoyed the mini bowling. Austin the Manager was great his customer service was spectacular. The drinks were a HIT!
Amazing place. $20 is enough to have tons of fun!
Very cool and interesting spot in this mall. Bit expensive. I liked the hatchet throwing thing they had in there. They have a nice variety of arcade games. They even have beat saber with the oculus! Sadly its closed right now because of covid. Cant wait until that opens up.
Covid effect is masks and minus one pool table, otherwise still a fun place and great happy hour specials.
Great time, personnel were helpful and timely. Great time for adults and teens
Absolutely LOVE the district, they have great games, great food, and great prizes its always a cool/fun place to take the little ones as they have a variety of games, pinball machines, and activities to do such as: Bowling, escape rooms, axe throwing, and I believe I saw ads for a VR experience (separate from the standard VR games they have in the main room). The cards are easy to load and use as they keep track of your available balance and the points earned from games. They do have a happy hour where the games are half price, you honestly cant beat that, we can and have spent hours in here!
Fun place. Bring hand sanitizer and wipes. I did not see any sanitizing be performed. I saw a table being wiped with a dirty table rag. I will be back for the fun.
Never gets old. We love this place and they keep doing more. I think District sa es the mall...
We were excited to finally try this place out, especially their escape room because we love escape rooms, but this was probably one of the worst we have ever been to. We made our reservation online for a Monday at 8:00pm. When we arrived we went straight to the Escape Room marquee and waited in front of the desk. The bartender who was tending to about 4 guest tables all by herself walked up to the desk, stood right in front of us, never acknowledged us, and walked away. Eventually another patron walked up to us and said I saw that the bartender just ignored you, but if you need help with the escape rooms, you can walk up to the prize desk (mind you our reservation said to arrive 10 minutes before hand which we did, and after all this waiting we were now 5 minutes into our scheduled escape room time). Finally, we were in the escape room, we booked Room 113 since it was easier as we had some first-time escape artists with us, and we were not impressed. First, rather than solving a room and going into the next, you solve one room and exit only to have to go back and forth between the two. Second, it wasnt scary at all as it had claimed to be. Third, it was way too short! It didnt have enough clues, some of the clues that it did have made no sense; it was just a huge disappointment, not what we expected at all. No lie, when we solved the last clue we thought we were opening up another door to another area... nope... the attendant walked in and just said congratulations. We literally looked at one another as if to say, thats it? We didnt even get to take that end of escape room picture. I would have rated it 3 stars, however, thinking back on how we were completely ignored 2 stars is the best I could give. Thankfully your customers are nice enough to help another customer out.
Pretty fun place. Wish I lived in the area so that I could go more frequently. Would love to try some of the other stuff they have going on. Me and my friend loved the food and love the arcade, escape room and boutique bowling. Great atmosphere.
The District rocks! Big shout out to Bartender Austin and the team! Their beers are always plentiful and ice cold and the pinball is red hot! 30+ pinball machines now! Good times!! Great place to practice AXE Throwin too! Thanks yall!
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed renting Jurassic Park and Mario Kart during the COVID-19 quarantine! The staff were amazing - so kind, professional and really found a way to make staying at home an experience to remember. We can’t wait to visit the arcade once things are back open.
Had a great time playing fun games. Food was tasty and some of the staff was really cute. Especially a high strung, long haired boy with a cute goatee. Call me, Blake!
Had a great day at district eat and play! Came in for my fathers birthday (didn’t make reservations or anything - it was a spontaneous idea), and we weren’t disappointed. The place was incredibly busy. When we first walked in we were passed by a couple of employees and weren’t acknowledged until one of the servers walking by finally welcomed us and directed us to the host stand. Coincidentally we ended up getting the same server as our table server. Chris was very nice and even managed to help my father cheer up a bit after having a rough start to his birthday. He was very attentive and made sure we got our food with game card combos to save us a bit of cash! The food was excellent and we left satisfied with our random decision to come in. Keep up the good work!
