Stars and Strikes sits on Wrightsboro Road in Augusta, Georgia, just a short drive from downtown and the South Carolina border. It is part of a regional chain that combines several entertainment attractions under one roof, making it a one-stop option for families and groups who want more than a standalone arcade.
The venue is best understood as a family entertainment center — somewhere between a classic arcade and a full-scale amusement venue — and it leans into that identity with food, drinks, and party packages alongside its games. For visitors weighing it against dedicated coin-op spots, the arcade finder directory is a useful starting point.

What Players Say
Across roughly three thousand Google reviews, Stars and Strikes earns consistent praise for the sheer variety of entertainment on offer. Reviewers frequently compare the arcade side favorably to larger competitors — one guest noted “they have probably the same number of arcade games as Dave and Busters” (— Google review) — and the venue’s family appeal is one of its strongest suits, summed up by the comment “It has everything for every age group” (— Google review). Birthday parties are a particular highlight: party hosts are singled out repeatedly, and one parent called it “one of the best kids party experiences I’ve ever had in Augusta” (— Google review).
Food brings mixed reactions. Wings win fans — “the wings! They’re some of the best I’ve had, perfectly cooked and packed with flavor” (— Google review) — but broader service quality drags the experience down. The single loudest theme across reviews, mentioned 28 times, is understaffing, summed up by one guest’s complaint about “the overall disregard for customer service” (— Google review). Bowling equipment is another recurring sore spot, with multiple guests reporting that “every part of a night out bowling was a disaster” (— Google review). Pricing draws mixed feelings (“it’s a little pricey” — Google review) and crowds vary; weekday mornings and early afternoons tend to be the calmest slots, as one reviewer put it: “It’s usually not crowded if you go earlier in the week” (— Google review). One small surprise: food at some tables arrives via a robotic delivery cat, which guests described as “it gets delivered by a cat robot. Whaaaaaat?” (— Google review).
Games & Machines
The venue lists as a video arcade and pairs that with bowling lanes, laser tag, and bumper cars — a multi-attraction setup typical of a modern family entertainment center rather than a pinball-focused barcade. Specific cabinet lineups and prize-redemption rosters aren’t published in the venue record, so individual titles can’t be confirmed here. Augusta-area guests looking for a more traditional coin-op atmosphere can compare it with other arcades in the directory, including spots such as Retro City Arcade Evans GA, which leans more heavily into classic and retro cabinets.
Visiting
Stars and Strikes is located at 3238 Wrightsboro Rd, with phone reservations handled through +1 678-965-5707 and information online at the official website. Doors run late most nights — weeknights close at midnight, Friday and Saturday nights close at 1 AM, and Sunday at midnight, per the venue’s posted hours. That schedule makes it a flexible option for after-work bowling, late-weekend laser tag, or a daytime birthday booking.
The complex includes a full bar and a kitchen, so guests don’t have to leave the building to eat or drink. Birthday and group party bookings are a significant part of the business, and reviews repeatedly highlight party hosts by name as a reason families return. Atmosphere draws mixed notices — some guests find the music too loud for easy conversation — so visitors sensitive to noise may want to scope things out on a quieter weekday first. Within Augusta, travelers also have alternatives worth comparing, including Dave & Buster’s Augusta, Ready Player One Augusta, Urban Air Trampoline and Adventure Park, and Lucky Strike Augusta.
Before you go, it helps to time the trip deliberately. Weekday mornings, early afternoons, and any promotional deal windows surface repeatedly in positive reviews as the path to the smoothest experience, which lines up with the most common complaints about peak-time staffing and lane upkeep.
