Decades Lancaster - Lancaster (PA)

5 /5 Eric Altman: This place was an absolute blast! It is perfect to take the family, or just as a fun date night. We took the kids and it was so much fun playing games while waiting for our table and food. It is important to note that kids are not allowed after 8:30; it is 21 and over only. Game tokens are the value of a quarter and the most expensive game is two tokens. We started playing games while waiting for our table. It was an 80s kid’s paradise! The drinks were phenomenal. I got the smoked pecan old fashioned and it is in the top 3 drinks I have ever had. My wife got Love Wins and it was served in a BAG! Everything about the restaurant and bar was fun. Like the rest of the restaurant, the food did not disappoint. We got the wontons, curly fries and nachos. They were all fantastic. The nachos had grilled chicken with excellent flavor, the wonton’s chili sauce was flavorful and the curly fries were nice and crispy. We would definitely recommend this place!

5 /5 Mr.English: Busy place. Great for Gen X - kids. Lots of 1980s video games, bowling lanes, restaurant & ice cream bar all tucked away in an old schoolhouse. Seems to draw a crowd. Ice cream flavors were excellent. Great atmosphere. Inside and outside seating areas and lounging as well.

3 /5 H: This is a cool arcade place with loads of games. We ordered appetizers and were told it is happy hour. So we tried the $5 wontons and the $2 tacos. The bartender said it was $2 per taco so we ordered 2 tacos. They gave us 4 tacos. We only ate 2 and told the bartender that there were 2 extra. She said they only rung up 2 and we can have the other 2 for free. The tacos were not too bad, but they were literally the worst tasting tacos I ever ate so we declined and gave them back. When we left we paid our tab (which they just ask for your card, you dont get a paper bill), I luckily printed our receipt on the screen and when we got it they charged us $24 for tacos instead of $4 and they had no idea they over charged us $20 for tacos. They voided the transaction, and charged us again. Again I hit print and again they over charged us for tacos. This time $8, so $4 for the tacos we did not order or eat. The voided the transaction again and charged us again. Make sure you ask for a receipt and make sure everything correct when you go here. It was probably not on purpose, but it is suspicious that they don’t automatically give you any sort of itemized bill/receipt and then over charged us. The wontons were very good. The tacos were very bad.

4 /5 M Roman: Fun family establishment. Food was good. The mozzarella appetizer was Amazing! The basket with pretzels, onion rings and curly fries was huge. Pretzels were more like toasted bread texture. Not bad-but definitely not a true pretzel. Great fun for all ages. Bowling was great. The retro video games were super fun. $5/20coins you typically only need 1-2 coins per game/machine. The bar had great cocktails. Service was slow-given we visited mid week and the place wasn’t not busy. Staff was friendly. Bathrooms were very clean. **after 8:30pm-minors are not allowed in the building** plan your visit accordingly

5 /5 MattyRoach: Decades was the absolute perfect kickoff to our wedding weekend. Our guests traveled from all over to get to Lancaster, and being welcomed with great food, fun games, creative drinks, and a relaxed, social space was exactly what we hoped for. It set the tone for the entire weekend in the best way possible. Everyone kept telling me the pretzels were the best they’d ever had, and they weren’t wrong, those pretzels absolutely slapped! The sliders were also a huge hit, and multiple guests were already planning return trips just to come back for a full burger. The arcade games and bowling kept everyone entertained, and we loved seeing guests stay well past the official end time. It felt like an awesome Friday night out with friends, instead of a formal wedding event, which was exactly the vibe we wanted. The staff was incredible too. Every person we interacted with was kind, helpful, and welcoming. We’re so grateful for all the behind-the-scenes logistical work, from creating custom menu items to accommodating dietary restrictions and helping us select the right amount of food. With about 60–70% of our wedding guests showing up, it was such a special night. I’m constantly using my Decades pint glass and wearing the Decades t-shirt. We can’t wait to come back the next time we’re in town!!!