Grandbabies had fun, a place I can bring them and theyll never get bored
My friend and I have played in this arcade for the last year and a half and have always had a great time with the games and the staff. Recently, we decided to try the escape rooms (neither of us had ever done one before) and we had such an awesome time that weve gone back twice (once to finish the first room and then again to do a different room). All three times we went, Harry was working and was so awesome to us and helped us out with our first escape room experience. The last room we did, Harry was there but Michael was the one to monitor our room and he is equally awesome and helpful. We plan on going back to finish the other two rooms that are there and cannot thank these two enough
I absolutely love this place! The atmosphere is fun and entertaining. I feel like a grown little kid in the arcade. The Escapes Rooms are fun and challenging. Tons of new arcade games and they are updated often. Lots of pinball machines for the enthusiasts. Miniature bowling lanes as well as a few pool tables. Its fun for the whole family.I generally prefer to come hang out at the bar where the staff is always friendly. My favorite bar tender Linda always greets me with a smile, my favorite drink, and good conversation. All around the staff is amazing.I enjoy the occasional poker tournaments held by Texas Holdem Poker Tours as well. Just all around lots of thing to choose from.
Fun for all ages!! Great arcade games, new and old! Points to win prizes! Escape Rooms and Boutique Bowling! And of course of full menu and fully stocked bar. You can purchase a meal at a discounted rate an ad on a $10 or $20 play card. Definitely the best deal! During the week they do have a trivia night, and since we started going over the past year, they are constantly making changes to improve. Great for date nights! Or just time with the kids!
Fun place. Clean and superb customer service. Food and drink was good too.
I heard about this place and wanted to try it out. I have to say i had a good time. My boyfriend and I meet great people, including the manager Dennis. Every time he walked by he would stop and talk to us. Ask us about our day, if the food was good. Even about where we were from. It was a nice experience, we will definitely come back.
This was our first time here. We came to see Dueling Pianos, which were AWESOME! Great crowd. Food and drinks were better than I expected and prices were reasonable. Were from Buffalo and picky about our wings. These were in the top 3 weve had in Florida. The only criticism would be that the hot wings are mild, but the flavor was very good and they were cooked well, crispy without being overdone. Enjoyed the pizza. Good mixed drinks. We didnt play the games but they look like fun and everything was working. Were being a group in a few weeks. Should be fun!
Love this place! Really well placed in the mall and is a ton of fun for the family. Cant speak on the escape rooms because I havent done them (yet), but the boutique bowling is really fun and cute, especially for younger kids, and the arcade and bar is great. Also really decently priced for an arcade/sports bar of this variety!
We love it here! Staff is always friendly, food and drinks are great, and we love the $1 bowling special on Wednesdays
Excellent service and hot food . Will be back soon. Thanks guys
This family friendly place is a definite must for those who have young or old children and adults. You can go bowling without taking off your own shoes, the lanes and balls are small enough for kids to enjoy and the adults can order food and drinks while playing. There are so many video games for all ages and the best thing are the escape rooms. I had my family of 8 and it was so much fun trying to find clues in Room 113. The workers were friendly and very helpful... It was so much fun...bored? Try it with your family!
Great place for the family to spend a little fun with each other. I highly recommend the bowling. Easy to play and a blast for the young ones. We will definitely be back.
The escape rooms had really great concepts and were visually appealing. Unfortunately they were poorly designed, with little fluidity, and many of their elements did not work properly. The room masters were not able to hear the participants in the room and there were several times when our group completed a task but the equipment did not work so we moved on and got stuck. When we finally asked for a clue, the room master told us to do something we had already done. To match the complexity of these rooms, the equipment needs to work correctly and the staff needs to be consistent in their instructions.
I am only giving 2 stars for the concept; a small scale Dave and Busters in the neighborhood. I had to wait close to an hour for my 2 chicken tenders and fries. This was after asking my waitress repeatedly, and excuse after excuse; a few times she didnt even know what I was talking about. Everyone at my table had to ask multiple times for their game cards that came with the combo; this also had the waitress very confused as to who received what & when. When it was time to get my bill, she went ghost! I had to stand at the server station and ask the manager for my check and game card. My bill included a drink that was already paid for at the bar prior to sitting at the table because she assumed someone brought it to me. I was keeping my cool until she decided that she was going to argue with me about the pen that I used to sign my check. She was so busy talking that she didnt remember that I was writing already when she finally went to hand me her pen. She asked me for her pen and when I explained that I had used my own, she had the audacity to tell me that she had handed me her pen. I proceeded to show her my pen from my purse and that was the end of that. I will not be back nor will I recommend anyone to go there. Save your time and money!
