Eight On The Break - Dunellen

Genuinely love the atmosphere here. I come often to get my workout after work.The machines are well kept and you can even get e-musement cards here! (Score! The only downside is the (new? Kid they hired. He has openly concerning conversations within earshot of patrons. I definitely don't feel safe while he is here.Not sure if he is here other night, outside of Tuesdays, but the rest of the staff are all very nice and attentive.

Greatest arcade in NJ. Been going since I was a kid. I love that the place still feels and looks like it always did. It's def. a trip back to the 80's. Love the smell of the food too!

Great place for cheese steaks, and pinball, pool and video games. Arcade with a grill and great ice cream deserts

Pros:1. Like the only SDVX (sound voltex) cab in NJ2. Has beat mania, another pretty rare rhythm game3. Retro pinball machines (I'm not into those but I'm sure lots of people are)4. Japanese racing games/older rhythm games that you dont see much in the United States (especially not in the east coast)5. Nice billiard tables6. Good milkshakes7. Pretty cheap per play, sound voltex is only $0.25 per play. Other places (singapore/cn/jp) charge around $0.5 per playCons:1. Very old/beat up place, needs some renovation. Saw some messy places too, doing a few repairs, cleaning up the place, and maybe even repainting the walls will do NUMBERS for this place2. Staff can be... a bit off track. One of them started ranting about their relationship while I was trying to eat food. Don't get me wrong, they're fairly nice people and they work fast and efficientlyDO come here if you don't care about the rather messy appearance and atmosphere of this place. If you want to play games and enjoy some milkshakes with your friends, here is the place to go. Also if you're a retro pinball or old arcade game enjoyer, I don't know much about pinball or old arcade games but they seem to have a pretty wide selection of them.DO NOT come here if you're looking for a nice clean and shiny atmosphere to hang out. This place also doesn't have games that your average young child (under 10) would play, it's all retro games and obscure Asian rhythm games. I also wouldn't come here if you are just gonna eat and leave, their food isn't bad but it also isn't fabulous. I would choose a local restaurant over it. I like the milkshakes and fries though.

I love this place and the guys serving food are usually so nice…I’ve seen this guy before and I’ve known him to be more on the quiet side but usually cracks jokes every now and then. Today his vibe seemed very off. Not very polite at all and didn’t say anything every-time we said thank you. Just hoping he’s ok!