Came From out of state and we came here to spend some family times with the kids and nephews. It was an over all a great experience. The kids had a blast and the food was great. The staff was great and kept coming around to see if we needed any thing. The waiter we had was wonderful. At one point the manager Dennis came over To see how we were doing. He took the time to chit chat with us and let us know if there was anything to just let him know. Definitely will come back.
Had a great time with my family! Will come back again when in town! Fun and clean, inviting atmosphere the staff were all knowledgeable and the manager Dennis was very friendly and helpful ! Thanks for the great experience!
It was a lot of fun! Super reasonably priced. Even the speacialty drinks where cheap and yummy. The game room was fun and the bowling looked fun. The only complaint would be that there was no separation between the eating area and the game room so you kind of felt like you were in the middle of a walk way. The service was great everyone was friendly and asked if we need anything. I say it is worth the visit and revisit.
Good deals with combo food/play, nice atmosphere, live band, lots of seating, nice seating areas within the arcades if you want to sit while your kids play close to you, fun games at fair prices. Hope was our waitress tonight and she was great. She really helped us decide what were the best options for our family with combos. We spent 100 for 4 1/2 meals and 70 dollars worth of game cards. The games all worked and it was busy but there is so much seating (dining, couches, bar seating, mini bowling alley seating) we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves because we werent being trampled on by people like other places. Nice big screen TVs everywhere. Equal amount adults and children. We took 3 of our kids ages 13, 5 and 1. Enough space that our 1 year old could walk freely a few steps ahead of us without getting clobbered by 10 year olds. We arrived Saturday night at 9 and stayed until it closed at midnight. Well definitely go again. Thank you!
Im not someone who leaves reviews, but I have been here twice and the service at the bar after 5 pm is absolutely atrocious. No manners, poor attitudes, and Ive heard bartenders talk about each other and how they dont want to be working. Daytime staff is fabulous, evening staff is definitely in need of customer service training. The facility itself is fantastic! Sorry, but I wont come back very often, only to entertain my children once in a while
Family friendly place with good food, fun games and friendly staff. The manger Dennis was very nice and professional. He came around to greet us, make sure everybody was having fun and things were running smoothly. We had a goodtime and a great experience .
Omg! I LOVED this place..there are so many options. Its a bit pricey, and the waiters arent as attentive. But with all the games, who wants to sit still. Lol i got 4 game cards. Started with $80 on each. We reloaded SEVERAL times. But it was a lot of fun. Definitely returning..
Nice area for the kids to enjoy themselves.
This place has so much potential! Very nice design. Cool place to Be unfortunately the staff here are very disrespectful. My server Damaris was very slow, talking with other members of staff and seem to be bothered my any request we made. Our food took some time, but I wasn’t to upset about that, our kids seem to be having fun which made up for the time spent waiting. The food was ok nothing special, but not bad at all. I would definitely recommend this place if it wasn’t for the bad experience we had with our server. Get new staff! This place is pretty cool don’t let bad staff take it down.
Its still new so there are still many plans to add more games, enhance the menu and upgrade the drink list, but its definitely got enough entertainment for both kids and adults! The food options were awesome and I recommend getting the combo deal for gaming and eating! Great place to go for good fun with your friends and/or family!
The food was great, I suggest the grilled chicken Caesar salad. We played like we were kids(were 65 and 73) and our grandkids laughed their butts off...at us. We will definitely be going back.
Submarine escape room was really fun. My team did not help participate but they let me use more than 3 hints just because they could see i was on my own. I did not get out but they made it fun for me even if i was working by my self. I recommend it... With willing team mates.
We tried this place right after the grand opening at noon on Friday. It was busy but not crowded. We ordered wings and fries and we really wanted to get the eat and play combo but like others posted you dont get your card for games until you cash your check out so to avoid meltdowns we just bought a card alone to play. Games were ok, only a couple made for younger kids but we had fun. Bowling looked really fun so we may try that next time. The problem we had was cashing out....we waited a good 20 minutes to try to give our waitress our card so we could leave. Management really needs to fix the whole no card until you pay rule because most people are wanting their cards immediately for their kids to play while parents relax and eat and enjoy themselves.
Amazing service. Bartender Linda was very personable and on top of everything! Food was great, environment very enjoyable!
We love District Eat and Play... Its one of our favorite places to go and have a quick lunch and play some games on the weekends. It has a little bit of everything so everyone can find something that they want to eat and play.
Thank you District Eat and Play for making my daughters 3rd Birthday one to remember forever!!110% recommend them for putting together a party! Make sure you request for Bri to help coordinate the event and ask for Jen the server!! Without either of them I would of struggled lol. They were fantastic with making sure everything that was requested happened. We didnt wait long at all for food. The drinks were refilled continuously. The kids were laughing and having fun. Parents enjoyed themselves too. It was also very nice that District allowed us to have Elsa and Anna come too! Later in the day after bowling she went to the arcade section and kicked butt on some games. I couldnt be any happier for how it went yesterday. Thank you again. She cant wait to come back!
Good place, fun for the kids and adults.
Great bar spot. Rory really hooked it up and made it a great time. Drinks were great and so was the food.
Everytime my Daughter and I come here we always end up dealing with the Host Blake. This guy is awesome!!!! Always Friendly and Outgoing!!! This man is a great Asset to your Team!!!!
Tons of fun! The bowling and games were awesome! We are going to need to go back again to check everything else out!
Nice selection of pinball machines to play and are well taken care of.
Update:Decided to celebrate my birthday #32 this coming saturday 12/28 because I want all my nephews to have fun with me. No to impressed with the party packages but we will see how it turns out. We usually have alot of fun here. This will be our first time trying out one of the escape rooms.
Our family has visited District in many occasions for games and for casual dining, but I wanted to post a review this time because the service was truly wonderful. We went to celebrate a friends birthday. We brought a cake but forgot the candles... the staff was so kind to go out of their way to find us a candle. Everyone was very attentive.
Just walked through with my daughter. Looks fun but we did not play anything
I used to like it more before they shifted to getting every penny they can over customer satisfaction. On top of that, we were getting my son his $1.50 of toys that we had to play $30 to get and he had 248 tickets and needed 250. They wont let you pay for the 2 extra. Thats their prerogative but its common to allow a couple tickets leeway or allow you to purchase the difference. So 3/5 is my rating.
Some fun for the kids at the arcade and bowling alley. Escape rooms are a fun time and there is a bar too!
This place right here! OMG I started playing and couldnt stop. The food was good too.
Growing arcade located inside the Oviedo Mall. Mainly ticket games of skill and chance and a few arcade games. They also have a growing and extensive collection of both classic and modern pinball machines!! All machines are kept in great working order and play very well - not too hard, not too easy. They also have VR, escape rooms, and boutique bowling though Ive never tried it myself. Absolutely check them out if youre a pinhead or just a family looking for a fun afternoon or evening.EDIT: Two months later and the location keeps getting better, adding more pinball machines and arcade machines as well as bumper cars. Shout-out to Rory at the bar as well!!
Went early Saturday afternoon after work with my S/O to have sum fun. I love the arcade and love how they keep adding more games. Love the combo deals where you can get food and game card. Service from bar to booth has been awesome! Havent tried their escape rooms but it is on the list of fun things to do. The only gripe I have about this place is their food; mediocre quality with no flavor. Would give it more stars if they upped their quality of food.
Small is good! Other arcade places are too large and overwhelming. Loved the bowling with the tiny bowling balls!
This place is great! Bowling, Arcade games and tons of other activities. What more could you ask for?
Great place to have fun with it without kids. Staff is very helpful & nice. Everything is very clean and welcoming. And the bonus part you have the mall right in there If you want to shop
I took my son last week and this place had amazing food great service, my son had a blast and the manager Dennis was great,came to our table to make sure our food was good and if we needed anything else. Definitely coming again and again!
Very fun place. I’ve done the boutique bowling, arcade and “Shafted” escape room. All were very fun (the escape room was very well detailed and was very well themed.) I hope this place stays open, it is one of the few entertainment venues in Oviedo left. Overall a very good experience.
Awesome place. Celebrated my kids birthday. We had a blast.
I went with a group of 9 other people at 10 pm on a Saturday. We went specifically because we wanted to take advantage of half price apps, however, they told us that the couple apps that are half off are the only food they offer after 10. It says that nowhere on their material online. We eat some appetizers, which were pretty good, and order some mixed drinks, which were also serviceable. Come time for the check, we all see that the apps were charged full price when she came to collect our cards. We brought it up, and were told its just how it looks before the discount is applied. We gave her our cards, and they were returned for signature and nothing had changed, we were all still charged full price. We had to go up to a server station, all 10 of us, and have our receipts corrected. So now we all have a double charge of the old receipt and the new total on my card. The computer was blamed.By the time that ordeal was done, there was an hour and a half left to play at the arcade. But since it is a very tiny arcade, we figured wed get to play everything. That was until we saw how many machines were out of order. I counted at least 5 of the ones we wanted to play including Injustice, Jurassic Park, and Mario Kart that were labeled out of order or showed actual crashes of the games on the screens. With an arcade that has so little to begin with, to have many of their big advertised arcade games unplayable on a Saturday night only their second week of being open is pretty ridiculous.I can appreciate what they are trying to do for the Oviedo Mall, and the staff was very polite and nice to us all. The staff all seemed just a bit green, some forgetting they had already asked us our order, some at the prize store not seeing a bar code on an item and saying Sorry Im retarded. If youre coming and expecting a scaled down Dave and Busters, and lower your expectations, youll still probably be disappointed. Hopefully if we all ever come back the games are running, the staff has had more training, and the computer is fixed.
Awesome! My son and his friends went there today to celebrate his 17th birthday. They had a great time in the escape room, playing games and having lunch. He said the Hawaiian sliders were tasty as well as the funnel fries with dipping sauces. Service was great. Jessie helped us out with setting everything up. It was our first time there and definitely was impressed with the friendliness of the staff. We will be back for sure!
So much to do, we started with the bowling, then played video games.Food was as good we had some appetizers.
Very, very fun!! Lots of different games to play and good food options!! Make sure to look at all the gaming options online because when you get there, you may want to do more than you planned (money-wise)... cant wait to go back!!
Party rooms are spacious - great for kids as designed. Also perfect for adult team meeting before a company fun day. Full bar, and restaurant food offerings are well made and well beyond the standard arcade pizza. (There is also pizza, of course).
We recently had a party of roughly 60 people. The District was more than accommodating on short notice and their wait staff was great. Both Shawn and Sami did a wonderful job taking care of us. No complaints!!!!!! Would definitely go again....and with a large group. Thank you kindly!!!
Austin was incredible great bartender
Has some new retro games and lots of pinball machines. Good place for a kids bday party
Glad to have fun things to do in our Oviedo mall. My kids love the $10/hr play card!
Great place, went for the bar Rory was my bartender, he was awesome. Highly recommend.
Fun games, great pinball tornements and many more!The owner is a nice guy who really cares about his place!
Great place for a team party.Tough to get a wait staffer to come your way if you dont have a lot of drink orders.
A great place to gather with friends. There are all kinds of things to do, such as escape rooms, bowling, arcade games, eating, and more!
The burgers and fries are excellent. The sliders were great. The service is awesome. The games are fun for kids and adults. Makes sure to get the food and play combos to save money. Well worth it.
Similar to Dave and Busters, much smaller than marketing leads you to believe. Being attached to the mall and having so much press, I assumed it would be much larger and more inventive of a fun spot. Its the same style bowling/arcade/cafe youve seen and been to. Very limited selection of games and activities. Highly costly arcade prizes and run of the mill bowling alley foods. Not a place Id plan on returning to or recommending.
